In the morning at around 7 a.m. you could forget to shower because there was no warm water. Really sad...

The weekend was super nice. However, the room really wasn't great.We were in the Eifel Crime Room.The bed was broken, i.e. the brakes couldn't be adjusted, the fabric was torn from the edge and the mattresses slid back and forth on the topper so that you had to be afraid of falling off the bed with the mattress.There was no real closet. Just an old rancid chest of drawers. Other rooms had a coffee maker, we didn't. Due to space constraints I was told. It wasn't lovingly decorated in terms of theme either. Sorry but it looked like Rudi's Leftovers ramp.Unfortunately there was also a small light in the small hallway. You had to turn on the lights in the bathroom and room to see anything in the darkBut the room was very, very clean, that was the most important thing.All in all, we paid 524 euros for the Eifel crime weekend. The room was NOT worth that price.BUT!!!!!!! the food was great and plentiful. A very loving breakfast buffet.I was a little disappointed with the tea time.The muffins were pre-bought mini muffins like Aldi, Lidl etc.The menus in the evening were very great, plentiful and lovingly prepared.The weekend itself was very, very nice and the little break was good, even the room couldn't spoil the lovely atmosphere.The staff was very friendly, polite and accommodating.

Pampering hotel with “excitement” Great service, good food and an exciting crime dinner. Perfect weekend.

We were there for dinner in the evening. Unfortunately, the restaurant promises other things that are not on the plate in the end. The “minced steak with fried potatoes and fried egg” was just a meatball warmed up in the microwave (we found out about this later from the service staff). The daily recommendation (“belly noodles with beef strips and chanterelle mushroom cream sauce”) was unfortunately not tasty either, the meat was very tough and therefore not edible. The hotel looks beautiful, the rooms in the lower area seem very elegant and perhaps distract from the food, but it would have been easy to make it taste better (e.g. fry the meatball properly, etc.).

We spent our wedding anniversary in the crime hotel and it was really great!Everything is very cozy and there is a lot to see. Our table was lovingly decorated and the staff were super friendly. The escape room game was a lot of fun, also because the game leader did her job well. All in all a great day - we'll definitely be back 💕

Write this review as an employee. The employees are very nice and humorous, unfortunately I can't say the same about the personnel planner. Ignoring you for weeks, outrageous answers after numerous contact attempts + misinformation regarding payout and vacation entitlement. I can only advise every mini-jobber not to work there if punctual remuneration and proper communication are desired. In addition, the tip was brazenly withheld, which of course is not legally allowed. I now have to sue for the money I'm owed with the help of a lawyer.

Very nice service, food good, price good. Hotel worth seeing, themed evenings are offered. It's worth seeing, everything is crime-oriented.👍Unfortunately I didn't see the rooms, they are supposed to be dedicated to the various crime series.
