Very nice, quiet hotel. The owner, who does everything herself, is super nice and helpful. Really great breakfast with everything you want. When the weather was nice, I was even able to have breakfast on the sun terrace.The only drawback is the small TV, but who needs that in this beautiful area.

One of the friendliest hotels where I have had the pleasure to stay. Nothing was too much trouble for Carolina and her team. The rooms were comfortable and warm, the breakfasts varied, healthy and beautifully cooked. The lounge provided a comfortable warm place to relax. I can’t recommend highly enough.

Nice hotel just a few minutes from Pottenstein market square. Great view of the castle and the surrounding rocks. Practically furnished rooms with a balcony.What was particularly worth highlighting was the varied and rich breakfast. For days with bad weather, the cozy fireplace room with a small library is an alternative.Only a few rooms are currently in operation due to a lack of staff, but the small team is doing its best. After initial skepticism, our dog was a welcome guest ;-)

We didn't like it that much. When we were greeted we were reprimanded for being there at 12 p.m. even though the rooms weren't ready until 3 p.m. A really great reception. We were also told the house rules. Bringing food and eating it on the terrace, in the garden or in the room (!) is prohibited. But apart from breakfast there is nothing in this "hotel". Not even a snack. The promised fireplace room was always locked. The rooms were okay, but that was it. This is not a hotel. Sorry.

The most beautiful and best hotel ever! Extremely varied, lovingly prepared and high-quality breakfast, wonderful view of the castle and church, quiet and idyllic location. The rooms are stylish and comfortably furnished. The owner, Ms. Deinzer, is unusually attentive and generous.
