Hotel und Restaurant Birkenwäldchen

That was really strange. The website has nothing in common with reality. There seems to have been a change of operator. The restaurant was closed. The hotel was empty and apparently uninhabited. There was no business at all.I asked for a single room by phone and announced my arrival.As I pulled into the parking lot, I noticed a young man waiting.The parking lot was overgrown and there was a deregistered car in it. Bulky waste in the corner.The man was waiting for me. He didn't speak German and I couldn't communicate.I was led through the back entrance into the dark, empty hotel. It smelled of heating oil. The operator left after a few minutes and showed me my room. He was very nice, Turkish or Afghan. The room smelled strange and had had its time since then about 30 years ago but it was clean.The smell came from the towels. Had to air it out first. The heating worked and so did the hot water.You can do that if you need to stay overnight like I did. But it's very close to the limit. You shouldn't expect a hotel in the usual sense.50 euros for one night is too much.An experience that I don't need again.

A request to the operators of the Birkenwäldchen: please stop organizing celebrations! Due to a lack of alternatives, our grandma celebrated her birthday, which was Christmas, here (group of 22 people). Unfortunately, a lot went wrong and considering 85 Eur/pers. we perceive the performance as usury. What was agreed in this package was a festively decorated room, all drinks included, and food a la carte. 3 cakes baked by the "chef", sandwiches with coffee and cake, serviceAfter the event had already been accepted in the summer, shortly before Christmas it was a bit of a struggle as to whether the festival could even take place because the landlord didn't get back to us until late.Ultimately it took place, but in buffet form with slightly different food than requested.There is the following to complain about:- promised in the above price was a decoration. Unfortunately, apart from a very sparse Christmas decoration and 2 flowers, there was no nicely decorated room, luckily we brought some decoration with us- Staff paid little attention to the guests, champagne and all other drinks had to be asked for at the counter, so we didn't have any drinks with our meal. Then, after being asked, we finally had water on the table, unfortunately only the cheapest (1.5l bottles made from PET bottles), Cola, Fanta and Sprite, and beer was reluctantly served- the food was so moderately good, it was mostly frozen (schnitzel, fish, fries, croquettes); Bread unfortunately old; There were fruit skewers but unfortunately the raspberries were moldy; But the food was beautifully prepared and the homemade schnitzel and dips were good- Unfortunately, the fireplace no longer works properly and so the smoke pushes inside. The room was completely filled with smoke. The fire was only put out after being asked to do so. When eating, the doors had to be open to allow for a draft - bad for the guests, who were cold and then smelled of smoke. We had to quickly escape into the car with our infant.- There was supposed to be coffee and cake at 3:30 p.m. but we had to ask the landlord/staff three times for this too. There was supposed to be sandwiches as an alternative to coffee and cake, but that wasn't available either, but the coffee plates were dirty and stuck to each other. Instead of offering homemade cakes/tarts as agreed, there were 2x frozen cakes and something indefinable in a baking dish. It didn't look that appealing, but according to other guests it was okay. The watery coffee was an imposition. Simply not edible! The chai (received upon request) was good.In the meantime, strangers were also sitting at the front of the guest room (known to the landlord?) and playing with their cell phones.Luckily, the guests kept the atmosphere good, despite the many antics. After many years of celebrations in the birch grove, this was our last one there.

Was there for dinner at Christmas. An outrageously high flat rate of €85 per person was charged here. for the bad food and cheap drinks agreed with a 90 year old woman!!The food was all warmed up frozen food, drinks from the cheap brand JA! And finally, thawed cake and watered down coffee. Coffee dishes were not cleaned and some were stuck together.Service was non-existent at all, only the boss could have a conversation.To top it all off, there was a fireplace with smoke inhalation.Never again and not recommended

First of all, I would like to point out that this is a completely family restaurant. You can leave in peace with your family. The staff and owners are very nice, kind and helpful people. I wasn't in the hotel, but in the restaurant with my wife. If you want to know what I recommend, I especially recommend the mixed grill. The flatbread is also very good. I advise you to try it.👋🏽

The food on offer is varied and what we ordered was also delicious. Unfortunately the atmosphere stopped 20 years ago. Price-performance ratio was good.

The food is super delicious 👌We were there several times and enjoyed it, the team is quite polite and happy to accompany us 👍🏻. I can only recommend it 😋👍🏻

Location is good. Price and performance are very appealing, only the operation is not entirely appealing but everything can still be corrected. Is definitely worth a visit.I can't say anything about the rooms

The employees in the business are very experienced. The hotel is very good in terms of hygiene and cleanliness. The food in the restaurant section is very delicious. I really recommend the stone oven pizzas and kebabs.

We had dinner with friends and everything was freshly prepared. The service is first class. All the staff are very friendly and at the end there was a little music and singing. All in all another great evening.We'd love to come back. 😊

We ordered for pickup and what can I say, it was awful for the price we paid. Food was already cold when we picked it up and the weight of the packaging made us think...yikes, is there anything in there at all. When we got home, the disappointment was correspondingly great. The meat is more than dry regardless of whether it is beef, chicken or lamb. It was a similar story with the fries, there was somehow nothing in them. The quantity is also very manageable. Everything was slapped into the box very carelessly. The dishes are definitely not served to the guest as described on the menu. I honestly wonder whether the operators even know how to prepare these dishes. We only ordered four dishes, one of which wasn't the right one. It can happen, but it doesn't show professionalism if you can't do it in four dishes. There wasn't much going on that you could understand. It's a shame but it was the first and last time we were there.
