Hotel "Am alten Park"

Description

The Hotel am alten Park*** is a city hotel for tourists, seminar guests and business travelers. Located directly opposite the main train station, it is barrier-free for pedestrians via the access on Viktoriastraße and for other road users via the access on Frölichstraße. 

In the middle of the city and yet away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life you will find our hotel surrounded by an old park - a small oasis. The green areas offer seating to linger. An apothecary and sensory garden, located directly next to the restaurant zeit.los, complement the diversity of the grounds. 

Experience warm hospitality in our house, which belongs to the Evangelische Diakonissenanstalt.
