Excellent hotel with the friendliest staff

My husband and I stayed here for 5 days with our two dogs. The room was spacious and had plenty of cupboard space. The dogs were welcomed by the staff with bags of cookies and were able to stay with us in public areas. There’s both a large outdoor car park and an underground secure car park. Wi-fi is available throughout the hotel and gardens. It’s in a really nice little village, everyone is friendly and helpful. The only reason I didn’t grade the facilities 5* is that I didn’t use the spa so I don’t know what it’s like. If it’s anything like the rest of the hotel I’m sure it’s great.

Nice from the outside, not so nice on the inside! The hotel buildingd look very nice, almost Castle-like and it is situated a nice little old town in a nice area. However, inside the room I got was not very nice,- oldish furniture, not very clean, there was a not very nice, old dusty smell to the room. Breakfast was not really attractive, so I decided to have breakfast at another restaurant. Cannot recommend the hotel.

Hotel with friendly staffs

Everything was alright, not great but just okay. Staffs were friendly, hotel location not bad (near some shops and restaurants), quite convenient to walk about a little bit. Room was fine, decent size but the pillow was terrible (exceptionally soft!). Room has no bedroom slippers, no toothbrush.

Business hotel in quiet Neighbourhood

Typical business hotel in a quiet Neighbourhood. Within minutes to shops and restaurants. Free wifi in public areas and guest rooms. Friendly staffs. One major complain we have is the pillow, which is extremely soft and very uncomfortable. No toothbrush and bedroom slippers.

Spacious clean apartment style rooms

Was happy to stay in a clean modern hotel without steps... Lift which carried luggage and people...together! Rooms were clean and modern with a mezzanine style bedroom (which would not be good if you had a mobility problem, so check first) The breakfast was excellent as were the breakfast attendants. I would ask all German Hotels to provide extra pillows in the rooms, as the really soft, one European pillow per person, is not we are used to. A porter for luggage might be a welcome addition, but not a bother to us. No fuss check in at short notice.
