Great place to stay

Lovely room, clean and tidy. Limited breakfast option for an Englishman, no cereals, no baked beans but that’s a ME problem not your problem.

A solid choice for a quick overnight

This is a solid choice if you are in the area. The hotel isn't cutting edge and your rooms will feel dated with few amenities but there isn't anything "wrong" with any part of the hotel. Everyone has their own preferences, admittedly. Personally, I found the bed to be uncomfortable and when I woke up in the morning I felt like I wasn't well-rested. I know that it is common in German bathrooms to have a tiny partition on the shower that barely blocks water from the shower head. I think this is an effort to improve sanitation and accessibility; in this case, it went overboard and it was almost impossible to keep water in the shower without spraying all over the bathroom. I suppose a very short person wouldn't have an issue but it was problematic for me. The breakfast but basic but it was also inexpensive (7.50 Euro per adult) and I was pleased by the huge servings of coffee and the very good bacon (hard to find in Europe at most places, good bacon). Generally speaking, this is a Good hotel. Not likely to win any big awards for being at the cutting edge but I think that's probably how most of their customers like it. I wouldn't have a problem staying here again.

Gammelt slidt hotel

Faciliteterne var gamle og meget slidte. Morgenmadsbuffeten var næsten tom, da vi ankom en halv time før lukketid. Personalet virkede uinteresseret og en smule uvenligt. Næste gang vi besøger området, vil vi helt sikkert finde et andet sted at bo.

Die Unterkunft kommt mit dem Charme eines Altenheims daher. Gut ist die große Parkplatzfläche vor dem Hotel, die Küche konnte während meines Aufenthaltes die Preise nicht rechtfertigen. Sauna konnte ich nicht ausprobieren. In Summe ein sauberes aber arg i die Jahre gekommenes Hotel...

Rolig, fint hotell

Fine store rom. Vi var 3 familier som hadde kjørt fra Kiel i 3 biler. Deilig etter en lang kjøretur å kunne sitte og spise ute på terassen. Veldig glad for at vi valgte dette hotellet og ikke et inne i Kassel sentrum. Følte bilene stod trygt. Lett å finne frem til hotellet. God frokost.

icht zu empfehlen- Autobahnhotel!!

Unfreundliches und selbstgefälliges Management! Überteuertes Hotel mit Unqualifizierten Rezeptionsmitarbeiter , die unterschiedliche Auskunft geben über die vorgenommene Buchung( beim Einchecken wird gesagt, dass der Preis mit Frühstück ist- beim auschecken aber das Frühstück dann zu bezahlen ist!!!) Ein Hotel das in die Jahre gekommen ist , dringend einer Überholung zum heutigen Standart benötigt , an der Autobahn liegt , aber Preise hat wie in Paris! Definitiv nicht zu empfehlen für diesen Preis!!
