Balkan Café in Kassel

Unfriendly staff. The food doesn't taste good. I also wouldn't recommend anyone taking a trial period there, as if you work for 2-3 days without meeting the boss, you'll be sent away! Absolutely terrible place, trying to delete reviews.

It couldn't be more unfriendly. My recommendation is not to come here.

Was here for a wedding and it was beautiful the food was amazing and really friendly staff and only about a ten minute walk to the center of town.

Unfortunately, very disappointing. Based on the good Google reviews, we decided to spend our hiking holiday in Kassel at the Hotel zur Berggarten. Pros: The room was adequately clean, and daily housekeeping was offered. Cons: Unfortunately, we noticed a few shortcomings upon arrival. The furnishings are quite dated but adequate. The shower has a wonderful rain showerhead, but the shower lip was missing, and the small bathroom flooded within a very short time. The owner tried to fix this, but the new shower lip unfortunately still didn't stop the shower from leaking. The hotel doesn't have any parking spaces, and guests are encouraged to park on the side of the road. The walls are very thin, and since the hotel is located directly next to the street, the tram, and a church, it was impossible to sleep in room 20. You could also clearly hear the slamming of doors in other rooms. Wi-Fi was rather poor, with a maximum of one bar. Another unfortunately negative aspect was the food selection in the restaurant. As a vegetarian, you have only one option – vegetable noodles. More than half of the drinks/beers offered on the menu were also unavailable. After the second night, we decided to leave a day early due to very poor sleep. Although we left within checkout time, it was apparently not possible to cancel the last night because he had already submitted everything to the "tax office." The bill was billed upon check-in, which was already very unusual. Although the owner had already been tense but seemingly trying hard during the previous issues, he quickly became unfriendly, rude, insulting, and, above all, personal. He suggested that my partner and I had relationship problems (???), pointed out that I could be his daughter in terms of age, and that I needed to be careful with my "karma." Very, very unprofessional and appalling. The reviews on Holidaycheck are 3.8/10, which I also find surprising, especially compared to the 4.7/5 stars on Google. My guess is that negative reviews are being deleted and/or the number of reviews for the restaurant far exceeds that of the hotel. The Holidaycheck reviews also mentioned the negative aspects we noticed: thin walls, a noisy tram, an unfriendly owner, and a lack of hotel parking. For €89 a night without meals, I would have expected more. What a shame.

The local bar is closed. There is now a well-run veterinary practice on the premises.
