Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Like: SPA is amazing, big-ish pool with integrated jacuzzi, lots of beds, bar, free fruits, water and tea; nice saunas, clean 10/10, towels, chairs, beds. Massages are mediocre, don't expect anything wow. Restaurant is amazing, food is 8/10, service is impeccable, expect high end prices. Breakfast is probably one of the best in DE, cant complain, maybe add more vegetables and some more lactose free stuff, the made on spot omelettes are almost perfect. Bar is nice, smoking area, cigars shop, nice cocktails, expect high end prices here as well. DON’T like: Rooms??? All of them… except maybe the high end ones - the suit style which are spacious, clean of course, big bathrooms. Tbh big and clean bathrooms have even smallest rooms. Pillows are terrible, just change them for Christ sake, they feel like a piece of cloth with nothing inside, feels like having nothing under your head. Mattress are almost as terrible but are manageable for 1-2 nights. Beds well depends on the room, the single business whatever rooms feels like you are staying in a hostel, student dorm rooms, smallest bed ever.

A night away from kids

The food was fabulous. The staff were friendly and attentive. The swimming pool was very calming and relaxing. Sadly, due to the fire the sauna was still closed. Was still able to have a very nice massage, but selections are very limited at this time. I had a double business room. It was comfortable but pretty basic. It was very clean. Biggest downside was the bed. I know this is considered an upscale, German style hotel but the bed was just 2 single beds pushed together. And the beds had hard wooden frames so in the middle there was a large separation with wooded framing. I would have at least expected a modern queen sized mattress in this upscale hotel. Also the bathroom door hit the toilet and the bathroom was very small. Non of this was a problem for my stay alone, but sharing with another would definitely have been less comfortable.
