Very courteous lady at the reception but the hotel management doesn't know how to provide guest service. The guest's wishes are ignored. Unfortunately, the kitchen is not recommended. Musty old smell. …

The young lady at the reception was very friendly. Hotel smells very musty and the food is not appealing. Hotel management foregoes service and customer goodwill.

Heart, what more could you want! The best tarte flambée ever, better than in Swabia! Truly first class! Plus a real Viennese schnitzel with fried potatoes and salad!, which would delight any Austrian. Compliments and sincere praise to the kitchen. But the sensation might be that this restaurant with Sky-Live football Bundesliga broadcasts serves 3 different real Augustiner Bräu beers on tap! The oldest brewery in Munich in East Westphalia is quite a sensation! But Augustiner Helles and Augustiner Edelstoff and Augustiner Weissbier on tap in a restaurant is a real rarity, even in Munich and Bavaria. It's a shame that the owners don't point this out on their own homepage! The service from friendly ladies is unobtrusive and perfect. There is also a nice beer garden to sit outside. The children can move around and have enough space to play! Parking spaces directly in front of the door with wall box.

We were there as wedding guests staying overnight.Drink orders were not brought to the tables several times, so at some point you had to go to the counter yourself. The waiters stood around and chatted.The food was partly good, partly inedible (beef roulades like soles), everything was unseasoned and no salt or pepper on the tables. The wedding soup was more of a fatty beef broth that tasted like old fat.Furthermore, the room where the food was was after less than an hour!! closed. So you didn't have the opportunity to get some cheese or something similar in between. Suddenly the employees were all gone. One of the guests then observed them eating the food in an adjoining room. It doesn't work at all!! The wedding couple paid a lot of money for it and couldn't even take leftovers with them for the day after.An additional hour would have cost around €500, even though there were only around 15 guests on site. Billing based on consumption was rejected. Very cheeky in my opinion!The rooms are old but clean.The breakfast buffet was almost empty, even though there was still 1.5 hours left. You had to wait a long time for coffee and even point out that there were no more rolls. Even then, only a few people kept up and three slices of sausage were added instead of filling everything up.I absolutely cannot recommend a celebration on site. Fine for one night with breakfast outside.
