I have been many times to the restaurant and we had friends and family staying in the hotel. Never had a bad experience. The food is exceptionally good. Last I had venison...yummy.  …

The owners were just fabulous to us during our stay. It is a quaint hotel in the small town of Salzhausen. The breakfast each morning was THE BEST. They had so many things to choose from, it was unreal. …

After a cruise we enjoyed several nights at Ruter's Hotel. It was absolutely outstanding. ||Everyone there was so friendly and outgoing and provided exceptional customer service. The food was delightful and the staff was helpful with German translations (on the menu). I definitely would recommend this as a place to stay.

Stayed here for a week as my daughter was riding in a horse competition nearby. The hotel is perfect for Luhmuelen - just a short drive or cycle ride if you rent a bike from the shop on the main road ( 6 Euro per day). …

Very cozy hotel with a lot of history and charm. New wing about to open, including an indoor pool. Nice bier garten and restaurant. Good food and service. Limited assortment of wines, but good for biers. Ok price level. Parking just outside. No wifi, appearantly. Close to Hamburg and A7.

On first impressions the hotel seemed a bit dated. The rooms were extremely hot making it hard to sleep, a small fan did nothing to ease the heat. …

If you need a place to sleep in Salzhausen close to Hamburg you should stay at Rüter’s. The rooms are nice and clean and have really nice bathrooms.||The biergarten is fantastic even though it is close to the road. …
