Arrival & Parking

How you get here.

From the main station it’s about 2 km to the hotel — roughly 15 minutes on foot or around 5 minutes by car/taxi. By public transport: underground lines 16 or 18 to Ebertplatz, then about 300 m on foot.

Ebertplatz underground · approx. 300 m to the hotel

Yes — 30 hotel parking spaces right at the building. Booking recommended, as spaces are limited. Chargeable at the current daily rate, settled at reception.

Tip: if you’re arriving by car, please reserve a space by phone in advance.

Yes, 2 EV charging points at 22 kW in the hotel car park. Billed at €0.65 per kWh directly at reception.

Both points support Type 2 connectors. A standard charging cable can be borrowed at reception.

Reachable by underground from Ebertplatz; on trade-fair days we recommend the KVB rather than the car — no traffic jams and no hunting for a parking space.

Ebertplatz underground · approx. 300 m from the hotel

Yes — we’re a Bett+Bike establishment. Secure bike storage, tools for minor repairs, Rhine Cycle Route maps at reception.

We arrange bike hire on request through local partners.

„With the KVB you’re often quicker than by car — and less stressed. The Ebertplatz underground station is about 300 metres from the hotel. If you do drive: reserve a parking space, especially on trade-fair days.“
