The Hotel zur Post is beautifully and quietly located in Balve-Eisborn. Great landscape. The rooms are clean, the service is very attentive and the breakfast is very good. Dogs are allowed in special rooms. Highly recommended.

A great, quietly located hotel in the middle of Balve. All around animals, streams and fields. If you want to get out, this is the right place for you. Nice older large hotel. Nice people and good food. Price-performance ratio fits here like hardly anywhere else. Biker friendly hotel. Swimming pool for relaxing in bad weather could be a little warmer, but there's nothing else to complain about here. Large, great playground 500m away and great for small children. We have been here three times and would be happy to come back when the opportunity arises. Keep it up 👍

Were here with a motorcycle group.Rooms simple, therefore only 4 points. That's definitely why it's cheap. A compliment to the kitchen and service. Very friendly.

The Hotel zur Post and its team have been supporting our big German cult rock festival in the Balverhöhle since 2010. The rooms and the service are intended for our national and international guests, fans and often very prominent artists. Incredibly reliable, service at its finest, friendly, fair and simply TOP, this service again and again. The many artists and fans are thrilled every year... our regular hotel is showered with praise. Thank you very much for 14 years of fantastic cooperation, you are world class!

Hotel is very old. Carpets partly broken and rocked down. Beds totally read through. Bathrooms from the 70s. TV with what feels like 5 programs. Otherwise, well wouldn't sleep here again for the price... Breakfast is okay, a bit limited selection but yes.
