The proprietor could not have been a more friendly and helpful man, staff were lovely, the hotel Immaculately clean and the breakfast very good indeed.
Our room faced away from the river (toward the castle hill) and was a reasonably good size, the bathroom with multi jet shower was just what we needed after 370 miles of motorcycling that day. Only downside was squeaky floorboards, minor problem.
Brilliantly situated for the town and the river, secure parking for the motorcycles, English speaking host, excellent. Okay its a little more expensive than I usually look for but you get what you pay for, would I go there again, yes without a doubt. Enjoyable and I do recommend.

Love this place and the owners go out their way to make you feel comfortable. The breakfast is amazing, the place is very clean, and the location is less than five minutes walk from the centre. They are great with dogs also!

Room was spacious with excellent bathroom and breakfast was very good. Access difficult with flight of steps from street to main entrance of the older building then poorly lit spiral staircase ( 2 of 3 lightbulbs missing and not replaced despite reporting it) to upper floors which made bringing in luggage very difficult). Unsuitable for anyone with limited mobility or heavy baggage. Room at back was gloomy and had disappointing outlook over air conditioning outlets from kitchen We planned our arrival soon after 5pm which was when check in was said to be available but notice on door told us to ring a mobile number instead. We were given digits to feed into a machine which gave us our key. A family run hotel should be providing a personal welcome at check in time rather than doing it by phone contact and expecting guests to look after themselves on arrival in a hotel that appeared deserted.

We were told there would be a lift. No lift in our building (of 2). Smaller but OK rooms. No refrigerator. Wintertime so we used the window sill outside.

The staff (owner) was especially rude and hostile to the touring group I was with. Apparently the owner had implemented a “no touch” policy for Covid containment. No other hotel in the area had any such policy. Instead of reminding the guests during the breakfast he yelled and berated them. Incredibly unprofessional! We were English and American group so possibly this was the issue. Did not see him berating the German guest. Would not recommend this hotel for anyone!

Nice breakfast and quite strict corona safety regulations applied! Nice showroom, and nice garden with view and chairs.

Do NOT stay here. Will overcharge you.
1. Booked for 8 nights for work. Work ended early and gave notice was checking out early but still charged me for three rooms for remaining three nights for an additional $1,500.00! Told me booking charged them so must charge me. Called booking and they were willing to refund but hotel was not. 2. Room was not what was advertised because was shown room with balcony and paid for upgraded room. Would not have complained but for the first complaint. No shame.

Views of the Mossel river from cozy teddy bear themed hotel. A fresh delicious breakfast with scrambled eggs made to order and friendly staff. The single room was a bit snug but very nice non the less.

Fabulous hotel, friendly staff and well equipped rooms with wonderful views of the Mosel from our private balcony. Can't recommend it enough.
