Hotel Dalberg

We booked a three-night stay at Hotel Dalberg, which is located in the centre of Aschaffenburg, within walking distance of the railway station. Our Deluxe Double Room (qualified as ‘Business Double’ in another document) was located on the second floor facing the quiet Pfaffengasse and offered a view of a rather awful contemporary building across the street. We were a bit worried about the large restaurant outdoor area under our window, but the soundproofing of the room was good, and, in the evening, it was possible to have a drink at the restaurant, which stayed open late. We also had a mini bar with a choice of glasses, which is rather unusual. Often you have to drink your wine from a cardboard cup or a water glass these days. Instant coffee and tea were also provided. Our room wasn’t very large, but the outlay was practical. There was a good-sized desk with reasonably good reading light. The ledger we expected to provide useful information for tourists only contained a German lifestyle magazine. We had a sitting corner with a round table and two easy chairs. The bedding was good, and there were nightstands with a drawer. We were disappointed the room was carpeted. As one of us is allergic to dust, we prefer tiled or wooden floors. The bathroom was okay and had sufficient storage room, but the shower floor was dangerously slippery. The hotel website reads, ‘Upper floor accessible by elevator,’ but, in fact, the elevator stopped between two floors, and you either had to climb or descend a flight of stairs, which might be a problem for people with mobility issues. The breakfast buffet was okay. The fresh cookies available every day in the downstairs reception area were an extra bonus. All in all, a hotel we would book again if we returned to Aschaffenburg.

Wir haben ein verlängertes Wochenende in Aschaffenburg verbracht und im Hotel Dalberg übernachtet. Ein sehr schönes, familiengeführtes Hotel direkt in der Altstadt. Alles sehr gut erreichbar und zentral gelegen. Die Zimmer waren freundlich und gemütlich eingerichtet. Alles da, was man braucht. Das Frühstück war echt genial. Sehr reichhaltig und die besten Eier ( wer bekommt heutzutage noch gute weich gekochte Eier auf den Punkt! ) und Rühreier mit Soeck, Sekt, Milchreis mit Zucker und Zimt !, Fisch, Müsli, frisches Obst…. alles da! Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und werden bestimmt nicht zum letzten Mal in diesem Hotel und in Aschaffenburg gewesen sein! Daumen hoch !!!
