I stayed at this hotel in March while on a business trip to Germany. I was impressed by this hotel, particularly the location adjacent to the main DB train station for Kassel. The reception staff were welcoming and spoke excellent English (which helped given my very limited German). The room I stayed in was very big and very clean. The... More

An elegant property, nice staff and it's centrally located. Its restaurants are fabulous and the food is delicious. Only draw back in restaurant is drinking water is provided only on request! However, this in no way affect the quality of food you get. Hotel has a nice pool and calm atmosphere.

Together with five colleagues, I stayed for one night at this comfortable and friendly hotel. My room (No. 11) was large and warm (during a period of sub-zero temperatures). The room was overlooking the main street & I feared noise. However, apart from the rumbling of the trams, it was quiet and conducive to a good night's sleep. The hotel... More

The hotel is situated right next to the train station Wilhelmshoehe and is very well connected to the city centre with public transport. They actually give a free ticket for public transport for the length of the stay. The staff at the reception is very friendly and helpful. It was also possible to purchase the documenta tickets directly from them... More

Stayed here when I visited Documenta 2012, ideally situated by the train station and tram stop. 10 minute by tram to the centre of Kassel. Hotel clean and has good facilities inc free wi fi. Staff very efficient, helpful and friendly.

As others have commented, the hotel is a bit tired and dated. It offers the essentials and is convenient to the main train station. I was here for documenta so hadn't been to Kassel. In hindsight to enjoy documenta, you probably need to be in the city centre. So the good things about the hotel, is convenient to station, very... More

The hotel is too expensive (€112 per double) for what it offers. Rooms are rather large, but also oldish. Breakfast (not included) offers all the essentials, but is very far from the variety that can be usually found in the German hotels. I would have given it 3 stars if not for their free wifi and a nice bar/restaurant where... More

After 12 hours in the car, we were very happy to arrive at the hotel. The lady in the reception was incredibly service-minded and made us forget how exhausted we were. The kids were thirsty and suddenly there were fresh water and candies available. What a wonderful welcome. The room is very nice and they even have free internet and... More
