What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Tolles Hotel, schöne Gegend, toller Service. Frühstück war schmackhaft und ausreichend. Kaffee etwas mild... aber ok. Wir kommen gerne wieder.”
“Wir hatten die Suite im alten Salzamt für zwei Nächte gebucht. Sehr geräumig und super eingerichtet! Das Frühstück war im alten Badehaus und dies konnte bequem mit einem winzig kleinen Spaziergang erreichen. Das Frühstücksbuffett war völlig ausreichend und das Essen im abendlichen Restaurant war spitzenmäßig. Sehr zu empfehlen hier gleich einen Tisch zu reservieren. Preise absolut angemessen. Vielen Dank für den netten Aufenthalt - wir empfehlen es gerne weiter.”
“Sehr gezügiges wunderschönes, behindertengerechtes Zimmer mit großem behindertengerechten Bad und behindertengerechten Zugang zum Parkplatz, ausreichend Parkplätze. Service sehr hilfsbereit und freundlich, Frühstück sehr gut, Preis Leistung hervorragend”
“We had nice, large room. All decorated in light colours, very pleasant overlooking the river Saale by a hydro-energy station.”
“Leipzig und das Völkerschlachtdenkmal (riesiger kostenloser Parkplatz, auch P&R) nicht weit entfernt, niedlicher Kurort mit 636m langem und 12m hohen Gradierwerk direkt am Hotel.”
