- Verhoeven (10/5): Heel esthetische en fijne plek! - Zeeer fijne plek, heel makkelijk om zelf in te checken en heel vriendelijk personeel. Zeer lekker ontbijt! Ik zou zeker terugkomen Werf vlak voor het raam, kunnen ze zelf niet aan doen natuurlijk

- Fiorina (10/5): Wir hatten einen sehr angenehmen und schönen Aufenthalt. Wir kommen gerne wieder zurück! - Die Lage ist schön und das Hotel liegt direkt am Fluss in einem ruhigen Wohnviertel. Der Check-In via Hotel-App funktioniert unkompliziert. Die Architektur des Hotels ist sehr originell und die Einrichtung ästhetisch und passend gestaltet. Das Frühstück ist vielfältig. Etwas Kleines, das vom Hotel in Zukunft zur Verfügung gestellt werden könnte, wären Hausschlappen. Alternativ wäre eine Möglichkeit zu erwähnen, dass keine zur Verfügung stehen und bei Bedarf selbst mitgebracht werden müssen.
- Sabine (5/5): Schönes, designtes Hotel für uns leider nicht geeignet! - Optisch ein sehr ansprechendes Hotel mit wunderschönem Design. Das Hotel ist sehr dunkel, die Beleuchtung nicht optimal. Das Zimmer ist nicht für ältere Personen geeignet. Das Bett ist über zwei Absätze (sehr gefährlich, Stolperfalle) zu erreichen und ist dann bodentief. Ablageflächen (Nachtisch) gibt es nicht.
Lage: Die Bundesstraße ist laut, der Zug ebenso (auch nachts)
- Joachim (6/5): - Der Fernseher hat nicht funktioniert nur Samsung TV.
- Lena (10/5): -
- Renate (9/5): Ausgefallenes Designer, Hotel mit gutem Ambiente - Hell, tolle Architektur, luftig, konsequentes Design Baustelle vor der Tür
- Ariane (9/5): -
- Uta (5/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): Jeder Zeit wieder - Sehr schönes Hotel / super Frühstück. Was will man mehr …. Nichts
- Markus (9/5): -
- René H. (9/5): -
- Frank (8/5): Top… ich komme wieder… - Ist halt ein Architekten-Hotel…
Gutes Design, guter hochwertiger Materialmix.
Großzügige Zimmer, mal nicht im Standard Format.
Gutes Frühstück.
Sehr freundliches Personal. Kleiner Parkplatz mit ungünstig positionierten Ladeboxen.
Vielleicht war aber einfach auch mein Ladekabel zu kurz 😉
- Bobyliak (10/5): -
- Luc (8/5): -
- Alexander (10/5): -
- Julia (8/5): Gemütlich, nettes Personal im Café, nicht alles bis zu Ende gedacht - Die Zimmer sind gemütlich, das Café ist zum Entspannen Das Licht in den Zimmern ist doch sehr schummrig. Vor allem im Badezimmer braucht man ordentliches Licht. Das Bad hat etwas Hallenbad Atmosphäre.
- Jan (10/5): -
- Thomas (10/5): -
- Vera (10/5): -
- Peter (10/5): Beautifull - Architect is genius All was more than very good
- Peter (10/5): Outstanding! - Prachtig en van hoge kwaliteit. Nog nooit in een lekkerder bed geslapen dan hier… Alles is prima bevallen
- Birgit (10/5): Sehr zu empfehlen!! - Ein sehr gut, von Architekten gestaltetes Haus, modernes Design und hochwertige Ausstattung. Großzügiges Zimmer + Bad + Balkon mit tollem Blick auf Berge und Fluss. Ein großes Lob ich habe mich richtig sehr wohl gefühlt und gern jederzeit wieder!!
- Achim (9/5): Kleines, modernes Hotel - Modernes, ansprechendes Designhotel. Sehr geräumiges Zimmer. Gute Ausstattung und gutes Preis-/Leistungsverhältnis. Die beschriebene Minibar habe ich leider nicht gefunden....😊

- Alice (10/5): Soggiorno stupendo, per chi ama i dettagli di design e architettura. - Soggiorno stupendo, per chi ama i dettagli di design e architettura. Una struttura bellissima, si vede che è stata pensata e studiata da architetti con una visione speciale. Materiale, arredo e insieme davvero bellissimo. Ottima struttura senza reception, con servizi per check in e check out perfettamente funzionanti ed efficaci. Super consigliato. Anche il bar, accogliente, riunisci persone anche dall'esterno in un momento conviviale e all'insegna di buonissimi snack e torte. Forse l'inserimento all'interno del paese non è dei migliori, mi ha stupito trovarlo nella zona più industriale del paese. Ma le scelte architettoniche degli esterni e del tipo di architettura sanno completamente farti dimenticare dov'è posizionato, facendoti sentire Comunque immerso nel verde, nella calma della natura circostante.
