"This part is annoying. I'm happy to give star reviews but the fact that I am made to write out sentences to make mz review known is a real flaw of this platform."

Nordhäuser Fürstenhof

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in one of their tiny houses. It was very clean and nicely decorated. There was a sturdy version of a double-bed bunkbed style, a nice bathroom, a kitchen with a tiny dishwasher, a dining room/sitting area. Plus there was a lovely furnished patio area with each tiny house. There was an air conditioner (did not get it to work), but there were also automated loft windows which were fantastic at cooling down the place. Along the beautifully landscaped path to the tiny houses there was a grass area to air-out the dog and a small playground for small children. The hotel breakfast was amazing with various pâtés, fish, bacon, eggs, yogurt and fresh fruit and fresh bread. It was staffed by an amazing group of ladies. The restaurant/bar was pretty and relaxing. Well done!"

Hotel Niedersaechsischer Hof

10/10 Excellent

"A centrally convenient location with easy inexpensive parking. The breakfast was exceptionally good with broad offerings brilliantly managed by great staff. The bedroom was large, clean with a clean bathroom, including a large walk-in shower."

Regiohotel Quedlinburger Hof

8/10 Good

"Clean and big room and bathroom, lack of desk personnel for check in at a hotel feels like motel. Anyone can get in when door opens by somebody exciting. Breakfast was plenty but low quality. Price and location was good."
