My stay at the hotel was quite pleasant overall. The rooms, though a bit lacking in natural light and ventilation as they were in the basement, were exceptionally clean, modern, and comfortable. I particularly appreciated having two AC units in the room. The service was friendly and courteous, despite initial skepticism about bringing my dog. The location, in the heart of Gelnhausen with nearby dining options, was convenient but slightly challenging to find at night. The dining experience, while offering self-serve cold meats and cereal/toast, was somewhat meager. The facilities provided were satisfactory.

The hotel is situated in a lovely part of Gelnhausen, right in the center with convenient parking and dining options nearby. The rooms, although in a basement with limited light and ventilation, have an old-style charm. The service was subpar upon arrival, especially regarding our dog, and the staff during check-out appeared skeptical. The dining experience was basic but satisfactory, offering cold meats and cereal/toast. The hotel facilities are adequate for a short stay, though improvements could be made.

I had a wonderful stay at the hotel, located right in Gelnhausen in a building with half board. The rooms were clean and comfortable, and the staff was very friendly and accommodating. The dining experience was good, although a bit meager. The location was fantastic, situated in the old town square with great restaurants and an excellent bakery nearby.

I had a lovely stay at this hotel with some highs and lows. The rooms were spacious and well-appointed, perfect for my wife's food allergies. The service was friendly and accommodating, although initially skeptical about our dog. The location was unbeatable, right in the heart of the old town square. The dining experience was satisfactory but could be more varied. Overall, a great value for money option for a memorable stay.

The hotel offered a mix of positives and negatives. The location was great, right in the heart of Gelnhausen with convenient parking and dining options nearby. However, the room given as an alternative to the booked apartment lacked proper ventilation and was next to a noisy area. The service from the owner was friendly and accommodating during my family event stay.

The room provided as an alternative to the booked apartment was in a pretty moist basement without adequate light or ventilation. It was hot inside, and the open window faced a noisy area where smokers and drinkers gathered outside.

Staying in a pretty moist basement room with no natural light or ventilation for a week-long booking was not ideal, but having two AC units in the room was a relief. Although initially expecting an apartment, the room served its purpose adequately.

The hotel offers modern and comfortable rooms, but the hot room location above the restaurant was a downside. The staff was eager to please but had some skepticism about accommodating pets. The location in the beautiful center of Gelnhausen was perfect for exploring, though it could be tricky to find at night. The dining options were described as quite nice but a bit meager. The facilities were rated high for being clean, friendly staff, and in a great location, with a few areas for improvement.

Staying at this hotel was a real treat! The room had two AC units, which was a pleasant surprise. Being in a perfect location right in the heart of Gelnhausen with convenient cooking facilities, all for a great price, made my stay even better. The only downside was the slightly unfriendly welcome after a long day of travel.

I was pleasantly surprised by this lovely hotel. The location was perfect, right in the heart of Gelnhausen close to some great restaurants and a fantastic bakery. The rooms were equipped with not just one but two AC units, making my stay very comfortable. However, I did have a mixed experience with the service, as some staff members were not very friendly upon my arrival after a long journey, but others were extremely accommodating. The dining was satisfactory, offering good German standard meals at the right rate. The facilities were adequate, but a bit meager in some aspects.
