Urlaubs- und Wellnesshotel Friederike

Located outside town center, so no problem to park your car (for free), the hotel is positioned in a cosy location next to the forest and a major traffic joint of multiple hiking routes. These routes are very well indicated on every second tree you walk by… The Hotel is mid-20th century, very original and authentic. Waitresses serve delicious food in original clothing (dirndls) in a very rustique restaurant. Treatment is very personal, they remember your drink orders the next day. Food is served during the week based on three menus you can choose from the day before. Every day there is a huge vegetable buffet and Sunday a large warm buffet. The rooms are spacious and well equipped, especially in the main building I recommend. For a little more you get an almost suite. The hotel is not suited for disabled and elderly people due to multiple stairs. There is no street traffic so no noise apart from birds and mating deer. In the secondary building there is a nice indoor pool with a complimentary sauna for max. 4 persons. Just ask the reception to switch it on 30 minutes in advance. The hotel offers FREE internet (wrongly mentioned as paid for in most brochures) but the range is limited to the lobby. But being a telecom expert I always carry my TP-link CPE210 client-router that managed to cover the whole building from my room. Everybody was wondering why we were the only people asking for the free 24 hour wifi vouchers NOT sitting in the lobby. Using such a client router you can run multiple devices on a single voucher. If the hotel owner would install two such units he could have coverage both in main and secondary building on all floors. Special award for the kitchen. The chef is doing a great job with very generous amounts of food and a very varying menu. I would highly recommend this hotel to people looking for a short break in a sleeping part of Germany, with a Lidl supermarket within 3 km walking distance over a nice trail. Also recommend visiting the free concrete tower overlooking the area from Ettelsberg.
