Parkhotel am Taunus

4 starts average ONLY for the convenient location for us. We stayed in the apartment building side of the hotel. I choose to stay here due to its proximity to FIS (international school) where my son was spending 3 days visiting his former classmates and teachers. I don’t know what standards other travelers have but this hotel is in serious need of a total refurbish. Rooms are dull & dark, carpets are dirty and what it’s the biggest problem it lacks of climate control. We just checked out yesterday a day earlier than what I had originally reserved for because we couldn’t sleep as the room was extremely hot. I have a hard time giving bad reviews as it might impact someone’s job but the experience left much to be desired. Room had a damp feeling and the dated furniture has dark spots all over.
I can’t say much on the personnel as you encounter more or less the same inexpressive people all around and I have no problem with that. But paying for a room like looks like an old motel room out of an horror movie it was not what I expected. There was a dead bird on the balcony on our floor not our room and it was never removed. It seems they don’t clean the common areas as often as they should. Breakfast for 18€ per person seems a bit high but you have the option not to take it so I went to the supermarket and bought what we needed and cooked in the kitchenette.
Building is located in a beautiful remote location with accesible public transportation but it’s convenient to have a car. There are a couple of restaurants nearby and an Edeka supermarket. Wifi as others have stated is poor. So if you are planning on working while staying make sure you address this with the front desk or call in advance prior to making the reservation. Overall it served its purpose this time but I won’t be staying here again. Try the Dorint a few miles down the road, you’ll thank me later.
