Frequently Asked Questions
Internet / WiFi / WLAN ?
WiFi is free - you will find the Password in your documentation in the apartment.
We have an Vodafone-Cable-Internet-Contract of max. 300 Mbit/s download (30 Mbit/s Upload) for the whole house.
The internetspeed depends on, e.g.:
- your hardware (quality of antenna, wlan-standard, browser and settings, VPN-usage, etc.)
- intensity of usage from all users, of the shared connection
- your location in the house to one of our repeater. The router and repeater are restarting automatically daily at ca. 02:00 or 03:00.
If you need a high-speed-internet for your own, it is possible for you to close a contract with a provider of your choice
(please contact us upfront! glasfibre installation has issues); the apartments have a TV-cable, to connect with a Vodafone-Cable-TV-Internet-Network (instead of the installed Sat-Reciever)
(08/2024 up to max. 1,000 Mbit/s) or as well a telefoneline (not Friedrich) (08/2024 DSL up to max. 16 Mbit/s).
An other option is to use tethering/mobile hotspot on your cellphone; local providers: e.g. https://www.verivox.de/handy/mobilfunkanbieter/.
Telephone options (voice and data)
If you want local phone and mobile internet there are many cell-phone-providers and options in Germany - you might want to search the internet for the best fitting option for
your specific needs.
e.g.: www.mygermanphone.de/carrier-overview/.
Please check the cancelation terms - quite often shops want to sell 2 year contracts (and it might be a big hassle to end it before)! => prepaid could be an easy option!
e.g. Blau.de https://www.blau.de/prepaid-tarife
or Congstar.de
In the streets around us you will find metered parking spaces.
Free parking should be possible in walking distance, ca. 7min, e.g. Augustaallee / Elisabethenbrunnen or Schwedenpfad (right hand side) or in the park house Seedammweg (1km).
It is possible to rent a parking space in a
parking facility in our vicinity, e.g. at the Casino (ca. 600m).
If you choose to have your main residence here your can apply for an anual
"Anwohnerparkausweis"
for a small fee.
Water
The water directly out of the faucet is good quality drinking water (best monitored nutrion in Germany).
In the cure park you will find a lot of different tasting spring waters, which have different health effects and made Bad Homburg famous.
Cannabis, gras, weed consumption
In the spirit of mutual consideration (e.g. odor nuisance), smoking weed/cannabis is not permitted on our premisses.
Please use e.g. the Kurpark for this purpose, and please note the distances to the children's playgrounds/sports facilities
(https://bubatzkarte .de/#17/50.22641/8.62211).
Do we have to bring our own towels and bed sheets?
Generally, we provide for SHORTTERM rentals two small and one big towel per person and bed sheets.
The towels get changed every week and the bed sheets every fortnight. Shorter intervals can be
arranged.
Generally, we do not provide for LONGTERM rentals towels and bed sheets.
We recommend to bring extra bath-towels (and Flipflops!), if you plan to visit the Taunus Therme.
Washing?
The apartments Amalia, Bertha, Dostojewski, Elizabeth, Goethe, Hölderlin and Karl do have washing machines
(electricity- and water consumption in these apartments will be added to your bill).
A dry cleaner is situated about 2 minutes away from our house.
Can we bring pets?
Sorry, generally no pets.
Can I have breakfast in your house?
The apartments have a fully equipped kitchen (depending on the size of the flat, sometimes
as a mini-kitchen nicely built into a cupboard, or else in an extra room) in which you can
provide for yourself. Sorry, we can not supply a breakfast-service, but you can enjoy breakfast in one of the cafés just around the corner.
Is it possible to have an extra bed for our child in the apartment?
Yes of course, you can bring your own or book a travel-baby-bed with us. Please contact us in advance.
Are the apartments suitable for wheelchairs?
The house was built at the end of the nineteenth century and therefore it
was unfortunately not possible to make the apartments wheelchair accessible.
Is there any room-service available?
Sorry, we let apartments and cannot provide a service like a hotel.
This also means, that it is your own responsibility to keep your apartment clean. If you
stay for longer, we can assist you to find a help for cleaning.
