This gasthof has been in the same family since its inception in 1865 and they now have four buildings and a restaurant. It is in a hamlet outside Altena and as we drove down the narrow lanes we wondered where exactly we were going!  …

already some years old this hotel has a good standard and was clean and quiet. Typical German country side style equipped rooms, mine was quite big with balkony. ||The cold breakfast buffet is small but of good quality. If you look for a quiet place in the country side this is the hotel to book!

We have had a family meeting there. The service was very friendly and obliging. The family room was very spacy over two floors and very clean. The view to the landscape is excellent. The hotel is located in a very small village in mid of the landscape.

We were looking for a hotel in the Dortmund area but wanted something with character and we found it. Gasthof Spelsberg is set in a beautiful location but not far from the autobahn system. …

Nice hotel. Spacious rooms although a little on the cold side (small radiator in room didn’t seem to do much).||Lovely views over the countryside. ||Restaurant serves great food at reasonable prices.||Would use again!
