“We had a great room, it had a balcony. The Receptionist is very kind and gave us a freindly welcome. Beautiful located, great view, room can get dark and it was quiet. The service can be really improved tho regarding their breakfast department. Clearing tables restocking items, drinks and food etc.”

“A beautiful historic building with spacious rooms. The breakfast was simple but very good, and the fresh eggs made to order were a nice touch. The location is excellent, with restaurants within walking distance. The bathroom was outdated and the bathroom and showerdoor didn’t close properly, but overall the stay was pleasant. WiFi worked well.”

“We stayed here spring 2016. Beautiful hotel with nice staff. We ate breakfast on the porch with a great view of the river valley and flowers blooming below. Breakfast was delicious and the beds were comfortable. We didn't get to use the pool because we checked in too late, but it looked nice.”

“Stunningly beautiful. In Bad Ems you will feel like you are in Italy. It is an excellent place for a short vacation. The hotel is lovely and the rooms are spacious. The Parkhotel is a magnificent Victorian building located just a 5 minute walk from the Bad Ems train station. In 1869, Empress Auguste Victoria stayed at the Parkhotel as a young princess. It is a testament to the splendor of days gone by, but has retained its romantic charm. The rooms are spacious and bright, and when the weather is nice, you can enjoy your breakfast on the terrace. A few steps away is the Balmoral House of Artists (Künstlerhaus Schloss Balmoral), whose fellows might be pleased to have an interested visitor. I fell ill during my stay and received so much kind help from the owners, the Shrestha family, that I would like to take this opportunity to publicly thank them once again. They provided me with biscuits, tea, etc., and the artists' house for which I was to work sent a doctor and procured medicine. I had never been sick while traveling alone and was happy to receive this care. Bad Ems in the beautiful Lahn Valley is a journey back to the imperial era. With its magnificent baroque architecture, it is still worth a visit today. If Bad Ems were on Lake Garda, like other summer resorts of the emperors of that time, it would still have the visitor numbers it deserves. It has Italian flair and a thermal bath that is worth a visit, at least for a day. The centuries-old Marksburg Castle (12 km) and the Electoral Palace (19 km) are not far away. It is the perfect destination for nature lovers, culture and history buffs, outdoor sports enthusiasts and the health conscious.”

“Very nice hotel, conveniently located 5 minutes away from the railway station and 15 minutes walking (the walk through Bad Ems is really pleasant) from the thermal baths, with a nice view over the town. Although the hotel was clearly built quite long ago, the building has a nice vintage flair to it, and the rooms have been extensively renovated. Clean, cozy. The hotel staff was very kind and nice. Overall a good experience, would definitely come back.”
