We spent 2 nights there including half board last weekend. The room was very spacious with a balcony and an additional couch. The service and operation were great, despite absences due to illness. A special thank you to the chef! The food was super delicious!

We spent a wonderful 5 days in the Harz and felt very comfortable in the hotel. Beautiful spacious room with a double bed, desk, seating area and couch. The solution with the rotating flat screen TV, so that you could watch TV both in bed and on the couch opposite, is very good. The rooms were very clean, the breakfast was a good morning boost and the staff were very friendly.Thanks to all

Very great welcome. Great friendly staff and everything was very clean and the rooms were nicely furnished, the food corresponds to a 4 star hotel. Unfortunately, you can hear the street very clearly when the windows are open.We'd love to come back

We stayed in this hotel for three days as a hiking group and felt very comfortable. Starting with the very friendly welcome, the very large room and the delicious breakfast. Thank you for that. We have already booked again for next year.

We stayed in the hotel for 5 days, the staff was super friendly and any special requests were always fulfilled. The dinner was super delicious and the price-performance ratio was OK...It's quiet at night...For us, the hotel had nothing to do with a spa hotel but more like an overnight hotel. It was on a busy street but was very quiet at night We lacked a park for a spa hotel and there was no pool either. There was a limited selection of massages due to a lack of staff.There was something of everything at the breakfast buffet, but we missed variety because it was always the same thing every day.More attention could have been paid to the cleanliness of the rooms...

Many thanks to the entire Fürstenhof team for the pleasant stay.We had a nice room with a balcony, everything was clean and nicely prepared.The dinner (3 course menu) was very tasty and we were really full 😋😅Also a lovingly prepared breakfast buffet.There is no such thing as an option here, very courteous staff 👍The excursions and attractions in the area are easily accessible and were very nice, especially the megazipline and suspension bridge. We can also recommend a trip with the Brocken Bahn.We had a great time here, thank you very much 🤗

My husband and I booked the honeymoon wellness offer. This included 2 overnight stays, 1x 3-course menu in the evening, 1x candlelight dinner (4 courses) in the evening, 2x breakfast buffet, use of the sauna, 1× special whirlpool tub for two and a full body peeling per person as well as roses, red wine and chocolates in the room.The staff, whether service, wellness area or reception, were always friendly and accommodating with questions or requests.The spa was very modern and very quiet and relaxing. We really enjoyed our application. The bathroom for two was also very romantically decorated for us and there was a glass of sparkling wine for each of us.The restaurant was also very large and well equipped. The dinner was extremely tasty and the portions were very large. We were really full.The breakfast buffet was sufficient and there was something for everyone.Since we spent our 10th wedding anniversary there, our breakfast table and our dinner table were set and decorated in red and romantic. There were also small touches from the staff.Our room was very large, spacious and clean. We also had a balcony to sit outside.The hotel is a bit old in terms of furniture in the room, staircase and so on, but you can still see that some things have already been renewed and the rest will definitely be renewed little by little.The location is right in the center of Blankenburg, which means you can easily get to everywhere in the surrounding area. You can't change the main street at the hotel, but it didn't bother us.Unfortunately we didn't like it that muchthe missing roses and the missing chocolates in the room, there were only artificial rose petals on the table and the 4 small Merci chocolate pieces - these are not chocolates for me.A small suggestion for improvement from us: Maybe put down a small bouquet of fresh flowers and a mini box of chocolates.What was also a shame was that the restaurant was only open until 9 p.m. and the kitchen closed at 8 p.m. We would have liked to sit on their beautiful terrace in the evening and drink a few cocktails.Maybe they'll consider extending the times a little bit.Apart from a few little things, it was a nice stay with them and we would like to come back.

Unfortunately the hotel is a little old. Unfortunately, the price does not correspond to the current condition of the hotel.If you can overlook that, the staff was really friendly and the breakfast was really great!

Unfortunately the room was dirty, we got a new one when we asked, but the bathroom there was also dirty. It would then supposedly be cleaned the next day (no longer possible due to our late arrival), but we didn't notice anything.However, breakfast was excellent.
