Scopri il tuo soggiorno a Schlangenbad

Schlangenbad hat schon bessere Zeiten gesehen, aber das ist lange her. Die meisten Gäste werden jetzt wegen irgendwelchen medizinischen Behandlungen kommen. Das Hotel bietet außer sauberen Zimmern eigentlich nichts, weswegen man es aufsuchen sollte. Die Lobby ist große und kühl mit Marmorfußboden, ein Restaurant gibt es nicht, auch keine sonstigen Einrichtungen. Die Rezeption war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit, ganz besonders möchte ich die Anstrengungen des jungen Mannes am Abend hervorheben, der mir einen Ausdruck einer mail organisiert hat. An den Zimmern gibt es nichts zu bemängeln, der Fahrstuhl ist winzig, was sicher dem Erbauungsdatum des Hauses geschuldet ist. Angesichts der enormen Kosten für einen Umbau wird man das wohl so belassen, denn wie schon erwähnt sind die großen Zeiten als ”Bad” vorbei, was anderen Kurorten aber ähnlich geht. Das Frühstücksbuffet war ausreichend bestückt, auch hier gibt es nichts zu bemängeln. Ein Rundgang im Ort lohnt sich, das schöne alte Kurhaus ist sehenswert und einige andere Häuser auch wie der ”Russische Hof”. Ob sich das wiederbeleben läßt? Fazit: erste ( und wohl einzige) Wahl, wenn man im Ort zu tun hat.

This is just an outstanding place, with many quirks but they add to the charme - it's a 19th century chateau right by the Rhine (not on the levee; nothing is, the Rhine can be fierce), and it is very much a boutique chateau hotel. The place is famous as a two-star Michelin restaurant, but we went Monday-Wednesday when it's closed (but you can still get wine on the terrace etc.), which meant much more quietude, and it was great. Key for the experience was that we had the Tower Suite, their prime room, which has historical value - the German Constitution was discussed here shortly after WWII by the key party leaders. The bathroom is fine, the bedroom a bit low-ceilinged and dark, but the actual Tower Suite is great. It's a real space. Some constructive criticism: It's a consciously non-hip historical property, but in 2023, I think a Nespresso machine or at least a kettle is a must. In this suite, there shouldn't be random books, but at least a copy of the Constitution and a picture of Adenauer, Heuss and Carlo Schmid. To have the jacuzzi not work and not tell this in advance is so-so. And for a 400+ suite, I would as usual throw the breakfast in... But we really liked the wine selection (and the free carafe in the room); parking is great; and the staff was truly friendly and courteous. There is no elevator; the speed road goes right by between river and house (but that is the Hessian politicians' fault); and there is no pool or gym. But that one knows in advance and it's not a problem. So altogether, a very strong recommendation, especially for that suite. It's a significant, truly charming, almost otherworldly place, and if you like this - and in one of the loveliest regions of Germany - it's just a fantastic place.

The Oranien hotel in the Weisbaden was by far one of the best hotels I've ever had the pleasure of staying in. There are a number of qualities I look for in a hotel after staying in them for more than 40 years. The Orion ticked all my boxes and in most cases surpassed my expectations. The property was exceptional clean and elegant. You had a good feeling throughout the property from the front desk, lobby, bar, event rooms, breakfast area, etc. The breakfast was a delight and very very good. The staff was exceptional. The front desk Manager Nicole and Assistant Eli were beyond friendly and informative. They always brightened your day with their friendly customer service. Andrea and Carmen worked tirelessly during the breakfast service. They also provided excellent service and warm caring smiles during breakfast service. You would also see the owner moving throughout the hotel making sure everything was up to its' highest standards.;