- Patrick (9/5): -
- Franziska (9/5): - Außergewöhnliches, ausgeschüttete Hotel, hat mir sehr gefallen Beim einchecken, kein Personal fort Ort
- Nils (10/5): Tolles Konzept mit außergewöhnlicher Qualität bzw. Leistung! - Ein tolles Designhotel mit außergewöhnlicher Ausstattung und einer schönen Dachterrasse.
Das Frühstück und der Kaffee in der dazugehörigen Tagesbar waren unsere Highlights, da ausschließlich Qualitätsprodukte angeboten werden und der Geschmack fantastisch ist. Die Tagesbar schließt zwar um 17 Uhr, jedoch weist das Hotel auch aktiv auf umliegende Restaurants und Gaststätten hin. Aus unserer Sicht daher kein Problem, da dies vorab klar kommuniziert wird. Wer ein Abendessen im Hotel möchte, ist somit hier fehl am Platz.
- Maria Theresia (7/5): - Hochwertige Materialien und anspruchsvolle Gestaltung Das Bett war nur über ein Podest erreichbar. Es gab zwar eine Sitzbank und ein Sitzkissen, beide für Menschen mit Rückenproblemen nicht wirklich geeignet. Ein einfacher Stuhl fehlte. Die Beleuchtung war nicht praktisch.
- Berno (9/5): -
- Heribert (9/5): -
- Hans van Dijk (7/5): Wel goed, maar kan beter! - Er was geen ontbijt, de locatie was een bedrijvenpark. Er was gedoe omdat mijn creditkaart gehakt was via een mail via Booking.com van het hotel. Alles gaat via mail of internet bij dit Hotel, je krijgt toegangscodes waar je zelf de deuren met je telefoon kan open doen, totaal geen persoonlijk contact. Een aantal jaren geleden heb ik in de zelfde plaats in een hotel met dezelfde naam gelogeerd, ik was in de veronderstelling dat dit hetzelfde hotel was. Dat was echter niet zo. De kamer was verder prima, mooie badkamer en we hebben goed geslapen een nachtje voor onze verdere reis naar Zwitserland. Volgende keer neem ik toch weer een 'normaal' hotel met iemand aan de balie. Eigenlijk alles, begon al met verwarrende mails via booking.com over betaling waardoor mijn creditkaart vlak voor onze vakantie gehakt werk, gelukkig reageerde de bank uitstekend op en stuurde op korte termijn een nieuwe kaart die ik zeker niet meer bij booking.com ga gebruiken. Geen reactie van het hotel of booking.com. Dat was geen goed begin van ons verblijf in dit hotel. De omgeving is prachtig, uitzicht is op een rivier en in het dorp is het goed toeven.
- Heide (8/5): Angenehmer, erholsamer Aufenthalt in schickem, hochwertigem Ambiente mit sehr wenig persönlichem Kontakt zum Personal. - Außergewöhnlich gestaltetes Hotel. Digitaler Empfang funktioniert gut. Personal ist bei auftretenden Fragen telefonisch erreichbar oder ruft nach kurzer Zeit zurück. Schicke Ausstattung, nicht immer funktional aber schön. Zimmer mit Blick zum Fluss Elz. Kleiner Balkon. Inhalt der Minibar war überschaubar aber inklusive. Sehr leckeres, reichhaltiges Frühstück in der Café Bar, besser mit vorheriger Anmeldung. Wenn man noch Lust auf etwas zu trinken hat oder eine Kleinigkeit essen möchte, bietet das Hotel nach 17 Uhr nichts an. Da wäre ein moderner 24 h Automat keine schlechte Idee.
