Parkhotel Bad Homburg

It's not a 4 star hotel. It's a family run hotel that has suffered due to the Covid pandemic. But so have many other hotels and they have bounched back. This one hasn't. Reception: Ok when checking in. Not Ok when checking out. I was asked to pay again despite having prepaid via hotels.com. Breakfast room: Closed. €14 pp to have a cold breakfast delivered to our door. Or get up and get washed and walk 5mins to Louisenstraße and chose the breakfast you really want. Loads of breakfast restuarants. For the same price. Restaurant/Bar: Closed If I'd know this in advance I never would have booked. Room: Spacious and a fantastic renovated bathroom. But the room was dated and dirty. Stains on the carpet. I put my black wallet on the balcony table and then picked it up nearly white. Covered in dust. Housekeeping: None existent. Which probably explains the dirt. Service: There is no service. No staff. Except the receptionists. No in-room coffee/tea making facilties. You have to go to the lobby and pay €2.50 to make your own cup of tea/coffee and €4.50 to take a beer out of the lobby fridge! Edeka is 2mins around the corner where you can buy the same beer for €0.90. Location: It's a fantastic location. Very quiet at night. 5mins from Louisenstraße (main street) and a beautiful, historical park to walk around during the day. It's 100% not a 4 star hotel. It's just a bed for the night. Nothing else. And I'm sure I'll find it cheaper elsewhere.
