We chose the hotel for our short vacation.The first impression was good. We were warmly welcomed after a short detour.It was a real shame that the bar and restaurant were closed for the long term due to damage (which was not noted anywhere). Unfortunately that meant no breakfast and no food on site.The positive thing is that dogs are also very welcome, and our mice were greeted nicely and were taken into consideration when choosing a room.Another positive thing is that the rooms are very large. Our bathroom has also been renovated.What's very unpleasant is that the slat covering on the windows in the bathroom is broken and the houses on the other side of the street could look into our shower (we had to get very creative).Furthermore, the heating in the bedroom is broken. However, it works perfectly in the bathroom. When we asked the rental company, they only said that the heating was working. Unfortunately, the cold heating and the cold room say something different.Furthermore, there are many small, unsightly details in our rooms: missing skirting boards, different skirting boards, thick gaps in the laid floor, cables sticking out of the ceiling...We have nothing against rustic or older facilities, but all of the shortcomings make us want to leave today instead of tomorrow.It's a shame if the vacation ends like this.

Very nice and courteous staff. The rooms are very large and clean, but are showing their age. A renovation would be appropriate here. Bathroom is not heated. An overnight stay while passing through is quite ok.

Unfortunately I can only report on the service here.Had booked a room and when we wanted to check in, we were unfortunately informed that there was a burst water pipe.At that point we had already been accommodated in another hotel, got the key to the room and everything had been sorted out.The service is therefore top.Unfortunately I can't say anything about the room

During my bike ride on the R1 from Berlin, I arrived here soaking wet from the rain.I was warmly welcomed in this simple hotel.The room was spacious with a lovely shower. The whole is a bit dated, but the price/quality ratio is correct.The bicycle could be kept in the garage.The food was simple but tasty.The service was friendly and pleasant. No excessive cleanliness.The hotel is not far from the R1 cycle route. The supermarket is 150m away. A great starting point for the next day.
