    The room was clean and well-equipped. The hotel is right next to the station "Kassel-Wilhelmshöhe" and thus optimal for travelers. Staff was very friendly.

    Very cosy and charming hotel, as close to the railway station as you can get. Perfect in a cold winter day together with the little wine bar in the reception area. The room was spacious and the bed was very comfortable with a warm duvet.
