We were working in this area of ​​Germany, I requested two double rooms for personal use and they charged me 125 per night per room for rooms with two beds, also commenting that it is a super old hotel in which you have to go up without an elevator to the 3rd or 4th floor, I certainly won't come again.

Very familiar, wonderful, very helpful boss, the spit roast is a treat even for someone who eats almost no meat. Very rich and varied breakfast. Just great people, great area, great neighbors, and all at a very good price. I can highly recommend it.

The food was very good but the prices for breakfast and dinner were very steep. We've traveled several times now but the price was steep.The hotel is very small and outdated, but the service has a few plus points.We also found it a shame that you couldn't sit at the bar or café during the day as it was only open for breakfast/dinner.

Hello everyone,I'm writing here on behalf of my mother. She stayed at the Hotel zum Schwanen for a few days and was particularly impressed by the service. The hostess, Ms. Christine Diehl-Grünberg, was able to read my mother's every wish. The breakfast was great. I would love to stay here again. I was able to meet Ms. Christine Diehl-Grünberg, a really lovely, service-oriented hotel manager. VG, FD
