Wonderful hotel in Bitche

This hotel provided a great experience. Although the hotel appeared to be run by a single family, the receptionist staff were pleasant and very helpful. The room was comfortable and had modern facilities. The breakfast and dining area provided excellent food. And the view of the citadel of Bitche just across the road was breath-taking. Although conveniently located, the hotel is not in a busy area.

This is an ideal stop over hotel. We stayed here to break our journey from France (Alsace) to Spa (Belguim). The view of the citadel is wonderful. Pleasant staff. The room is fairly basic but is comfortable. The only thing it is lacking are tea making facilities!
