Hotel berhampiran Ludwigsmonument Darmstadt, Darmstadt

If you're looking for a place to get a restful night's sleep, do not go there. I learned this the hard way after a recent stay at the Best Western Plaza hotel in Darmstadt. In the middle of the night, we were abruptly awoken by a loud electrical bang. It turns out there was an electrical hazard in the hotel. The noise was so loud that it was impossible to sleep through it (80-90db). When I spoke to the night receptionist about the situation, he told me to take some ear plugs. The problem wasn't solved until an hour later. Needless to say, it was a very disruptive and unpleasant experience. When we checked out the next day, the day receptionist was rude when I told him we were unhappy with our stay. He rudely threw us a free parking ticket and acted like that should be thanking him up for the terrible experience we had. As a frequent business I would make sure to avoid any Best Western or Plaza hotel in the future. If you're looking for a place to stay, it would be better to sleep in your car or in a one star hotel than stay at one of these hotels brand.

I checked in. The room was prepaid and they took a credit for incidentals. All good. I went down half an hour later to get a beverage and got told I needed to pay in cash. Made no sense at all. Their English was terrible and their German not much better. That doesn't worry me at all, but them not being able to answer my questions was frustrating. The air con did not work. They said they would send housekeeping (??) I check out 2 days later. No one came to help. Late on my first day the power failed. No TV, no aircon (even if it did work) No toilet, yes, the toilet needs power to flush. Imagine the mess after 2 nights. I told them and they said someone would come. The next morning I told them again and they said the maintenance people were just having breakfast. They never came. 2 nights with no power. I complained again at check out and the girl at check out said sorry and there is nothing they can do. Avoid this place at all costs. There are so many new options in the area check those out. I am taking this up with Marriott and Amex.

Catena alberghiera Tedesca che abbiamo avuto il grande piacere di provare per la prima volta in questa occasione. Il Dormero Hotel Darmstadt si è senza dubbio rivelato uno dei migliori alberghi in cui abbiamo soggiornato durante il nostro ultimo viaggio in Germania. Moderno, ottima dotazione delle camere, prezzo concorrenziale, posizione esterna rispetto al centro città ma ben collegato dai mezzi pubblici (e in periodo di 9-Euro Ticket è stato davvero ottimo) posso assolutamente consigliare questo albergo sotto ogni aspetto. Prenotato tramite ******* al costo di poco meno di 58€ per una notte, due persone, colazione esclusa, devo dire che il nostro soggiorno è stato eccezionale. Reception aperta solo dalle 13 alle 23 ma con personale presente al nostro arrivo (nel primo pomeriggio) che ci ha gentilmente assegnato una camera all’ultimo piano, proprio come richiesto. Stanza nuova, arredata in stile ultramoderno e di buon gusto con colori sul bianco/rosso/nero, bagno dotato di doccia e asciugacapelli, grande televisore, minibar con alcune bevande gratis come benvenuto, dispositivo di cambio luci della camera in grado di modificare l’ambiente a piacimento, letto di grandi dimensioni (comodissimo), aria condizionata, cassaforte, Wi-Fi e silenzio totale in tutta la struttura. Presente un parcheggio esterno gratuito o, se si preferisce, un garage sotterraneo (non economico però, 15€ al giorno). Al pianterreno, vicino alla reception, sono presenti la sala colazione (che non abbiamo fatto) ed una teca con all’interno un serpente che “accoglie” i clienti. Lo stile moderno, la generale organizzazione e la qualità della struttura e delle camere ci hanno lasciati totalmente soddisfatti.

Für Business garantiert das beste Hotel, da alle darmstadt-relevanten Firmen direkt um die Ecke sind. Für Touristen zu weit entfernt vom Zentrum. Aber: ein tolles Hotel mit fantastischem Konzept. Alles wirkt neu renoviert, und das mit Liebe. Personal sehr hilfsbereit - und das 24/7. Super sauber... Wir fühlten uns sehr wohl. Frühstücksleistung ebenfalls sehr gut.

