Maritim Hotel am Schlossgarten in Fulda

This hotel deserves two stars only because of their staff (that is really amazing, all of them), and their excellent food. Both, dinner and breakfast we had there were excellent.

Unfortunately, the same cannot be said about the hotel establishment and its facilities.

While I understand that this hotel was built sometime at the end of the 70's, and nobody is willing to invest into its modernization, there are simple hacks how to make the life of its guests better. Firstly, the garages. Whilst conveniently located underneath the hotel, there is no barrier free access available, meaning that if you want to unload your suitcase in the car, and take it directly to the hotel (why wouldn't you, the hotel has a direct elevator from the reception to the garage), you are about to come to the nasty surprise - the elevators are malfunctional. What is worse, nobody thought about putting that notice to the garage, which would spare you carrying your bags up the stairs to the elevator.

Secondly, the rooms. Where to begin? Firstly, the design is from some time in 1970, as I said, and that brings a few weird things with it. Like - you have your sink directly in the room - not in the bathroom, IN THE ROOM. There is no AC - at least, we haven't found any. Also - absolutely no sockets next to your bed where you could charge your phone. We had to take out the drawers, unplug the bedside lamp, and plug in the phones. This is honestly ridiculous concept in 2025 when we all are depending on our cellphones, and I frankly don't see a reason why the hotel can't provide some extension cables for every bedside table.

That's why 2 stars only. This hotel is in the beautiful location, and as said, has an amazing staff, and delish food, but the hotel itself is not much to look at.
