You won't be disappointed at the Dorint in Wiesbaden. Architecturally, it's like a giant fish bowl, allowing for expansive views of the park-like surrounds. The lobby is open, modern and welcoming with a lobby bar and two restaurants. The front desk staff is simply outstanding: friendly, well-groomed, and extremely helpful. There is free Wi-fi in the lobby. The hotel is close to the main train station and an easy walk to central shopping areas.
The rooms are smaller but very efficient and comfortable. I particularly like the wardrobe area. Lots of built in maple closets with an enclosed area for your suitcases keep clothes clutter out of the main sleeping area. And there are plush terry robes and slippers, too! The granite bathroom is well-lit with a wonderful Grohe rain-shower head (that almost always soaks the bathroom floor) and deep soaking tub. The bathroom amenities are sub-standard, though. The beds were firm and very comfortable, but there were only foam pillows and comforters. Not a feather to be found. The bed linens were of the highest quality. There is a refrigerated mini-bar with quite a bit of extra space as well as a hot pot with a nice selection of teas and a couple of instant coffees. There is no ironing board or iron. The large windows actually opened, thankfully, as the rooms were on the warm side. There was a small but comfortable felt covered chair and ottoman and a nice desk/work area. Unfortunately, in room internet is VERY expensive (18 €, YIKES). Most rooms do not have wireless.
The restaurants are simple but elegant. We only had dinner there one night. The food was uber-delicious and the service outstanding. But again, very expensive (entrees started at 19€). The breakfast buffet looked excellent.
The gym is top notch with a wide variety of weight cardio equipment. The spa area is a nice place to relax and unwind after a day of work or touring and is highly recommended.
