Gronauer Tannenhof

I was really impressed by this property and the city it's in, Bergish Gladbach. First, the hotel is owned and managed by the son of the original owner. It is a well cared for establishment, which sits on the west side of Bergish Gladbach on the edge of a forest that surrounds the city. This area of Germany is so impressive for care they take of their public parks. It really is a beautiful location. My room was clean and nice with the latest of comforts. I was specially impressed by the in-room refreshments in the refrigerator. It was stocked with beverages of all kinds - alcoholic and non alcoholic. All were reasonably priced. Their restaurant seemed like a very good place to eat. While I didn't get to have dinner there, the breakfast fare is excellent. I got to meet and talk with the owner manager and his wife, both of whom I thought were very nice. If you stay here, you must take the 25 minute walk into Bergish Gladbach and experience the local restaurants and culture. Though I don't speak German, the restaurant staff was very friendly and accommodating. Should I find myself in Cologne again, I will definitely try to book a room here again.

Great welcome, easy and safe parking. Lovely room and a great breakfast included. Very near to towns either way out of the hotel and great for biking too. On the advice of reception, we got to the S Bahn in 5 minutes in our bikes and then got a train to Cologne which is 20 minutes away. Lovely meal there then came back. The trains run til very late. An excellent visit.

No facilities in the room to make a hot drink - when we asked for a kettle the staff said they didn't have any! Eventually managed to get one but it was a struggle

Pleasant stay in a clean and friendly authentic German gasthaus with a forest motif. Good shower, good breakfast and a Biergarten. Location nothing special but free parking included. No air conditioning and we slept with open windows. Free wifi.
