You can recommend the hotel with a clear conscience. The hotel is quietly located next to a castle ruin. The rooms are well equipped and clean. The breakfast is also sufficient.There is a playground next door for the children and the market is a quick walk away.The hotel is ideally located for exploring the surrounding area.

As a couple we only stayed one night in this very family hotel. A wedding celebration was the reason to look for good accommodation in the area.We were 100% satisfied! The room is relatively simply furnished, but extremely clean! Here you could simply fall into bed when you were tired and feel good. The bed linen was very comfortable and extremely clean.The toilet, sink and shower also gave absolutely no reason to complain.The breakfast buffet also impressed us. Various rolls with various spreads and toppings rounded off our good impression. The choice of drink was coffee or tea. The lady was very attentive and was open to requests, as a sign made clear. But that didn't apply to us because we were completely satisfied.If we are invited to Bodelwitz again, this hotel will be our address again. Maybe by the silver wedding anniversary at the latest.

The hotel is very quiet, but the city center can still be reached quickly on foot. Everything is a little old, but still charming. The breakfast was very good! The charging station for the electric car also worked easily.

Nice hotel right next to a castle ruin and a small park. There is a playground directly behind the hotel, but there is no noise pollution. Nicely furnished room with everything you need. Very nice staff. Rich breakfast offering, requests are also catered for. I can only recommend this hotel and will come back here when I'm there.