- Thomas Schlögl (9/5): Ein schöner Startpunkt für Schwarzwald-Ausflüge - Design und Comfort Frühstück und die Lage
- Alex (10/5): -
- Maren (10/5): Perfekt, wir kommen wieder! - Zeitloses Design, außergewöhnliche Aufteilung der Zimmer, geschmackvoll eingerichtet, tolle Materialien und Qualität der Ausstattung
- Alastair (10/5): -
- Giulia (9/5): Modernes Hotel in entspannter Lage - Super schöne, große und moderne Zimmer. Wir hatten einen kleinen Balkon mit Blick auf dem Fluss.
Unten gibt es ein tolles Café. Das Frühstück war total lecker und alle Mitarbeiter sehr nett.
Check- in und out waren unkompliziert, da wir vorher schon per Online Check- In alles ausgefüllt hatten.
Weitere Pluspunkt, dass man mit Hund anreisen kann. Komischer Geruch wenn man in das Zimmer gekommen ist.
- Yvonne (8/5): -
- Matthew (10/5): -
- Mair (9/5): - Ultra bequeme Betten und Bettwäsche! Wunderschönes Ambiente, nettes, zuvorkommend Personal, eine Oase im Industriegebiet.
Wunderschöner Ausblick auf den Fluss.
Einziges Manko ist dass das Café sehr früh schließt und man es am Abend nicht bei einem Getränk noch genießen kann.
- Monika (10/5): -
- Maria (9/5): - Tolle Einrichtung! Wunderbares Bett, Kissen und Decke! Sehr ruhig. Schöne Aussicht auf den Fluss
- Bernd (10/5): -
- Andreas B. (10/5): -
- Jens (7/5): Zimmer ok, ansonsten eher anonym. Keine gute Lage, Auto immer erforderlich. - Lage ist direkt neben einem metallverarbeitendem Betrieb, Arbeitsbeginn um 7.00h. Nicht sehr romantisch. Der tägliche Zimmerservice.
- Marie-Paule (9/5): - Schönes Design. Grosse Zimmer. Sehr gutes Frühstück !atratzen zu weich. Keine Klimaanlage, recht warm im Sommer an heissen Tagen.
- Kai (10/5): Angenehm individuell & sehr empfehlenswert! - Sehr angenehm schick, ruhig gelegen mit tollem Café und Frühstück! nix
- Jeannine (10/5): eine trouvaille! - eine trouvaille, wir sind nun bereits zum zweiten mal gäste und kommen sicher wieder!
beton und holz vom schönsten, das essen sehr ausgesucht und lecker!
- Emma (10/5): Perfect - Amazing design and communication Amazing
- Sydney (7/5): Good - Really cute place, comfortable room. It was pretty muggy with no fan, and reception closed kind of early so we couldn’t get one.
- Jelena (9/5): Superb -
- Arz (9/5): Nice hotel - The staff was very helpful and friendly, the rooms were nice and clean
- Tesema (10/5): Exceptional - Everything. This place is just perfect.
- Maximilian (10/5): Exceptional -
- Monica (10/5): Newer clean and comfortable. - Loved the uniqueness of the architecture and design. Everything felt new and up to date, the bedding and towels were soft and luxurious and the room was very quiet. The cafe was cozy and the breakfast was delicious. The lighting at the bathroom sink could have been better. It was a bit out of town.
- Haakon (7/5): A nice stopover with our dog, providing most of the basics - Modern, stylish, super friendly staff and a great breakfast. Room was too hot and we couldn’t leave the balcony door open because of our dog. Pillows weren’t very comfortable and the soap was quite cheap.
- Josef (9/5): Overall very good - Breakfast was great as was the room. Staff was very friendly and went out of their way to be helpful. Check-in was cumbersome. Reception was manned only for short periods during the day, and the directions for self check-in could have been more detailed
- Michele (8/5): Very good - Room was great
Design was amazing
Cafe was awesome No reception staff to assist with check in or Transfer issues
We were UNABLE to find the key safe for manual key cards ☹️
Internet issues initially and unable to open doors.
- Darren (9/5): Superb -
- Razvan (5/5): Nice try but too expensive, not worth it. - Modern and clean; liked the design of the café Not good value for money, the self-designed couch was a mess and I ended up sleeping better with my mattress on the floor.
- Andre (7/5): Great design, wrong room - We loved the hotel design, it is really interesting. The room was very spacious and extremely comfortable. Everything was clean and spotless. The self check-in works very well.
