    Pros +

    • Nice area for taking short walks.
    • 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.

    Great location. Excellent breakfast.

    9PavanPosted on: 5-21-2024

    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.

    8MikoPosted on: 4-2-2024

    Very good breakfast.

    Gym-Equipment is a little dated and opening times could start earlier.

    10IevaPosted on: 3-11-2024

    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.

    8RicardoPosted on: 8-14-2023

    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 :)

    10SkunbinPosted on: 8-9-2023

    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.

    8LanezePosted on: 7-19-2023

    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.

    4MelissaPosted on: 7-12-2023

    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

    10KimPosted on: 2-20-2023

    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.

    8ElinPosted on: 12-19-2022

    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!
