SOVA Pension Baunatal

It was a quiet place to stay. Near Kassel city, by car. Grocery nearby, 5 minute by car. We had a great time for the short stay. You have all what you need for self cooking.

The house was clean and spacious. The bedrooms functional but the beds comfortable. The bathrooms were modern and very clean with three showers in total. The outdoor area featured a kickers and there was a small balcony. Overall the kitchen was well equipped. Enough parking on property.

The location is about 20min car drive outside of Kassel and the public transport sparse. We used Minicar to get around if we did not want to use the car (about 25 Euro one way). The interior was functional but not cosy, e.g. there wasn't enough seating opportunities in the living room for all 10 of us to sit and the couches were slightly dated. Overall the kitchen was well equipped but the cutlery, esp. forks were sparse (only 6 for 10 people).

We choosed this place because we meet regularly and come from all parts of Germany (Kiel, Munich, Aachen, Heidelberg). It is central and close to the station, there is even a bus close by. The village is quiet, good for hiking. There are many rooms for sleeping, and there is a big dining and living room where many friends can sit together. And dogs are welcome! I had much conversation by phone with the host, who is very friendly and even arraged a suprise for us, because there was a change in our booking shortly before we arrived.

There is a balcony and even a barbecue, which is great, However, it is not big enough for all people to sit there (we were 9 people). We booked end of September, but the wheather was really nice, and so it would have been nice to have a possibility to stay outside. Also the kitchen in P2 is too small to prepare meal with more than 3 people (and even for 3 it's quite small).
