"Very nice stay. Clean, friendly and lovely food."

"Over €100/night for a very basic room with window straight onto a busy road is too much. A very noisy family group let the children play outside their room in a tiled hallway which was not conducive to restful sleep. Disappointed that the buns at breakfast were warmed in the oven rather than fresh. The Latte Macchiato this morning was made with sour milk which is an acquired taste, though not mine."

"Pension zur Sonne ist eigentlich ein Gästehaus ohne direkten Ansprechpartner. Man zieht seine Zimmerkarte aus einem Automaten. Wen das nicht stört und gerne Treppen steigt, ist dort gut aufgehoben. Parken direkt vor der Tür. Wenige Meter zum Bäcker, Gasthaus und Getränkemarkt. "

Sure Hotel by Best Western Rhoen Garden

10/10 Excellent

"We booked this hotel just for one night sleep passing through the city. From the moment you walk into this hotel you feel like home. It’s cozy and home like. Comfy bed, spacious rooms and not to mention the view from our balcony. The front desk Hallala (sorry if I have misspelled the name) was so pleasant, respectful and she took care of our big family and checked us out with so much love and attention. I am so sad we didn’t have time to spend couple of nights in this hotel but for sure will be back. Also shout out to bartender/waiter at the restaurant. He was so kind. Thank you for such a nice experience. "
