Hotels near Sternriedhöhle, Bad Liebenzell

The positives: Modern, pleasant hotel. Decent room size, good shower. Good bed. Friendly, efficient staff. Comprehensive breakfast buffet. Centrally located, town center is at walking distance. The negatives: Breakfast area (= at the hotel entrance) was crowded, not easy to find a table to have breakfast. Also, there is just one set of curtains in the room, to block out any light for sleep. When the room curtains are open anybody in the residential apartments opposite has full sight into your room, so there is a tradeoff between having natural daylight (curtains open) or privacy (curtains closed). All in all, we had a good short stay and the price/quality ratio is good.

This was probably the best hotel in town, right in the centre. It was older, but well maintained and tasteful. A beautiful artwork behind the bed added to a spacious, light feeling about the room. Perhaps the style was a little dated, but as all was in good order it didn’t matter. A pleasant surprise was the wellness/fitness area on the top floor, with lovely natural light and rooftop views - very relaxing.

I would like to complain about the disastrous stay at Hotel Novum Ruf in Pforzheim. I am absolutely disappointed with the quality of your hotel and what we were as rooms. I booked on the internet before and saw pictures of a beautiful room, but when we entered the room, we were shocked. The room was not at all the pictures we had seen. It was dirty (it was spider tissue clearly visible) and had a very different look than on the pictures. When I made the staff aware of it, we were told that it was normal and we should not complain. But that was not all yet. The whole hotel smells to urine and similar. Both the reception and the staircase were intolerable. It was unhygienic and a conception to stay in such an environment. I can't recommend this hotel to anyone and I am really disappointed by our stay. As a young man, it was particularly frustrating that the staff tried to tell us that it was normal to stay in such conditions. I hope you will do something against these conditions in the future and will treat your guests better.

The hotel is located in the western part of the city, directly on the B10, a main access road coming from the A8. It is only about 1 km to the motorway itself (Pforzheim West exit). The building is 6 stories high and has about 200 rooms. In my opinion, the hotel was built in 2005/2006. Everything is in perfect condition. The clientele during our short stay was mainly male, with the guests primarily from the trade, craft and business sectors. We were at the Arcusklinik in Pforzheim for a preliminary examination. The hotel has a special rate for patients at this clinic. We paid €95.50 for our double room on the 4th floor, including breakfast and parking; you can't complain about that. WiFi was included. There is a bus stop very close by. The bus goes from here directly to the main station or the city center (distance about 4.0 km). Stuttgart Airport is about 50 km away; it is about 30 km to Karlsruhe. The first telephone contact when making the reservation was very positive. The subsequent greeting in the hotel itself was also OK; unfortunately, there was a mistake with our booking. Our reservation was for a day later. Contrary to all custom, I foolishly did not receive a reservation confirmation by email. The error would have been noticed early on. But the nice gentleman at the reception (Mr. Rödel?) tried to correct this mishap, which he succeeded in doing. All other questions were answered exhaustively, so that nothing stood in the way of a pleasant stay. All in all, we were very satisfied. The rest of the staff (breakfast room) were also very friendly and helpful. As a guest, you feel comfortable. One negative point must be noted, however. The rooms are no longer obligatory to be cleaned daily. This is only possible on express request. A corresponding written notice is available; however, it would be desirable if you were informed of this verbally when checking in. The argument for this change in cleaning is environmental protection / CO2 footprint. But I couldn't shake the thought that this was primarily to save on staff. The hotel itself does not have its own restaurant. However, you can eat very well in the Pizzeria Allegro, which is right next to the hotel. The hotel's breakfast room is on the 6th floor. The breakfast was very good and contained everything you would expect from a hotel of this category (coffee, tea, juices, sausage, cheese, jam, eggs, sausages, various types of bread and rolls, etc.). Care was taken to replenish the food on time and to clear the tables promptly. In any case, we were very satisfied. Our double room (with air conditioning) was about 22 square meters and had a separate desk, satellite TV and a small refrigerator that can also be used as a minibar. There is no room safe.

