From the moment wearrived, we knew that we were in for a relaxing, comfortable break. The hotel's situation is perfect, in the main square next to the Rathaus, and a few minutes' walk from other attractions. Our room overlooking the garden was peaceful and extremely comfortable, and as others have said, the hotel's breakfast is just SUPERB. Staff are friendly and helpful, and there were no negative aspects at all, except, possibly, the menu prices in the evening, but as there are so many other eateries within 2 minutes' walk, this wasn't a problem. We made good use of the Harz visitors' pass given us at check-in, travelling for free to Quedlinburg and back on the extremely efficient service. We also bought a 3-day pass for the narrow-gauge railways, so much better value than individual tickets. The whole town and area is charming, and as long as you are prepared to speak a little German, there's a lot to discover. We went for the tailways, but fell in love with the area, and plan to go back if we can!
