Very conveniently located near train station
Decent hotel, very close & convenient to the train station. Good breakfast in the morning & quick and easy checkout. Not luxury, but perfect for a quick stop over when traveling.

No A/C in nice hotels in Europe in the summer.
You need to be careful with hotels in Europe in the summer. They are not equipped for the heat that Europe experiences in the summer now. This hotel was very nice but without an A/C. They at least had a fan. Others i stayed in with Hotels.com did not and seamed to be in denial. When talked about the new heat in Europe now they all told me they have A/C at home, yet none in the hotels.

Worth it for the breakfast.
The front desk was helpful and used to guests traveling to Gießen for business, and check-in was easy. The room itself (a single bed), was very small and felt more like a dorm room, not exactly the Hyatt Grand, but everything was clean. The furniture in the room was simple but had clearly been put in semi-recently, and although the bathroom was tiny it was very functional. I'd call the room as a whole utilitarian, with the exception of the television. I just needed a place to stay for work in Gießen for a night, so it was ideal. The real gem, however, is the breakfast buffet. The whole hotel seems to have a tension between a little shabby and seemingly once very fancy, but the breakfast was all class. A huge 'German' breakfast of breads and meats and cheeses and spreads and fruits, with joghurt and cereal and coffee, and even scrambled eggs and sausage patties for us Amis. I'd stay there again just for the complimentary breakfast.

Basic but adequate
I booked this room for a couple of nights on business. It is situated next to the main train station and like a lot of other hotels in Germany quite basic in style. I had a single room which was perfectly adequate for my requirements. Not particularly noisy, car parking and the breakfast is to be recommended. I found the hotel worked well for my needs. I would certainly use it again

Old-fashioned, no frills hotel
On a cold frosty night, I found my 3rd floor room unwelcoming, antiquated, cold, small and dingy. On the plus side the hotel was centrally located with good restaurants within a short walk. Breakfast in the morning was good. On street parking was easy, just as well as the hotel car park is tiny. Close to the station.

Parkhotel Friedrichstraße - Giessen
Basic but clean, ok if all you want is a bed, a shower that works and a simple continental breakfast. About a ten minute walk to the central shops and bars, although there are several other hotels equally as close. I'd recommend The Alt Giessen, as they did good food and beer

Mashed together room and hotel is very hard to find
This hotel is no way a four star hotel. The only way this is a four star hotel is if the closet and coffee table is all they take into account. The room is very small and the furnishing is very close together. I stubbed my toe and hit my head on two separate occasions. The very small shower area is handheld. You can also hear your neighbors when they are doing anything with audio (watching TV or listening to music). The parking is in a hideous location in the back and finding this place is almost impossible without a cell phone (GPS had trouble). I do not know how this hotel got a four star rating, because at best it is a three or two star hotel. TRUST ME JUST GO WITH A FIVE STAR HOTEL, BECAUSE THIS HOTEL IS NOT FOUR STARS.

the room was ok, but there were no coffee/tea making facillities. the shower had a curtain and a small ceramic retaining wall to keep the water back, unfortunately water leaked underneath the wall and flooded the bathroom.

Giessen's Perfect Location to the Trainstation
I have stayed at this hotel several times and the service and staff were top notch as usual. The room I stayed at was what I expected after staying here several times. The only complaint I have on this trip was the light in the bathroom was really dim, to the point of almost being dark.

Mediocre
The position of the hotel is good super close to the train station, besides that it was definetly not a good experience. The reception initially had no idea I had a booking and that I had already paid. The wifi never worked, there wasn't even a bottle of water in the room. Other hotels in the same price range are much better.

Beruflich unterwegs
Das Einzelzimmer war klein aber sauber und vollkommen ok für einen kurzen Aufenthalt. Das Bad war neu und sauber, die Matratze gut. Für mich ein Plus: Keine Klimaanlage und Fenster, die noch zu öffnen sind. Der geflieste Fußboden macht das Zimmer hygienischer und hält es trotz Außentemperatur von 30 Grad etwas kühler. Da es in Gießen nicht sehr viele Hotels gibt, sucht man auch vergeblich nach echten Schnäppchen. Das Zimmer war für die Ausstattung etwa 10-20€ zu teuer. Für einen Erholungsurlaub würde ich das Hotel allerdings nicht wählen.
