Hôtel-Restaurant Famille Defive — Hotel in Berdorf

Not sure where to start? so will just give you some advice; this place is terrible, DO NOT STAY HERE!!!.||We had been travelling through Luxembourg with the kids for a few days and all had been great until we arrived in Berdorf to stay at the Hotel Defive, should be renamed "Hotel De dive".||The first thing we were confronted with was the cloud of smoke from the front door to the first floor even though in August 2006 Luxembourg banned smoking in public bars and restaurants.||||The kids room had a broken TV and a shower cubicle with no shower hose or shower head in it; The hotelier said "Oh yeah I forgot that!". They did however have another available room for the kids with a shower and working TV; So now with two rooms(niether very good), showers and TV sorted for the evening we visited the local chinese restaurant for a nice meal and glass of wine, good food and good prices all going well, at least i thought so until we returned to the rooms to find them both freezing.||The heating had recently stopped working; my mood slightly loosened by the glasses of red wine we enjoyed over dinner allowed this to slide until the morning when I promised myself I would confront the hotelier, covered in the smell of smoke but warmed by the wine I slept well, nice and quiet if not the most comfortable of beds.||||We all came down for breakfast expecting the usual continental style breakfast or options but no, it was just croisants and cheese not even the traditional/local breakfast choices of meats and breads...shocking, possibly worst ever, the hotelier was absolutely no use at all.||||Overall rubbish, DO NOT...

We stayed one week in hotel DeFive and had dinner in their restaurant. ||We experienced a cosy restaurant and a sympathetic family, they were very helpful to their clients.||The 4 menus that we tasted were fine and we appreciated the ice-cream dessert. ||||||We never expected such friendly hosts! An example: one day I had to see a doctor because of my foot, and the host called the docter for me, he gave the instructions how to get there, he even lend me crutches and afterwards they asked me everyday how my foot was.||||The rooms are also fine and very clean. We even had free wifi and a TV. ||||If we could, we would have stayed longer than a week! We had a very good time there! If you are bored with big unfriendly hotels, GO FOR THIS COSY LOCAL PLACE in a...

Warm old-fashioned pub with lodging with a charming dog-friendly dining area.

Kitchen open till 13:45 at lunchtime.

Affordable (LUX 2022 standards) lunch deal even on a Saturday noon. The "steak Maître d'hôtel" was around 15€, with remarkable double-fried chips and a rich salad. Unfortunately, the sauce replacement request was not considered. Hence minus 1 ⭐: currently ⭐⭐⭐⭐➕!

Affordable (LUX 2022 standards) house wine.

Softly yet solidly 🇱🇺 patriotic.

Charming film decor that can be touched/played/flushed: inuse. If it's working then don't fix it!

Goes without saying that this village boasts some of the sexiest sandstone sights in the Grand-Duchy!

Basically, looking forward to a 2nd try, hopefully, with the correct sauce...
