Hotel Ostfriesen Hof

We picked this hotel pretty randomly, but we were very pleasantly surprised by the quality, cleanliness and most of afll: the friendly staff. They went above and beyond in helping us with questions and also offered us an upgrade because another guest cancelled. The restaurant is quite nice and fairly priced. Unfortunately the pool was closed for maintenance but it looks nice when it's open.

If you are looking for a quiet, calming stay in a charming Gasthaus, this is the place. The rooms are nicely furnished and the atmosphere is pleasant. They aren't kidding about the sheep! The staff was very attentive and friendly, perhaps the best service I've had in Germany. The food was also nice and they accommodate many different dietary requirements. Did I mention that the sheep are grazing on a lovely walking/bike path behind the hotel?

I have never been treated so rudely by staff ever in my life. We arrived at the hotel and wabted to get some food at the restaurant. The waitor was almost angry with us, that we didn't make a reservation. He nonetheless gave us a table. The service was terrible, a lot of orders didn't come in and he was simply rude the entire evening.
