My wife and I are Americans and speak only English but know a few minimal phrases. The employees at this hotel were very friendly and understanding of this and spoke the English they knew. If we needed more detailed communication, someone was available to help. They also respected the minimal German we knew and attempted.
The sights in the area were beautiful and welcoming and we were able to take a few day trips to Switzerland, Austria, and a four hour trip to the East side of Germany, my wife’s Grandparents’ home town.
Our only complaint is the front desk is closed between 23:00 and 07:00. We could have been late to our plane while trying to pay our bill but an employee got someone else on the phone and we were able to pay and get out with 30 minutes to spare at the gate.
Friendly staff, Peaceful Area, and delicious food. Keep track of the schedules and don’t try to eat too much. The food is much more filling than what we’re used to in America.
