발트호텔 존넨베르크

Top!

Lovely hotel high up on the mountain side with an amazing view of the valley and Luxembourg on the other side of the river. The breakfast buffet was hardy and delicious, and the dinner one of the best I had in Europe! The natural setting was breathtaking. The infinity pool on the bottom floor has a great view of the valley, as well. The town had some fun places to explore, and it is just a short drive to Echternach on the Luxembourg side, which has a courthouse originally built by Charlemagne. If you visit the Waldhotel Sonnenberg, be sure to try their local honey. It is some of the best I’ve ever had! Available in the lobby.

Thanks

I'll start by saying that I'm not a comfortable complainer. I also don't like to leave generally negative reviews, but I can only speak as I find. I've spent a month touring Europe alone on my motorbike so I've spent a lot of time (and money) on various styles of hotels with varying price brackets. First the positives - front of house staff were friendly and the view was main selling point. The negatives - - My room was not clean, especially the bathroom. Sink and toilet stained and the bin not emptied from previous occupant who had left a big clump of trimmed pubic(?) hair. - No air conditioning doesn't really bother me, as long as I can leave a window or door open to get some fresh air. I had my door open for an hour in the evening and the room became infested with many different types of bugs... I mean literally crawling everywhere. - The food was poor, steak overcooked, breakfast options not great compared to every other hotel I stayed at during a month of travelling and 15 different hotels. I also felt quite ill the next day and think it was the food that caused that. - Price. Given this hotel is double the cost of other hotels I've stayed at nearby in Vianden where I have stopped many times during previous trips, I'd expected standards above those places, not lower. I did flag the cleanliness issue to the manager at check out, which I don't normally do. He took the point but said nothing he could do & I should have said earlier. Really, could have been much better!

Super prijs/kwaliteit verhouding en prachtig fiets & wandelgebied !
