We were completely satisfied, like every year. The breakfast is awesome and very tasty. The apartment was clean and nicely decorated. The bathroom is also awesome. Check-in is great with the key boxes. We can recommend the inn 100%.

We were there for 2 nights to visit Europa Park. About 7 minutes on foot and you're there. Free parking and if you want to visit Europapark again on the day of departure, you will receive a card with a barcode that allows you to park for free at Europapark. The rooms are clean and nicely decorated. We had a skylight with the bed directly underneath, I thought that was really nice. The bathroom was also nice and bright and clean, with a shower cubicle.Breakfast is served directly to the table, cheese and sausage on a plate. Rolls and croissants, eggs as desired, yogurt and fruit salad, you'll definitely get plenty.

We stayed in the inn for 2 nights with my daughter and granddaughter because we were visiting Europa Park. The rooms are wonderfully clean and sufficiently large. The bathroom with shower and toilet is sufficient. The breakfast tasted wonderful and there was nothing missing. You could get everything your heart desires. What I found to be very good was that everything was served at the table. I think this can save a lot of unnecessary waste. And it could be reordered at any time. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Definitely a very nice stay for us. And only 5 minutes to the main entrance to Europa Park.I can recommend it 100% ☺️

The location is as close to Europapark as possible without being a park hotel. Breakfast really good (fresh fruit salad really fresh). The rooms are clean and the beds are comfortable. A great choice for the price-quality ratio.
