Nice hotel with large rooms with balconies.The only thing that can be criticized is the choice of food for vegetarians.We paid €27 for the evening buffet with our conference and the only main course was pasta in cheese sauce. I find the ratio disproportionate despite the salad and dessert.For everyone else there was Kassler with sauerkraut, fish and chicken with croquettes.

We were here for the second time this weekend, but not the last. We felt very comfortable and warmly welcomed. Starting from the very nice reception, to the clean, cozy room with a perfect balcony, the beautiful pool, the pleasant relaxation and sauna area, to the very, very good food: large selection and very tasty. Every single hotel employee was very friendly.

Clean, nice, large room, unfortunately without a view. Doesn't matter.Unfortunately there was only a buffet in the evening. But it was okay. Service was probably a bit overwhelming. Wine bottle was placed on the table but not opened. The Swiss Army knife was also on the journey.Parking was available and dogs are allowed.The sunset was gorgeous.

A cozy hotel in a country house style that immediately exudes a family flair. Everything you need for a comfortable stay is here.Many rooms have been newly renovated, wellness with sauna and indoor pool, outdoor log cabin sauna, bowling alleys, billiard room, table football. The hotel bar has exquisite drinks available, the restaurant is flooded with light and the attached winter garden offers a very nice view of the well-kept garden. Our special thanks go to Isabelle Hunfeld, who showed us around the house and explained everything interesting. That was just great. Many thanks on behalf of the Goldwing Federation GermanyThomas "Thommy" AltmannChief Technology Officer

Definitely worth 4 stars for us.We always enjoy coming to the Best Western Hotel near Poppenhausen. We relax from stressful everyday life 3 to 4 times a year. The hotel is beautifully located in the forest, below the Wasserkuppe. And this view is breathtaking. Above all, we enjoy the silence and going for a walk at dusk and listening to the different animals.The hotel is a very old building and needs repairs or overhauls here and there but is gradually being renovated. The bathrooms have been renovated. Great big shower and very clean. The rooms are also a dream. Everything is clean and towels and bathrobes are available. Shower gel, hairdryer, kettle, tea, coffee and cups, 1 bottle of water with glasses, TV... everything is available.My wish would be a small refrigerator... but this is not absolutely necessary with half board. Breakfast and dinner are simply a pleasure. In the evening there is something for everyone and varied.The swimming pool is my absolute relaxation room. Of course there are children there during the holiday season, but it is also a family hotel. The highlight is the outside sauna. You just have to enjoy it. In the evenings you are warmly welcomed in the bar and there are community games on site. Billiards, bowling and darts are also available and the staff are always attentive and very friendly. The reception staff are very friendly and helpful. Arrivals and departures go smoothly.One small thing that bothers me personally is the outdoor area. This should be cared for a little more, that would emphasize the idyll a little more and appear friendlier. Especially in the entrance area. But I know from the staff that some changes are still planned. In any case, this hotel is highly recommended. Here you will find peace, relaxation and hikers will get their money's worth here. As this is a hiking paradise.We definitely enjoy coming back again and again and can highly recommend it. And let's be honest, where is it perfect... and this hotel is working at full speed to change and improve a lot of things.

That's going to be a long review, bear with me.First, very pleasant receptionists that WALK YOU TO YOUR ROOM (doesn't exist anywhere else in 2024, oh, yes, when you fly Lufthansa in First so that you have a base for comparison). Off to a great start. + Surprised by the luxurious lobby.We usually pass on diner in hotels but being near Bavaria, I guessed this was the right time to try German food. We weren't disappointed for a bit. PORK ROULADEN. Honestly ate way too much of them I wasn't even hungry the next morning and skipped breakfast. I could seriously drive the 1050 km back to Germany just for these.I was furthermore vastly impressed as for they actually set a table for you at diner and breakfast with your NAME printed on it.This is next-level consideration towards guests. I've never seen this anywhere and guess this isn't taught in your regular hospitality school but rather in a very renowned one (Switzerland ?)Our waitress was actually dressed like a classy waitress, that, as well, is long gone everywhere else. I have no hesitation saying this is a 5***** service. Well done, please keep it this way for as long as you can.The night is very affordable. The breakfast is fairly priced. Diner is expensive but worth it.I think this is going to be my German stop for every roadtrip I may undertake in the future.Parking isn't free but considering the night's price, fair enough.The rooms aren't renovated but they have typical German style, that's the hotel identity along with the architecture of the building so I don't mind. Bathrooms are renovated and they're perfectly clean and modern.Environment is green grass and forests. Top notch quietness. Love this.Roads leading to the hotel were probably redone recently, the car glides on them like a flying carpet. Would love to have those at home...I write this for every review in Germany, but everything is so close to perfection in this country that's surreal to me in the best way possible.Downsides :- No A/C, it is a very wet climate especially when it rains. I am really used to A/C everywhere so that's tough. But I slept anyway so it wasn't to a point where you can't sleep.- Housekeeping should really learn not to slam doors on the morning (guests don't do that so...), that's irritating to say the least and easily improved.
