Top 10 Oberwaldhaus Hotels

At 100 hotel nights per year, a hotel must be highlighted especially so I take the time to review. The Jungstil Hotel in Darmstadt has managed to do so. However, because it is the worst hotel I ever had in Germany. And that is with 4 stars. But only once in the row that I experienced this week there: Check-in: The reception is only occupied hours. Really now? At a 4 star house and a room price of €148.00 per night. But fortunately I travel at a time when the reception is occupied. Well, it should be at least 17.45 lt. hang at the entrance door. Unfortunately the door to the hotel does not open. Nobody there. But fortunately there is the check-in machines next to the door. This also finds my reservation. Good! Unfortunately, too early. Because despite confirmed reservation, I will only be asked for a credit card which the machine rejects in the next step. Do nothing: I have 3.5 minutes later I'm unravelable, since the machine rejects every card. Spoiler Alarm: as I know at checkout next morning, the credit card request should not have come at all when confirmed reservations. I find a sign on the hotel door that is pointed to a 24x7 accessibility call number, traveling at a time when the reception is not occupied. Now everything will be fine! I thought: shipping to a mobile box without an advertisement. However, leave a message in the hope, but still to come to my room. I could have saved myself. I'm still waiting for the call today. Fortunately, after some time, a already check-in hotel guest with key card comes. After him I'm sleeping into the hotel lobby. And see, there is a key card with my name on the tressen. So I have room 246. Ph, Check-in would have been done. Wi-Fi: Finally on the room, quickly select Wi-Fi to make the last WebEx session with a customer. But stop: I couldn't tell me how to get to the password protected hotel Wi-Fi. There was nobody at the reception. But you're professional: Username and password are certainly some combination of my name and the room number. There is a lot missing. After some time I find a book with the information about the hotel. It also describes how to get into the Wi-Fi. It's just a pity I need to get down to the lobby to print a ticket on a printer available there. So drag, down, print again and then finally log in to the Wi-Fi. Room status: At first sight everything is okay. After at least this. But when I make my bed, and put the cleanly stoned heads on the headpart side, I will quickly get to know what to do that tower. He should cover the quite broken headpart. See photo. Sit, six! Breakfast: The small hotel Buchlein had already been with Wi-Fi

Over the years I have visited Darmstadt several times and never stayed in such a nice hotel in the city. Welcome Hotel is a 5 minute walk from city centre, 15 minute walk from TUD and 25 minute walk from the train station. Great location, wonderful garden view, a rich breakfast as well as a nice Bistro and a friendly service. Note, however, that the hotel is very strict with C/I time.

Very nice located country house hotel. Nicely decorated rooms with modern and functional interior. However the unique selling point, were food and beverage, providing outstanding quality. We had a five course dinner which really exceeded our expectations, especially the lamb was fantastic. The breakfast buffet next morning was also outstanding, as mainly regional products were served. The variety on bread, juices and sausage was above average. Also sparkling wine was served which made the start of the day real easy 😊 If going to Darmstadt you should definitely stay at Jagdschloss Kranichstein!

I had a clean spacious room, with a decent sized bathroom (not large, but not cramped either), the hotel is simple but a very good value. The staff were all very friendly, I requested an allergy free room and it was no problem. The location is one block from the pedestrian shopping zone, and a few blocks from the major museums (which are terrific, and not crowded) I was there mostly to visit the architectural gems of Mathildenhöhe, and also the gardens. All were within pleasant walking distance of the hotel. There is an elevator up to the hotel reception, and it is set behind the front street facade, which contributed to a quiet place to stay. There is a no fuss buffet breakfast, and a lounge area if you like. Altogether a good place to stay in Darmstadt.

On my job trip I happened by chance in the restaurant of this hotel. What to say ... What a luck! A second plate with soft calf liver and delicate taste, very good potatoes (no, it is not foreseen, even if the average level is always high), excellent crepes with superlative ice cream. The staff were kind and not invading and did not try to sell any more on added, they advised me not to take the meal in view of the abundance of the dry do. I'd certainly be a place where I would be more than happy to return.

Der Service und das Personal am Frontdesk ist eine absolute Katastrophe. Von unfreundlicher Begrüßung, keine Ahnung haben vom eigenen Buchungssystem, bis hin zu einem Rauswurf aus unserem gebuchten Besprechungsraum war alles dabei. Der Ton ist hier rau und unprofessionell. Die Mitarbeiter unfähig, mürrisch, absolut ohne Krisenmanagement oder Schulungen, Führung und Management wohl nicht vorhanden .. zumiindest bis heute keine Reaktion. Auch die Rückerstattung der Kosten ist bisher nicht erfolgt. Oder eine Reaktion auf meine Email, außer ein Hinhalten von einem freundlichen Mitarbeiter. Der Gast ist hier zumindest gar nichts wert, geschweige denn ein König. Durch und durch absolutes Versagen an Service und Dienstleitung. Kann nur jedem von diesem Hotel abraten. Das Hotel selbst ist sehr hübsch eingerichtet, aber die stylische Austattung kann leider nicht über das Desaster an Mitarbeitern hinweghelfen. Ich würde das Hotel weder geschäftlich noch privat jemals weiterempfehlen.

Convenient location, not far from the Highway, which was why we chose it, because it was on they way on a longer trip. Comfortable quiet room, when the windows are closed. There is a busy street outside. Offers A/C, which is nice in the summer heat. Really good breakfast bar made this a superb value. Close to good eating places for dinner, we tried the Ethiopian restaurant Yetenbi which we can highly recommend as well.

Der Service war eine Katastrophe Beim Einchecken erfuhr ich auf Nachfrage, dass der Wellness-Bereich geschossen ist. Auf meine Frage nach einer Alternativen bekam ich die Antwort “Fragen sie doch im nahe gelegenen MARITIM“. Hätte ich das doch gemacht und umgebucht... Denn mein Zimmer wurde nicht gereinigt. Als ich dies reklamierte, sagte die Rezeption mir, das sie niemanden mehr zum reinigen hätten und bot mir an, dass ich umziehen könne. Natürlich ohne Hilfe. Man schaute sich auch mein Zimmer an und meinte “ Da habe ich schon schlimmeres gesehen“.... Mit verschlug dies die Sprache. Auch das Frühstück ist im Vergleich zu früher viel schlechter geworden. Schade um das Hotel.

Overall, it's a good, modern hotel with the usual features. The only negative is the rooms are small, which is unfortunately typical of European hotels. What makes the Holiday Inn Express outstanding is the staff. We dealt with Jessica and Alex, both of whom provided a lot of help. We don't speak German, so their assistance with getting cabs, making restaurant reservations, and getting a sim card working in our phone was invaluable.

Darmstadt is very well connected for transit stays in and our of Frankfurt airport. In addition to the train, there is a shuttle bus which goes to and from the airport every half hour. The Maritim Darmstadt has been my hotel of choice as the base hotel for all my recent visits to Europe. it is well priced, clean and the staff is very helpful. I would specially mention reception staff of Sonya, trainee Cassandra and Manager Barbara. I stayed three times during the last month and each time for two nights. Very convenient especially if you have flights in and out of Frankfurt airport.
