The rooms are beyond outstanding, beautiful and comfortable. They have a parking garage for your convenience and their location is basically prime. I can not wait to go back. Keep it up staff!

This establishment has definitely gone downhill over the last few years. The kitchen is not what it…read moreused to be. Most of the dishes are average at best. The hotel is clean and the service and rooms are adequate. There is a charge for underground parking that is seldom available, because most of the spaces in the garage are reserved for the adjacent office building. The is a small charge for WiFi; a service that is now commonly available without charge throughout Germany. The breakfast buffet is nothing special like it used to be and the server was a little rude and lazy. It is close to the airport and the train station is a five minute walk. If you have to be in Erding, this is probably your best option, but if you don't need to stay in Erding, you might want to look elsewhere.

The hotel offered a breakfast, but we had to leave too early in the morning to take advantage of it. The hotel was within walking distance of several nice restaurants, as well as a park.

OMG! One of the best experiences ever. Coupled with the Therma Erding and the Hotel, restaurant,…read moreand bar, we all decided we would love to just move in forever. We took the family for a vacation on our last visit to Germany. The room wasn't ready when we arrived at 11am, but they get you all set up with robes, towels, a locker. They check your bags and have your room all set up for you around 3 or 4pm. The rooms are fantastic. We got two of the "family rooms" with boats for the kids to sleep on. We got the birthday package and they had treats and decorations waiting for us. I would say to splurge on the package to make it so festive when you get in your room. And did I say there were TWO bathrooms! No waiting! The beds were also so comfy. Hubby and I spent a bit of time in the Kaleidoscope Bar. The bartender made us some special drinks. He was so informative and we chatted for a while. We had dinner with the little ones right by the kiddie pool. So everyone was occupied and it all went well. This place is top notch.

In recent years, we have stayed at Kastanienhof two or three times a year - essentially the first…read morestop whenever possible each time we go to Europe. Mainly due to it's proximity to public transportation (bus from the airport, train to the city center) and to the fabulous Therme Erding. Worth breaking down our review notes into a few categories. LOCATION: They advertise themselves as an airport hotel, which is a little peculiar as Erding is a pretty good distance from the airport, and every time we've taken a taxi, it's been in the neighborhood of 30 euros - TOO MUCH! Last time, we took the bus. It was five euros (per person) but goes non-stop from the terminal to the train station in Erding, which is right across the street from Hotel Kastanienhof. A bit less convenient, but totally worth the savings. The train is the end of the S-Bahn line that runs into downtown Munich; very handy for catching long distance trains at the Hauptbahnhof, or sight-seeing anywhere in Munich, but you do have to figure in the 40 minute or so transfer time into town. Trains seem to leave about every 20 minutes from Erding. THERME: We stay here because we love to visit the therme our first day in Europe to combat jet lag in the German tradition of decadence! Certainly an easy walk during daylight through a very pretty park, or your can take the S-Bahn one stop to "Alt Erding" and cut your walking time in half. If you drive to the therme, you have to go around the town, which almost takes longer than walking. We've had a car with us several times, and the underground parking garage has been a nice perk. The hotel has package deals that include spa tickets, parking, breakfast, and a room all for one price. Usually a good deal. ROOMS: Some of the rooms DO smell pretty smokey, and yes, the beds are pretty hard, but we routinely experience both those things in most 'real' European hotels. The rooms are reasonably spacious and nicely appointed, and it's worth buying into the internet package if you have business to do on line. We prefer the rooms on the outside of the hotel which give you a view of the surrounding town. BREAKFAST: Always a nice spread in the European buffet style, though we've been there a couple times when a tour group is on the grounds. Arriving at breakfast after they do always leads to disappointment. There are bakeries within walking distance downtown, as well as several local eateries, all within walking distance, but we typically pay the extra euros and eat at the hotel. There are quite a few hotels in Erding, and we have considered trying others, but given the convenience to the bus and train, and repeatedly pleasant stays there, why go anywhere else. Get the spa package, spend a day at the therme, and soak your jet lag away!