Just a lovely place. The picture on room details regarding room view/ window didn't match the actual room, since this had a concrete wall just outside the window. Therefore, visibility and light entering the room were severely compromised. This was upsetting, I wouldn't have booked this room/hotel had I know this in advanced. Room details were misleading (see pictures).
With the self check-in/out, we ended up having no physical interaction with staff, which takes away from the guest/hotel experience. The main bed could be firmer.
- Sanja (10/5): Exceptional - The room was very beautiful
- Carolin (7/5): Good -
- David (8/5): Very good -
- Innokenty (3/5): Disappointed. Not worth the money. - The size of the room was decent. That’s the only good part of our stay. First, I must tell the room has no AC or ventilation. Outside during the day temperatures were high. It was impossible to sleep during the night, I had to leave the terrace door fully open. There was no air. I wasn’t able to have any good sleep.
The shower is very cheap, very poor, flow is very weak, temperature of water changes a lot while you are having a shower, it’s horrible.
TV was not working at all.
I don’t think it is a design hotel to be honest. One thing, besides your bed there is no shelf no nothing to put anything, so I had to put my things on the floor, how is that for a design?
The other thing about the hotel - it’s a ghost hotel. I saw people only when I arrived at the hotel, that person was about to leave the place, and the other time was during the breakfast (nice lady btw)
No reception, no staff during day and night. When I was leaving the hotel there was nobody there.
The hotel location is in the industrial zone.
I should have booked a hotel in the mountains. Very disappointed.
- Bakhtiar (9/5): Superb -
- Mohammad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Avni (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mohammad (10/5): Exceptional -
- Cheonghun (9/5): Superb -
- Rami (10/5): Excellent for business trip - The cleanses and quality of facility Missing small desk for computer work
- Hicks (9/5): Room with a twist - Full of character.. Cindyy big bed and unique shower Staff a little slow and unwelcoming, felt like I walked into a working office.. No remote in bedroom for TV.. Seating for tx area was not the best
- Małgorzata (9/5): Great place to take rest - Everything was really great! Beautiful view from the windows. Big bed and bathroom. Was really nice. Please take some spoon to room, becsuse you can,t do tea what you have on room.
- Paul (7/5): Once was ok - The hotel was quite unusual - both good and bad. The room was spacious. The furnishings were of a high standard: bed linen; balcony chairs; bathroom cosmetics. The breakfast was good. About 15min walk to the centre of town. Nice view of Kandel. The online check-in and door-opening by smartphone is a gag and a PITA. Couldn't help wondering how we would get in if the battery died. It did work but just felt impersonal (cleaning and breakfast staff were very friendly).
- Mohammad (9/5): Superb -
- James (10/5): Cutting edge modernity near a medieval castle - Beautiful, peaceful view from my private terrace of a rushing river and high hills and trees. Large walk-in shower with rain shower head, beautifully illuminated throughout. Super clean throughout. Excellent breakfast that was very generous and high quality. First impression is like “what?” The hotel is in an industrial zone, and the neighborhood on approach is a bit on the ugly side. But once inside, that all changes. It’s a unique property, and I was delighted by how quiet it was. The bed, set on a double riser, could be a challenge for those with personal mobility or agility issues. Not a fan of the coffee cups - they lack handles.
- Hardie (8/5): Great decor and comfy room. - Very lovely room and comfy bed and bedding The checkin process was very tricky as you needed to be online and you couldn’t get wifi until inside the room. All messages sent to me (and the notices about the checkin process) were in German and I couldn’t understand them. So if I hadn’t had German friends with me it would have been very tricky.
- Tessa (8/5): Very good - Rooms are very nice and the beds are comfy. The design of the place is amazing. We booked a non-smoking room which con tained an ashtray and the stairway had a constant smell of cigarettes. No staff present during the weekends, it feels more like an air bnb.
- Thomas (10/5): Exceptional -
- Kristy (10/5): Exceptional - The room was a beautiful simple modern design. The balcony looked out over a running stream. The beds were very comfortable. The television allowed you to log into your streaming services like Netflix and Prime TV. I only wish we could have stayed a few days longer!
- Aidan (10/5): Exceptional -
- Mohammed (10/5): Cozy and calm hotel - The design and decoration in this hotel are amazing. the atmosphere is unique. The hotel is located in a quiet area close to the river. Staff is very friendly and welcoming. We enjoyed staying here. Nothing
