“Don't select Kurparkhotel for quiet business stay, it's a senior party palace”

Easy online booking, clean facility, gracious staff, fine breakfast buffet, and location next to the lovely Kurpark are all pluses. But I picked this "quiet, peaceful garden-side hotel" for a place to rest and concentrate - instead I got a room with two windows opening out on the plaza dance floor with the hotel's Raggae-Polka music blaring throughout afternoon and evening. With unusually hot weather and no AC, I had to open the windows to sleep. The following (Sunday) morning I had a ringside seat for next door church bells from both sides. Bad Durkheim is a nice place to stop -and for some vacationers the Kurparkhotel might be perfect - but my preferences will take me to a quieter hotel next time. If you're not into Polka or reggae, at least ask for a room away from the dance floor!
