More about the hotel
Great Family Run Hotel and Restaurant!
Arrived after hours and the Owner came out and carried my bag up 2 flights of stairs. Room was very spacious and bathroom had a nice bathtub as well as shower. The room had a small sitting room with a TV. We had an extra room with a single bed if there were 3 of us. Wood floors and bedding was good. Over all very clean. Breakfast the next morning was great and they make your eggs to order. They spoke English very well and they have family in the US. Close to the little downtown area and within walking distance to the Church in the Rock and the Oberstein Castle. The lady at the Mineral Museum helped us find where are distant family lived. We had dinner there and ate their delicious Spiessbraten cooked on the wood fire. We had a beef and a pork steak. It was so great. We will be coming back here next year!
Friendly Owners - Overall an OK Experience
We arrived on a very cold and dark night and were helped immediately by the friendly owner (parking lot, restaurant selection). The hotel is constructed in the local traditional style and full of atmosphere. The room (#1) was very spacious yet quite cold, even after turning on the heating. The bed was very good. The bathroom was very small and even colder but everything you needed was there. The curtains in the main room were not wide enough, so think about that when going from the shower directly into the main room ;-). The church bells were ringing every half hour during the night - not very loud, but you may want to use earplugs. The hotel is very close to the historical centre of the town, so sufficient restaurants were nearby. Parking was possible in front of the hotel. Check out if you need to use the blue parking card. Breakfast in the morning was good. The owner prepares your eggs in the way you want them. Overall an OK experience at a low price. However, next time I will first try to find a better hotel here.
Centrally located & good value
Equivalent to a B&B, I had a room on the top (3rd) floor which was well maintained and clean with a nice view along the street and a view of the church in the rock, however it was also close to the main road into town so there's alot of traffic noise even with the windows closed. There's wifi but it was rather cumbersome to log in for more than the limited initial 30 mins but free access is available. Breakfast was as you would expect in such a place in Germany - cereal, meats, cheese, rolls, yogurts etc so no complaints. The restaurant itself seemed to have very limited opening days and times (certainly when I visited in early June) but there are plenty of others within a 32 minute walk. Free parking is available about 300 metres away. Relatively comfortable stay and good value.
Great hotel
I spent over 20 days in this hotel last year in Aug. The only negative thing I would say is that there was no A/C in the hotel; however this is common and I knew this because I spent six years in Germany while I was in the Army. It was a record breaking year for high temps last year but there was a fan in the room. The food at the hotel and within a two minute walking distance was awesome. The breakfast was fresh, they make their own bread right before breakfast is served. Beautiful area if you like to walk or hike, there is an old church built into the rock wall behind the hotel and a castle up above it as well, it took me about 20 min to walk all the way up. Enjoy!
Comfortable, clean & great location.
Spend a couple of nights in this friendly, family run hotel. It was on Business & the Hotel was perfect for my Needs. The room was spotless with all the things needed to make it a very comfortable stay. Location is perfect, right in the middle of this lovely old town. Car parking is a short walk Away. There is no lift in this hotel so there are a few stairs to climb, but not a problem really. They provided a decent breakfast with great coffee. Best thing about this Hotel Was the price, it is excellent value for money.
