I had to come to Rastatt for work so I did a random internet search for places that looked…read moreinteresting to stay. I picked this place because it has a gasthaus in the hotel and online it looked charming and unique. That it is but not in the positive way that was express online.
The reception desk personnel hardly spoke English. The restaurant and gasthaus are really nice but they again do not speak English and their entire menu is in German. I get that I'm in Germany but having traveled all over the world and also being in Marketing, I think it's poor form in 2017 to not provide one other language especially when English is quickly becoming the common language.
The bar and restaurant are pretty and the food was really good! The beer was also very good! I'm glad I picked the right food location.
As for the hotel, it's a dump. The room is very old, the bed is not comfortable, the furniture is aged, there is no heater that you can adjust. The towels supplied are like blue scratchy towels worse than you might have at home. Wifi doesn't reach the bar area so you're limited on range.
Glad I'm only here one night as this is not the most charming town in Germany at all.
