Weisser Schwan 

I am a regular at this quaint B&B hotel/restaurant establishment, staying for 3-4 nights each time. This hotel is not on Booking.com. In fact, I stumbled across this place while traveling on the tram to a hotel much further out of town. It looked so very pretty in the evening with the fairy lights around the windows glistening. Like a magpie, I was drawn to find out what rooms they had available and to my surprise, the hotel was solid booked full for about a month. I finally found dates that worked with my schedule and booked it. And I have to say, very pleasantly surprised. I travel to Darmstadt regularly for work so I need a place that is comfortable, not too far from the office with a good selection of eateries nearby. The staff here are excellent. Very friendly and are helpful with every request. There is a restaurant on site, closed on Mondays, serving a variety of local traditional food. The chef here is very talented. I eat here at least once during any stay. For a change, literally across the road, is a superb Asian restaurant serving Vietnamese, Thai and Chinese specialities and Sushi. Very welcoming, very cheap and huge portions too! For transport, the tram stop is right outside the door and only 10 mins into Luisenplatz. The rooms themselves are basic but homely and clean. Highly recommended
