"Everything was as expected. Bar staff was really nice and attentive, they handle english in all parts of the building, so not speaking german is not a problem, the parking was full but for 3€ you can park 24hs literally in front... which seems a bit "off" for 3€ but is more than okay. Super silent, super clean, really well located, the quality of the food and breakfast is amazing, the only downside of breakfast is the price, seems a bit too excesive, but still, with 3-4hs of slow eating is more than worth it."

"Great location in the middle of Thale. Nice and clean rooms, delicious food, and they even have an escape room."

"Location: Top Rooms: Very nice and clean outdoor area: Dreamfully nice and very cared staff: Very friendly breakfast: Excellent Wellness: Very good (if I book a wellness package, usually also includes a bath coat, This I've missed here, but there should always be free drinking water available) Parking: free directly at the hotel We are very happy to come back!!!"

"At this restaurant name you have to eat fish. We had forelle and zander, both were very good. Thanks to the weather we could eat still in the courtyard, but also the rooms inside are very pleasant. If we're back in Thale, we'll be back over."

"A beautifully designed outdoor area and garden, a small pool, fitness equipment, and a mini-sauna are also available. The staff is very friendly, and the breakfast is superb. Dinner is also excellent, and in summer you can enjoy dining on the terraces overlooking the beautiful garden."

"A visit to Hotel Villa Alice is like visiting family, but without the boring moments. Here you are welcomed as a family member or good friend of the family and are accommodated in a room that is reminiscent of the room you lived in at your grandmother's - cozy and nice and with all the necessities you need. The bed is a little too soft but you sleep well in them. The staff takes great care of you as a guest, from check-in to check-out and helps and assists you with everything you might need. The restaurant serves really good food at very affordable prices. The breakfast buffet is sumptuous and kept fresh all the time and there is always plenty of coffee. Thanks to the lady at breakfast (I didn't get her name) for super service. The hotel is very close to the mountain railway to Hexentanzplatz Thale, so it is easy to walk there. Thale is a small town where not much happens but is a good starting point for visits to eg Quedlingburg, but Villa Alice is definitely worth a visit and a good place to stay, so can only recommend the hotel."

"We as a group, with 18 people, spent 2 nights in this house in a quiet and beautiful location, in the middle of the forest. Beautiful, bright rooms. Very ordened and clean. delicious regional kitchen and great view from the beer garden behind the house. The rooms are OK, clean, very good beds. Foot everything is well reachable and a walk to the Bodetal a great experience. To highlight is the very friendly staff that make a great job! We are very happy to come back."

"In short: We spent an entire night in temperatures just above freezing with our 19-month-old daughter. It was freezing cold and drafty because otherwise the stench would have been unbearable. Driving home in heavy snowfall was out of the question for us at that hour. And what shouldn't be forgotten is that this wasn't exactly cheap accommodation. At over €400 for two nights, or €550 with breakfast, you can expect a clean room and, even more importantly, own up to mistakes and face the consequences, namely refunding money that was wrongly withheld because the service wasn't provided. To be more detailed: I primarily want to distance myself from negative reviews simply because people are surprised that an outdoor pool isn't open in winter. I definitely don't fall into that category. However, what my family and I experienced at the Hotelpark Bodetal in early January 2026 is hard to stomach. In forty years of traveling, I've never experienced anything like it. But let's jump back in time together. It was a relatively spontaneous trip for my wife's birthday with our 19-month-old daughter. Having found and booked through ***********, we set off full of anticipation for Thale and the Hotelpark Bodetal on a snowy, cold January day. Everything seemed relaxed at the hotel. We checked into our room in House 8, ground floor, in the afternoon and immediately experienced a nasty surprise. Upon entering the room, we were hit with a musty, cheesy smell. "Well," I thought, "it's cold." Visually, the room looked quite dated, but okay, perhaps the cleaning product had lingered. So, we aired it out thoroughly. Nevertheless, I informed the rather overweight man at reception that the room smelled bad. He evaded the issue by saying that no cleaning staff were currently available, but assured us that the room would be cleaned again the following day. For the time being, I left it at that. Despite repeated offers to experience the smell in the room himself, the gentleman refused to leave the reception desk. Presumably, his work motivation is linked to his interest in physical activity. Since our little one loves water, we promptly went to the Bodetal thermal baths. Upon our return, and despite leaving the windows slightly open for cross-ventilation in the freezing cold, we were greeted upon entering the apartment by our roommate again: the putrid, cheesy stench. I put my nose to work and, with some effort and a bit of patience, managed to locate the suspected culprit in the kitchen. It was lodged in the kitchen sink drain and the overflow of the cutlery tray, as you can see in the attached photos. As is clearly visible in the photos, the culprit in the cutlery tray drain, in particular, had been there for weeks, if not months."
