Maritim Hotel am Schlossgarten Fulda

10/10 Excellent

"Great hotel with an absolutely beautiful and stunning dining room and garden. The breakfast was superb with lots of options. We will certainly stay again when we visit Fulda in the future "

Sure Hotel by Best Western Rhoen Garden

10/10 Excellent

"We booked this hotel just for one night sleep passing through the city. From the moment you walk into this hotel you feel like home. It’s cozy and home like. Comfy bed, spacious rooms and not to mention the view from our balcony. The front desk Hallala (sorry if I have misspelled the name) was so pleasant, respectful and she took care of our big family and checked us out with so much love and attention. I am so sad we didn’t have time to spend couple of nights in this hotel but for sure will be back. Also shout out to bartender/waiter at the restaurant. He was so kind. Thank you for such a nice experience. "
