Modern and attractive en suite room in a selection of greens (even the hairdryer, shower heads and bottle opener), at top of village in wooded (= wald) setting. ||||The room was too crowded with furniture and felt cramped. …

From the outside, you can't even guess how homely this guesthouse is. It really is a Wald idyll because the forest also surrounds the building. Fresh air, silence and tranquility are guaranteed here. Inside, the feeling of homeliness in us continues to grow. The color harmony of the equipment is perfect. I love it, I can really appreciate how the curtain harmonizes with the sofa, accessories and towels. Ours was the green room, but we also saw yellow and blue rooms. The equipment was perfect. You didn't even need to log in to the wifi, you could connect for free without a code. The equipment is very new and flawless. Cleanliness was perfect. There is a parking lot in front of the guesthouse, but you have to be careful when parking, the space is quite tight. There is also a small kitchen where you can eat without having to cook in the room. Perishable food can be stored in the refrigerator. Coffee and tea can also be made during the day for a small fee. The breakfast is very delicious and plentiful. A wooden salami plate comes separately to the tables, which are arranged according to the rooms. Upon check-in, the owner asks what time we would like to have breakfast, because there will be fresh buns by then, and you can choose between wheat flour and wholemeal. Scrambled or boiled eggs can be requested in the morning. In addition to salami, there are always some vegetables and fruits. The landlord is very correct, polite and attentive. We had a great time.

We took a little break here at the weekend. The room was welcoming, clean and cozy. The property needs to be upgraded from the outside so that it can attract attention from the start. But inside it really invites you to linger, with great attention to detail.The landlord is friendly and helpful and is immediately available if there are any problems.Thank you for the great time. 👍😃🤗

Even one star is too many.We couldn't find a contact person on site. Not a soul anywhere. The property itself is getting very old. We made the trip from Masserberg for free. Very sad!

The room was clean and tidy. Unfortunately it was cold even though the heating was on. The host was friendly and made an effort. The breakfast was sufficient and fresh. It was also cool in the breakfast room. The windows are leaking, which probably causes the cold. The parking lot is a bit cramped.

The innkeeper is visibly annoyed by his guests. Friendly tone, a foreign word for him. If you like to be patronized, this is the right place for you. The second star is only given because you can't complain about the rooms themselves. The hostel father tears the rest down. Never go there again!
