Reviews for Boardinghouse La Grotta
Review 1：Great location. The hostess was very flexible and accomadating, willing to repark our car for us. The family room was quite large, very clean, and had nice fachwerk walls. The mattresses were a bit hard, but they felt very new.
Review 2：very unpleasant welcome rooms were ready but we were told to wait until 14 o'clock. and our bycicles should stay in the back. cellar would be opended not before 14 o'clock as well. and we better should wait outside! We never had such a bad experience. after mentioning we will give bad feedback, the cook opened the cellar. afterward talks were on minimum.
Review 3：Town and close to centre
Review 4：Landlady was very grumpy. if i had a choice which i do i would choose somewhere else in their lovely town. I'm only the customer afterall !
Review 5：Lovely place, very close to the centre. Courtyard was well presented and the landlord was very hospitable..... but
Review 6：Friendly reception and comfortable rooms - especially the family room. Parking facilities for car and bikes available and walking access to the beautiful town.
Review 7：We booked a room with breakfast included which was confirmed to us. When we arrived there the staff was unfriendly and told us there would be no breakfast in the morning. Would have been nice to get this information after booking instead of an extra email confirming the breakfast.
Review 8：Very clean place, very large and comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast. Close to pedestrian zone of the city: great location to visit city centre by foot and go to restaurants.
Review 9：Speyer is beautiful and La Grotta's great hospitality, clean and spacious facilities, quality restaurant and location, made our Speyer visit an even more beautiful experience. Thank you La Grotta!!!
Review 10：the room was a class lower compared to the pictures - it was clean and all, but it lacked the charm visible on the photos. That would be generally ok if not all the other offers available in the area for a comparable price.
Review 11：perfect location, cheap parking available, nice building and garden
Review 12：Frühstück zu teuer. Im schönen Bad mit Wanne kann man leider nicht ausgiebig planschen, weil es für mehrere Zimmer Toilette und Bad ist.
Review 13：Lage ist kaum besser zu bekommen. Freundlicher Service, Preis/Leistung stimmt. Super komfortables Bad mit Wanne (shared)
Review 14：I really have nothing to complain about
Review 15：Location near to city center; the two connected rooms for our family; cleanliness and the charm of the historic house. Good Italian food available, tools for kids during dinner.
Review 16：We had two interconnecting rooms, ideal for the family, and a shared hall and bathroom. The hotel is close to the centre of town allowing easy access to the main high street (historic tower and famous cathedral with the tombs of Roman Emperors), but on a side street so not noisy at night. We were there during a festival which was terrific. Lots of outdoor food and drink. The hotel has an intimate back yard/outside seating area, and breakfast excellent.
Review 17：Very bad noise isolation of the rooms - you can hear people having conversations in their rooms, walking, opening doors to other rooms and using toilets. Spartan furnishing of the rooms. Shared toilets and no even washbasin in the room. Breakfast is not worth its price. No free parking available. If you add cost of breakfast and parking the overall price is not attractive any more.
Review 18：Central location Very helpful personnel
Review 19：The rooms are really simple, nice and cleaned. Since we have two kids the owners gave us two communicating rooms and since it was quite late they kindly offer to cook for us though the restaurant was closed. I warmly suggest this lovely place!
Review 20：Rooms are very basic with not even a sink. Shared shower rooms were basic.
Review 21：The staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very good continental style and plentiful. Nice little courtyard area to sit outside.
Review 22：Nobody speaks English. Parking is problem (we had to park on paid public parking place located five minutes walk from the hotel). Really uncomfortable beds. No air-conditioning. Pure breakfast with one table for all guests. Earlier breakfast is not possible.
Review 23：Friendly staff including family dog Nero. Great food and service at onsite restaurant.
Review 24：Shared bath and shower were not enough for the number of guests
Review 25：Location

Review 40：No wifi.
Review 41：Location was great, within 2 minutes walk to the main street. The room was really clean too.
Review 42：No Internet connection at all! Whether cable nor WiFi! I would like more bathrooms. But for the price the shared bathroom is ok.
Review 43：Very good value for money
Review 44：The only "problem" is that there is no wi-fi.
Review 45：Great location and good price. The staff were very friendly and the room is perfect for those who travel light.
Review 46：It would be nice to have at least a small wash basin at the room, or a (shared) separate wc and bathroom.
Review 47：Nice old house in the very centre of Speyer. Good value for money.
Review 48：The staff barely speaks English. Electric kettle per room or a couple of rooms would have been nice.
Review 49：The room was clean and neat and so was the bathroom (there are 3 or more of them). TV is available. Though it is rather cheap, they provide towels and hair dryer (I didn't expect them). Very close to the main street and the train station.
Review 50：No German wines in the restaurant, despite being in a wine producing region
Review 51：Clean and modern modestly sized room with shared bathroom. The hotel is very central and the price is excellent value for money.
Review 52：Beds and duvets were not very comfortable. Bed-making was perfunctory.
Review 53：We found the staff very helpful. The bathroom facilities, although shared, were excellent. The location left us close to the centre of Speyer. It was great to have parking at the hotel. The owner was very helpful with giving us access to internet for next destination.
Review 54：Cigarette smell - didn't bother me, but I know some people might get annoyed by it. It is non-smoking, though.
Review 55：Even though reception closes at 10pm, they waited for me until I finally showed up at 1am (!). Given this is a family-run business, that was very nice of them. The staff were excellent, the room very clean and quiet. I had to share a (massive, very clean, modern) bathroom with the people on my corridor, but you barely noticed that. I can definitely recommend this place.
Review 56：It was difficult to find as the directions given were not clear and road-works compounded the issue. Hotel menu seemed a bit expensive so wedined out.
Review 57：Very spacious bathroom, which was shared by our two rooms. Extremelyclean bed-rooms. Walking distance from Speyer cathedral and shoppingstreets. Parking on hotel site.
Review 58：The bathroom was not en suite. Having said that it was huge with showerand bath and as far as I could tell we had exclusive use of it.
Review 59：Spacious, very comfortable and quiet. It felt like we had the wholeplace to ourselves. Only 5 minutes walk from the centre of town.
Review 60：Strange room placement of bed, no water in room, but share bathroom OK, if gigantic and might be a problem with many people wanting to use it.
Review 61：Central location. Huge bathroom
Review 62：Excellent plave to stay with familly. The restaurant is really worth totaste the different specialities. The hotel is in the center of thetown, easy access to all activities. Don't miss the TechnicalMuseum of Speyer
