My husband and I stayed here for 2 weeks while visiting family in Germany and we were so impressed…read morewith what we got for the price we paid. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. The room was always clean and the shower was spacious. Yes, it's a bit noisy of a location, but that was expected given the proximity to the city center and after the first night or two we were used to the noise. The only thing we wish we could change would be to have the ability to adjust the room temperature. The only way to make the room cooler was to open the window which sometimes led to the room being too cold given we were traveling in December and January. Overall, extremely happy with our stay!

I used this hotel during a business journey. For this it is suitable. It is clean, the staff is…read morefriendly and you get a good breakfast. But there is nothing special that would justify 5 stars. I reduced the rating by another star because of the special Charme of the bathroom. The walls are fully covered with plastic. Therefore it seems like something as in mobile homes, trains or airplanes. It is clean, no question, but not very comfortable.

Since we found our make-over event princess for one day in 2004, we have been a regular at this…read morereally really nice hotel. I do not expect any of "our event locations" to roll out a red carpet for us. However, if they do for our customers who come to have a great time, it's appreciated. If the hotel understands that other than classic trade events we do not fly in participants from all over the world but host guests from their immediate neighborhood (= perfect targets to make them regulars for Sunday​ brunches and stuff ;-), even better. So for years, we had a great time, last under general manager Stefan Schwind, who made our mutual customer feel loved and special every time we can. Then, after Mr.​ Schwind's​ departure, sadly everything was a problem. When in our after event survey the hotel got really really bad ratings, we moved on. We tried to discuss the issue, no one really cared. A shame really, as our event is part of an entertainment group that spends millions in hotels per year.

Beautiful hotel!!! Love the staff and environment. My friend and I needed a place for the night and…read morethey were great. They speak great English and are courteous. Can't wait to plan another stay!! Bringing whole family back next time.

Wonderful experience staying here! Our room was typically German (smaller than American sized but…read morestill comfortable). Uber clean hotel! Breakfast is included with the room (European & American style foods), if you walk away still hungry-it's your fault! No air conditioning but the windows open up German style on the top & you can cool off that way. Best of all, this hotel included the use of their green "hotel" bikes to explore the many fine bike routes in the area! Close to the riverwalk area. Many radlers (bicyclists) use this spot when travelling long distances. Excellent service (English is spoken here as well as many other languages by the staff)

Business relations recommended me this hotel since it is supported to be the best in Darmstadt…read more Without having seen the others, this is probably true. It's located between the city center and the university campus. It is a real business hotel with conferencing facilities and a large underground parking garage. The rooms are nice, equipped with good beds and a powerful shower. The WiFi is at par. The breakfast is rich and plentiful, but also quite expensive. For a business stay the maximum score: 5/5. For leisure I would go somewhere else.

Acctually WHD deseves a very strong 3-star. Compared to other German smoke-smelling hotels, WHD is…read morea clean dream but there are still some (wifi) to wish for. The staff is always attentive, polite and service minded. Newly build hotel and very clean over all. The breakfast is very good and I like sitting in that light restaurant in the morning overlooking the park. The rooms are over all very nice and you get free toiletries. If you order room service you will get charged a 4 Euro service charge for them to bring up your food. There is a very small Fitness room with one treadmill (which you are not allowed to use before 8 in the morning), one cross trainer and two different types of bikes. The machines seems older than the hotel and are loud and run down. The fitness room does not open until 7.00 AM so forget working out in the morning if you are here on business. My biggest complaint is that there is no free wifi in this hotel. It seems very unusual in Germany as a whole to find free wifi for some strange reason considering both France and Spain seems to have caught onto this and most business hotels in southern Europe now offer wifi. At WHD you will get an ethernet cable if you request it at check-in which you can use for free internet. But who wants to be tied to the desk when you have to work at night in your room? I much rather work in bed or from the armchair. And your smart phone is out of comission for your entire stay because of this. Don't know why, but the no wifi thing annoyes the heck out of me. Can't WhatsApp with friends and family at home and can't get to my Spotify account for some encouraging beats at the gym. I really don't care if I have to pay a slightly higher room charge to make this happen, just get your guests free wifi! When WHD gets free wifi I will upgrade them to a 4-star rating!
