- The staff were very friendly. The restaurant food was fantastic, some of the best I've had in Germany. The breakfast was also good.
- Good facilities, nice clean rooms with a view. Friendly staff. Delicious food. Lovely setting to walk
Cons -
- The room was next to the Elevator. In the hallway near our room was a table soccer game. Under the room was a bowling alley. Above the room was also a loud activity. So, very loud. The bed was extremely hard.
- Nothing!
- Definitely as single bed. I haven't slept on that since I was a child, but it was very comfortable.

Beautiful location in the country. Thr breakfast was delicious.
Definitely as single bed. I haven't slept on that since I was a child, but it was very comfortable.
Great location. Excellent breakfast.
It was not a real double bed. Just two singles that were not fixed together.
Property location and cleanliness
Mattress were not at all comfortable had a troubled sleep
Very nice hotel with everything you need
Swimming pool was freezing no air condition in the room
Garden, rooms, pool and amazing breakfast
the beds were withered worn out or toosoft in the middle so couldn’t sleep well and woke up with backache. this took vLue formoney down.
Friendly staff. The rooms were big enough and it was comfortable for us. Hotel had a good breakfast menu. Pool and Sauna were relaxing.
Hotel location is better accessed by Car. No Supermarket/Restaurants near by.
Very good breakfast.
Gym-Equipment is a little dated and opening times could start earlier.
Everything was excellent. I can suggest this hotel to others. We would like to stay there again. Breakfast was perfect, the stuff was excellent. Very clean and comfortable.
nice hotel 30 minutes from Hannover in the middle of countryside with nice pool and nice restaurant.all kind ladies at breakfast and dinner.rooms are big and clean , next fair we will come here again for sure.
Everything as expected while booking the room. The wellness suite is very good for intense relaxation moments. We didn’t event go do the wellness area. We had a steam sauna and a whirlpool inside the room :)
Superfriendly staff, a few kilometers from the autobahn so its quiet which is important us to get a good nights sleep.Great buffé style breakfast with alot of choices.
Spacious rooms, excellent food and friendly service from staff. The swimming pool was lovely.
There were no massages available (this was not indicated when we booked) and part of the reason we booked was to treat ourselves to spa treatments.
The hotel is located close to the highway. The breakfast was good with a variety of foods.
Our room smelled like skunk or weed. It was hot and uncomfortable. There is no air conditioning, the decor is old and the only ventilation is a small window. You have to choose between safety or comfort- during the warm summer months you have to sleep with the balcony door open with no screens or sweat in your room.
Great location, friendly staff, nice restaurant
I know that AC is not something that is very common in German hotels but when it is 30 degrees outside, the warmth is unbearable. I would recommend the hotel to put a fan in each room at least
Nice and clean. Great spa ! Friendly service.
Extra beds were no good. Our “third” child in the two rooms with a - paid for - extra bed, had to sleep in the double beds with our two other children - making that three children (also grown ups) in one double bed.
A nice Hotel in beautiful surroundings. Close to the road (A7), but still on the countryside. Very friendly staff. We booked with 30 min planning because we were on the road from Switzerland to Sweden. Great breakfast! We did not use the spa, but next time ?Pets allowed!
Nice size rooms, with comfortable beds, nice view to the gardens
Pillows on the soft side. Wifi is useless.
