Parkhotel Bad Brambach

Simple hotel without an elevator. Renovated rooms, very friendly and helpful staff. Single room good and quiet. 5 min. to Bad Brambach Very good breakfast - unfortunately no dinner (except in the spa). However, I was offered a snack as a substitute (good and plentiful)

Located directly at the spa park, 5 minutes to the spa. House staff extremely gracious and accommodating - a house to feel good about! Highly recommended: the super delicious homemade plum cake

Was there for one night last week on a business trip that led me to look for a hotel for one night. The results where - astonishing. Room: Clean? Yes. Particularly when we found the ashtray full of used cigarettes. Granted, it was on the balcony - but hard to overlook. Internet? Yes, in public areas only. Well, plus some rooms that are lucky enough to be properly located. If you can run your laptop - because power outlets are REALLY rare, at least in Room 35. This is a serious problem in most hotels (we are 2 and need like 5 outlets for all the devices - 2 tablets, kindle, 2 phones), but here there was NONE besides the bed... unusually bad. Restaurant: Not particularly cheap. The Cordon Blue that I had - was obviously industrial. Quality like in what we call an "Imbiss" in germany, but for restaurant prices. Checkout: Noone available. Sign says to ring the bell at the restaurant. Sadly the restaurant is closed. Is it a crime to go without paying? Well, there was a phone number outside at the entrance. I was told that while the restarant was closed, someone was in the kitchen. Heck, not MY business to SEARCH for the hotel staff. So, a family run style hotel - run by a family that has guests because most likely never pay themselves (this is a bath where people are sent for treatments by german health insurance). My tip: Stay away. If you want acceptable well priced restaurant food - that hotel's restaurant is not it. If you want a clean room - either I was unlucky.... or this hotel is not it.
