    Pros +

    • Cleanliness was very good and the staff was helpful. Good location.
    • Close to the centre and railway station.
    • It does not rain on you…

    Cons -

    • Price was a little bit higher.
    • Furniture from the last century.Plumbing is leaking. Dirty. Bathroom and floors are dirty on arrival and you may find foreign hair. No one has clean out for 5 days. At the bottom at about 11 o'clock the Vietnamese are tidying the restaurant and howling. Terrible order, you have to leave the key with the receptionist when you leave the hotel. Breakfast is minimal, egs, bread, chease, curry, yoghurt, definitely not worth paying 15 euros.

    The location was perfect! About 3 minute walk to the train station. It's definitely a clean and great location. The room was cozy and perfect for one person!

    6PaulPosted on: 12-20-2023

    Nice staff. Decent price, comparatively.

    On a smoggy, loud street.

    7nishantPosted on: 11-16-2023

    Location is not efficient since railway station is not the main one , the main railway station for Kassel is Kassel Wilhelmschoe and that is not walking distance from Hote Excelssior

    7JohannaPosted on: 6-18-2023

    The decor was very nice in the room and foyer. Staff very pleasant.

    Bedside lamp was a little tricky to get on/off.

    6AnthonyPosted on: 5-1-2023

    Location close to station was fine.Receptionist was very helpful with check-in arrangements.Comfortable night's sleep and reliable wifi.

    Over complicated check-in arrangementsRoom rather gloomy and drabOverall decor and atmosphere of hotel could do with some TLCI arrived mid-evening as it was getting dark. There was some quite rowdy behaviour nearby - nothing threating but enough to make me feel a bit uneasy (but the hotel itself was perfectly secure).

    7PaulPosted on: 9-12-2022

    The staff where great and very accommodating. Breakfast was fantastic and I particularly liked the timeless interior of the hotel! Room was very comfortable and clean.

    The room interiors were little bleak and functional, but this wasn’t an issue for me.

    3RachaelPosted on: 8-1-2022

    Hotel was clean.Beds comfortable.Small but effective shower. Just a shame about the location.

    Location very poor. Barbed wire across window ledge, a large rat running across carpark, strip joint across the road. Very loud party going on in nearby building through the night (kept window open because of the heat). No kettle in room.A little dated.

    7okkyungPosted on: 7-10-2022

    The location was excellent and the staff were extremely helpful. Also even though with Documenta, the price was extremely reasonable!

    The room was directly facing at another building and it could be problematic if you want 100% privacy but it didn't bother me too much.

    7IvanPosted on: 6-9-2022

    Really clean - linen, room by it self, bathroom. Nice personal. Breakfast choice was comparatively small, but tasty.

    Room comparatively small and because there is no ventilation, air is heavy.

    8RamsiPosted on: 5-10-2022

    The Elevator brings comfort, the door key just worked fine. For this Price i can recommend this place fully with friendly staff. I did not try the breakfast, just bought two bottles soda at the reception

    There is not much that i did not like but the water was not so cold that i could drink it from the tab. You can not open the windows fully because its prohibited by a letter. no smoking.

    7MudlarkPosted on: 5-4-2022

    Friendly staff, good location close to the Haupbahnhof. Quiet, generally comfortable room.

    Shower door was nowhere near watertight, leaving bathroom floor awash with water. Limited toiletries supplied - two tiny bottles of shampoo/shower gel to deal with all needs. Room overpriced for what it was, and considerably more expensive than on previous visits.

    7ZizicPosted on: 4-12-2022

    Good location and easy access.

    Wearing mask was required only by hotel rules but unfortunately hotel is not offering any at the entrance.

    8JuvariaPosted on: 10-6-2021

    Excellent location and I felt very safe because the hotel staff was all women.

    Not very Instagrammable.

    I had to leave earlier than I had paid for the accommodation. I hope for a discount next time.
