Hotel Goldenes Lamm

This property is conveniently located inside the scenic pedestrian zone of Idstein, but is accessible by taxi. It is a typical small European hotel, which means the rooms are small but clean with modern amenities, a tiny elevator, and a reception that is only sporadically staffed. A nice breakfast is available by advance booking. Our biggest complaint was the strong smell of tobacco smoke that permeated the halls during the day, but luckily disappeared by check-in time and did not enter our room.

On the way back from winter holiday, we booked another hotel in Idstein. But it happened to be closed for arrival after 16.00h (and we booked it at 16.16h) and arrived at 18.00h. After some one way roads in the historical center (really beautiful) when we were looking for Goldenes Lamm (we found on TripAdvisor) we arrived really close to the hotel (but blocked to get in the right street). We parked the car and walked 10 steps to the hotel, had to ring the door bell and the manger arrived. We were welcomed warmly (also by the small dog) and it was no problem to get a room at a very decent price. Later we realized we were the only guests in the hotel. We received instructions to pick up the car and drive a few blocks around, to get in front of the hotel and from there really around the corner was a commercial parking. We received a larger room with a smaller bath room in the second floor. If you have claustrophobia you have to take the stairs, because of the small and slow lift. Opposite the hotel is an Italian restaurant, where we had a nice dinner. Just a few steps away, we were back in the hotel for a quite night. A really good breakfast in the morning, although the lady serving the breakfast apologized for the quantity of it all (remember we were the only guests). But if we needed more, we would of course get more. There was no need for more food, it was much more then we needed. We had a fine night in a very nice hotel at a very nice price. Perfect for what we were looking for.

Lucky to stumble on this little gem while travelling through Germany. We were offered free tea, coffee or a beer on arrival, by the friendly and exceptionally helpful host. Lovely clean and quiet room with complimentary water and apples! There is free parking in a car park a few hundred metres away.

The hotel is located in the middle of the Idstein Old Town, so convenient for touring. Receptionist was exceedingly friendly and helpful. Our room was basic (no fridge or microwave, no shampoo or lotion) but certainly adequate, clean and bed very comfortable. Breakfast was served for a fee.

Die Unterkunft war sauber, das Personal war sehr freundlich und die Lage befindest sich mitten in der kleinen Altstadt Idsteins. Unkompliziertes einchecken und auschecken. Frühstück war reichhaltig und preislich in Ordnung. Für einen Kurzaufenthalt ist dieses Hotel zu empfehlen:-)

Unterkunft und Essen waren gut. Schöne Zimmer und gutes Frühstück. Personal sehr freundlich! Immer wieder!
