Bad Homburg is a quaint town with lots of parks, spas, restaurants and coffee shops. It is only 1/2 hour by train to Frankfurt city and also 1/2 hour by taxi to Frankfurt airport. I am not sure if this hotel is a good value as I did not price out the other ones in town. It cost me 128 Euros with breakfast.

Pros: Located near many parks, walking trails and spas. Great breakfast buffet. Very comfortable beds. Clean and moderately quiet rooms. In room safes firmly bolted to wall. Only a short 20minute walk to train station.

Cons: No air conditioning. Showers consist of poorly converted bathtubs with short splash guards leading to uncomfortable water spray angles and splashing on floor. Gym is very poor and not worth using. The hotel charges for in-room internet usage.

I have twice stayed at the Park Hotel. The first stay was for just over two weeks, and the second for just over three weeks. Both stays were related to extended business matters.These long stays, I believe, give me a really good basis on which to judge this hotel.

The staff are invariably very helpful, warm, friendly and efficient. The accommodation is good, and the hotel spotlessly clean. The breakfasts are superb - indeed, perhaps the best I have had anywhere. Room service always is courteous. The hotel, for any longer stay, has a warm, friendly, atmosphere. The staff at reception are willing to go to GREAT lengths to make one's stay commodious and enjoyable. The breakfast room staff very quickly get to know one's preferences and circumstances. (One's coffee is on the table literally before one has reached it - accompanied by an always a pleasant, non instrusive, chat.) The La Tavola Restaurant is very good indeed, with regular diners enjoying personalised service.

My only criticisms are that the internet connection is slow and - for people with online work to do - very expensive, and the laundry service, while supremely efficient, is pricey. Oh: and a coffee machine/kettle in the bedroom would be a good addition!

A hotel to STRONGLY recommend to those going to Frankfurt or Bad Homburg.

The hotel is very old. My room had a very small single bed. It was my first trip to Europe and I needed a electricity plu adaptor but the hotel didnt have it to borrow me.
Cable TV with no channels in English.
The shower is extremelly small.
Breakfast was good.

The hotel is very well located, with seveal restaurants and shopping from a walk distance from the hotel.
In from of the hotel there is a beautiful park.

My husband and I stayed one night for the purpose of using the Kur Royal spa (fabulous). We had forgotten to bring our VAT (tax-free) form with us, and the desk worker told us it was no problem that we return the following day with the form to have the tax taken off (we live in Germany - this has never been a problem at any German hotel we've stayed at and we've traveled extensively.) I returned the next day, and a female desk worker initially (snottily) refused to take the form, then went around the corner to the manager's office and asked about it after I explained quite a few times that VAT forms are valid for German hotels. I heard the manager respond to her, but when she came back still refusing, I asked to speak to the manager and she said he wasn't there. I replied that she'd just talked to him(!) and she quickly decided she'd called him on the phone. I told her I heard him talking to her(!!), and then she decided that he WAS there, but he was on the phone. (His office was no more than 3 meters away, and he was not on the phone.) I said no problem, I'd wait for him, and she told me he wasn't coming out to answer my question. She refused to give her name (for the letter I'll be writing to the owners of this hotel) and am shocked that a manager would hide from his guests and listen from around the corner while his employees lie for him. I was quite embarrassed for him as I left.

It's a shame, as the location from this hotel to the Kur Royal spa is great, only a 5 minute walk through a nice park. Rooms aren't bad, breakfast is fine, but the decor is quite outdated. I 100% recommend finding another hotel however; this one is surrounded by other nice looking hotels who can't possibly treat their guests as poorly as the management of the Parkhotel.
