"My brother and I were only in town for one night, and this hotel provided everything necessary for a great stay. We arrived before check-in time and early rooms weren't available, but the staff provided luggage storage which allowed us to explore the city and check off several things before returning for our room. They also offer a 10% discount if you choose to dine at the restaurant downstairs - which we weren't necessarily planning on but caved once we smelled the food from outside (definitely recommend snagging some pizza here!). Another nice option was their wellness area which has a fitness center, sauna, and pool. However, if you aren't used to a legitimate sauna, be warned - IT'S HOTTTT. We both use the saunas offered at our gym back home, but this one was a challenge to stay in a full 10 minutes. The feeling afterward was welcomed after days of logging thousands of steps. I'd recommend this hotel to anyone needing something convenient and comfortable."

"Staff was really friendly and helpful. Room was clean. A bit noisy during the night."

"Good hotel in easy walking distance from the station and to public transport into the centre. In a quiet area close to offices. Quiet well appointed bed rooms. Nice buffet breakfast and area for drinks and socialising in the evening. Evening meal not the best so suggest eating elsewhere. Minimal staffing, so felt a bit stretched at times. For uk travellers probably comparable to premier inn. Darmstadt a nice city - Matildenhohe very picturesque, lovely Herrengarten park, waldspirale architecture, and fossils in messel - all worth seeing. Excellent public transport - clean, efficient and cheap. Good base to explore the region - had a very enjoyable stay "

"Would book again."

"Clean room, nice bed, friendly staff"

"Very nice stay. Good breakfast"

"Nice location, good price, friendly staff. I will return. First time I had breakfast at the hotel. Hmmm.. good selection but big improvement needed for display/storage. Warm items (e.g. scrambled eggs) was cold due to no heated displayplate. Cold items (e.g. cheese and ham) were warm, due to no cold displaytray. I had breakfast at 9.00 am, and the cheese was warm, hard and had started to curl up. Not a very pleasant sight. If no improvement, I have to eat my breakfast elsewhere."

"Room air conditioning thermostats control was broken, so you either have to switch it off to freeze or leave to boil. Didn’t get any sleep on the first night. Water pressure was too weak to reach the shower head. The pillows were smelly and very old. There was a red spot of blood on the duvet. The hotel is not staffed until 3pm and after 10pm. Apart from Liza, other staff are miserable and make you regret asking a question. Avoid this hotel if you can."
