HOTEL BOCKSHAUT

The hotel is well located near Darmstadt main square and shopping streets. The rooms and buildings were a bit outdated, the elevator was broken in the side building where my room was located. Very small shower, I could hear noises from the other guests and from the street. Staff was friendly and breakfast was nice. Overall my stay was ok but I didn't rest much in the end.

The hotel is located in the pedestrian zone and is a 5 minute walk to TU Darmstadt and the "darmstadium" congress center. The restaurant in the garden is nice and pleasant. Unfortunately, the hotel facilities are lacking - the elevator is (permanently?) out of order, the showers were cold (no hot water for me one morning and my colleague in his room had the same), the single rooms are extremely small, the double rooms are slightly better, and the ambiance is noisy (right in town with noisy neighboring businesses and barking dogs) and the breakfast was less nice than many I experienced elsewhere. The people were nice and aimed to please but I would not recommend the hotel nor would I stay here again.

The hotel has very friendly staff and are quite helpful, especially Mr. Hollis. The rooms are simple with a german rustic touch, especially in the top floors where the old wooden structures are visible. A good deal for the price - try the Wiener Schnitzel with Spaetzle!
