Rarely have I seen a hotel that has been furnished with so much attention to detail. Everything just fits there. Boss very nice. Rooms clean, beds super comfortable. Parking lot right next door. But what impressed me most was the reception. It takes you back two centuries. Mega. We'd love to come back 😍

A beautiful hotel. The mix of modern comfort and a lovingly restored building from the 18th century is a great success. You can see at every point how much work goes into the project. In addition to the "normal" rooms, which are an eye-catcher in themselves, there is also a highlight: a suite in an old ballroom, which is equipped with, among other things, a free-standing bathtub.In addition to the building and the optimal location, I would also like to mention the helpful, friendly and courteous service.I will definitely stay there again. Thank you.

When I give a 10 it is because of the many factors involved. First of all the hostess was amazing. She gave us the option for a reception check-in or an automatic with a key dispenser. I love both options as sit always depends on when I intend to arrive at what is best. Second, I am not quickly blown away by a hotel/room, but this blew my mind. It was absolutely beautiful! The design, the details, the modern touches, the space and the comfort are astonishing. The place (I am guessing) has been renovated to live up to modern standards while maintaining the old touches of an era when a pharmacy was still a luxurious store. The doors are beautifully old with old locks, the building has cracking old floors while the bathroom has modern faucets and tiles, the Wi-Fi is incredibly fast and the couch is so soft and comfortable! I could stay there for days, reading a book. The bed is also incredibly soft, maybe too soft for some, but I slept lovely. All and all an incredible stay and we will be back for sure to stay longer. And yes, there was no coffee available when we were there, but then the bakery was literally 20 meters across the street where we got our daily cup of coffee for a good German price of 2,50 euros.

A great hotel. The old pharmacy was lovingly renovated and converted into a hotel. Many parts are left original, some have been restored, others have been modernized (very harmoniously). Ms. Kormeyer is a great host, focused on the guest and their needs. We'd love to come back.

Very nice, small hotel. Elaborately restored with a lot of love and a sense of detail. Great beds, everything was very well maintained and clean. If you are looking for a hotel that represents something special away from the mainstream, this is the right place for you. Absolute recommendation!
