Small, family-run city hotel near the theater that has a history and has welcomed many illustrious guests. The style is a bit old-fashioned, but the service from the couple who run it is excellent. Very clean. Only breakfast buffet, but plenty of it. Parking spaces nearby around the corner. Everything is for individualists, but I love it.

A journey back in time to the 80s, very clean and comfortable beds. Good and rich breakfast. Very friendly owner, good service. Centrally in the middle of the city. An inexpensive alternative to the stylish hotel chains without any charm...

The obviously homophobic owner (Mr. Marcelli) - after my friend accompanied me to my room briefly in the afternoon - insulted us so aggressively as we came down that I can't put it into words. …

This is my favorite hotel in Giessen. You cannot beat the location, literally in the epicenter of Giessen. But what sets this hotel apart are the owners, Anna and Stefano. They provide that extra touch for each of their guests. Breakfast each day is fantastic. The rooms are extra clean and everything in working order. Anna and Stefano always accommodate any needs I might have. The City Hotel is my home away from home.
