Hof Siebenschon
In January 2017, my family and I stayed for 10 days at the Hof Siebenschon in Rudersdorf, Germany. Let me first say our entire experience was very positive. The owner, Frau Walter, was exceptional and very accommodating. I had read the previous reviews of this vacation apartment and they were very good, but I believe the people rating were likely European. My family and I are from the United States and I think I am the first American to provide a rating. We have stayed in Germany and other vacation apartments in the recent past so I do have some perspective in my opinion(s) regarding German hotel/vacation apartments.
The first day was very special for us because we were already excited and we went straight to Siebenschon directly from the airport. Ms. Walter met and spoke to us and was very gracious. She provided a genuine appreciation we were staying at her vacation apartment. The room we rented was excellent. It was very clean and neat and the decor was up to date and modern. For European standards the bathroom was very spacious and it had updated plumbing. Other than one light bulb not functioning over the stove, all of the electrical devices worked very well especially the heating system. Our room was upstairs and there were many sky lights that provided natural light throughout the entire apartment. The water for the sinks and shower was very strong, but after a long period of hot water use, I have three young girls who like to take long showers, the hot water will cool, but that was a minor issue.
As the week progressed, we had multiple discussions with Frau Walter and she was very pleasant. She was extremely helpful when we had request(s) and was very kind to my children and my wife. One of the very nice aspects of this smaller sized vacation apartment is it has its own parking. It is nice that we did not have to park on the street and an added piece of security is the outside motion lights for the steps and the parking lot. I found that very well thought out and a nice attention to detail. Additionally, it snowed several times during our stay. Every morning before the sun rose, the sidewalks and parking lot was shoveled clean. It did not matter if it snowed 1 or 3 inches, the lots were clean before sunrise.
As you can tell I was very pleased with our stay. This information is for Americans who wish to stay at this business. I said earlier, I have some experience staying in German hotels/vacation apartments. Please be prepared the bed mattresses are somewhat thin. This is normal in vacation apartments in Germany. However, if you have orthopedic issues such as back or hip problems, this could be uncomfortable for you. Also, Wi-Fi is available here at the apartment, but its signal is sorely lacking. Both of these issues are very typical for vacation apartments in Germany. Experience has taught us to invest in a mobile Wi-Fi service. It is an additional cost, but it will make your internet usage less frustrating.
I cannot provide a better recommendation for this vacation apartment. If you are visiting from the United States and you wish to stay in a clean and well run vacation apartment, you will be very happy staying at the Hof Siebenschon. read more
