Very nice small "hotel". It's location in Einruhr couldn't be better. Our room (balcony room) was nice, clean and bright, with its own bathroom. Owners were flexible with regards to our late arrival. Hotel also has a bike storage room, which comes in handy.Would recommend and will be coming again if we are in the area.

The worst ever hotel experience: I've never seen a more rude host/manager like this. The room was clean but that is the only positive thing to say about this place, the owner/manager is the most un-welcoming person I have met in all the hotels in the world...He looks annoyed when you ask a question and he is plain rude/very unpleasant the rest of the time. Looks like he hates his job and the world

A basic but good hotel. The staff is very kind. Breakfast was very good, including the take-away lunch. The room was clean. Only negative point was the shower. It is in the room and also not that great. However, for one or two nights, or when walking the wilderness trail, a good hotel. Good quality for the price you have to pay.

Our hotel didn' t have a la carte choice so we decided to look for a local restaurant. We landed in Hotel restaurant "Am Obersee". The room looks cosy and clean 4/5. The service, done by the owner, friendly, guiding and efficient. …

Little hotel with no more then seven rooms operated by a very friendly dutch couple. Our room was basic but very clean and also important, especially after a long day of hiking, had comfortable beds. Breakfast in the morning was just plain good. Value for your money.
