We stayed one week at this hotel this February. It was a nice hotel however, we selected this hotel regarding the 5 stars and the good recommendations of the kitchen/restaurant. The room was very simple, no shower only a bath with no curtains around. for showering so every morning we had to go to the poolside and sauna for showering because showering in our room was a mess and very difficult to shower in only a small bath. We had dinner in the restaurant and selected the menu. That was really a disappointment! The meandish was a combination of potatoes creme, sauce, some vegetables and pieces of chicken. All together and stapled at one plate. We didn't have any diner there after. The breakfast was all-right however where the 5-stars came from, we really don't know. We're traveling a lot in Europe and Turkey and the 5-stars we've seen are much more better than this one. So, 4 stars is more than enough for this hotel. The personal /Staff was very friendly and professional.

No aircondition, be ready to eat breakfast early - if you want to choose from everything.

Nice & quiet location. Friendly staff and excellent food, especially the surprise 3 course dinner. The hotel is also dog friendly, and you can bring your dog in the restaurant at dinner time.

If you are lucky you could enjoy your dinner at the terrace looking out on the pond where fish are jumping and a view of the nice village on the other side. We enjoyed the asparagus, but having spent the evening before in the heart of Burgundy the comparison was tuff...

Everything about staying in this hotel was wonderful. That includes pre - arrival communications. The hotel manager right through to housekeeping were delightful and extremely helpful. I recommend making dinner reservations so you can sit right by the water - it's just delightful. I can also recommend using one of the hotel bikes to explore the area or take a packed lunch pack and go for a hike. The Suites next to the lake are amazing - can highly recommend staying in one of those, enables you to enjoy a meal and glass of wine on your private balcony.

We had a mini break (6 days) in this excellent hotel and really enjoyed our time there. The facilities (pool and three saunas) were great, as was the breakfast buffet. Staff were friendly and helpful. We enjoyed roaming the village and went on a local forest walk past the Castle and two monasteries. Beautiful views. There are many attractions close to Ilsenburg (within 30 m) which are worth visiting, e.g the UNESCO World Heritage site Quedlinburg with its 2069 medieval houses and churches, and the city of Goslar. Wernigerode is also beautiful, and you can take a small train from there to go to the Brocken, the highest "mountain" (just over 1100 metres) in the area. We did not run out of places we wanted to see. The area is great for hiking and it is possible to rent all sorts of bikes.

We had two very comfortable nights stay with a four year old. It was family friendly, breakfast was very well catered and the staff were attentive. Views over the lake were good, although our room didn't have the best view. The spa was excellent too.

A very comfortable hotel,spotlessly clean with friendly and helpful staff. A picturesque setting and a good restaurant.

Personnel was friendly, the food was great and surrounding area is beautiful. Our only concern was the size of the room and the size of the towels. The latter, however, is a national complaint and not specific to this hotel.
