It was my first hotel in Viersen, but I received a very special hospitality. I'll visit again next time.

Friendly staff, Good food. Rooms are basic, but value for money. In some rooms the curtains are not wide enough. Breakfast buffet offers a wide range of choices. I have been visiting this hotel for over 12 years now and have never been disappointed.

We stay at this lovely, family owned and run hotel on an annual basis for the past 9 years and and wouldn't think of staying anywhere else in Viersen. Truly professionally run establishment with friendly and accommodating management, lovely rooms and delicious food. The food is always freshly prepared and we've never been disappointed. Great for private functions too.

Very nice and friendly. Unfortunately, they don’t naturally have vegan options available. Since everything is freshly prepared here, they can offer vegan alternatives with timely notice.
