Awful. The website is tricky. The pictures are tricky. They sent us to stay in another building, with no staff. It was mainly a museum, with nobody there, very creepy. I didn’t even feel safe at night. The towels were so old and dirty. The carpet was so dirty. There was dirty linens in the hallway and nobody even bother to clean it.
There is no elevator and there is nobody to help you to take your luggage up.
I absolutely do not recommend to stay here.

Unique property with fascinating history - it’s most suited for conference and business use. Beautiful grounds, our room was spacious and comfortable. Staff was efficient and friendly. Be aware that access to rooms in the “Kavilier Haus” above the restaurant requires making a long walk on gravel surface and then steep climb up a curved stairway to reach the first floor. Restaurant was quite good - staff very friendly.

I appreciate this hotel every time I stay here. It has a quiet elegance that I enjoy. My room was in the Jagdschloss itself, and it was beautiful and comfortable. The bed was wonderful and I appreciated the selection of pillows. I especially loved the nearby forest and lake, and the walking trails. I plan to return to the Jagdschloss Kranichstein and I recommend it to others.

We stayed there for one night. But it seemed like a long time. You can walk around. There is the garden and the lake, which is not a new thing in Germany in general. I’d much prefer it if they had some bikes to rent, then we could go through the green areas. Also, they could have some small boats on the lake. It seemed like there were so many unused potentials.

However, I have to say the staff were extraordinarily nice. The rooms were clean. There was a rabbit and a swing in the garden which I loved.

I stayed here 2 nights solo, the second night was with a puppy. Staff were easy to communicate with via chat through Expedia leading up to the trip, and we’re friendly and helpful in person. I paid extra for the breakfast buffet, it was excellent. The on site restaurant was wonderful, I ate there twice for dinner. They let me bring my new pup into the restaurant. It was a little hard to find (I kept driving past it in the dark, my GPS had the wrong entrance). I was in an adjacent building, so had to walk outside a short distance. The hallway in the main building leading to the outdoor path was quite dark in the evening. Maybe I missed a light switch? I loved the park setting and the beautiful pond. Unfortunately I didn’t have much time to explore. It was very peaceful, though there was noise from being in the flight path of Frankfurt airport. Having said that, it was an easy drive to the airport when it was time to leave (25 minutes). When I arrived with my puppy, they had a dog bed and a water bowl waiting in the room, so sweet! I would stay there again.

Check-in was at the main hotel. We stayed in the lovely annex just 100m down the road. Unfortunately the road can be rather busy so you either have to sit in traffic awaiting an opening in the oncoming flow to make the required left-hand-turn or you drive past/turn around and come back and make a right-hand-turn OR you risk it. We tried to locate the building using Google Maps but it stopped us about a km short, next to some railway tracks so … aim for the Museum building and you’ll get very near the check-in location. Very pleasant facility - clean and quiet. This is out in the country - there are a few eateries nearby (a bit pricey) or you have to head into Darmstadt for a full array of choices. Unfortunately, we had to head for the Frankfurt Airport rather early (a good half-hour away) and we missed any opportunity to examine the hunting museum or the eco-museum at the two Jagdschloss locations. Overall - pretty good value for our one-night stay.

Beautiful stay in this historic hunting lodge from the 17th century! 25 minutes to Frankfurt airport. Very quiet peaceful grounds. Breakfast for 17 euros a bit pricey but many choices and beautiful layout and service.
I only needed a room for overnight prior to my return flight, so booked the least expensive option which is in the annex building. The room was very elegant but had only a view of the gravel parking lot. Ok for one brief night but would choose an upgrade for a longer stay. The grounds are gorgeous with access to a large network of trails through the adjacent woods near the lake.

Sense of history of the main building as well as the rooms in the nearby coach house. Amazing architecture that makes you want to turn back the clock to the 18th century.
Very pleasant breakfast room staff who were positive, welcoming and professionally 'courteous'. Front office staff were helpful, too.
The value experience offered by the rooms in the coach house is slightly less than the rooms in the main building.

Very Quiet and Very Nice.

Nice hotel located just outside of Darmstadt (only 10 mins. by car). The hotel has 2 guest areas, the main hotel and the annex (where I stayed). The hotel grounds are really nice. The room was small but comfortable, very clean, nice bathroom and shower. The Annex is about 150 meters from the main hotel but has its own parking lot out front. It is very quiet at night. The restaurant breakfast is fantastic (I did not have dinner at the restaurant) and there is a local steakhouse directly across the street from the Annex (2 min walk). The location for me was fine, but it is a little ways from anything.

Delightful

The hotel has acquired new management and a makeover since I last visited it 18 years ago. It is clearly a popular ‘corporate’ destination. But that is matched by a very efficient and friendly staff. We stayed in a brand new block behind the main hotel. It was very comfortable, if a little on the warm side (there is no air conditioning). The hotel surroundings remain as beautiful as I recalled, and within a short distance from the Mathildenhöhe UNESCO Heritage site - worth recommending since it remains off the main tourist track.
