Pension Scheiber Hof

Got.

We ended up booking somewhere else after waiting until 5:00 p.m. outside. We had arrived at 3:45 p.m., and check-in was supposed to start at 4:00, but nobody showed up or answered the phone. There were four of us, and we left frustrated. We had tried to book directly first because the website said that was possible, but several emails, around 3-5, and calls got no reply. HRS was the only way we could make a booking. Our friends booked for the same day. They waited 1.5 hours and searched extensively before finding a private cell phone number. The person who answered sounded annoyed and said guests had to register an hour before arrival, though that information wasn't available anywhere, and the number hadn't been provided in advance. They couldn't reach anyone when they arrived either, so they also had to rebook and cancel. With no reliable way to get in touch and no clear check-in details, the stay was completely ruined. Unfortunately, I can't recommend it.

It was horribly dirty and smelled awful, and we still couldn't get into the rooms after the lady from the restaurant let us through the door. Before that, we'd spent an hour outside trying the doorbell and phone, but nobody answered.

For a night while passing through, this might do as a last resort. The rooms don't face the main road, they're a bit noisy, but you can leave the window open, and there's private parking without barriers. There are cameras installed everywhere, so security is good. From outside it looks like an old motel, with a very inconspicuous entrance. All the rooms are on one level, with no reception. You have to call a number to get a PIN for your room, and the doorknob was half-torn out. At first the room seemed acceptable, but a closer look showed stains here and there, sweat, coffee, and so on. The bathroom's handheld showerhead was broken and past its best. I was also surprised there were no smoke detectors. I have no idea why well-known booking portals still offer a place like this.
