“Impressive Leading Hotel near Frankfurt”

Schlosshotel Kronberg

4 of 5 stars
Germany
Apr 2, 2007
6/9 found this review helpful

I stayed at Schlosshotel Kronberg one night on March 29, 2007. The rate was 180,-- Euro tax and service included, breakfast was available for additional 21,-- Euro. Important: Do not book via Leading Hotels, the rates are always more expensive (cheapest rate was 206,-- Euro excl. breakfast), check the hotel internet site or book via ---.de.

The impressive castle of the Hessian princely house is nestled in the middle of a private park with integrated golf course and 18km away from downtown Frankfurt. The property is furnished with antiques and artwork of the Prince of Hesse, the public areas and rooms are a bit dated but overall still acceptable and clean.

The service is very good: prompt doorman service and luggage transfer at arrival, fruits and choclate in the room, free minibar, free newspaper in the morning, complimentary shoe shine overnight, turn down service and enough service staff. Even details like ice cubes in a seperate box on the table or a card with the weather forecast on the bed fullfill highest standards.

The food and beverage concept could be better : a real plus is Jimmy's bar with live piano music in a cosy atmosphere; more a minus is the overpriced hotel restaurant. The only restaurant in the hotel offers a good and reliable kitchen but is not a gourmet restaurant what the pricing will suggest: 3 course menu 58,-- Euro, 6 course menu 98,-- Euro, soups 15,-- Euro, main courses from 28,-- Euro and desserts from 14,-- Euro. Too much for a regular hotel restaurant (no michelin star/ 13 from 20 points at Gault Millau), annoying, when there are no alternatives. The main course ("Waller") was a little portion, as told solid cooked but not michelin level and not enough for a hungry business traveller.

Until november 2006 there was for many years a special indulgence menu available: 3 course menu with wine, water and coffee for 48,-- Euro. This was value for money (now you pay around 80 Euro for the same).

Tip: The sister hotel of the Hessian princely house in downtown Frankfurt ("Hessischer Hof", also member of Leading Hotels) offers at the restaurant Sevres the mentioned menu even for 34,-- Euro. The Hessischer Hof has the same service level, renovated rooms and nice interiors with antiques and also Jimmy's Bar (voted best hotel bar in Frankfurt for years and Top 10 bars in Germany), but not comparable surroundings and exteriors.

You will never forget your stay in Vicky's house. Oh, you don't know who Vicky was? Well neither did I until we stayed at her house (The Schlosshotel Kronberg). This place is so cool. They offer a tour and I highly recommend it so you can appreciate the history of the place. The rooms are very nice, see the pictures we took of our room before we messed it up. We splurged on this one Hotel during our Germany trip and it was worth it.

“Visiting Royalty”

Schlosshotel Kronberg

5 of 5 stars

8/8 found this review helpful

I'm usually not one to visit resorts. I don't relax well. But this hotel is simply the best to relax amid exquisite luxury. The staff truly makes you feel like a guest in a home instead of just a paying customer.
This was my second visit. Even on a careful budget, I have had a lovely room, beautifully appointed with luxury bath items and a well-stocked mini-bar at no extra fee.
The roaring fireplace is a splendid setting to sit and unwind, perhaps to order a light snack or tea. And a leisurely stroll into historic Kronberg will not disappoint. The historic Johanneskirche is a feast for the eyes.
If you're interested in Queen Victoria's extended family, you will want to stroll the halls of the hotel and study the family photographs on the walls.
The breakfast is sumptuous and the staff is friendly and attentive. On an earlier visit I also had dinner at the hotel -- an extraordinary "special event" kind of dinner.

“Excellent Stay, Excellent Service”

Schlosshotel Kronberg

5 of 5 stars
Stuttgart, Germany
Nov 2, 2005
9/9 found this review helpful

The Schlosshotel Kronberg currently has a special last-minute weekend rate of EUR 220 for dinner, bed and breakfast for 2 people, the "Trial Weekend" rate, which can be booked beginning 3 weeks before your stay. Although this is significantly less expensive then their standard rates, when I called to book I was made to feel very comfortable and treated as a valued customer. When we parked our rather shabby Opel among the large number of Audis, BMWs and Mercedes in their parking lot , the doorman hurried over to open the car door for my wife and take our luggage. The desk clerk recognized me - we talked on the phone when I reserved the package - and she was very pleasant and welcoming. We were given a rather small but lovely room with a balcony overlooking the golf course, an antique writing desk and a large bath. Awaiting us were a fruit basket, a letter from the general manager welcoming us, and a note that the mini-bar (filled with non-alcoholic drinks and beer) was complimentary. My wife and I took baths before going down to dinner. When we returned, not only were the beds turned down (which I expected), but the used towels were replaced and the mineral water and soda we had used were replenished. The 3-course dinner was very good. The appetizers and deserts were excellent, while the main course was good but less exciting. Again, the service was very good, and we were treated as very important customers. We left our shoes out to be polished overnight, and they were delivered spotless, in special soft cloth shoe bags. Breakfast was also of excellent quality: the usual breakfast buffet, but also including several kinds of fish as well as an excellent Champagne. This was the only time that the service broke down: we had the impression that breakfast was being run by 2 trainees, and only one of them knew what they were doing. The public rooms and hallways are...well, palatial, as you might expect in a castle built for a member of the German and British monarchy! Rather than attempt to describe them, take a look at the hotel's web site. You will find that the castle is even more impressive than the photos on the web site. I cannot imagine how the staff could have made us feel more welcome! For me, EUR 220 is expensive, but this was money well spent. Highly recommended.

“Wonderful treat”

Schlosshotel Kronberg

3/3 found this review helpful

Stayed here 2 snowy nights for a business trip. It is a beautiful building in a wooded setting surrounded by walking paths and a golf course. There is great attention to detail both in the furnishings, food, and service. This would be an ideal place for a romantic getaway as you are pampered and treated like royalty. The food was excellent and the rooms are all different and quiet.
