Hotel Traube

Comfortable property in a very quiet area, among vineyards. Courteous Welcoming. Very large junior suite equipped with TV, kitchenette, fridge and air conditioning. Some signs of wear in the bathroom and bedroom. Little maintained garden, Great breakfast with savory and sweet products. Good typical cuisine at the restaurant; local wines. Too bad for the presence of very annoying flies during dinner. Average prices

It's a nice country hotel. The main reason for choosing this hotel was the presence of air conditioning. And that was a good thing: it was very hot (30°C +). Fortunately, the air conditioning worked properly. But there are also the necessary comments. The hotel has no elevator. We were on the 2nd floor. So that was lugging. The young man from reception did bring our biggest suitcase upstairs. There are insufficient paved parking spaces at the hotel. We had to park on a fallow dusty piece at a construction site next to the hotel. There would be a Biergarten. So I thought after a long warm day of travelling I'd take a seat there with a beer. Well, that kite didn't fly. On the street side were a few tables on a narrow strip of pavement. I didn't like that. And at the back there were some tables on a balcony. Not great either. So let's sit inside. I suspected, but I'm not sure, that it wasn't draught beer at all, but came from a bottle; I could look in the kitchen and saw a whole bunch of empty bottles there. The beers also came from the kitchen every time. There was no tap in the restaurant area. We actually expected a cozy Landkneipe. In the evening we used dinner there. There were few alternatives nearby. The price/quality ratio was totally missing. Paid a lot for little food. The map itself was pretty limited. I had Schweine medallions with Spätzle and a little red cabbage for €22. I got 3 thin dry baked lockets with a diameter of less than 4 cm and a bump of Spätzle. The salad also had to be ordered separately. My wife a small pile of Kalbgeschnitzeltes and also here a lump of Spätzle. It was all rather disappointing. A total of €80 for 2 main courses, salad, 2 beer and 2 wine! Kaching! We are used to that in German Gasthöfe in the countryside. But there are also positive points. The already mentioned air conditioning. Our room (Doppelzimmer mit Couch) was more than adequately spacious. Our room did have a relatively small bathroom. The bathroom looked neat but the shower cabin was rather on the cramped side. And then the door could also only half open because of the sloping roof. A challenge for the fatties. Just to get in. Breakfast (at weekends until 11:00) was excellent and with an extensive choice of hot and cold toppings. If desired, there are still eggs prepared for us. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Yet we won't make another stop here. We have a different picture at a Landhotel.

The food in the restaurant is really inadequate. The chef manages to mess up the simplest dishes. This has nothing to do with cooking. There are to all dishes: Rice, penne or fries. A roulade with fries, that's not how you think of the country kitchen. Never again!
