Lage am Wald zum wandern und verweilen
Restaurant verfügbar mit außergewöhnlich leckerem Essen und top Service (Abendessen a la carte)
Unfreundliches Frühstückspersonal
Frühstücksbuffet (Aufbackbrötchen & harte Baguette Brot, keine Trennung zwischen Wurst und Käse für Vegetarier, Beschriftung passte nicht, verwässerter O-Saft) der Preis ist nicht gerechtfertigt
Starker unangenehmer Geruch im Wellness- und Relaxbereich
Schimmelbildung an der Einrichtung im Dampfbad und in den Duschen

Comfortable bed & balcony with lovely view. Tea/coffee in room. Excellent restaurant & great breakfast. We also took advantage of the packed lunch when cycling. Top location near Externsteine.

Very good, well cooked, presented and plenty of it.
Unfortunately the room service advertised for food etc did not exist, big minus in my book! Not only the not having it available but the claiming they did !! Not really their fault but we also had limited water supplies for 3 days we were there due to a problem they were working on, not good not even being able to flush the toilet but one of those things and they were trying to fix it as quick as possible.

Directly across Hermansweg towards Externsteine... swimming pool and sauna... good restaurant and breakfast... Room had what probably wasn't supposed to be a stripper-pole... but it had a giant pipe next to the bed from floor to ceiling... suggesting anyone move the table a bit to the side would of course never cross my mind but the markings on the carpet suggest we might not be the first to wonder about the possibilities!
Curtains could be thicker and the giant bathroom of the deluxe double room with bath and shower could have better obscuring layers on the windows... only 75% covered and at night the semi transparent foil was a bit more revealing that comfortable... but if aware of it not really an issue
3.5
Location near the walking trails and breakfast was good. Room was quiet and beds were good.
Dinner. Dined there two times and two times it wasn't well cooked. The waiter absolutely did the best he could, the cook absolutely not.
4.5
great location, we could start hiking straight from hotel.
staff was very friendly and helpful. The swimmingpool was a nice extra which we enjoyed. lovely view from balcony.
guest below our room were smoking on balcony, so we had to sleep with windows and door closed. not something the hotel did wrong, but non-smoking room should also apply on balcony

It was suitably placed as we were driving from Berlin to Calais and needed to find a quiet location.
3.5
Well, it was a transit stay, the food was nice, but only nice, nothing special. As English speaker the staff did not engaged much with us, kind of what you want, eat and buzz off.
The pool is disappointed, the whole wellness section wasn't great.
Definitely not value for money, overpriced for what you get if you ask me.

Very cold 🥶. As if there was no Heating. Old bilding. Very bad isolation.

breakfast
3.5
Friendly staff. Good location.
The hotel is pretty expensive for the conditions it was on... there is no hot water during the night, we arrived from a wedding and wanted a warm shower but it was ice cold.
Also the breakfast was very very basic for the price they were charging I was expecting it to have more options and also people would use the tables and they wouldn't be cleaned afterwards, so we had to sit in another room far away from the buffet.
The decoration is old and old fashioned, with stained carpets at the restaurant. Double doors in the rooms for no reason .

Breakfast, location and staff were all perfect.
Dinner was good, but very little card.
