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.

Nice big comfortable room
Place is a little old/tired but had everything we needed and it was a big comfortable room. We checked in using the out of hours self-check in, which was easy to do. Whenever we saw staff at reception, they were very friendly and helpful. Good location, short walk to Schwanenteich parkrun, 2 x supermarkets, town Centre etc.

Fint rom med et lite kjøkken og balkong. Parkeringsgarasje. Sentralt.veldig bra!
Die Organisation von Rezeption, Zimmer und Speiseraum fand ich sehr überschaubar für einen Gast!
Die Einrichtung des Speiserraums ist sehr geschmackvoll.

Die Flure sind zu laut, schon durch die Benutzung von Schlüsseln und Gespäche im Flur werden nicht gedämpft. Auch fehlen im Zimmer Verdunklungsgardinen. Die Tiefgarage ist mit vielen Säulen ausgestattet die das einparken zu einer großen Herausforderung machen.

Een driepersoonskamer was gereserveerd , deze was gewenst ivm een apart bed. Een kamer met tweepersoonsbed werd gegeven en de handdoeken en beddengoed was voor 1 persoon dus beslist niet zoals geadverteerd. Slechte service dus.
