Nice rural location. Very spacious room, nicely furnished with good bathroom. Fantastic restaurant
Can’t fault it - we liked everything
The bathrooms were exceptional! The overhead shower was providing plenty of hot water, and the temperature controller could be overridden (> 40 degrees if needed). Nice experience!
The staff were great, even calling to check to see if I was ok as I was much later than I had said I would be. I got an upgrade to a lovely room. Parking was great, restaurant was very accommodating with very nice food.
Nothing. There is nothing negative I can say about my visit.
Nice, large And clean room, Fast WiFi, very friendly staff. Good but kind of basic breakfast. Very calm place outside city.Overall, if I go again to Heidelberg, I will stay here.
Little top soft bed. But this is personal, others may feel it differently.
Immaculate condition, very friendly staff, excellent breakfast, short detour off route Switzerland to rotterdam in a great rural location
Although specified in the description our room didn't have a balcony but this didn't distract from our stay
Beautiful place tucked away with a friendly family with excellent recommendations for eating out.The restaurant unfortunately was not available
No lift in the annexe
Simple place, enough for couple of nights. Located outside of the city with nice restaurant and good parking options.
room was a bit old fashion and not really comfy
Location was relaxing ans the room was clean
Related restaurant was closed for a wedding the evening we were there.
Hotel is situated on a field away from busy road, so it’s quiet. We came later so our keys were waiting for us at the box. Breakfast had various options for each taste. Rooms are spacious, clean and cosy.
Matresses and pillows are extremely soft and don’t give your body the support it needs - sleeping was not comfortable.

Would not use this property again.
This is the first time using Booking.Com that the room I thought I reserved was not what the Hotel had ready. There was a clear language issue. My profile has me as a USA citizen (English speaking) and I travel with my wife. They had a single room reserved. They adjusted it for another 50 Euro. I paid it but that was very customer unfriendly. Also they sent me a message in German which I could not read. We arrived and were told the restaurant was closed (On a Wednesday Night). They said the sent me a message. Again costomer unfriendly. I reserved this place because it was surrounded by farm land, has free parking on site, showed a nice two person bed and had a restaurant. Well we received half of what we thought we reserved.
The staff was very nice and kind. The room was clean and comfortable.Breakfast was delicious, many options and nice dining room. Since hotel is a bit out of city, it is very quiet.
It was a bit hard to find it,
So the staff were nice enough and the hotel itself is nice looking, modern and very clean. The rooms lacked a bit, no fridge, no air con no tea and coffee fasciitis which wouldn't be a problem if you could get something nearby but no. This hotel is pretty much outside the town with nothing around, which was why I picked it. After a long drive I decided I wanted somewhere that had an on site restraunt and bar. I could check in, shower, change and relax with a meal and a drink only to arrive and be told the restraunt is closed on a Wednesday. There is no mention of this at all on the booking.com site. They gave me a couple of suggestions in town to try which were also shut. After walking around town for a bit I eventually found somewhere but this wasn't in my plan and obviously couldn't have wine with my meal as I had to drive. Disappointing!!! Also this is personal but my mattress was way too soft. Not saying it's a bad hotel just lots of little things let you down.Breakfast was lovely.

Outside the city but not far from the city.
The road in front of the hotel was quite busy with farm vehicles. In the evening the farmers worked till late, so it was quite noisy. When we stayed there, the transported material was manure, so it didn't smell well when we sat on the balcony. But in general the hotel is all right. Furthermore, I wish there was a kettle in the room for making a cup of tea.
Beautiful family owned hotel complex. Very clean.The staff was friendly and helpful. The restaurant was delicious!
The extreme smoky smell in our non-smoking room was most unpleasant. We would have appreciated a small fan in our rooms.
Nice, clean and comfortable.
A wedding was taking place on the day of our arrival and we were told that the restaurant would be closed to host a private function which is fair enough I get that this isn't an every day thing so don't mind going somewhere else for food but there was no access to the bar of any kind, my son and I got back late after a concert and I asked if we could get some water and a beer to take to the room so as not to disturb the ongoing celebration and was told that they couldn't do that. As a guest of the hotel I don't understand how they can simply refuse service because they are hosting a wedding. Not great.
