Great place to spend the night . Not really in Schalkau but actually 5.5km. away in Theuern which can be a bit upsetting when on bicycles . Rode an extra 5.5 km. back the way we came to find the hotel but the place was worth it . …

Rooms at this lovely property are good sized and very well kept. The restaurant onsite does a great job from breakfast to dinner. Service all around was good. I would recommend this for anyone needing a place to call home while in this area.

A pleasant hotel, quietly located!During my business trip I received an amazingly large room as a single guest. The double bed was nice and big, unfortunately the mattress was too soft for me. The bathroom is also a good size with a 1x1m shower also super comfortable for showering! Everything nice and clean!The service in the restaurant was super friendly, something I now find in vain in many catering areas in Germany. Thanks for that!! I can highly recommend the Derän salad with the turkey strips!! Delicious! I'm looking forward to breakfast tomorrow morning and hope that a room will be available for me again in spring 2025. Then I'd love to come back!

The place consists of several districts. There are still a few houses where the hotel is. Can only be reached by car.
