Booked a royal room a week in advance. These are located at the back of the hotel. Spacious rooms! The 3rd person lies on a sofa bed, but with a good mattress.Breakfast very good and lots of choice, even a juice bar. Brigitte bakes fresh omelettes. Various toppings and freshly smoked salmon. Had 1 meal in the restaurant in the evening. BBQ board is highly recommended. Every staff member is friendly and helpful. And it's easy that (almost) everyone speaks Dutch.We have done several trips in the area. For which the location of the Brabander is top. Everything is close by. We will definitely come back here in the winter (when I get my husband on the skis ;) ).

It was a wonderful short vacation. We were with 5 adults and 3 children (7 years, 2 years, 5 years). The service staff were very nice and the children's entertainment, like the children's disco, were also very great. Just like the food was very tasty. We really enjoyed the time. We'll be back!

I became aware of this hotel through a Groupon voucher and I have to say, the deal was excellent. For €300, we as a couple were able to enjoy two nights including breakfast and also received a three-course menu, two Sauerland summer cards, two clay packs for the steam bath, two house cocktails, two hydromassages and four-hour access to the spa and sauna area.The hotel is easily accessible and offers free parking, which makes traveling by car pleasant. We received a friendly welcome upon check-in and the staff were very accommodating throughout our stay. However, it was somewhat unusual that many of the employees spoke Dutch or Flemish or had accents, even though we were in Germany, in the Sauerland. At reception we were provided with free hiking maps and information material about the area, and there was a daily hotel bulletin with an overview of the day's activities, such as crafts for children and evening events such as live music and quiz shows.Our room was small, but comfortable. As a welcome, I was able to surprise my partner with roses and Lindt chocolates, a romantic gesture that the hotel offers for a small extra charge. The bathroom had a shower-bathtub, a hairdryer, a mirror and a window. The room itself was flooded with light, but could be darkened with roller blinds if necessary. There was also a TV with access to Netflix, Amazon Prime and YouTube (own subscriptions required). The only thing that didn't convince us was the beds, as they were too hard for our standards and the pillows weren't particularly comfortable. Your own pillow could help here.The summer card included in the voucher offers a variety of free leisure activities in the area, such as a toboggan run, a ride on a tourist train into the city, a visit to the Kappe adventure world, various ski lifts, viewing points, free bowling and much more. You will also receive a small catalog with the relevant offers.The town and various hiking trails are within walking distance.The spa and sauna area is extremely lovingly designed, with loungers, cozy blankets, a fireplace and a flat rate for water and tea. There are a total of five saunas and a steam cabin, which are attractively presented with spiritual decoration. There was little activity during the week, so we were able to enjoy the area in peace. Some sauna scrubs are available free of charge, others at an additional cost. The area is textile-free, but that didn't bother us. The only point of criticism is the lack of sauna infusions, which as a sauna fan I missed a bit in order to really work up a sweat.The restaurant impressed us with a varied three-course menu, and there is also a large selection of delicious dishes à la carte. The ambience is stylish and the staff were once again friendly and accommodating. The breakfast was varied, with various juices, coffee specialties, water with citrus fruits or mint, Chocomel, sparkling wine, a large selection of cold cuts, cereals, rolls and more. It offered a mix of German, Dutch and English breakfast.In addition to the spa and sauna area, the hotel also offers a library, a lounge, a souvenir shop, an arcade for children with consoles such as PS5 and Nintendo, as well as billiards and other leisure activities. I particularly liked the heated outdoor pool, which was accessible 24 hours a day.Overall it was a completely successful stay.
