Kastens Hotel

Excellent hotel, with a unique and quirky character. Excellent service from the staff, lovely rooms, and good breakfast. Location is slightly out of the way, but well located for the Mediahafen. We were visiting for the Rheinkirmes, and for that the location is very convenient.

Nice hotel with good breakfast buffet and large room. The shower was good and plenty of towels.

I had room 620, which is the one in the pictures with the large windows. Which is on the top floor and directly faces the sun all afternoon and evening. The room has no air conditioning and no air flow. The curtains do not fit and do not block the sun. It was like a sauna. I asked for a fan and was told there was not one. Too hot to sleep until after 1am, then sun streaming in through the badly fitting curtains at 5 to wake you up again. A terrible stay and a place not to ever go back to.

Perfect place to stay for a solo business traveler. Tidy enough, good bathroom, accommodating staff. I did like having the breakfast included. The area was very quiet, but easy enough to get around with the tram stopping just outside the hotel, but if a bit later, not to far to walk from the underground. The area is quite good, and very safe. Please note the wifi was slow, but adequate.

The hotel is comfortably placed in a near to center area with a tram just outside the door. However the hotel it self presents its self as a 4 star hotel which is 1.5 too much for the level of the facilities and the level of room cleaning and servicing. Personally I will avoid future visits to this hotel and recomand others to do the same.
