Anyone who down-rates this family-run operation is a curmudgeon and an ignorant one! I have stayed here often and lived just around the hill for three years. The local folk come here to marry if they want a special memory -- otherwise they pop a cork at a local city hall (Rathaus). Nearby is Hann Munden and Hofgeismar; two of... more

This hotel has many happy memories for me, mainly due to its idyllic location in the countryside, on top of a hill in a former stately home (it would be pushing the boat out to call it a castle though, whatever their website suggests).

Plus - as the name suggests - they say it was the inspiration for Sleeping Beauty, which is doubtless what attracts many of the visitors. The good points? Its cleanliness.... more

It takes a little effort to find this place, but it is well worth it. After a long drive along country roads, we decided we had found the place when we saw a tour bus parked in the parking lot. We were a little nervous about staying at a tour bus stop, but our fears were unfounded. (The bus had... more

I thought we were lost as we drove miles through deep woods and tree-lined roads that seemed as though elves or witches inhabited their depths. I was beginning to feel we had taken a wrong turn. The road narrowed, the night grew black, and civilization dwindled to near non-existence. The lines on the road faded and I knew we should... more
