We had a great stay at Wald Hotel Willingen. It does what is says on the tin. Nothing more, nothing less. The hotel is located slightly out of town, but provided snow conditions are good, it is very close to one of the lifts. Given you need a car to get around Willingen and from one slope to another I think the location should not be a problem. The views from the diningroom and presumably from some of the rooms too are beautiful, you can see all over the valley and town. I would definitely classify this as a family hotel - there were many kids and young families, and the hotel caters for them well. My sister had a family room for 4, we had a family room for 3. Rooms are comfortable, not too small but not much space to dry ski clothes though. We booked half board and they served children's portions for the kids. Dinner is usually a 4 course affair served at your table, though twice weekly there is a buffet which I thought was quite good. The small bar area is cosy and board games etc are provided. The swimming pool and bubble bath are really a family affair, full of kids and their parents. Lots or space for the children to play outside as well.
