Premier Inn Darmstadt City Centre
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Yes, it is worth booking if you want a very clean, predictable room near the train station at the lowest price among our Darmstadt picks. Budget for extras, though: guests find breakfast and the garage expensive, which narrows the gap with our Best Value pick.

Premier Inn Darmstadt City Centre is our Budget pick for Darmstadt. It is a 3-star hotel with a guest score of 8.5 out of 10 from 4,559 reviews. It suits rail travellers, drivers passing through on the motorway, and anyone who puts cleanliness first.
Skip it if you plan to walk to the museums every day, since the main sights in our data are 24 to 40 minutes away on foot. Also skip it if you expect breakfast and parking to be cheap add-ons: guests say both cost more than they expected.
Location and getting around
The address is 3 Ida-Rhodes-Straße. Guests rate the location 8.3. They say the hotel is near the motorway and a short walk from the train station, which makes it easy to reach by car or rail.
For sightseeing, distances are longer. The Nuur-ud-Din Mosque is about 1.9 km away, roughly 24 minutes on foot. The Hessisches Landesmuseum Darmstadt is 2.3 km, about 29 minutes. The Vortex Garden is 3.2 km, around 40 minutes, which is far: use public transport or a taxi. These times are straight-line estimates.
What guests say
Cleanliness is the strongest praise. Guests describe bedrooms and bathrooms as spotless and tidy throughout. The location also gets credit for being close to the station and the motorway.
The criticism is about extras. Room rates are seen as reasonable, but guests consider the cost of breakfast and the garage high. Room size, noise and renovation condition have not been assessed, so read recent reviews if those matter to you.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price was €87.61 per night, seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults. It is not a live quote, so check today's price for your dates. It was about 27% below the sample median of €119.51.
Our Best Value pick, Maritim Hotel Darmstadt, is a 4-star that was €107.42 a night with a score of 8.6. Our Luxury pick, Fair n Square Hotel 24 Stunden Self-Check In, is a 4-star at €126.06 a night with a score of 9.2.
So the room alone is about €20 a night cheaper than Maritim. If you add the breakfast and garage that guests call pricey, that saving shrinks. Prices for those extras are not in our data, so check them at booking. The property lists a restaurant, air conditioning and a 24-hour front desk. Breakfast options listed are continental, full English or Irish, and buffet.
Why it made our top 3
