Well what a strange combination of hotel and location we have here! Midori The Green is a very modern hotel which seems to be geared towards business travellers situated in the middle of the small sleepy town of Dossenheim. Be warned - there is not much to do within walking distance! Anyway, we stayed for 2 nights and the hotel was acceptable for our needs.

Great Value, Rooms can be warm
The hotel was great and priced well. They allowed our dogs to stay, as well, for a small fee. The automated check in process seemed to have a problen and I was directed to go to the 3rd floor and check-in in person. Not a big deal at all. The stay was nice and the breakfast was worth the €10. The only issue we had is that the room was very warm in the evening and a bit difficult to sleep. We had our window open and tried to cool the room down but it didn't help much. Overall a nice place!

There is no one there to greet you or check you in, they have put a machine where you check yourself in manually. We even handed our cards to the cleaner as there wasn't anyone there for checkout. There are no basic amenities in the room, such as tea or coffee, or at least a bottle of water. The place appeared to be modern and have amazing reviews but then there was no air conditioning and not even a fan to keep you cool so you are forced to have the (one) window open, and with the hotel being on a popular street there is a lot of noise. Parking is right outside the hotel on the main road, hence the noise if any guest or other persons arrive/leave. There is also a big glass window between the bedroom and the bathroom which means that if someone uses the bathroom during the night the light will automatically wake the other person up. We were woken up before 10am by loud knocking from a few workers who claimed they came to fix something in the room, and we had to explain that we had the room until 11am (checkout). It was very stupid that they couldn't be told that the room is occupied and that they actually woke us up. The room also had mould on the ceiling which is horrible for your health. It is definitely not worth the price and it is the one hotel we regret staying at during our time in Europe. We were just confused as to why there is such a high rating for this hotel - it really doesn't deserve it and I would much rather stay elsewhere even if it meant paying more.

Response from Management on 1 Sept 2020
Dear Anonymous, thank you for your review after your stay, we are very sorry that you did not like us. You were informed in advance that our check-in is now automated due to the pandemic, so we cannot fully understand your execution. It is also incorrect that there was no staff on site on the day of your departure, as our reception is open until 12:00 p.m. every day. Unfortunately, due to your anonymous notification, we cannot trace in which room you stayed. However, an expert review of all rooms has shown that there is no mold in any of our rooms. You would also have liked to book a room on the south side for a small surcharge, in which you sleep facing away from the street and these rooms have a tea / coffee station. Since we are a passive house, air conditioning is not necessary, air is exchanged automatically and our rooms are well air-conditioned in both winter and summer. We very much regret that we were not able to meet your wishes and expectations and that you did not have a pleasant time at Midori and would have wished that you had spoken to us directly about this. Nevertheless we wish you all the best.

Quiet retreat
Clean rooms, very nice roof terrace and great breakfast. Very polite staff. Nice town centre within walking distance with some nice, traditional German restaurants / taverns for a filling meal and tasty beer. Staying in a certified passivhaus hotel/guesthouse was an added bonus. Lots of on-site and on-street parking.

HD quick trip
Very nice, clean and efficient hotel. liked the airy and lighted room, not much a fan of dark and plushy rooms, so this was definitely a big plus. also liked the rooftop breakfast room a lot. just the manners of the front desk lady being so stuck to her policies seemed a bit odd, my advise is get a bit more relaxed esp. if you deal with returning guests.

Loved, loved, loved this place! We had a car and did not want to hassle with Heidelberg parking so we stayed here. It was wonderful! We parked the car in the underground garage upon arrival and took it out upon departure two days later. In between, we took the tram to Heidelberg (one time) and walked the greenways to lunch, dinner, etc. in the nearby towns ... maybe 12 to 15 miles. There were bikes to rent. The staff - from the cleaning gentleman to the (top floor) reception folks- were anxious to help you. The breakfast area/lounge was lovely as was the outdoor space. I would definitely plan my future trip to Germany so I could stay at this hotel.

The Midori --an odd juxtaposition
This hotel is a strange juxtaposition. The service is excellent, as is the breakfast and the location, with restaurants and tram stop within a few hundred metres. The roof garden is a particularly welcome option at the end of a long drive. However I found the all white, ultra modern decor and layout caused me to feel that I was staying in a clinic rather than a hotel. It lacked some colour. A minor frustration, given the thought that had been put into the rest of the hotel, was that the access door to the underground gagrge from the hotel lift didnt open automatically and there was a 'lip' once the door was open, making access with heavy luggage on wheels very difficult. Overall though The Midori was a good experience and I would certainly stay there again, though maybe not for more than a couple of days.

