Hotels Near Eisenbahnmuseum Darmstadt Kranichstein in Darmstadt

A perfect place for a family reunion: beautiful rooms, the park, the food, the forest. You can stroll, have brunch on Sunday, relax in the shade of the trees or linger in the small beer garden. We were looking for a place where our small family, who live well spread out across the globe, could meet up again. Where we could talk, eat, enjoy ourselves, walk in the forest, relax in the park, read a book or just get out of each other's way. The proximity to Frankfurt Airport is both a blessing and a curse: there are planes all day, but it's also a short journey for family members who have to travel from other continents. The rooms: beautiful, clean, well equipped. The rooms directly behind the castle are very nice, especially numbers 201 to 206, as 207 and following are at the front, towards the main building, where the kitchen can't be missed if there's a wedding on Saturday evening. All the other rooms: perfect. And if you want even more peace and quiet: in the armoury, a beautiful, huge, solid natural stone building from ancient times, just a few minutes' walk through the forest, you will find the quietest rooms in the middle of the forest. For dog lovers: you can bring them with you. And they are well integrated: when we arrived there were two dog blankets on the floor, two ceramic feeding bowls, and we were not the only ones with dogs. The surrounding forest means you are immediately surrounded by greenery, even at night when a dog needs to go out. For non-dog lovers: the rooms of our dogless family members were spotlessly clean, no dog hair, no smell. The food was excellent. Breakfast is served in the main building and is as extensive as I have rarely seen: not just scrambled eggs and bacon, sausages and eggs, but also Kaiserschmarrn, various types of muesli and cereal, all kinds of bread, honeycomb honey, plus various really good types of tea, a samovar, and all kinds of coffee. I could have spent the day in the breakfast room. On Sunday there was a brunch: a huge buffet, not too much, but everything: fish, meat, vegetables, pasta, salads, desserts. Of really very good quality. There was also pleasant, very beautiful piano music, played live by a friendly pianist, just loud enough to be heard and quiet enough to have a good conversation. In the evening we had reserved a table on the terrace, and here too there was a wonderful meal, from salad with salt marsh lamb to veggie plates to fish or meat. Hotel, food, service, it was wonderful. Were there any less pleasant things? A few minor things: the main road behind the castle can be heard, but not very loudly (if you sit outside on the terrace). You can't hear it in the rooms. I've already mentioned the airplanes, but that didn't bother us at all. The rooms are easy to ventilate, but are not air-conditioned.

Everything from check-in to provision of information, getting a coffee at the bar, room, breakfast and storing the luggage over the day was excellent. The (standard) room was extraordinarily quiet during the night, the windows do a good job in keeping the boise of the street outside. The bathroom is small, but sufficient. The desk is fine for working with a laptop and/or checking papers, and the wifi works well, too. The breakfast convinces with tasty breadrolls and jam as well as fresh vegetables and fruits, the cereals are good as well. As a tea lover, I was satisfied with the selection of teas provided (even though it was just one black tea). The location of the hotelis good, too: it is in walkable distance from the train station and the city centre and close by a tram station.

I have a little story when checking. But finnal get help from the staff and check in successful. This is NOT a hotel , there is no reception.

Very pleasant clean hotel well located right next to the railway station. It’s as you would expect for Holiday Inn. The room which we asked for my top story was modern fresh, lovely linen and a lovely big bathroom. We couldn’t get the TV to work one morning morning, we were checking out so I didn’t bother. Housekeeping came every day and the toiletries in the bathroom was dove and it was lovely a real nice touch. Head disabled parking which is what I needed close to the entrance door. The service from the desk at reception was very efficient. The breakfast was a good selection, although there are no cooked breakfast available.

I've been in this hotel several times. It is not to be exposed to anything. Clean and the staff very friendly. The connection to the outdoors simply top. I'll be happy to come back at any time

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.

The hotel is good but the customer experience is terrible. On the first day they did an authorazisation transcaction much higher than my actual reservation. I cleared my bill at the check out day but the difference (approx 200 euros) is still blocked after 20 days. I have called them i have send 2 emails and nothing! Unacceptable behavior!

The best hotel is guaranteed for business, as all Darmstadt-relevant companies are right around the corner. Too far from the center for tourists. But: a great hotel with a fantastic concept. Everything looks newly renovated, and with love. Staff very helpful - 24/7. Super clean... We felt very comfortable. Breakfast service was also very good.
