We stayed here 3 nights for hiking. The house is a lovely old house, very authentic, old wooden stairs... Cosy. If you love old buildings this is very nice. We had room number 8 which is a nice room with wooden floor, large, modern bathroom and toilet extra. Breakfast was very nice in a cosy room and lots of choices - boiled eggs, yoghurt, fruits, a variety of jams, honey, lots of cheese, homemade cakes, orange juice, etc etc. We also ate at the restaurant one evening which was nice - but very few choices if you do not eat meat ;-) I think in Alsace meat is a very common dish ;.)

They were very nice, so I feel bad being critical, but honestly, this was not a good hotel. I don't think anything in the place has been updated in at...
