June of this year (2013) my mother & I went to Weinheim, Germany to attend my cousin's wedding. We…read moredecided to stay at the Goldener Pflug based upon other reviews I had read about the hotels in the Weinheim area. I specifically was looking for a nice hotel with the traditional feel of a German Gasthaus or B&B. I would say we found that in the Goldener Pflug. The room we had was darling. Albeit dated furniture everything was clean, no dust, webs, dusts-bunnies etc. The room was nice, plenty of closet space, the bathroom was down a level but it was our private bath. Upon entering the property, you walk through a beautiful room filled with traditional décor with flowers, carved wood and a large Kachelsofen in the room. We only stayed one night to attend the wedding and reception and then we were off the next morning to visit family in the Odenwald area. We ended up sleeping way too late and missed breakfast. We had not slept for 26 hours and eventually when we did retire for the evening, I set the alarm on my iPad but had forgotten to synchronize the clock with the local time and my iPad was still on MST. We ended up sleeping past breakfast and up until 11 am, which was our checkout time. I woke up abruptly then woke my mother. I dressed & ran out of the room to apologize for over sleeping & any inconvenience we may have caused the owners. The owner seemed less than amused and clearly showed his displeasure and was curt. I guess I forgot how lacking in understanding Germans could sometimes be, albeit I am not perfect I do try to do paradigm shifts when it comes to the misfortune of other instead of being judgmental but not everyone so understanding. This would not keep me from staying at this hotel again however; I would make a greater effort not break etiquette in the future.

Great little hotel with friendly staff and a decent breakfast. This gem is a stone's throw from the…read moremarketplace and shopping. I'm more of a chain guy when it comes to hotels. I know lame, but I like to experience different cultures when I'm awake, when going to sleep I need it more familiar. That being said, I enjoyed this hotel and recommend it to anyone staying in the Weinheim area.

We've now stayed at four NH Hotels (three in this region and one in Berlin). Every one of the…read morehotels has been solid (4 German stars): friendly, English-speaking staff, very fair pricing and clean, comfortable rooms. So far this location is my favorite of all. The room is the most spacious and the bed was just the right firmness. NH now also has free wifi up to 100 MB in all hotels. We paid 70 euro per night without breakfast for an American sized, modern room with two desks and a minibar. Breakfast is 19 euros but we decided to walk two blocks to the local bakery for 4 euros instead. The lobby has a nice atrium with leather couches and there are free single-sex saunas in the cellar. The Weinheim location is especially good for tourists on their way to the beautiful old city in Weinheim, the local castles and wineries and is an easy half hour tram ride to Heidelberg. Of course the location in Hirschberg is closer to Heidelberg but it is not as nice and more expensive. You can also walk to Miramar (an indoor water park with water slides and saunas) from here.

A very nice, clean, basics hotel, the staff is polite and helpful and speak English. The spa area…read moreis a wonderful bonus. Only complaint is rude American youths on tour buses.
