feels like a new hotel, high quality fittings and fixtures, but economical in price. more like a large professional hotel, rather than a small BW franchise operator, similar leagues to a Hilton, a (new) premier inn or holiday inn. area is v. good, lots of food places within walking distance, hotel is just off the main road, may be a bit hard to find, but actually a good location as it is away from noise. convenient for walking to the darmstadtium, and the airliner shuttle (bus stop 14, terminal 1, cost 8.70EURO at time of writing oct 2018) from the airport has a bus stop about 3 mins walk from the hotel.
