Hotel-Restaurant Villa Hammerschmiede

Very tired room, ripped upholstery, seriously stained furniture and carpets, black rust coming from bathroom pipes. It looks like it hasn’t been decorated in many decades, it really needs to be redone. The service was friendly, the food was good, but the place is seriously let down by the terrible state of the rooms and decor. Outrageous given the price of a room.

Cosy room, choice of several pillows, nice bathroom, comfortable beds, good food and very friendly staff. Extended breakfast buffet, large selection of bread & croissants, müesli, fish, meat, fresh vegetables, cheeses, nuts, eggs, yochurt, fresh fruit and so on. Nice sitting area, Quiet location, great for a nice stop-over too.

Allocated a huge bedroom. Good décor & very clean. Provided with a large fan which was very welcoming in the humid weather. Room had the most tiniest of balconies, so sweet. For the first time in 9 nights we had no kettle or coffee machine in the room. Bottle of water provided. Small glass of sparkling on arrival. Terrible internet in the bedroom, if you stood by the door it was much better. Breakfast buffet was good quality with eggs cooked to order. Lovely patio area to eat alfresco. Dinner was well presented and friendly & very efficient service. Our menu did have petit Fours included however we did not get them offered. Would return again if in this area.

We had a few very nice stays here a couple of years ago, but our latest stay was a little disappointing. It was still OK, but the VIP treatment and excellent food that we experienced before is no longer present. The hotel also showed some signs of neglect, and needs maintenance. Food was moderate, nothing like the Michelin star quality of a few years ago. I will not return here anymore, unless the manager decides to perform a major reorganisation.

We booked to stay at Villa Hammerschmiede for three nights thinking that because it was a Relais & Chateaux member it would be wonderful. Unfortunately, the reality is very different. This is a hotel that is living on its reputation. The building and its furnishings are tired and worn and badly in need of refurbishment. But the most terrible thing about Villa Hammerschmiede is the smell of stale cooking oil. Even our room smelled of stale cooking oil. We arrived too late in the day to change our plans and find another hotel. We spent an uncomfortable night and got up early to check out. When we told the receptionist that we were leaving because of the smell of stale cooking oil it was clear from her expression that we were not the first people to have cut short their stay at Villa Hammerschmiede because of the smell.

Wir waren zum dritten Male in diesem Hotel. Wir genoßen das sehr schmackhafte vier Gänge Menue und das fantastische Frühstück. Das Zimmer groß und gemütlich eingerichtet mit zwei kleinen Balkonen zum Wald hin. Sehr freundliches Personal beim Check In und Out, sowie im gemütlichen Restaurant. Wir haben uns gerne in den Stuben zum Essen aufgehalten. Tiefgaragenplatz war ebenfalls vorhanden. Hotel liegt sehr schön in einem Park und man kann ausgedehnte Spaziergänge mit dem Hund machen. Kleines Manko: Hund kostet 25,-€ am Tag und es gab weder eine Decke noch einen Napf. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall, wenn wir uns kulinarisch verwöhnen lassen wollen und die Ruhe genießen möchten, wieder.
