Super centrally located guesthouse in the old town. Clean rooms, great service. The breakfast buffet is rich and is constantly replenished. Very nice hosts, helpful and friendly. I've been coming there every year for well over 10 years!

I would first like to address the review that Lydia Wegene gave last month. I find this to be very unfair and it doesn't correspond at all with my experiences that I had in and with the Pension Elke. …

If you like retro, this guesthouse is highly recommended! And I mean that positively. Our room was very spacious and super clean (they also clean under the bed). The furnishings were a bit dated (fluorescent beams, where can you still see them?) but well maintained and excellent mattresses. The bathroom/toilet was in the hallway and in an appropriate style (we were asked when booking if this was a problem). Breakfast was a buffet and we lacked nothing.The guesthouse has a small supermarket, as I know it from my youth. The service was friendly and correct, but it was clear that people were (understandably) busy, not a word too much.You can only pay in cash (where else do you see it?) It is relatively favorable for that.The guesthouse is located within the city wall and you cannot park your car there. (But within 5 minutes walking distance). It is very quiet and a 5-minute walk from the market place. We were here for 2 nights in August and can recommend this guest house to everyone. Unless you want everything high-tech and modern.

We were only guests for one night, we were warmly welcomed. Our double room was very spacious and clean, everything a man/woman needed was there. The guesthouse is in a great location, not far from the market square and other sights. The breakfast buffet was fresh, visually and tastefully very appealing, varied and there was enough of everything. We'd love to come back.

We're here for the 5th time today and, as always, we're given a friendly welcome.The rooms are simple but very clean.If you want luxury, you are welcome to book a 4 or 5 star hotel for twice the budget.In our opinion, the breakfast deserves 5 stars.Always prepared and covered with a lot of love and passion.We always like to come back.Greetings the Swabians

I thought for a long time whether I should leave a review. Since I worked in a managerial position as a hotel manager for many years, I know how quickly people write derogatory things. …

The location of the accommodation is great, right in the old town. The room was OK for one night. Very friendly service at check-in. Breakfast would have been great if everything had been available from 8:45. Unfortunately nothing was refilled and there was no contact person available. When checking out, the feeling was conveyed that now pay and then hello.There is still a lot of room for improvement when it comes to service.
