Having read some of the other reviews I wonder whether we stayed at the same hotel.Although the bedroom carpets could do with a good clean everything else was spotless.The bed was clean and comfortable,the ensuite clean.The dining room was spotless and breakfast was more than adequate.The position townwise is good with buses right outside for transport.A taxi rank was within a hundred yards as was the station.We found the staff very friendly and helpful,especially the owner who worked hard and helped us whenever needed [I am in a wheelchair].I would not hesitate to recommend this hotel to others and will certainly stay there again.

This hotel is okay if you're just looking for somewhere to spend one night, but I wouldn't recommend a longer stay. The young receptionist was not particularly friendly and spoke no English. There is no bar although drinks are available in the lobby.

Our room was clean and quite nicely decorated, if a little out-of-date. However, the public areas suffer from the lack of an overall concept. The lobby area is furnished in a country style; reception has an antique look about it and the breakfast room is in the style of a British seaside hotel circa 1970. Breakfast itself was okay, but I've eaten much better in other establishments. The rooms have no air-conditioning, but you would suffer from traffic noise if you opened a window and ours wouldn't stay open anyway, because of the way the curtains had been hung.

You would not want to use this hotel as a base for visiting the historic old town although it is not too far from the very interesting church of St Elizabeth. The main issue, however, is the underground carpark. The entrance is extremely narrow and only suitable for small cars. There are no individual parking spaces and late arrivals block the early ones in. Usually in these circumstances, reception keep the keys so that they can move cars to let someone out if necessary. We were not asked to leave ours, but we were awakened by a phone call at 0730 asking us to put the keys outside the room door so that they could move our car. This is not a very sensible way to operate a hotel. The parking places in front of the hotel are for residents only (with permit displayed) so there is no alternative to using the garage.

Do not stay here--overpriced, bizarrely decorated, dirty and shabby, served up with poor breakfast and insufferable management. I could not recommend this hotel to anyone, even though there seems to be a dearth of affordable and adequate hotel accommodations in Marburg. It turned out that there was practically noone else staying in this place, and instead of booking over the internet I should have (if I was determined to stay here) simply walked up and bargained for a rate. This place is seedy, shabby, dirty, and prevaded with the smell of cigarette smoke. The decor is about 20-30 years out of date and not well maintained. The bathrooms were the best thing about the place because they are relatively new and relatively clean, though still nothing above average; also, the glasses in the bathroom had not been washed properly and contained white residue at the bottom. The woman manager (owner?) is one of the most unpleasant and downright unfriendly people I've ever run across in a hotel. We booked largely because the hotel advertises internet access, but were given one of two rooms (if management is to be believed) that didn't have internet access. We asked to be moved (so that we could have the privilege of paying an extra charge for the internet) and we were, but only with the grumpy and rude concurrence of this woman.
The carpeting in both the rooms we occupied was dirty and needed a good shampooing. The upholstery of the bizarre furniture also needed cleaning. The breakfast was atrocious, with plates languishing with one slice of meat for extended periods, in what I assumed was an attempt to deter people from eating more. The orange juice dispenser was empty and never was filled. There were a couple of open packages of stale Wasa bread, some plain stale rolls, whole tomatoes, and sad looking cheese slices and cereals. The woman manager was extremely reluctant to refill my tiny coffee pot and practically dropped the pot on my table when she deigned to refill it. The dank and cramped parking lot is a joke--almost impossible to get our little car into the space and even though this strange woman was herself controlling the door to let us in and out, the door closed prematurely both when we were entering and when we were leaving. I didn't know, since we arrived near dark, that there was public parking across the street, or I would have parked there and saved eight euros. The place is a stone's through from an expressway and is quiet if you keep the double windows closed, but if you want ventilation and use the wooden sticks(!) that were lying on the window sills to prop the windows open, you get all the traffic noise.
On top of all this, Marburg itself is really not worth the detour.

Stayed three nights, on par with most little hotels. True, the halls were occasionally noisy but considering its location on busy intersection, it was soundproof to the outdoors. Great spotless new bathrooms! Clean throughout, the included breakfast was stellar, and the management helpful, courtesy, friendly, even waiting breakfast one morning for us. Excellent location close to dining, dessert, and train. Parking no more difficult than any Eurpopean city hotel, b ut we used public parking right in front of hotel. My son teaches at Marburg, and surveyed other hotels for us, settling on this one, ten minutes from everything but a minute from the trainstation, bakeries, and donar places for a quick sandwich.. Wouldn't change a thing., and an exceelent value for 80E double.