Very Uncomfortable but Clean
My wife and I were both unable to sleep due to the bed being both too soft and sloping toward the middle. I don't believe the mattress was old or worn out but it was the most uncomfortable bed I've ever slept in. Having lived in Germany for 11 years and traveled a lot internationally, I understand that bed designs differ from country to country but, at any rate, the bed was simply bad. Also, the lack of airflow in the room didn't improve the situation. I understand that the hotel is proud of its environmentally friendly and energy efficient geothermal system but a small fan would have helped a lot. We opened the window for a while because it was slightly cooler outside but the resulting smell of cigarette smoke and morning road noise led us to abandon that effort too. Upon checkout, the front desk clerk told me that some rooms have firmer beds and they can be requested at check-in time. Wish they would have offered that to me when we arrived. High points were a very good breakfast buffet, convenient parking, and above average cleanliness.

Thanks for your review after your stay. We're really terribly sorry that you did not have a pleasant stay in Midori . In the standard categories we currently still on beds of size 1,40x2,00m and these rooms face the street side . We are here to exchange this year, the beds so that we have more comfortable beds in all rooms . is to book a room in Comfort or Superior area Our recommendation for a return visit . These rooms are always the road away . Thank you very much for your feedback and would be delighted to welcome you another time in Midori .

A reasonable option close enough to Heidelberg
Everything was great, my minor problems was that there were no napkins in the room. I also would appreciate if there was at least one set of plate and utensils. And sometimes I couldn't get the room warm enough, but I am usually cold, so it may not be a problem for a normal person :) people were nice and surroundings were beautiful. There was a couple of restaurants and a grocery store close by.

Thank you for your review following your stay. We are pleased that you liked the location of the house. From your review, we found that they had a room with a refrigerator, because they lacked the dishes. We ask for your understanding that not all rooms are equipped with the fridge, so we offer the facilities to be booked individually. For a small fee, we can equip the room then out with crockery, kitchen utensils and a kettle. We would be very pleased if you would choose nevertheless once again for the Midori.

Met our needs
Temp parking was a bit complicated for check in, but there is underground parking once you are a registered guest. The breakfast/lounge area was very nice with a lovely view. The room could have used some glasses and supplies since it is set up as a kitchenette. The room is very nice and modern. The shower gets much of the bathroom wet, but it was clean and modern.

Dear Joseph, many thanks for your feedback after your stay at the Midori. We are glad that you had a good stay at the Midori. We are very sorry that we do not have an air condition, but because of the fact that we are built as Passivhouse it is usually not necessary to have one. The Passivhouse is one of our signs regarding our green concept,besides to a lot of others. We are very sorry that you missed the diner in the evening, but we decide to serve only small snacks and we make recommendations for the surround restaurants. We still hope to welcome you again at the Midori and wish you a good time.

Easy trip into Heidelberg
We chose the Midori since it was close to Heidelberg and its intriguing design. It was very interesting with a green and modern feel. Breakfast was fantastic and the staff was super helpful and friendly. My only complaint was that we could not figure out how to control the room temperature or any fan controls; we didn’t even see any AC vents. Consequently we had a tough night’s sleep since the room was so warm. I think this is one of those examples where going “green” can be going to far.

Dear Mark, many thanks for your feedback and we are glad that you enjoyed your time at the Midori. We are glad that you liked the breakfast and you where satisifed with our staff. We are very sorry about your situation in the room. Unfortunaltey it is not possible to control the temprature seperatly for every room. Because of our concept of controlling the climate, we are trying to have a constant temperature in alle of the rooms. But we understand that the impression of each guest is different. We will be glad if we can welsome you again at the Midori and wish you a good time.

Not so good
Hotel is new and beautiful, but I got a street level room that is just to close to the street. Anyone passing in the walkway will be just a few inches from your window. So you have to keep the blind closed at all times! Staff if very polity but not very useful. Finally, I got a very small bed for a couple! It is more for a large single bed... Location is not very close if you want to go to Heidelberg (15 min tram).

Best service, comfort, and price in Germany!
This hotel is excellent! Best price, location, and service we have had in Germany. The metro is on the same corner as the hotel and it comes every 1/2 hr and only takes 10 mins to get to the main strip. The bed was the most comfortable we have ever slept in, as far as european beds. The rooms are large. The Breakfast is the best for the price...still european breakfast but a lot of food and hot scrambled eggs and oranges that you can squeeze fresh! We would definitely stay here again. Garage parking is spacious and under the hotel which is perfect. The customer service was great. We arrived late and they had a 24/7 "atm" like check-in machine on the outside of the entrance. The Reception desk is on the 3rd floor where they serve breakfast with amazing views!
