A very peaceful place within walking distance to a nice restaurant. The room was big and airy and very clean. Free sparkling water on the table. It took us a while to understand that there were two codes; one for each one of our devices... The breakfast offered a large variety of food and we liked the friendly service. Recommended!

I liked the location, the service, the breakfast and the room.Quietly located, absolutely relaxing, I think.The St. Georg social work was founded in 1952. It enables people who need assistance to lead a self-determined life.The Old School building in Recklinghausen-Speckhorn dates from 1902.The St. Georg Social Works is the sponsor of this friendly hotel in which I felt comfortable.

We booked the entire accommodation for a large family celebration in the area and all guests had a wonderful stay.The special atmosphere of the house surrounded by old trees and the great people who work there convinced everyone to come here again.We can only rave...From the beginning with the first contact months ago to the great help with advice and support in the last few weeks to the indescribably friendly service from ALL the hard-working hands of the old school.Once again, we would like to thank you all for your support. This family celebration will remain in our fond memories forever.Kind regardsHoffinger family

The guest house is very quiet, in the middle of meadows and fields, but still central. You can reach the city center of Recklinghausen within 10 minutes and the motorway is not far either. …
