A 10-min drive from Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe (see the castle in Kassel!). The VW factory is also 5 min away.

Don’t be fooled by the early 20th century exterior or the onsite restaurant name (Bistro 1904). Fresh, modern interior delights.

Hotel pool is prime for relaxation or exercise.

Get the night (or afternoon) started without leaving the onsite bar.

Spot-on location perfect for exploring. Check out the old town or university. The Lokhalle (main event venue) is a 5-min stroll.

Check out local must-sees like the monastery ruins at Eppenberg Charterhouse or head a little further to Lake Goldbergsee.

Whatever time you stumble in, the 24-hour front desk serves up service with a smile.

Along the main road of this cute country town among hilly, forested landscapes.

Bring your furry friends along for the ride. This place is pet friendly.

Rooms are comfy, spacious and modern.

Occupies a prime corner location in the city centre.

A hop, skip and a jump (make sure to do all three) to the Gütersloh station and city centre.

Inviting, low-key stay that doesn’t scrimp on style – it’s all that without trying too hard.

The Bach House Museum and Wartburg Castle are both within the realm of sightseeing possibilities. Hop to it.
