I have been booking this hotel for many years and am always very satisfied. Travel with family or alone. The location is ideal for taking tours to the western or eastern Harz. When I arrived with my motorcycle, I was immediately offered a parking space under the carport. When I come back to the hotel from my tours, I enjoy the wellness area, which is located further up in the forest. Simply brilliant, not many houses in the Harz offer that. I don't use the WiFi, I have data volume (D1) and a reasonable reception in the room or upstairs in the wellness area. It's enough for WhatsApp and a bit of surfing. The winter garden is also very nice where you can have a hearty breakfast. I'll definitely be back.

After a long hike we stopped by there for dinner. The service was good and the food didn't take long to arrive either. It tasted perfect, the deer burger with pear is highly recommended and I've never seen it on a menu before.We'd love to come back.

After a long time we spent a night in the green fir tree.The quality of the overnight stay, service from the staff, dinner and breakfast were, as always, very good.I didn't use the wellness area this time.Also recommended as an excursion restaurant for eating or drinking coffee.

It's a nice hotel and the service is very friendly and Ms. Eckbert does her massage very wellThe only drawback would be it would be nice if there were fly screens in front of the windows in the middle of the forest

Only had coffee here, the service felt hostile. 2 cups of filter coffee in a run-down hotel for 9.20 is crazy. I was happy to be back in the car, but what an unpleasant aftertaste from a waitress who also wanted a signature on the PIN receipt. Well, it's special that you can't trust such a debit card payment

We booked the four day package from August 18th, 2024 to August 21st, 2024. Arrival day and August 19th went relatively well. With half board there was a menu in the evening. We've eaten worse, but often better. The WiFi in our room rarely worked, if at all. You should think about a repeater. On August 20th We were repositioned in the dining room for breakfast, why? When I went to the breakfast buffet, I immediately had a dirty plate in my hand. The bare pieces of butter floated freely in the water, I rescued two and dried them. The breakfast buffet wasn't refilled either. The employees preferred to eat themselves first. Then a couple came into the dining room with a dog and his blankie. Unfortunately, we are not used to eating with animals. If I consider that my son, who is now an adult, had an allergy to animal hair, it would have been a success. Well, we ate quickly and left the stable. After we were back in the room with strength, the door was hooked at the top right, what a carpenter, we packed up after a quick vote. This day should be special for us because it is a day of honor. When paying, people naturally asked why we were leaving earlier. When I mentioned the animal thing, the dog lover and his wife were not happy. They were standing next to us. Of course, as usual from dog owners, a personal insult against me couldn't be missed. After about 15 minutes the waiter was there with the bill for our stay. We had booked an arrangement for €458. He wanted to charge us €507. We didn't expect that there would be no accommodation because of the early departure, or an apology because of the animal in the dining room. After we paid I asked for a receipt. We then taught the clerk what a receipt should look like, sadly. Little things like throwing ice cubes into the long drink with your bare finger are apparently also standard practice. All in all, the green fir in almond wood is not recommended. The boss of the whole thing was probably not there because, according to an employee, he was on a trip. It's a shame, a lot of money for such a short time. Three stars is overrated. Harz in the East, never again.I received an answer after over a week. If I complain at reception about the fact that there are dogs in the dining room and I support this with the words "Then I can go on holiday on the farm straight away" does that mean an insult to your employees? Ridiculous. If the dog owner stands next to me and says to me "They belong there too" that is an insult to me from other guests. If your employees can't provide receipts other than not knowing how to cook, is it an insult if we help them? Ridiculous. Not to mention their black fried schnitzels and the lumpy spaetzle that we were offered. When you describe, as in other answers, that your employees undergo training, I would like to point out that "language" is the most important means of training. I was an instructor myself (ADA). You can't run a house like that with their standard answers like "That's the only way we can get better" etc., which they've been using for YEARS. I hope for them that they can stay afloat for another two years.

Were there for one night for hiking.The food was very tasty, both in the afternoon and evening. The staff was also really very friendly. There's nothing wrong with that.The only thing that still needs improvement is the cleanliness of the rooms, lots of dust and dirty carpets. You could work on that. But we'd love to come back

We were there on a weekday and wanted to grab some food on the way and passed this restaurant. It was around 1 p.m., ten minutes later we had placed our order... I hope the waitress just wasn't having a good day that day and we were just unlucky that her friendliness had already been used up... We have her too I didn't see it for the whole waiting time, you could have possibly asked if everything was okay or if the food still needed a while... After an hour the food finally came, it was all fresh and homemade, you can't say that . Unfortunately, my food was probably too oily, which my stomach didn't like... When we left we were greeted in a friendly manner by an older lady. Of course we could have said something there, but we just wanted to move on... .

We went there for coffee on Sunday.The service was good so far but the cake...When baking cakes, you should let a professional do it.The poppy seed cake was a solid pudding cake with a poppy seed every 3cm².. Guys, what's the point? The fruit cake, a little fruit and more jelly. And then €04.50 for a piece of cake that you can't enjoy, thank you. You can save but not like that. If dinner is like that too, well then. Please improve.

It used to be great, but today it's just mediocreThe hotel is in need of a bit of an overhaul and is no longer up to date with today's standards. In the middle of the forest, this was once the case a few years ago, now there are only large areas of clear-cutting and almost no trees left. A walk or hike through the forest and around the reservoir is almost impossible.The rooms in the hotel do not correspond to a modern style, they are very old-fashioned, only with a TV, no radio, no alarm clock, no minibar. A bit dark at the back due to the very dense development. Single rooms resemble a dark and small broom closet. Freedom of movement in the shower cubicle is very limited and rather unsuitable for people with strong builds.In contrast to before, breakfast has also been very poor, no fresh rolls and no variety, only frozen baked goods, I have been a hotel guest in the Grüne Tanne Mandelholz several times before. The restaurant, however, as well as the food for lunch and evening are top. Excellent cuisine at a good price-performance ratio.All in all, a hotel that is made more for the older generation than for families with children and that has long since seen its best years behind it.The hotel rooms and the breakfast do not correspond to the price-performance ratio at a higher price.ps; Mr. H.Wewer reacted to this and cannot understand my negative review. THE TRUTH is the truth. My team and I have been to this hotel several times over the past few years and we know what we are writing about.This time the negative things started when Wewer's daughter checked in, then paid the tourist tax but didn't receive a tourist card.And I can definitely say that the price is high, because there are other hotels with better facilities and a fair price-performance ratio.

The hotel is in a great centralized location for the Harz area and a quiet setting. We had three of our four dinners at the restaurant and really enjoyed the convenience and varied menu selection. The staff are also very friendly and truly care about the guests. We stayed in apartment 501 with our dog and were very pleased with the room; however, some upgrades such as a microwave and a better quality couch would be recommended. WiFi isn’t the best, but it was better than I expected for staying at a hotel in the middle of a National park. I was also pleasantly surprised that they gave us free wood for the fireplace!

Finding an open restaurant where you can get something warm to eat in the afternoon during the week is not always easy. Many restaurants are experiencing staff shortages.Everything was good here and we enjoyed the food. Price performance was good.The location right on the main road wasn't a problem on weekdays. There wasn't much traffic.
