Not only are the facilities and atmosphere of the German Village Guesthouse absolutely superb, but the helpfulness and service provided by their staff are among the best I've ever seen.

I reserved the Whittaker Suite at the Guesthouse for two nights for my girlfriend and myself, as a romantic anniversary getaway. The suite is out of this world: Gorgeous bedroom, living room, kitchen and bath, with all of the amenities one could want for a weekend to remember.

Unfortunately, I discovered just as we were heading to the guesthouse that I had mistakenly reserved room #2 rather than Suite #2 when I signed up online. The guesthouse owner was incredibly helpful at helping make the best of things: The suite wasn't available Friday night, but they had it free on Saturday. She even offered to help move our luggage from one to the other while we were out Saturday, and gave us a late checkout on Sunday morning to help make up for the disappointing mistake.

There was champagne and strawberries waiting in the suite when we arrived. It was even more wonderful than I had remembered. And a few days after I got home, a package arrived from the guesthouse containing a necklace and iphone plug that I had left in the suite--they had sent it back to me without even asking.

One can find other top-of-the-line, beautiful B&Bs with great amenities several places around the country, in the middle of delightful neighborhoods filled with shops and beautiful buildings...but service like the German Village Guesthouse's is very hard to come by. This place stands out in every way. Come and visit--I guarantee you won't regret it!

fantastic - great location - great eating places w/in walking distance

As far as Bed and Breakfasts go- this one is a joy, not just from the accommodations, but the neighborhood keeps getting better. So many fun places within walking distance that are outstanding. Katzingers for a deli, Lindy's, Barcelona, Thurman Cafe etc for dinner-
There is the book loft- for disappearing in stacks of books-
the patisserie - Pistacia Vera is awesome.
But- the GVGH is still the star. The rooms are quiet, well fitted, the communal spaces wonderful, and the garden (which we've never had time to enjoy) is very nice.
You don't see much of the hosts- but, they've left you a book on the community, complete with a DVD about the neighborhood.
Great place to escape the bustle and just hunker down to relax.

Amazingly relaxing! When I told my boyfriend we were staying at a B&B he shuddered at the thoughts of rose bush-print duvets and lace curtains. Not here! Modern, crisp, comfortable. He's a huge fan and has already recommended to others. Also, dreamy beds. We plan on writing the owner to get the make and model.
