We are repeat offenders! I think this was our fifth time visiting. Now that all the rooms have been completely renovated, it's even nicer here. We have always liked the warm manner of the staff, the top cleanliness and the really loving and varied breakfast. The attached leisure pool, which can be used free of charge for guests, is an additional plus point. Conveniently located if you want to visit the surrounding larger towns, but of course the town of Pottenstein itself is a pearl. You can really do a lot, even with children, and go on beautiful hiking tours. There are several ways to eat well. We would always fully recommend the hotel and wish the operators of the family business continued success!

Rooms were newly furnished and were clean. Service was also top and we found breakfast very good. The only thing we found a bit suboptimal was that the swimming pool, to which you get free entry, is closed on Saturdays. Location also very central.

Overall the hotel is recommended. Unfortunately we were unlucky because the hot water in the rooms didn't work on 2 out of 3 days. We didn't like the option of showering in the public swimming pool because the opening times weren't right for us and you would have had to go to the premises fully clothed. There was also no discount or at least a small gift as compensation.

The rooms have all been newly renovated and are therefore very nice. The managers and employees of the hotel are all very friendly. Unfortunately, the bathroom is rarely open or not open for very long in the evenings, but it is still very nice there.Tip: for smokers there is a balcony in every room, but it is advisable to take a jam jar with you as an ashtray as there are none there or you can ask at reception and they will definitely give you one.
