Great hotel, perfectly located for hikes and other activities. The staff is friendly and helpful. We also have special requests in the program, such as a bouquet of flowers for the wife in the room :-)We will definitely come back.

Been there twice now and definitely not the last time. Nice little hotel. Nice staff, great location. You can even sleep with the window open at night facing the street. Breakfast is available in the Vienna Woods next door and is very good. The staff there is also very attentive and friendly. Well, in bad weather you have to go from one building to another. But that will definitely be compensated for locally. The Harz Tower right next door is also worth a visit. Thanks for the nice weekend.

Very nice hotel. We had the rooms with a chunky view. Highly recommended! There is a nice fitness room and two saunas. The lounge area here is a bit small, but there is still a small terrace in summer.You can eat in the Vienna Woods next door or in the Bavaria Alm. The breakfast was good. The service friendly there. The dinner table was also good.We would book it again.

Very nice houses with sauna and fireplace. The breakfast wasn't that great, there could be a larger selection and more things for vegans. The scrambled eggs come from a tube and don't taste good at all. Here it would be better to make fresh eggs.

The Kuschel Lodge is very suitable if you are traveling with a baby and the baby sleeps in the bed because it only has a bathtub there, which is ideal with a child.A few hiking trails are directly accessible, including the family-friendly and beautiful Torfhaus circuit.

We were there as a couple and it still cost 600 euros for two nights. You don't come in until 4 p.m., but you have to be out by 10. It can also be done faster with an additional charge of 50 euros. It's very expensive, but the houses are very nice.

Super friendly and helpful staff. Very well furnished houses. Despite bad weather, you can enjoy lovely evenings by the fireplace. The only point of criticism is that the pan in the kitchen equipment is too small.

I can only recommend the peat house. Very nice and courteous staff and a beautiful area next to the Brocken.Since I was there on business, I wasn't able to explore as much of the area.There are three meeting rooms. Small, medium, large. We were medium-sized and had no unfulfilled wishes.I'm looking forward to seeing you again.

We felt very comfortable. It is an excellent starting point for hikes in the Harz. With the fireplace you can make yourself comfortable even in bad weather. …
