Reviews for Hotel Altes Eishaus
Review 1：Unfortunately, the sound insulation is pretty poor. I could hear people talking at normal volumes in the neighbouring room and those across the hall. This is a big deal for me as I am a sensitive sleeper. To give credit to the staff, when I complained about it they went to those rooms and requested that the people living there kept it down. Nevertheless, it was an inconvenience.
Review 2：The location works well for me. There are walking paths around there as well as shopping and restaurants within fairly short driving distance. The fact that the hotel is on a river is very nice. The staff is nice and receptive. There's a restaurant downstairs where one can enjoy a traditional German meal as well as other types of food.
Review 3：WIFI was slow, not only in the apartment, also in the restaurant. The workplace in the apartment was a little bit small; only suitable for one person.
Review 4：The restaurant has an nice authentic character, with some tables en terrace having a nice view on the river Lahn. The restaurant has their own specialities like pancakes with toppings I haven't heart of before. F.i. pancakes with grilled salmon and spinach. We had our room in an new building. The room and especially bathroom are large. The staff permitted us to stay working in the restaurant after the check-out, because our meeting was in the afternoon.
Review 5：There we no negatives
Review 6：The hotel is situated directly by the river, we were able to sit out in the beer garden and have dinner, waving at the people out on their boats. We saw an otter, a kingfischer and a huge terrapin in the water. The breakfast was excellent, and so was our dinner. All the staff were friendly and very helpful. There was ample parking, our rooms were big, as were the bathrooms. Amazing value and comfort for a two-star hotel. A real find.
Review 7：The pillows are very squishy so we had to bunch them up or fold them in half to sleep comfortably and not wake up with a sore neck.
Review 8：Originally, we had planned to spend 2 nights here and then leave for Frankfurt, but we liked the town and the hotel so much that we stayed 2 more nights. Fantastic food and loved relaxing out on the patio by the river, watching the ducks and swans swimming and people rowing by (there's a boating school just down the street). The staff were all very friendly and helpful, everything was very clean, and the beds were quite comfortable. You can walk to downtown in about 20 minutes, or catch a city bus that stops just down the street from the hotel.
Review 9：Breakfast food was okay but the dinner food was just so so. It would help if they had a menu in English
