Many thanks to the hotel and the owner. We came from Baden-Württemberg with friends as helpers from the Ahmadiyya Muslim Community and instead of having to spend the night in the car, the owner donated accommodation to us in the hotel :)

The Hotel Urftal.The welcome was given personally by the operator, who is extremely friendly. He is the new operator who wants to give the Urftalhotel a new shine. It's a little dated in terms of appearance and furnishings... but very clean and highly recommended for the price. There is also free Wi-Fi. The breakfast is plentiful and will be served later if requested. The employee is super friendly and helpful...but could use some support. But it'll be okay...We'll be happy to come back if we want to go on holiday there. Thank you for the few beautiful days.......July 2021!!! Catastrophe in Gemünd and the surrounding area and we are deeply affected. It's unbelievable what the water has done there, this destruction and the suffering of the people hits us in the heart ❤.We wish the people in the Eifel that they do not lose heart. We are thinking of you!!!!!

Fitness equipment in nature, clean rooms, although a bit old. It's a shame that there is no hairdryer and no bath mat in the bathroom. 2 bottles of water as a welcome gift in the room was very nice. Fridge with cold drinks available in the hallway. 2.5€ to 3.5€/bottle a bit expensive, but at least you won't die of thirst in the room. Delicious fresh breakfast. Price performance is right.
