This hotel was a delight. Although it was 32 degrees and humid with no air conditioning, the windows open wide and the forest atmosphere was quiet and peaceful. This is a typical small village hotel with very few amenities.  …

A beautiful hotel, surrounded by nature... in the middle of the forest, quiet, a good choice for relaxing, hiking, cycling and enjoying. Just as suitable for family trips as for short trips or larger events. A bowling alley and the possibility of renting e-bikes complement the service and options. The rooms are clean and comfortable, the ambience is in harmony with the surroundings and SERVICE is very important to the team.

We booked two nights at the hotel from Thursday to Saturday. Booking was completely uncomplicated.We booked a double room which was renovated. The rooms are small but well equipped. Bathroom could possibly have been larger but sufficient for 2 nights.The hotel wasn't fully booked when we arrived, but we still got a room right next to the elevator. The elevator is turned off from 11 p.m. to 6 a.m., but you can still hear the elevator if guests arrive late or leave early.It's a shame, it definitely wasn't good service for us.Breakfast is included, but we cannot recommend it. But there are plenty of alternatives in town.Parking is available and large enough.

Were there with several friends, the hotel is very nice. The rooms are very well maintained and modernly furnished. Staff very friendly and competent. Only the menu had a few simple dishes on it. The food was great but I would have liked to have ordered something simpler.

Celebrated our 70th birthday here.The staff are friendly and helpful and the food was delicious, the portions are plentiful and the price is good. I can't say anything about the rooms and breakfast since we didn't stay overnight. The hotel is located just outside in the forest. There is a playground, 2 ponds and a game reserve. The hotel is suitable for relaxation and as a starting point for hikes around Schmalkalden.

Very nice, remote hotel right next to the forest to get away from everyday life and into nature. Very good breakfast and the staff is also very friendly and helpful. The rooms are clean and the reception hall and breakfast room are also clean and inviting. The corridors to the hallway are decorated in a forest landscape, so that you can immerse yourself in nature even in the hotel. We felt very comfortable.
