Hotel Jagdschloss Kranichstein

This is a gem on the outskirts of Darmstadt Germany. I was very early for check-in and even though my room was not ready they worked hard to clean it up and get me into it as soon as possible. I only waited about an hour which was not bad seeing as I was very early.||The front desk staff and the staff in the Bistro are all very lovely. I went for drinks at night and they were very good and fairly priced. The rooms were quite large and comfortable.||Another huge plus is the amount of trails around the hotel for walking, jogging, bicycle riding, etc. I very much enjoyed the outdoor around the hotel and it was quite beautiful! ||The restaurant at the hotel was wonderful as well and I do not know why its not listed in Yelp or other restaurant guides. They have seasonal specialties and I had the Pumpkin soup and the Venison steak with he Lemon sorbet for desert. All the food was fabulous.||I want to thank the staff at the hotel for a wonderful few days, I will certainly stay here next time I come to Germany.

One of the nicest and important places to visit when in Darmstadt. It's like going back in time. Service is friendly and helpful.

Nice hotel in the outskirts of Darmstadt This is one of the really nice options if you coming to Darmstadt. I stayed in most hotel in this town and this is one of the best compared to Maritim, etc. The room was really nice and so was the food. The staff was also welcoming, so all in all a strong recommendation from me. I would definitely use this hotel again.

This property is the ultimate stay! Although we booked it for business, we felt like we were whisked away. The rooms are spacious, the beds and pillows are comfortable and the property surroundings are so relaxing. The service and food were incredible and they went above and beyond to make our stay comfortable.

I've stayed at this hotel before and the rooms are nice, good food and friendly staff. But I won't be staying in future.||I was put in "The Annexe" which I thought was across a courtyard from the main hotel building, however I was to be rudely awakened. It is in a completely different location to the hotel. In fact it's a 10-15 min walk out of the hotel grounds, down a dark busy road then along a dark unlit lane. The building was unlit except for a sole light above the door. On entering, it was like a dark abandoned building, no reception or staff, sparsely lit and only a staircase to get to a handful of rooms. It was like some kind of scary movie. The room was tiny, about the size of our utility room at home. I felt extremely unsafe. This certainly isn't 4 star. Walking down a busy road for breakfast and back to the room is not expected when having to get up early for work meetings.||There should be a warning when booking these rooms. It is mentioned deep on the website when looking into individual rooms, but when booking a 4* business hotel it's not something anyone would lookout for.||Very disappointing, needless to say I swiftly found somewhere else to stay.

A beautiful hotel in an idelicious area. Great to calm down after a hard day. I heartily recommend it!

The hotel staff is above the rest. Always a pleasant greeting, knowledgeable on the area, and not just willing , but wanting to assist. We were at the end of our 3 month vacation and visiting friends in the area and decided to try the Jagdschloss. The rooms is larger than normal hotel rooms and the bed is very clean and comfortable. The staff was helpful in unloading and loading our bags. There is a space near the front door to temporarily park for this purpose. It is a beautiful hotel and the grounds are relaxing to tour or to look at the wildlife. We will return for another visit in the near future. Thank you for your hospitality!

Outstanding place to stay staffed by very courteous, helpful people. Beautiful historic location. We walked for hours on peaceful forest trails nearby. Walking distance to nature museum, historical hunting museum, and an easy drive to Messel Pit, Frankenstein Castle ruins, downtown Darmstadt, Wedding Tower, Russian Chapel, Rose Garden, and shopping. On-site restaurant dinner was excellent, and breakfast was the best we experienced in Germany. Room was more spacious than other hotels. Free parking above ground. A great place to unwind. Good choice for business retreats.

The hotel is beautiful. It was immaculate and prettily decorated for the holidays. Because the restaurant was closed for renovations, the menu was a bit limited, but everyone was professional, friendly and helpful. The mattresses could be a bit more comfortable. Overall, it was a wonderful stay. I would definitely stay again.
