9 Day Wonderful Stay in Gießen, Germany.

The hotel was amazing, great location, accessible to a bus line and amazing neighborhood grocery store, and local restaurants. The hotel was extremely clean, the breakfast was amazing with a variety of food options each day. I am vegetarian and the food was fresh. Most importantly all of the staff was remarkable and the cost was reasonable. I would strongly recommend this hotel if you are in the Gießen area.

Overall a nice stay.

Room smelled a bit of cigarettes and it had numerous signs of ware and tare. Other than that the hotel building it self looked bit run down. On the flip side everything was clean and very comfortable beds made up for couple bad points. Very nice breakfast bar also did make up for bit of smells 😁

Lovely hotel

This was a lovely hotel for our family vacation. There is no air conditioning so keep that in mind when booking. The room was clean, the staff was friendly, and the breakfast was more than enough to get you started for the day.

Ok

I stayed with a colleague for a congress in Giessen, the room was smaller than expected, it should have been 40 m2, however this must have included the balcony. Furniture pretty old. Bathroom extremely small. The double bed upstairs to be reached over very steep and small steps. Overall ok, but I wouldn t turn back.

The hotel was very clean and centrally located. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was excellent. Value for price was very good. We had a triple room with a loft and very nice balcony - a very nice treat to sit outside in the cool September weather. The hotle is close to the bus route (just across the street). They allowed us a rather late check-out the day we left. I will certainly stay there again on my next trip.
