Cozy hotel located directly on the Ruwer.Rooms very clean.From the hotel you can immediately walk into the vineyards.Staff extremely friendly and helpful.Very dog ​​friendly!!Restaurant very good. We had schnitzel, tarte flambée, tagliatelle, ice cream and a cheese platter with excellent wines.Hiking trips in the area are recommended, e.g. Devil's Gorge with Irreler Suspension Bridge.Saarburg is also very beautiful.We didn't like Trier itself that much.

Very nicely located hotel with restaurant and wine shop.Including a large beer garden, very nicely located. Old trees, the whole thing almost in the middle of the vineyard. Just great.The service was good, the employees friendly and helpful.We really liked the food and drinks and felt comfortable there.The room we were given only got three stars, so there was still room for improvement. Overall, a very fair price-performance ratio and no reason to complain.Since we really liked one or two types of wine, we took a few bottles with us.Highly recommended, we would love to come back.

The room was too small, the bathroom was also much too small, the shower or the water pipe was broken, which was a big problem because you couldn't shower normally.- The service in the restaurant seemed untrained, one server could only speak English.- Cleanliness was below average, the cleaners just came into the room without knocking.- We had an infestation of flying ants and there were no fly screens.- The breakfast room was far too small for all guests, the breakfast buffet was inadequate, there was little choice and the quality of the food was not good.- You generally didn't feel welcome; when you checked out you were spoken to in English even though you spoke German.
