Layensteig Strimmiger-Berg Tours and Activities

Staff is friendly, good location, definitely check out the rooftop bar for the skyline view

The property is amazing and the rooms are spacious and extremely clean and comfortable. The corridors and the landings are in contrast with the rooms and seem a little outdated. The grounds are also very nice although all the focus is especially dedicated to the golf course. The spa was enjoyable with two nice indoor and outside (small) pools. However, we found that for a 4 stars « superior » hotel certain aspects could be improved, in particular in regards to service and food options. It lacked personable service and no particular interest was taken in showing us or explaining where things were in the hotel (ie. we had to explore and find all the amenities ourselves) or what was on the menu (which was written in German) or recommending good options for children (ie. We ended up with very spicy sauces on burgers for children and no one mentioned that perhaps we should choose an alternative sauce for the kids). Just little things that would actually bring this amazing hotel to its 4 stars rating as it felt the structure was worth the stars but not the service.

This is one of my favorite places to stay in Germany. It's a beautiful palace, built for an actual queen. The rooms are all unique and well furnished. The beds are comfortable, the bathrooms are large. Each room I've stayed in has a delightful large bathtub. Breakfast is delicious and served in an elegant dining room. Dinner in the restaurant is marvelous and also served in an elegant dining room or on the beautiful back terrace. The staff are efficient and friendly and knowledgeable and kind. The entire experience was joyful. My girlfriend felt like a princess. I plan to return to this hotel, and I highly recommend it to others. They have a Porsche available to rent, a very cool experience if you enjoy driving. The gardens around the hotel, especially the rose garden, are magnificent. The golf course that surrounds the hotel isn't run by the hotel and is highly exclusive. If you're not an accredited golfer, they won't let you play, or even use the driving range, even if you're a hotel guest. Not being able to golf was the only negative aspect of our time at this hotel. Next time I'll call the golf course in advance to avoid any unexpected problems. Overall, this hotel is amazing and I give it my highest recommendation.
