“Trip to Herrenberg”

We stayed here for a few days while picking up our son from an exchange! It was a pleasant place. Clean with helpful and friendly staff! Roods were comfortable and quiet! Easy walk from the Herrenberg banhof. Would recommend this place to anyone staying in Herrenberg!

“If you are disabled, avoid like the plague!”

We needed a hotel to stay at overnight on our way to the Rotterdam ferry and, ostensibly, this looked like a reasonable hotel.

We needed a hotel to stay at overnight on our way to the Rotterdam ferry and, ostensibly, this looked like a reasonable hotel. On arrival, we were impressed by the fact that it had it's own multistory car park and were also impressed by the speed at which we got booked in. We were given a room on the top floor but they have a lift. The brochure that I picked up said that the hotel was refurbished and extended last year, it did not mention that work is still going on. The lift has had it's lining removed with the result that mounting blocks are jutting out of the lift walls ready to snag your clothes if you are not observant. When we reached our floor, we then found that the light fittings in the corridor had not been finished. Electrical wires were poking out of the ceilings - some with plastic terminals which could easily be pulled off, some with temporary incandescent light-bulbs hanging form them. Obviously a work in progress! The room was clean with a view out over the car-park. The bathroom was a surprise - it took me a while to work out that to flush the toilet it was necessary to kick a button located on the wall close to the bottom of the toilet bowl! I then realised, on looking at the floor plan on the fire instructions, that we had been put in a disabled persons room. What is the sense in putting a disabled persons room on the top floor of a hotel (especially when one is told not to use the lift in a case of fire)? I presume hotels in Germany have to be inspected for safety and the fact that this hotel passed inspection amazes me. We thought that we would take advantage of the restaurant for an evening meal but it turned out that as it was a Saturday night, a wedding reception was being held in the hotel and we were told we would have to eat in the bar which was also being taken over by the wedding guests (the groom thought it was a good idea to park his car in a space clearly marked as access for the fire brigade and no-one asked him to move the car). Added to that, a number of guests brought children in prams which were promptly parked in front of the the lift until pre-reception drinks had been consumed and the party were moved in to the function room. Needless to say, we gave the bar a miss and found a convenient Italian restaurant a short 10 minutes walk away. I can definitely say that we will not visit this hotel again!
