“Average”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 January 2012

Hotel could do with some updating. Lobby and restaurant look nice-rooms not so much. Beds are not particularly comfortable. The bedrooms and bathrooms are pretty basic. The beds are generally two single beds pushed together. I've stayed here a number of occasions and in a number of locations in the vicinity. It is probably the best hotel that I have stayed in in the vicinity, but that isn't great praise, as overall standard isn't great. A purely business hotel-you wouldn't come here for pleasure. Staff generally nice and helpful. Rooms always clean. Avoid railway facing rooms if possible-noise can be bad. Breakfast is self-service and has wide selection.

Dear guest,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment on your stay. I regret that you were not fully satisfied with your hotel room. Naturally a 20 year old hotel such as ours cannot easily stand the comparison to a new hotel building. Nevertheless our guests value the quality of our staff members and the level of service they provide, the way you did.
We are aware that the noise coming from the trains clearly can be disturbing. For this reason we have installed double-glazed windows in all rooms. That measure may not be sufficient for everyone so we recommend our Comfort rooms facing away from the railway side as you did.
Still I do hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on a future visit to Darmstadt. Please be assured that we will do our utmost to continue providing you with our best services.

Yours sincerely

Tanja Knop

“Tired, sad, disappointing”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 16 December 2011

I had two stays here very recently - because it was walking distance to where I needed to be - not because I thought it was that great. It is very close to the railway station which means you have to avoid the rooms facing the railway lines - even the higher floors are super noisy despite the double glazing. The rooms are quite large but look and feel really tired, with bathrooms that were slightly smelly and not as clean as they could have been. If you want to iron something you have to go to a shabby little room on the 2nd floor. Really uninspiring and disappointing overall - especially since other Maritims in Germany are often much better than this.

Room Tip: Go for a room facing away from the railway - or you won't sleep

Dear guest,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment on your stay in our hotel. I very much regret your dissatisfaction with that stay
Naturally a 20 year old hotel such as ours cannot hold out easily against a new hotel building. Nevertheless our guests value the quality and service of our employees very highly. Especially the employees of our technical department are constantly repairing and remedying deficiencies.
We are also aware that the noise coming from the railway can be disturbing. For this reason we have installed double-glazed windows in all the rooms. I am sorry if this measure was not sufficient to guarantee you a completely comfortable stay.
I nevertheless do hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on a future visit to Darmstadt. When making reservations please do mention the fact that you prefer one of our Comfort rooms. These rooms face the opposite side of the hotel making the train noises almost inaudible. Please be assured that we will do our utmost to provide you with our best services.

“Facing the busy railway”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 July 2011

Rather old but neat, looks like it was built in the eighties.
Pretty close to the railway station.
My room faced the railway, so even on the 5th floor it was a bit noisy.
Breakfast was good, and so was the restaurant in the evening.

“Everything Top of the Line, with Fabulous Breakfast Buffet”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 13 June 2011

This is one classy place. Feather comforters and pillows. Sauna and pool. Location near train station, right on the Airliner bus route from Frankfurt Airport. Windows that open, if you want them to. Currency exchange at nice rates.

And the FOOD. This is the most glorious breakfast buffet I've ever seen. There had to be 30 kinds of meat, that looked like lunch meat, but transcended far above in taste. 3 kinds of liverwurst. 4 kinds of fish - lox, herring, and two I didn't recognize but loved none the less. Cheeses. Butter in logs (salted or unsalted) to carve off what you wanted.

And Breads. Sooooo many breads. I counted 15 one day, not counting pastries. The pretzel rolls stole my heart, but the hearty ryes were not far behind. Most of these, you carve your own slice.

Along with these were cereals and serving bowls of yogurts and granolas; 10 jams and 3 kinds of honey; weiners and beans and soup and boiled eggs and pickles and mustards. And hot tea (with tiny personal tea pots) and juices, and a lovely server who made it clear that "coffee" translates just fine.

A lovely spread, a lovely room. Warning: if you cannot sleep with the sound of an occasional train, be sure to mention that when you book your room. I found the sound very comforting, but some did not.

Room Tip: ask if you do not want train sounds!

“Pricey”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 8 June 2011

I booked this hotel based on company travel website and colleague recommendation (they have a pool and I love swimming in the morning)
I tried changing the departure date on arrival, staff at the front desk wasn't helpful, next day in the morning went to the pool, elevator broken, used stairs, pool door closed. Called reception, they were adamant that door is open and that they'll send someone to check. 10 minutes later, door was still closed :-(

Called to get iron, reply go to 2nd floor and there is a ironing room :-(

Room service food was good.

Rooms are old but clean. Got a room on the train side, it is pretty loud everytime a train passes, luckily was very jet legged, so didn't notice it during the night, but yes in the morning when I woke up

I'm pretty disappointed for the price of the room per day

Dear guest,

Thanks a lot for taking the time to comment on your stay in our hotel. I am sad that you were not completely satisfied with that stay and would like to take this opportunity to answer your comments.
As you mentioned yourself you made the reservation through your travel website or company travel agency. Travel agency commission arrangements require that all changes or cancellations for such reservations need to be made through said travel agency or website. As requested the employee at our front office did change your departure date right away and asked you to inform the travel agency of your changed travel itinerary. I am very sorry if her behaviour was misunderstood and she left an impression of not being helpful. Surely her intention was the opposite and she wanted to make sure all bodies or institutions involved had all necessary information.
I am also very sorry that you experienced difficulties when trying to visit our pool area. Unfortunately the elevator going to our pool is currently out of order which forces our guests to use the emergency staircase. I realize this in combination with the closed access door is a very inconvenient situation for which I offer my deepest apologies. Please be assured that we are doing our best to carry out the necessary repairs as soon as possible.
I sincerely do hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on a future visit to Darmstadt. Please contact either myself or my secretary Angela Bauer to make a booking. You may rest assured that we will do our utmost to provide you with our best services and to guarantee a pleasant stay.

Yours sincerely
