The hospitable owners of this charming hotel take great care to make you feel welcome. The spotless rooms are comfortable and homelike. At breakfast, I enjoyed a delicious made-to-order omelet. I look forward to returning!

This place was so quiet. It was also very clean, we had plenty of room and the host was wonderful. The breakfast that she served was outstanding. We felt safe in this village and we even walked a mile back from a wonderful restaurant in the dark and had no worries at all.

Good morning,Thank you very much for taking the time to write us a feedback and rating.We are very happy about it.Yes, we still live here like on an island of bliss. Here you can (even as a woman alone) go for a walk alone and also be out and about on foot at night. One is safe. And that's really great and unfortunately no longer possible everywhere in our country.We wish you all the best and would be very happy to welcome you again.

Great Hotel
The hotel was perfect very clean we had two rooms both were wonderful. The hostess was extremely pleasant, the breakfast was great although we did have anything cooked the scrambled eggs looked amazing. One small point the website and brochure at the hotel said breakfast was till 09.30 but wee informed breakfast was only till 08.30. Not a problem for me I needed to be up but I do not think my daughter was impressed. However the hotel is in a great rural location with plenty of walks and bike paths running past it. We would definitely stay again it is a real gem.

Dear guests, thank you very much for your feedback and your rating. We are very pleased that you feel comfortable with us and express it! Thank you also for your feedback about the breakfast. During the week, from 6:30 am, we offer our guests the breakfast buffet and ask our guests to come for breakfast no later than 8:30 am, so that they can enjoy their breakfast in peace and quiet. As you have seen, you can then serve yourself without time limit at the buffet and sit in the breakfast room. We place the highest value on quality. We strive to offer our guests fresh quality products for breakfast - in these summery temperatures, the quality of the food, even with refrigeration, suffers greatly - the freshness is therefore limited. We therefore ask for your understanding. We look forward to welcoming you again as guests in our bed and breakfast. All the best and see you soon!

Hello und guten Abend, thank you for your comment. Our hotel is a hotel only for adults and for children no longer furnished. We were therefore very surprised when you arrived with child. We know that it is difficult to travel with a small child and a lot of luggage and would have liked to help you with the luggage transport. Unfortunately you had renounced our help. We would like to have made your stay more pleasant.

Beautiful location warm people.
This is a beautiful location in a small village outside of Ramstein. Octavia and Herman are the owners and made us feel very welcome. Even though we did not speak German, Octavia spoke good English and even taught us some German. She was very warm and I miss coming down for breakfast and trying to tell her what she can cook for me in my broken German. This was the best part of my stay and I would highly recommend this location. There is a walking trail nearby and it is very peaceful and quiet.

The room was decent for a small Hotel, more of a Bed and Breakfast style place, but not bad at all. The town is small with nothing to offer for entertainment or food, but Kaiserslautern wasn't far away. The wifi was decent, but slow and laggy.

Very clean and comfortable accommodations in a lovely village convenient to Ramstein AFB. Exceptional staff made me feel as though I were staying with close friends. Delicious breakfast with home made jam served in a cozy dining area. Walking paths and good restaurants nearby. Certainly a top choice of places to stay.

Beer Fridge
Hotel was affordable, a little small, nice staff upon checkin. I asked the lady that checked me in where I could get some beer. She took me to the kitchen and pointed me in the direction of the fridge that was full of brew. She said anything I drink just write it down and settle up in the morning. Very nice of them.

A quirt, comfortable base for local exploration.
Our hostess, Octavia, spoke good English, had a great sense of humour and couldn't do enough to please. The room was modern, warm, very clean and comfortable but we would have appreciated tea and coffee making facilities in the room upon waking, although it was available in reception, across the courtyard. Note: take a travel kettle and ingredients with you. Breakfast was excellent. The village was quiet, exceptionally clean and very well kept.
