As you travel up toward the Lower Market on Schmidtgasse, you could easily pass a wooden door and the Grimmelhausen-Hotel. The owner is a friendly woman who insisted on carrying our bags to our third floor room.
The halls were narrow and dark paneled but our room was bright and airy.The large windows opened up to a view of the church steeple and the hills behind the town. The steeple is spotlighted at night and we could watch the mist move through the hills in the morning.
The two single beds were wide and comfortable. The bathroom was nicely decorated and immaculate. Dinner is not provided but breakfast is and consists of typical German B&B fare of cold cuts, rolls, coffee and tea. The breakfast room looked like an old pub and contained widely spaced tables with bright flower arrangements.
The Grimmelhausen-Hotel is an affordable, convenient and comfortable place to stay when visiting Gelnhausen.(note:parking 1/2 block away at the Lower Market).
