Pros +
- Overall the hired staff was friendly. The restaurant food was good, we had a meal there when first arriving and the friendly front desk person managed to get us a meal even though the kitchen had just closed. The building itself was good and represented the ethnic Gasthaus feeling we were hoping for.
- Nice restaurant in the hotel. Unfortunately it closed at 22 o'clock. Food was very nice, staff friendly. The hotel was very busy that weekend.
- Bathroom was clean, shower water was ok, towels and beddings was also spotless.
Cons -
- The owner was very unfriendly, unhelpful, gave you the feeling you were only there to get the money. She was either unknowledgeable about the area for best spots to go for canel tours or just unwilling to engage in any conversation about the area in general even when speaking German. She did not make us feel welcome at all. The church across the street rang its bell on the hour, half hour, and every 15 minute interval so if looking to sleep in it’s not the place to go.
- Breakfast was a bit underwhelming. Our room had the bell tower from the church opposite the street and that woke us up at 7 on a Sunday.
- We got not the room as advertised in the pictures before the booking. The rooms shown in the pictures looked totally different. Ein Betrug!

Very nice and pleasant staff. Good breakfast. The room is spacious and clean.
Friendly staff nice area
No lift two flights of stairs
Its a simple guesthouse with basic facilities. We enjoyed the easy access to Spreewald by bike. Breakfast was good and the dinner menu looked ok too. Room was clean and the small shower room was modern and clean.
The bed was pretty uncomfortable as a couple. The mattresses kept pushing apart and someone ends up sleeping in the gap.
The staff were very friendly and flexible. We had arrived after the kitchen had closed (we also booked about 30 minutes before we arrived, the manager returned to the hotel to check us in as checkin had closed at 20 and we arrived at 2010). She then went out of her way to get us something to eat and drink and to make sure that we had good rooms to stay in. The rooms were basic but cosy and comfortable, well maintained and spotless and the shower was really nice. The blankets were a little thin (not cold though) and a bit too short for some of my companions (tall Dutch people). I am sure they would have fixed this if we had asked for help, but we didn't as we were super tired and arrived late. Breakfast was excellent and not expensive. Staff spoke both German and English. The stay was inexpensive.The theming of the hotel is Herbs and Herbology, it smelled very pleasant and felt clean, light and inviting. The surroundings were beautiful.
We should have asked for an extra blanket. But that was completely on us.
Coziness, comfort, good cuisine, friendly staff
The hotel's location was good; it was close to the Burg and convenient for walking around with a dog.
The room was very smelly. Despite opening the window every time, the air didn't seem to change at all. Additionally, I noticed a stark contrast between the room pictured and the room I actually received; they looked completely different, which was quite misleading. Lastly, the breakfast had limited choices and was quickly emptied.
Herbs.
Parking. Breakfast was average.
Village is nice
Waiting for the check in was long, no one was at stand, we had to call by phone and lady drives from other village. In the same time there was a stuff in the restaurant but they were ignoring us, so it was about 30 minutes awaiting for the check in.
We only stayed for 1 night, on our way to the ferry. I phoned ahead and asked of they had any baby cots available for our baby. They did(but the bed had no mattress, i had to put some blankets beneath our baby so it was not so hard). Very nice location, good breakfast, rather comfortable bed
A few minuses, starting with the staff that do not speak ANY English.It really needs an update for the rooms. I can not say it is a good value for money hotel, we have stayed in better looking hotels with breakfast included, at cheaper price. But for one night it was ok. It did not bother US ( because we have small children and wake up early) but there is a church near, and they ring the bell very early.
The hotel was quite empty and not so noisy
The buffet was not worth the price
Good
There was no change on registration desk, that is ridiculous for Germany where everyone pay by cash
Pleasant accommodation during our trip to the North. We had an opportunity to hire bikes for short round trip.
I don’t recall.
