Das Spritzenhaus

What a wonderful hotel. It was recommended by a local friend in Eltville for a long weekend. I was given the penthouse and it is just beautiful. It’s a huge room with the most amazing furniture and bathroom. It has the biggest sofa I’ve ever seen. Lots of different lighting to choose from and a long thin balcony with chairs and a table overlooking the square. There is a large wardrobe area which contained seat covers for the outside chairs as well as a couple of pairs of sunglasses and extra bedding etc. Lots of small attention to details. There is a small fridge in the room as well as a coffee machine. The bed is huge and very comfortable. There is a welcome brochure, I think, on the desk, it is only in German so if you cannot speak/read German, as I can’t, then you will have no idea what it says. Luckily the owners spoke great English, I did try my years old German but I failed miserably. The breakfast area on the ground floor is as lovely as the penthouse. I love the individually patterned chairs. The food is delicious. You are given some cheese which the owners produce themselves from their cows on the hills and locally produced meats. You can choose different styles of eggs. The eggs with herbs, cheese and tomatoes is definitely recommended and now a favourite of mine. The owners are very friendly and helpful. I was due to take a train to Frankfurt airport but they were all cancelled on the day. The owner phoned a few taxi firms and found someone he knew, Sammy, who was reasonable and also very friendly. They made that much easier for me. I recommend staying at this hotel and I’ll be back next year. Thank you for a lovely and comfortable stay.
