“Good family hotel”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2009

This is a typical family hotel. Guests are either families with young children or seniors. It is close to the Bayerische Wald National Park and a good base to enjoy the national park. The hotel is located on a hill, which means that the walk from the town centre of Grafenau is quite uphill and takes about 15 minutes.

Our twin bedded room was small. The bedding layout looked more like a single room that is occasionally used as a double room. It is by far not that spacious as the pictures on the website seem to suggest (the floor plan on the website is correct). We had a nice balcony overlooking a green hill. The hotel has a big indoor swimming pool. The restaurant is fine and not expensive. In the lounge you will find the bar and in the evening it is nice to have a drink over there.

I would like to compliment the staff. Without any exception all staff is very friendly and helpful. Wire less internet is available in the room at a cost of about EUR 9.00 for 8 hours of use. Overall I would say this hotel deserves 3-4 stars. It is not very expensive, at least in autumn, and as such it is great value for money.

“Great facilities in laid back location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 July 2009

person found this review helpful

As mentioned, there is a an air of sedateness but also of spaciousness, both inside and out.
As well as the usual bar and restaurant, there is also a leisure centre and mini golf (our German host thought the term "crazy golf" amazing) and a nice playground.
The room was very nice with a balcony looking out over the order of Bavaria. Breakfast excellent. We used it as a base for the Bavarian forest and Passau and Regensburg and it was great to escape back to, though not that any of the cities/towns in Bavaria is croweded when one is used to Dublin. Only downside was the long corridor to our room with a worn carpet, but that's common enough and I think there is some upgrading going on very discreetly. Overall, excellent.

“good value for money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 September 2006

My husband and I stayed three nights to explore the Bavarian woods.
We liked the hotel, even though it had a somewhat 'sedate' feel to it (lots of silver haired guests, very corny singer in the bar in the evening).
The room was comfortable and clean with a good bed and bathroom. The location was quiet and suited our purpose, we could take long walks right from the hotel. The breakfast buffet was good with a nice array of food.
By booking way in advance through the accor website we got a nice bargain.
We would stay in this hotel again.
