The hotel lives from the star restaurant Aura. The rooms are functional and clean but nothing special. On the contrary: a bit outdated. The (almost) floor-level shower is - completely incomprehensible to me - very slippery and slippery. That's dangerous.Aura is a culinary experience at the highest level. Of course, the price for the 8(!) courses with an additional 4 greetings from the kitchen, especially with wine accompaniment, is quite high. On the other hand, the effort involved here is also extremely high. And so the price is put into perspective and is appropriate for the effort.Exceptionally friendly staff all around.

Sorry, my experience here was a little longer ago, so I don't have any photos anymore because I changed my cell phone, but... the hotel, the reception there, the service, everything was great! Point. I also ate in the restaurant and… it was an experience like no other! Why? Because people usually have reservations about star chefs who are on TV a lot. But everything was just right here. Even when I asked about Alexander Hermann personally (I really enjoy getting to know top chefs in person and talking to them about their art) the response was very positive. Alexander Hermann came to my table and served me a meal that I have not forgotten to this day. A great experience that I look back on fondly.

We were there last Sunday for the fall brunch and it was huge. The food was top notch, everyone had a smile on their faces and was super friendly! The highlight was that AH himself was there and was available for small talk and a selfie. We'd love to come back!

The rooms are definitely nicely decorated. The bathrooms are very small and there is hardly any storage space in the room and bathroom. The rooms are rather small and everything is a bit old. …

We were guests at the beautiful Posthotel for the second time and were once again thrilled from the first moment. You receive a very warm welcome, so you immediately feel welcome. You can feel the great atmosphere in the entire team in every corner and this has a magical effect on your stay and the culinary delights on offer. I was lucky enough to be able to spend my birthday here and there was even a very nice and delicious surprise from the kitchen - thank you again for that and a great evening! :)Everything is simply top quality and we are already looking forward to our next visit!