Loved this hotel but there were a couple things that would have made our stay perfect. ● First, the room: spacious. The view is amazing. We got a deluxe room with a balcony that overlooked the forest and gardens. We spent a lot of time enjoying the balcony and this lovely view. What would have made it even better was a sunshade—it was quite bright in the blazing afternoon—we had the corner room so there was nothing to block the sun. Wonderful bathroom—toilet and tub/shower were separate. Beds were comfortable but I wish that the two halves of the bed had been connected together with at least a mattress topper. I wound up falling in the crevasse between the two beds by the third morning. We were surprised that there was no coffee maker—since we wake up much earlier than the breakfast, a coffee maker would have really made our stay more enjoyable. ● The restaurant food was amazing. The breakfast was an excellent spread and included a person ready to cook an omelet to order. Only a few of the staff spoke English, thankfully two of them were the bartenders! We ate at the bar’s outdoor seating for dinner a couple nights which was a much more relaxed atmosphere than the dinner restaurant. Not as wide of a menu variety at the bar but enough to give us options for two nights. We needed replacement towels for the pool and sauna but was not able to get any for our 2nd and 3rd day—we didn’t want to continue to use our sauna towels after having sweated on them. A hotel that specializes in its pool and sauna facilities should have plenty of towels for the overnight guests. ● The grounds are so beautifully maintained, a lovely mix of nature and man-made gardens. There are hiking and biking paths into the forest right from the hotel. The pools and saunas are excellent with jets in some spots and not others. And well maintained. My only complaint with the pools is that babies and small children were using the hot tub. This should be adults only for hygiene. ● Altogether a wonderful experience and we highly recommend it for travelers looking to relax in beautiful surroundings.

The hotel is very comfortable and comfortable. I took a single room that was very good: chill decoration, large, comfortable and with a lot of details: I had a paperboard that opened when approaching the hand, a mirror of the bathroom with bluetooth, dryer, etc.... also was quite silent. The hotel has a small garden area and views of nature. In my case, I took a room with buffet breakfast.... quite complete and with a little of everything. It is a very good option at a right price compared to other nearby options.

Quite simply furnished room, ultimately everything you need. Unfortunately it's just a tiny TV, which is no longer up to date. I also looked in vain for the bottle of mineral water promised by HRS. Staff (late check-in) very helpful, that worked great. Breakfast, well, that was quite spartan, but considering the price of the room, it was probably still okay. All in all okay for one night, I couldn't imagine staying longer.

Booked twin room, the room is not big, but enough, we have 2 people, 5 large suitcases of 23KG. Reasonably placed, it will not be very crowded. Renovation: simple, clean, dry and wet separation in the bathroom. Breakfast: Bread, sliced meat, fruit, juice, tastes good. The hotel is in the town center, the bus stop is downstairs, but the town is still convenient for self-driving, there is a parking lot, it looks like 6 euros a night, or free, forget it. Because it is a business trip, come and go, there is no time to go shopping, the hotel (small town) is quiet and beautiful, and then have the opportunity to come here, you must feel it.

They have been here occasionally in recent years. Under new name has not changed so much. The reservation works perfectly as always. If no major events are taking place in the area, cheap prices and offers are available. The car route to the deep garage is good, but then you need to find the right outlet in the huge deep garage of the shopping centre. The hotel is not central in Stuttgart, but in the foretown, the connection with the S-Bahn (5-10 min walking distance) is also good in the evening. Reception and check-in quickly, polite, uncomplicated. Rooms and bathrooms are clean, and functional, but no luxury. Some rooms on the main street can be quite loud at open windows. On the other hand, you can sleep very quiet. In summer it can also warm in the rooms depending on location and sunlight. The breakfast buffet was always very good, at the moment the choice is significantly restricted by the health situation, but the quality is still acceptable. Whoever is aware of the situation, for whom stay here is worth its price.
