Hotel Deimann ★★★★★

"It is our t****th stay at the Deimann hotel. The hotel is located in the middle of an undulating landscape. It is a fantastic walking area: not too difficult and well signposted. In rainy weather there is a nice wellness area to fall back on. There is a car park near the hotel across the road. The welcome is warm: you take a seat in a lounge where you are offered (for example) a coffee while the reception lady gives the explanation and the luggage is taken to the room. We opted for half-board: a luxurious breakfast and a solid five-course menu in the evening. There is a choice of main course and a salad buffet. The menu of opened wines is sufficiently extensive and correctly priced. The staff is courteous, helpful and friendly. Speaking some German makes it easier. The vast majority of guests are from Germany itself. Since this year, a new part has been added to the wellness: "See terraces". It is an area with saunas, rest rooms and an "infinity pool" for adults. That zone is also "textile-free". That rooftop pool is wonderfully spacious and relaxing. This means that the crowds that used to be at the swimming pools are better spread."

Berghotel Hoher Knochen ★★★★

"The Berghotel Hoher Knochen enjoys a prominent location on the Hoher Knochen mountain, offering excellent hiking opportunities and magnificent views of the Hochsauerland region. However, the stairs leading to the hotel entrance are insufficiently cleared in snowy weather. The rooms and bathrooms are spacious, but some have windows that don't close. Furthermore, the soap dispensers in some bathrooms and some showers in the pool are empty. Even upon explicit request, the rooms are not cleaned or are cleaned very rarely, and the beds are not made, due to a lack of staff. The buckles on the provided bathrobes are all torn. Worn carpets can be found in the dining room and many other parts of the building. The three-course dinner does not correspond to a four-star hotel, neither in terms of selection nor in terms of quality ("commercial kitchen level"). The breakfast buffet has the problem that, due to a lack of staff, rolls, sausage, and cheese are not replenished or are replenished late. For four days in mid-November, there was no butter available, or only salted butter. Although the entire staff is friendly and helpful, the Berghotel Hoher Knochen is only a 3-star hotel by objective standards."

Romantik Hotel Störmann ★★★★

Landhotel Albers ★★★

"I did not like having no elevator to my room. The stairs up to my room were difficult. American travelers beware…there is no AIR CONDITIONING and no fans or covered balcony. The breakfast was wonderful."

Hotel Jagdhaus Wiese ★★★★

"A 4+ star establishment that is well maintained, but the type and quality of the food does not match the stars. For breakfast, you have to fill out a questionnaire at the table and write down how many slices of ham, salmon, cheese or whatever you want to eat. Then they bring it out and you can eat it. It reminded me of my stay in hospital. Being able to see the delicacies on the buffet whets your appetite and invites you to choose which appetizers you want to eat. Filling out a form is completely unsuitable for this and is not an indication of hospitality. After all, you eat with your eyes too! You can choose the evening menu, but the salad buffet that is typical in establishments of this category is not available! My main course (fish) was so salty that I could hardly eat it - but they simply took note of the complaint and did not try to make amends (as is completely normal in other hotels/restaurants). The prices are really amazing, though. The stay and the strange "hospitality" are quite expensive."

Hotel Stoffels ★★★

"Nice large room, in the middle of the city, very nostalgic but still new modern bed,"

Hotel Hanses-Bräutigam ★★★

"After walking for a short break and relaxation here. Very friendly reception and great service. Heat drinks, cakes and beer (veltins) well served in perfect temperature. Come back. Home-made apple/egg-liquor cakes outstanding."

Hotel Stockhausen ★★★★

Chalet in Schmallenberg Nahe Winterberg Ski ★★★
