Reviews and Ratings
I found the hotel to be a mixed experience. While the rooms were large and very comfortable, there was an issue with privacy in the bathroom due to a window. On the bright side, the rooms were wonderfully furnished and well-equipped. The service was pleasant and welcoming, with cleaning staff being friendly. The location was convenient, close to the center of Ettlingen, offering a taste of an old German village environment. The dining options were limited but had some nice choices. The facilities were satisfactory, overall.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms varied in decoration, from clean-lined modern to dated seventies, and while always clean, they lacked character and the TV was outdated. The size was just right, not too big like American hotels, nor too small like European city hotels.
The hotel had spacious and well-equipped rooms, but lacked character. Parking was an additional cost. My experience was not great, and I won't be returning due to work travel to the area.
Having a small balcony was a nice touch, but the rooms are a bit outdated with varying decoration styles. The attentive service tried hard to accommodate English speakers but could be loud at times. The hotel's location is convenient near the Ettlingen center and train station, although not ideal for non-smokers due to some smoking areas. The dining options were good but lacked variety in hot food. The facilities generally met expectations.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable with a good bed, but lacked character with no pictures and dark furniture. The en suite was a bit small, and getting a room near the driveway wasn't great. However, the air conditioning was efficient and the room size felt just right.
