customer reviews

A great starting point for visits to the Ballenberg Open-Air Museum (accessible by bus or on foot in 3/4 hours).
A fantastic and very varied 4-course dinner menu. Friendly and flexible service.

We felt right at home at the hotel from the moment we were welcomed. The little touches—like a name tag at the dining table and the hotel’s accommodating approach to dietary restrictions—made our vacation very enjoyable. We’d especially like to highlight the very clean rooms, comfortable beds, and excellent food. The menu, featuring regional dishes and fresh herbs, is a culinary delight of the highest order. We’d love to come back.

We stayed for 10 days—it was really nice: delicious food, friendly staff, clean rooms
All around satisfied

We stayed at this hotel for 5 days. The rooms were okay, the staff was nice, and the breakfast was plentiful. The dinner menu was amazing—I highly recommend it to everyone.

Very friendly staff. Parking in front of the hotel. Delicious breakfast. We highly recommend the dinner—it’s heavenly and consists of a four-course meal featuring unique, sometimes reimagined, high-quality dishes. There’s a bus stop right in front of the hotel, and it’s just three stops to the train station.
