Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Spent a weekend cycling around in the area, so the hotel was our base. The hotel is split up into both rooms and flats spread out several buildings. Our room was quite OK for our use. Nothing big and fancy at all, but there was a bed to sleep in. The cleaning was lacking a bit, though. There were dead beasties lying about in the corners. The food at the hotel was also quite OK. Probably not Michelin standard, but tasty and there was plenty of it.”
“Awesome hotel with tasty food, very professionell and friendly staff and a rustic ambience which fits nicely with the Harz mountains”
