Waldesruh Wanderhotel Externsteine

I only had a short overnight stay, so I didn't get much time to enjoy the hotel. Still, I felt completely at ease while I was there. The breakfast was fantastic and personal, the service was warm, and I had a pleasant conversation too. It's a wonderful family-run place with a really positive atmosphere. Anyone expecting perfect rooms might not be fully satisfied, but people who value genuine hospitality will feel at home. I'd gladly come back. Thank you so much.

The food was good and the atmosphere was cozy. I didn't have much time to take in the historical decorations properly, though. We were there for my father's birthday, and the service was fantastic. One server with short, dark hair made me laugh and smile a few times. She poured my nephew's drink as if he were a VIP, joked respectfully with the teenagers, and laughed with me over a joke some people might have taken offense at. Her colleagues did a great job too. She was back the next morning, just as refreshed and ready for breakfast. Thank you for that!!! ❤️ I’d give the rooms 3 stars, but I didn’t stay overnight, so I can’t really comment on them.

The prices are very reasonable, and the service and friendliness were absolutely top-notch. The house is clean and well looked after, though it’s clear that some renovation is overdue. Keeping a large building modernized in these times and in this location can’t be easy. If you’re fine with things not all being new, I’d definitely recommend it.

We only went for dinner. There was no menu, but the owner offered two choices: schnitzel or salad. She had the salad, while I chose the schnitzel. The food was fairly good, though the coleslaw had a musty taste. We each had a piece of cake for dessert, and with two drinks the bill came to €44.50. I felt that was too much for the quality and atmosphere. It’s a romantic garden pub setting, with fairly good food at a somewhat high price.