Ein perfekter Ort für ein Familientreffen: wunderschöne Zimmer, der Park, das Essen, der Wald. Man kann flanieren, am Sonntag Brunchen, im Schatten der Bäume ausruhen oder im kleinen Biergarten verweilen. Wir hatten einen Ort gesucht, an dem sich unsere kleine, aber gut auf dem Erdball verstreut lebende Familie wieder einmal treffen kann. Wo man reden, Essen, geniessen kann, im Wald spazieren, im Park entspannen, ein Buch lesen oder sich auch einmal aus dem Weg gehen kann. Die Nähe zum Frankfurter Flughafen ist dabei Fluch und Segen zugleich: tagsüber immer wieder Flugzeuge, dafür aber auch ein kurzer Weg für die Familienmitglieder, die aus anderen Kontinenten anreisen mussten. Die Zimmer: wunderschön, sauber, gut ausgestattet. Die Zimmer direkt hinter dem Schloss sind sehr schön, vor allem die Nummern 201 bis 206, da 207 ff nach vorne liegen, zum Haupthaus hin, wo die Küche dann doch nicht zu überhören ist, wenn Samstag abends noch eine Hochzeit stattfindet. Alle anderen Zimmer: perfekt. Und wer noch mehr Ruhe wünscht: im Zeughaus, einen wunderschönen, riesigen massiven Naturstein-Bau aus alten Zeiten, wenige Minuten durch den Wald zu Fuss zu erreichen, liegen die wohl ruhigsten Zimmer, mitten im Wald. Für Hundefreunde: man kann sie mitnehmen. Und sie werden bestens integriert: bei unserer Ankunft waren zwei Hundedecken am Boden, zwei Keramik-Fressnäpfe, und wir waren nicht die einzigen mit Hund. Durch den umgebenden Wald ist man sofort im Grünen, auch nachts, wenn ein Hund mal raus muss. Für Nicht-Hunde-Freunde: die Zimmer unserer Hundelosen Familienmitglieder waren blitzblank sauber, keine Hundehaare, kein Geruch. Das Essen war hervorragend. Das Frühstück gibt es im Haupthaus, so umfangreich, wie ich es selten gesehen habe: nicht nur Rührei und Speck, Würstchen und Ei, sondern auch Kaiserschmarrn, verschiedene Müsli- und Cerealiensorten, alle möglichen Brote, Wabenhonig, dazu noch verschiedene wirklich gute Teesorten, einen Samowar, und alle möglichen Kaffee-Varianten. Ich hätte den Tag im Frühstückssaal verbringen können. Am Sonntag gab es einen Brunch: ein riesiges Buffet, nicht zu viel, aber alles: Fisch, Fleisch, Gemüse, Pasta, Salate, Desserts. Von einer wirklich sehr guten Qualität. Dazu angenehme, sehr sehr schöne Klaviermusik, Live von einem freundlichen Pianisten gespielt, gerade laut genug, dass es schön zu hören war, und leise genug, dass man sich gut unterhalten konnte. Am Abend hatten wir einen Tisch auf der Terrasse reserviert, auch hier gab es ein herrliches Essen, vom Salat mit Salzwiesenlamm über Vegi-Teller bis zum Fisch oder Fleisch. Hotel, Essen, Service, es war wunderbar. Gab es weniger schöne Dinge? Ein paar Kleinigkeiten: die Bundesstrasse hinter dem Schloss ist zu hören, aber nicht sehr laut (wenn man draussen auf der Terrasse sitzt). In den Zimmern ist sie nicht zu hören. Die Flugzeuge habe ich bereits erwähnt, uns hat das überhaupt nicht gestört. Die Zimmer lassen sich gut lüften, sind aber nicht klima

We arrived in Frankfurt in the morning and easily found the point outside terminal 1 where the hotel shuttle picked us up shortly after. It took 12 minutes or so for a ride to the hotel. The receptionist Jasmin was very welcoming and gave us an early check-in at no extra charge! The room was clean and modern, and had all we needed. The free breakfast was excellent, with lots of choices,and the espresso machine where you can make your own cappuccinos & macchiatos! There is a nice wooded area outside the hotel. And once you cross the street, you can quickly walk to a great German beer garden & restaurant (as well as an Italian restaurant next to it). The hotel shuttle runs from the airport and back every 30 minutes in the morning and evening (and once an hour in daytime). The ride to the hotel is FREE. But to return to the airport, you would need to reserve a seat on it at the front desk and pay 10 euros per person. All in all, it's a nice choice for a one-night stay by the airport - at a very reasonable price. Thank you, Holiday Inn Express, for providing us with a restful stay after a transatlantic flight! (One suggestion for the future: please add feather pillows to you bedding. That would make our stay even better ;-).

Budget hotel, which doesn’t currently accept new arrivals between 2300 - 0600hrs!! Not great for a airport hotel as we arrived on a late flight and was going to be turned away at 2315hrs by staff. Thankfully we managed to convince the staff to let us in or we would have been sleeping in the car. This information about their arrival check-in times isn’t posted on their webpage or made aware when you book a room!! Disappointing indeed. Room wasn’t of a very good standard either. Bedding didn’t fit the duvet and the duvet was a disgusting yellow colour (see picture). Definitely one to mark and avoid in the future for us. I would suggest to others to seek alternative better accommodation in Frankfurt.

I have now stayed at this hotel many times over the last two years. The hotel has very nice rooms and the staff are extremely helpful I have booked group business lunches at the hotel restaurant, and they have been very good

The room is big and clean, it’s also very quiet even it’s near the airport, I really had a very good experience here. It’s a perfect choice to stay here!
