Reviews
Breakfast was generous and delicious, and dinner was both special and full of flavor—a real treat each evening.
The quality, procedures, and situation on site are unfortunately even more modest than in March. Examples: Medical care with very little contact, except in emergencies and problems. No examinations whatsoever. Classes are usually distributed completely arbitrarily, failing to take the situation and development of the rehabilitation into account; for example, patients who have just undergone surgery always practice together with recovered patients. Activities that would have been necessary and helpful at the beginning are only offered shortly before discharge. Unfortunately, I could see in my wife's "planning" for September that nothing positive has happened—quite the opposite.
The cleaning staff still want tips for their useless daily towel changes. Every guesthouse in the area is more environmentally conscious.
Apart from (sleeping) pills, tea, an ancient TV in the room, and ancient puzzles in the basement, the evening "offer" for the three weeks is: the café is open from 6:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m., and the kiosk is open for one hour in the morning. If you can't get out, you're just out of luck. And that includes almost all of the guests who aren't yet fully able to walk. The piano hasn't been tuned in years, and there's no music. So it's best to go straight to bed at 8:00 p.m.!
But then, from the morning onward, there are two large cranes in front of the balconies, with the corresponding construction noise and loud workmen. The parking lot is closed. A wonderful rest! The often elderly guests are very patient and put up with (too) much.
In conclusion: Apart from the magnificent mountain scenery in one of the most beautiful regions of Bavaria, it's just a lot of facade, almost like King Ludwig's fairytale castle. And you'll surely hear the same empty phrases from the "quality management" people below, as with all the critical comments: "We take your suggestions very seriously, of course, and will consider them." Don't believe a word of it. For example, covering everything with photovoltaics without any consideration, while massively cutting costs elsewhere at the expense of guests is irresponsible. But there's also the luxury hotel next door, owned by the same company, with exorbitantly high room rates. Apparently, it's all about the money of the (mostly) insured patients.
Top-notch treatments!
Top-notch consultations!
Top-notch service in the dining room and cafe!
Only the seating in my room (326) was worn and hard.
I would choose this clinic again anytime :)
Keep up the good work!!!
Have a good time to the staff and all the patients.
Best regards,
Klaus Ruider
