Comments
This hotel gym is actually a public gym (“Holmes Place”), but when you stay at the hotel, you get free access to the hotel gym, sauna and pool.
 
As this is a public gym as well, it’s one of the largest hotel gyms I’ve ever seen. It wasn’t busy on the day I visited it.
 
I was very happy with the range of available equipment, etc. It’s good quality.
The cleanliness/house-keeping level is also very good.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Yes, this is one of the best hotel gyms I’ve ever seen – we’ll surely return when we are in Düsseldorf!

H+ Hotel

Hotel: H+ Hotel            
Address: Krugwiese 11A, Goslar 38640, Germany
 
Time of visit: July 2020
 
Equipment
There’s one treadmill, one cross trainer and one bike…
There’re 3,5 sets of dumbbells – the heaviest set being 5 kg.
 
Does the hotel gym offer complementary towels? Yes.
Does the hotel gym offer complementary water? No.
 
Comments
With the total space available being around 25 square meters, everything appears rather cramped together. The bike is positioned directly in the corner behind the door, the cross trainer next to it in the opposite corner and the treadmill along the wall.
Due to the current COVID-19 situation, only one person at a time was allowed to use the facility. I can only imagine how “heavy” the air will be if there’re three people sweating on the cardio equipment.
 
If you’re looking for a weight-based workout, you’re likely to be hugely disappointed: There’re 3,5 sets of dumbbells with the heaviest set being 5 kg. There’s no bench or yoga mats so any workout has to be done standing or lying on the (potentially) dirty floor.
 
Although there’s a sign stating something else, there were never complimentary water available during the visits I made to the gym.
 
On a positive note, the cardio equipment available is from Life Fitness allowing you to do a proper cardio workout without worrying if everything is going to fall apart halfway.
 
Opening hours are from 7am to 10pm – access is provide via your room key.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
No… The equipment available is simply too poor!

Element Hotel

Hotel: Element Hotel
Address: De-Saint-Exupéry-Strasse 6, Frankfurt 60549, Germany 
 
Time of visit: January, 2018
 
Equipment
Dumbbells up until 22kg and cardio machines (bike, treadmill and cross trainer).
 
Does the hotel gym offer complementary towels? Yes.
Does the hotel gym offer complementary water? Yes.
 
Comments
A rather small hotel gym with rather limited options due to a limited range of equipment. However, with a little creativity, it’s surely possible to do a proper workout – at least cardio-wise.
The radio was playing loud, talkative radio from built-in speakers in the ceiling. Since there was no remote or buttons anywhere allowing for the radio to be turned off/down it was somewhat disturbing. However, this might not be a general problem.
 
Based on the hotel gym, would you stay at this hotel next time you’re in the area?
Maybe!
