- Guest rating: 9.6/10 (Exceptional, 80 reviews)
- Review: Great base for the Harz area. We stayed here for three days to visit the Harz National Park and mountains. We were shown the property by a really friendly receptionist at the adjacent hotel. There is a really well equipped kitchen, a comfortable bedroom, and a table and chairs outside. We could order bread for the morning which was delivered to the door. It was walking distance to all the main parts of the town and a great choice of restaurants for dinner. So many things to do in the Harz, lots of walking, cycling, lovely scenery., by Mary, Stayed Sept 2023
