ハルデンベルグ ブルクホテル(Relais & Châteaux Hardenberg BurgHotel)

Some qualities of this five star hotel is there - idyllic location, cozy surroundings and nice (but not fantastic) food in the restaurant and for breakfast. But the rooms are small, run down and smells of cigarette smoke. The service in not what I would expect in this segment of hotels. But a big advantage is the location close to autobahn 7 when going up and down through Europe.

Great place both hotel and restaurant - only issue is that EV charging requires a special app

We were looking for a relaxing hotel with German personality that was not too far from the Autobahn, and this fit the bill perfectly! The setting under the old castle is idyllic - my husband enjoyed his hike to see it up close. The room was very comfortable with a view and small balcony looking at the castle. We had dinner in the hotel restaurant and found the service to be delightful and the food delicious. Also had the house cocktail and later the house wine - great recommendations. Breakfast was even better than dinner. That said, the cost of the two meals was about equal to the price of the room. We walked the grounds and wished we had more time to enjoy them - the property is very well maintained.

A hidden gem in the heart of Germany! Excellent service, food and surroundings

Just reading the Hotel Directory will give you the hotel's philosophy; that they are here to serve You, the guest. The directory is hand-signed by the owner, and the same wonderful attention to detail runs like a thread through everything. Delicious food with excellent wine-pairing! Half the staff still wore face masks, which we thought was a negative, as it blocks basic human communication, but at least the rest were all smiles and friendliness!

This is a very nice hotel, great location with view on the castle. Nice rooms, we had one with view on the manege. Good service, good restaurant, great place. Fully deserves the three red houses in Michelin guide. If you want to play golf, they will arrange it, the course is nearby. Can warmly recommend.

A comfortable hotel, with character. Friendly and helpful English speaking staff. Good food. Much to do in the immediate vicinity and further afield. A strong recommendation in a convenient location close to the Harz Mountains.

A very nice stay with friendly staff and a great kitchen. Really recommended. Breakfast is overwhelming while dinner is well worth it. Very nice combinations. The area is also beautiful with hiking trails and romantic places.

What a surprise! Amazing Hotel and professional service. The golf club is top notch. We will come back.
