Hotel Restaurant Achilles

As other reviewers have noted, the rooms are very modern and clean (mid-2019), and the staff/family running the place are very friendly, plus it's attached to a great Greek restaurant (do reserve a table; on the Saturday evening that we were there, we were glad we'd made booked seats when checking-in to the hotel, as it was full at 7 p.m. and we saw spontaneous visitors being turned away). We only stayed 1 night, but it's a place that can easily be a base for a longer visit; we didn't get a chance to look ourselves, but the map indicates that a hiking trail or two starts in the forest just across the state road in front of the hotel. (Checking their website just now, I see they actually offer 4-hour guided hikes along trails in the area) Two things to beware of: if arriving from the south (i.e. heading northeast from nearby Rohrbach or the Kirkel-Neuhäusel district toward Kirkel proper), the map and also our GPS/navigator incorrectly indicated that the little parallel street where the hotel is located is a sort of half arc; that isn't true, as the middle of the "arc" is a farmyard, so way to reach the hotel is the little street portion directly in front of it (i.e., the northern access to the "arc"). Second, when arriving for check-in, look into the restaurant first to see if they can handle you there; while there's a reception desk on the upper floor that can be reached via steps on the outside of the building, it was unstaffed.
