Great modern hotel with excellent facilities.
Very impressed with this hotel. The room was fabulous and even though it overlooked the main railway line, once the windows were closed it was silent. Spacious with a comfortable bed and luxurious bathroom. The breakfast was excellent too. We were able to park our motorcycle free of charge undercover next to a cycle rack.
Only negatives were the young man on reception when we checked in was a little glum shall we say and lacked enthusiasm, although he was polite and professional. Everyone else was very friendly and welcoming. Hotel is very modern and does seem to attract business clientele but it is a half hour walk into the centre of Darmstadt. We found it easier to walk through the main railway station which is close by. Not sure we would revisit Darmstadt though.
