“Lovingly restored hotel in a beautiful place with amazingly friendly staff.”
The location was great, right in the heart of historic Berleburg, on the Goetheplatz with its beautiful slate facades, on a hill with great views over the city and the surrounding mountains and in spitting distance of the castle and the Schlosspark. A nice Greek restaurant with outside seating is just opposite. We were in the new part of the hotel, the 'Fliegende Klassenzimmer' (after one of my favourite children's books by Erich Kästner), on the lower level. This wasn't as quirky as the 'Alte Schule', the older part, but had a little sitting area outside overlooking the park below, with afternoon and evening sun, which was lovely. Breakfast was excellent, in a beautiful light-filled room in the 'Alte Schule' with amazing views. The different parts of the hotel are all lovingly restored, with every room in the old part, the 'Alte Schule', looking different. But the very best feature was the amazingly friendly and helpful staff who all made us feel very welcome.

“Great Hotel”
Great Hotel in the middle of the old part of town. Use to be a school house and was remoldeled inside. Very clean rooms. Personnel were very friendly and helpful. They also have a restaurant with very good food. The breakfast is also great with a view of the town. Even the hotel owner came to every ones table to talk to the customers that were there in the restaurant a very nice touch. Can say only good things about this hotel and me and my wife will return
