Hotel Novostar

The Novostar Hotel Kassel is located in a rather unfriendly area right on the main street with trams. At night we had to sleep with the window closed because the noise from the street and the strange people was extreme. Since the documenta Kassel took place this weekend, the double room was clearly too expensive at €120. The rooms are very small and the furnishings are reminiscent of the 80s. The bathroom with shower can also only be accessed by one person. Unfortunately, the WiFi was hardly usable. The price included breakfast, but you have to be there before 9am. Because otherwise you have to make do with the sparse rest. On Sunday we were smarter and around 8 o'clock everything was plentifully and satisfactorily served as a buffet. Check-in and check-out went smoothly and very quickly. The staff also makes a lot of effort and is very friendly. But the cleanliness of the rooms needs work. One of the two pillowcases was also dirty. If you are not traveling to an event in Kassel, you can book this hotel as a cheap overnight stay for 1-2 days.

Stayed for one night while visiting Documenta 15. Hotel only 3 stops or short walk from Friedrichsplatz, so very well located for that. Room was clean and bed comfortable. Breakfast was very reasonable for €5. Only complaint was wi-fi, which was fine in the lobby area, but didn't work in my room at all.
