I enjoyed myself so much that I look forward to returning!…read more
The hotel has undergone renovations in their guest rooms and so our room was spacious and modern.
It was beautiful, chic and accommodating!
There was a small table w/ chair, a desk area w/ chair, an electric kettle, mini bar, safe in the closet, iron and ironing board, and modern outlets for usb connections.
My husband and I booked the whisky tasting event that takes place on the last Friday on the month (usually), and while booking that event they offered a room for an additional value which was too good to pass-up.
The whiskey tasting was held in a private room, hosted by Ralf, the restaurant manager. There was a power point presentation to explain the making of whiskey, the history, and a description of each one. Each event has a theme and this particular event was "around the world", so we were able to taste quality whiskeys from Japan, Scotland, India, USA, Germany, etc.
there was a fine meal served and paired with the whiskey courses as well, which was very lovely and made the evening even more enjoyable.
When we arrived we were the only two Americans in the group and we felt a little out of place, but Ralf spoke English as well, and those other 8 strangers soon welcomed us like family - truly a fun night!
The tasting was about €60/each, and the hotel room just another €65, which included a breakfast buffet as well (whole fruit, cold cereal, juices/coffee, pastries, deli meats, and eggs/bacon/sausage).
I can't say enough how much my husband and I enjoyed our night at Barbarossahof!
The staff was friendly and inviting and a bonus is the Irish pub directly across the street when you want additional night-caps. ;)
