Very dirty room. There was a towel hanging in the bathroom from the previous guest.There were traces of blood on the wall above the bed. The bedside table was very dusty.The staff was relatively friendly. The cleaner seemed to be solely responsible. (hence probably this dirty state).

Worst experience in my life. I travel a lot and this has never happened to me before. The rooms were dirty, really really dirty. …

I would like to describe my deeply disappointing experience at your hotel. On September 27th, 2024, I had the dubious pleasure of meeting a receptionist whose unfriendliness was second to none. When I politely asked if it would be possible to check out five minutes later, I was answered in a tone that lacked any trace of humanity. I didn't feel like a valued guest, but rather like an annoying object that needed to be gotten rid of as quickly as possible.This experience is particularly shocking in the context of our stay: When we arrived, we were let into our room late, which we acknowledged with polite thanks. But when it comes to minimal flexibility when checking out, the same level of understanding and service seems to be completely missing.An appeal to the hotel management: It is absolutely unacceptable to have such incompetent and unfriendly employees in direct contact with guests. This lady managed to turn an otherwise pleasant stay into an extremely negative one. Something like that shouldn't happen in a hotel of this class. I really hope that appropriate measures are taken to prevent future guests from having similar experiences.

Absolutely disappointing! The room was incredibly dirty, especially the bathroom. Stains from the previous owner on the floor, hair in the shower, hair on the bed and in the room, and thick dust on the counter. I asked for a new room and actually got a different one, but the second room was just as bad. The Hotel Excelsior in Kassel really seems to lack cleanliness. Definitely not recommended!
