Kramerwirt

WWW | Wendelsteinstr. 1, 83737 Irschenberg (Germany)

Location
The guesthouse has a perfect location: It's only 500 m away from the highway directing to Irschenberg (Munich - Salzburg). It's quiet, idyllic and you rarely see car. Unfortunately we don't know how and where the shopping streets are since we only spend one night there.

Hotel
Right next to it there is a butcher shop that supplies the hotel with good and tasty meat. Internet is not a problem either. You just need to log on to a special hotel generated site and you can start. The staff is friendly and helpful - we directly felt like home. Plus everything is clean which is a high advantage.

Rooms


There are some rooms in the main building and a few in a cute house behind it. We were lucky enough to sleep in the "Guesthouse" and were able to appreciate the perfect idyll. You just had to open the window and you directly felt like you were in a different world. We had a shower, internet connection, a TV and our own desk. That's all you need if you only spend a night there like we did. HERE are some pictures from our room view :)

Food

Like already mentioned they have a butcher shop right next to them and you can definitely see that on the menu. A lot of pork (grilled, with gravy, without gravy, with noodles etc) but you can also get a "Schlachtplatte" or "Spätzle". We can highly recommend the mixed grill. Everything was tasty and the desert (Apple strudle) was amazing too!

Conclusion
We highly recommend this! If you have a long journey ahead and want a nice place to rest and spend an amazing time, Kramerwirt is the right thing to chose.

Irschenberg



Just some pictures I took last year at Irschenberg, Germany. This was the view from our room. It's so peaceful and gorgeous. And the food was amazing too ;)

Hotel Maddalena ***

WWW | viale Dante 307 ; 47838 Riccione (Rimini)

Location
The Hotel is not directly situated on the beach. You have to cross to streets until you're there. But that means you'll be quiet at night and won't be woken up by cars, vespas or the like. They way to the shopping alley is practical right in from of you: 100 meters to your left and you can start eat and shop.

Hotel
It's appointed with a pool, a bar, a play area for kids, a restaurant and of course a lounge where you can end the days with a nice expresso or a refreshing cocktail. The only thing that's actually irritating is that you can only use the internet in that said lounge. If you want to write an important mail in your room it's unfortunately not feasible.

Rooms
The rooms are equipped with a bathroom, TV and a balcony. You can brings your kids as well and if they're still young you can get a playpen for them. This year we were unfortunate and our shower was smelling really bad as we entered the room for the first time (like waste pipe and feces - could have been from the neighbor room). But after the cleaning lady paid us a visit it was gone - thank God! But also our TV was not doing great over the two weeks we stayed there: some channels we're only there for 10 mins until the sound was gone. We had to turn it off and on quite a few times.

Food / Restaurant

The restaurant looks beautiful, is big and bright. You'll get a sheet of paper where you tick off what you'd like to eat. You can choose between 3 daily menus: meat, fish and vegetarian. The food didn't please us unfortunately. The last week we stayed there, the hotel apparently planned to only serve us veal. They didn't even ask you - when it came to meat - if you'd like it rare, medium or well done. Plus there have been some weird combinations that didn't even made sense.

Pool

Right next to the Hotel there is a huge pool area with sun loungers. We never visited the pool because we thought the sea was so close to us so why not using that instead of a pool? Plus there were quite a few family with little kids and we personally don't really like the noise.

Play area

There is a tiny play area where kids can do what the like most: paint, play or watch their favorite cartoons! 

Conclusion:
It is a nice hotel where you can definitely relax. Given the fact you don't spend a lot of time there (eat, sleep and showering) we can highly recommend it :)
