제호텔 마리아 라흐(Seehotel Maria Laach)

Top hotel with brilliant view to the lake. All rooms refurbished in 2021, excellent kitchen, and 50 meters away to the castle built in 1093…so 1000 years old! And 200 meters away from the old Vulcan lake Maria Laach Dinner in the in house restaurant was just gorgeous. I had the duck with brussel sprouts!

Superb hotel, view at the lake, nice and quit area. In the middle of nature. We stayed for 3 nights. Minibar (softdrinks and beer) is free, but was not refilled. Breakfast was perfect, Many different types of bread, cheese platter, charcuterie platter, smoked salmon, yogurt, muesli, eggs, fruit, fruit juices, cava .... Safe parking

An excellent location with their own access to the Laache Maare. Foods and drinks are exceptionally good but pricy. many interesting geological and historical sites in the area but accessable by car. No good bicycle trails, but on the Mosel (45 minutes away) there are excellent paths for relaxed trips.

I spent two nights here on this non-business visit in this 4-star comfort hotel, in early June just after Covid restrictions loosened ( staff still wore masks and guests were encouraged to as well, few did). This was my third visit here, and my first after the major remodeling that was finished last year. I booked a top floor "mini-suite" (311), ( because that was all that was available for my datesm chosen five weeks before) with two sections: an extremely comfortable large bed for two with a small closet, bible, and TV in one section (no split in the middle of the bed as most German beds have), and another section was a mini-sitting area with two chairs, small table, and a desk, and another wall TV ( with limited stations, even in German). There was also an espresso machine, and a tiny fridge with some drinks. The windowless bathroom had a large tub and a separate shower. Bathroom amenities included not just shampoo but also conditioner, body lotion, kleenex, a hair dryer, wash cloths and soap (all except shampoo are hard to find in hotels in the area, most of which are 3 or less stars, as is a room with fridge). Everything was very clean, and the hotel has an elevator (rare in this area), quite welcome at my age and with my heavy baggage. Internet worked. The hotel is located near the ancient Maria Laach abby and across the local road from the pretty vulcanic Laach lake, which offers easy walks around it. The area is also convenient for excursions to other vulcanic sights of interests, walking paths, and historic structures, and is a half hour from the raceway Nurburgring. There is an upscale restaurant offering a limited menu of international food at dinner, for both indoors and outdoors dining, with very good service and a decent wine list (regional and otherwise) , and a pleasant cafe in a separate building offering snacks, ice cream, and cake is nearby, also with indoor and outdoor options. The complex also includes a sculpture garden, nursery, and a shop. It is not directly on the lake, but across a small road, easy walk. Negatives are: 1. Despite the recent remodel, there was still no air conditioning in my room. I guess it is just not a priority. So, during the day, my top floor 'upscale' room, with the sun beating on it, and also facing the sun, was stuffy and sweltering inside ( measured by me at 78) it was only 72 F outside and humid (it would be much worse if it were any warmer). It did cool off at night with open windows, but with no window screens, flys, mosquitoes, and 1 wasp considered themselves welcome. With windows and blinds shut, an odd sewer smell emerged. 2. My room, with its steaming heat, slanted walls and just 1 small high window in each room, was as noted overall unwelcoming during the day. But I also managed to bump my head on the walls three times in one day: once on the low ceiling when getting out of the tub (BTW the otherwise very nice tub does not have a grab bar, or ribbing, so is slipp

Très bel hôtel proche du lac, à deux pas de l’abbaye. Très belle terrasse extérieure. Chambres conformes au standing de l’établissement. Le petit-déjeuner est classique. La formule « barbecue » proposée au groupe n’était pas terrible, à éviter. Excellent service global excepté au bar où les serveurs sont d’une humeur exécrable, à la limite de l’impolitesse.

4*S ist eine Ansage, die aber auch zu 150% erfüllt wird: tolles Zimmer, großartiges Frühstück, die Lage am Kloster ein weiteres +. Die Mitarbeiter sehr aufmerksam und freundlich. Wir haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt und kommen bei Gelegenheit gerne wieder.

Ich war eine Nacht im Zuge einer Dienstreise im Seehotel. Das Hotel dürfte kürzlich renoviert worden sein und ist sehr modern eingerichtet. Es fehlt einem an nichts und sogar die Minibar ist im Preis inbegriffen. Auch das Frühstück ist ausgezeichnet. Ich kann es uneingeschränkt weiter empfehlen.

Rechnet man dem Seehotel das Restaurant zu, dann werden die Erwartungen weit untertroffen. Die Seefellchen waren totgegart, der Reis zerkocht und die Gemüsebeilage lieblos gewürzt. Das Salatdressing verdiente seinen Namen nicht. Der Service war bemüht aber unaufmerksam. Es wurde zwar eine Speisekarte vorgelegt, aber nicht auf Speisen, die nicht mehr im Angebot waren, hingewiesen. Leere Gläser blieben leer. Insgesamt enttäuschend.
