Relatively old hotel in the 3 country city, Weil am Rhein. Friendly staff and nice rooms, only downside is that the airco isn't working well (it starts only after 20 minutes with the cold airflow and is not able to cool the room at maximum capacity). Beds are fine, as are the pillows. Bathroom is very basic, but the shower has good pressure. Breakfast is without a doubt great, all tastes fresh and there's a huge diversity to choose from. All together, we'd love to come back here some day!

Rooms are basic, but clean and comfortable. Ideal if you're looking for a comfy bed and filling breakfast (with many choices) when on the road. Close to the highway, big parking lot and all in all, great value for money. The takeaway coffee in the lounge is a nice touch

I used the hotel for 1 night when travelling from Italy to the Netherlands by car.Room was disgusting. It smelled real funky. Many stains on the carpet. Dried up nose boogers smeared on walls. Blood spatters on lamp shades. Curtains had weird and gross discoloration.Headboard had disgusting stains from many previous guests heads.Sheets and pillows were clean though. Bed and pillow were comfortable.Bathroom looked like it was last renovated in the 70/80. The water pressure was way too high.The AC did not work so I had to get the window open but the fountain outside was way too loud to sleep comfortably. It was on the entire night.It was also really noisy trough the entire night. I could hear people talk all around me even though I was on the 5th floor. It kept me awake.I also heard the road very well and it also kept me awake.Breakfast was good. A lot of options. Everything I had tasted good.I was with 4 other people and we had 3 rooms and we all had the similar experience.

Great location near the highway and just at the border with Switzerland but still on the German side. Prices are much better than in Switzerland and they have 24/7 desk do no issue when we drive through to go to italy also if we arrive at night. Room is clean and the bed comfortable. Given the price the hotel rooms are out of date and tv had no extra channels than the regional german ones, but no issue if you just have to sleep there. Breakfast is included and there is an abundant buffet. The machine even has the milkfoam option for the small ones that is a detail but it makes the day of our little one.

If you like brutalist design and always wanted to go back straight to the 80’s? This is your chance! Every thing In this hotel is dated and dirty. There was one pillow full of bloodstains on the bed.
