Romantik Hotel Sackmann

This is an old establishment, very well operated as far as hospitality goes--warm, clean, traditionally decorated, and kind of romantically cozy with a good and comfortable athmosphare. The hotel was said to have been rennovated a few years back, expanding and renewing its facilities, etc. (nice gym and sauna area) however, we thought the room carpet could use a slight refreshing treatment. Overall was quiet and relaxing for the most part. Breakfast was rich with a nice assortment of cheese, cut meats, breads, fruits and cake--good coffee and great service. Location is convenient either with a car or without--you can get train tickets from the hotel to the nearest busy town around. Crew of working/service people was really nice and largely accomodating.

Be aware at the time you book your room: we booked a double standard room according to which we saw on both the hotel site and on booking.com. The size of the rooms showing (when we viewed the type of room we wanted ) seemed spacious enough and right for the 5 nights we planned to stay. When arriving we were surprised to find no resemblence (in size) to what was shown for this hotel in general and in particular to what was shown for the type of room we picked! No mention and no pics show the small-size room we ended up getting!! (we will mention that intially we asked for 1 double bed (instaed of 2 combined), but the only room they had with such a bed was even smaller than the one we ended up getting--it was quickly relaized (by the staff too) that 2 people can't fit comfortably in there). As said, the room we got instead, (with 2 beds combined) was very small as well, did not face the forest but rather had a door to an outer courtyard shared between a few rooms. This was dissapointing considering the number of nights we came for, and the comfort we expected to be included within the price of 200 Euro per night. Also decievingly so, the printout of your booking will show only a picture of the bathroom (which is the same in every room) but won't show the room itself. Just pay attention to that because with no picture of the room you booked it is pointless to later complain; for that reason alone we decided to deal with what we got rather quietly and did not attempt to insiston a different/larger room.

The pool was excellent.

Separate mattresses are suboptimal: It should be indicated at the booking There can be circumstances for an elevator to be (temporarily) out of order BUT in which case staff should take care of the luggage, incl. at the departure..
