“An odd beginning but a comfortable stay”

Despite an odd beginning to my visit when communication was by a phone on the front door and a number given to open a box to get a key for my room, the hotel was warm and clean and provided a good basic room for my stay. I first met the staff at breakfast the day after booking in. The receptionist and another member of staff (the manager I think) who spoke good English which is relief as I only know about 4 words of Geraman. The buffet breakfast was good with a variety of food and the offer to cook eggs and warm milk. There was no kettle in the room but this may be a peculiarly British thing so I wasn't sure if this is usual for Germany but as there were no staff around on Saturday I wasn't able to get adrink from the bar either. I guess I could have called using the phine at the entrance . The hotel is described as a business hotel and is close to the station and many businesses including the one where my son works. I suspect there would be more staff and guests during the week visiting the local businesses. If you are happy with a fairly anonymous hotel which was fine for me as I don't speak Geraman and it meant my son could come in and out without any explanation. If however you prefer a more welcoming, cosy hotel this isn't the best choice. For warm clean room with a comfortable bed and good breakfast this is pleasant place to stay.

“Needs further invesments, but still recommendable”

Obviously not much invested in the hotel in the last years, but if you need a hotel for one night in Darmstadt, this is a good spot as it is not expensive, it is clean, the breakfast buffet was OK, so not much to complain. I am spoiled in that I have seen a lot more luxurious hotels as well to which I can compare, hence the relatively low score for a hotel that I still would recommend.

“Less than expected”

Probably it's a regular level, but I'm not that impressed regarding bedroom decoration. It's functional but a little bit of imagination would help first impression. On my arrival the bedroom was dirty and the shower didn't worked correctly ... after my claim, everything was perfect. Breakfast quite well and the service very helpfull. Probably I'll repeat, but not sure.

“Fine but no frills”

Room was clean and nice enough, although a bit bare (one pillow, no wifi, empty fridge - so if these things are important to you bear this in mind) Staff were friendly. Breakfast was ok but not very inspiring. Very handy location near the station and walkable from the centre of town. Recommended as a convenient hotel with decent enough room but definitely not luxurious feeling in any way.
