There is a certain art in making people feel comfortable and relaxed in a hotel. Not many hotels have it. This is a rare exception. There is nothing particularly outstanding about the amenities or rooms. They are comfortable and functional. A good value for the price. But it is the service that sets the Park Hotel apart from others. Most of the members of the team have worked here for years and recognize the repeat guests and know them by name. But even if its your first time here, they make you feel welcome and comfortable. Truly they go out of their way to help.
The location is first rate. Bad Homburg is the best place to stay in the Frankfurt area regardless if you are here for pleasure or business. The center piece of the city is a wonderful, huge park. In the grand central European traditions. Lots of walking paths, health treatments at the "Kur" which include water,mud,massage, etc. etc. The hotel , as the name implies, is right across the street from the park. No other hotel can really boast such wonderful location in Bad Homburg.
This is not a Holiday Inn. The rooms are very much in a German style. Which means, for example, oriented more toward bath takes than shower takers. Don't be an ugly American and make a big deal bout it. Try taking a bath. You may find you will slow down and enjoy yourself. There is no air conditioning. Bad Homburg is in the hills and it rarely gets hot. Usually, all you need to cool down is just an open window. But if it happens to be really hot out, rooms will get warm in the afternoon, but always cool again by nigh time.
For english speakers, the only TV channel of interest is CNN. But if you are here to watch TV, you are missing out. The staff ALL speak very good ENglish and you will never feel "awkward".
The buffet breakfast is amazing. It's like having a top rate Sunday brunch EVERY DAY for breakfast. It's a real pleasure and gets your day off to a right start. Alas, as with most of the german hotels Wireless Internet is charged extra. However, UNLIKE most of the other hotels, you buy "use time". Which means you only pay while you are on. That makes the price reasonable.
Italian restaurant in the hotel building is first rate (La Tavolla). The restaurant "Best of Beef" is a good steak house, but would be considered as overpriced by anyone from America.
Bottom line - this is a great "base" from which to explore Germany. You will leave with find memories.
