DORMERO Hotel Coburg

DORMERO Hotel Coburg

8/10 Good
"The only problem of this hotel is lack of blackout drapes. If you are a light sleeper, you will wake up with the sunrise. There is a lot of light in the rooms. Furthermore the hotel is pet-friendly so dogs can wake you up anytime. It is a pity because the beds are really king-size and very comfortable. Breakfast is till 10.30 only so we didn't try. Location of the hotel is perfect and parking is close."

8/10 Good
"Excellent location but the communication from the hotel wasn’t good. I messaged the hotel the morning of my arrival after not receiving a key code (the place is unmanned). I arrived at the property and still had not received any instruction to gain access. Then I had to make a very expensive phone call to the people that run the property and was told “oh you should never book with Expedia as we can’t contact you there.” Not very helpful. However, after paying a fortune to speak to someone the lady cleaning the rooms came and let me in. Apart from the bad start, all else was good. The location is amazing and the room spacious and very comfortable and clean."

"Clean spacious room, driving up the mountain to get there at night (was also really foggy) was a little precarious. We arrived late evening so the restaurant was no longer open and there is no place close by to get snacks or anything. Had drinks in the bar area which were really good but having a pizza oven or something to heat up or make some appetizers would have really made it better. Staff were very friendly"
