Got there and felt good. Small but nice hotel. Very very nice staff. Always ready for a little chat. The rooms are very nice. Clean and well maintained. The breakfast was completely sufficient and regionally determined. A refrigerator is available for drinks. With a “trusted cash register”. Will be charged on the day of departure.The only thing...the small parking lot in front of the house. But the location doesn't make it any different. However, there is the possibility of parking in the surrounding area. For example in Birkenstrasse. That's pretty close.We really enjoyed being there and are looking forward to seeing you again soon. Unfortunately not this year, but next year.Dear “witches” from Sonneneck! Stay as you are and above all stay healthy.As I said, we felt very, very comfortable.

We were lucky enough to spend two days in this beautiful Hotel Garni. We had a great room with a view of the city. Everything was spotlessly clean. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet leaves nothing to be desired. We felt very comfortable and would love to come back.

We were guests there for the second time in September 24 this year at the Pension Haus Sonneneck. Since it was our honeymoon, we found a beautifully decorated room, almost like a wedding suite. Thank you for your efforts! The girls are all very friendly and always ask if everything is OK etc. The breakfast is rich and delicious! Since we always need coffee before breakfast, we get it without any problems. The bread is super delicious! We also got tips about inexpensive restaurants and they were really delicious and recommended! The rooms are clean and furnished in a rustic style, but that's exactly what makes the Harz region so charming. If you need something more classy you have to go to a hotel.We'll definitely come back. We give it 5+ stars and we would give even more if we could.Many thanks and kind regards from BerlinMartin and Stefanie Joßa

Very friendly reception. The location is more than great. Breakfast was lovingly prepared and was plentiful. Rooms were rustically but cutely furnished. Only the bed squeaked with every movement. :DGenerally very nice house 😊

In my opinion the house is more of a guesthouse than a hotel. The staff is not in the house all day. The room is nicely decorated and cozy. Everything is clean. The staff very polite and helpful! The chair lift to Rosstrappe and the cabin lift to Hexentanzplatz can be reached on foot in a short time. The breakfast is absolutely sufficient and delicious. It's a shame that (due to the size of the house) you are assigned breakfast in a certain time slot.

The location is unbeatable 👍. The hotel 🏨 really has the perfect location 🌏. Everything can be reached very quickly 👣.The service 💁‍♀️ is nice and friendly. The check-in was a bit bumpy because when the bell rang 🔕 no one opened it 🚪 and no one answered on the landline ☎️ either. With the cell phone number📱 it worked. Travel tips 🛂 are welcome 🤓 and the guest's well-being 😋 is also generally taken care of ☕🥚 at breakfast.The room 🛖 is spartan and small 🤏 and the 1.40 meter wide bed 🛏️ was not very comfortable 🥴. It creaked❇️ a lot and the mattress wasn't good for my back 😮‍💨 personally speaking 🤕. But it was nice and quiet 🎶🎵, I thought that was great. I also really liked the view ⛪. With the hot shower 🚿💦 the back pain 😅 was quickly resolved.We had wonderful days here in Thale 🌏 and would have liked to have stayed longer. ☝️
