My stay in Bad Urach was nothing short of enchanting. Nestled in the gentle hills of the Swabian Alb, this hotel offers spectacular panoramic views that immediately create a sense of peace and connection with nature. Waking each morning to misty mountains, lush greenery, and the quiet charm of the surrounding landscape was truly unforgettable.
One of the highlights of the stay was the exceptional dining experience. Each meal was thoughtfully prepared and beautifully presented, showcasing regional flavors with a refined touch. From the comforting warmth of traditional Swabian dishes to the delightful desserts, every bite reflected quality and care. The refreshing Alb-Schorle and elegant candlelit ambiance added to the overall sense of relaxation and indulgence.
The location is ideal for both relaxation and exploration. Situated conveniently near the AlbThermen and within easy reach of scenic hiking trails and the charming town center, the hotel serves as a perfect base for discovering the natural beauty and cultural richness of Bad Urach. Whether enjoying a peaceful walk among blooming tulips, venturing to nearby waterfalls, or simply unwinding in the thermal baths, everything is accessible and inviting.
What makes this hotel particularly special is its versatility. It is perfect for solo travelers seeking tranquility and reflection, couples looking for a romantic getaway, and families eager to explore the outdoors while enjoying comfortable accommodations.
Nice hotel, a little old, however refurbished and rooms fully up to date. Hotel is in very nice area and you get 5 hours in the swimming pool with your room. Good breakfast - allthough scrambled eggs are standing from opening to closing - 4 hours. Restaurant could improve - food was ok, but ordered an Entrecote and got a flat ribeye - changed sides from french fries to patato salad, which according to the waiter was ok - but then - later with the bill a charge of 2 Eur for changing. I think this action explains the service level, we are at.

Het hotel komt wat verouderd over, de kamer was wel modern (met kleine badkamer) en helaas geen airco. We hebben de geboekte 3 nachten echt niet goed geslapen door de warmte en het bed. Ontbijt uitstekend. Wat ons verbaasde van een 4 sterren hotel is dat er alleen om de 3 dagen iemand op je kamer komt om o.a. handdoeken te verwisselen! Er liggen handdoeken voor max 2 dagen.... Dus bij de receptie handdoeken gevraagd en deze worden dan zonder woorden aan je gegeven.

Ausgezeichnetes Frühstück, das Hotel ist etwas in die Jahre gekommen, die Zimmer sind dennoch sehr gut eingerichtet und gemütlich.
Zimmer soweit Ok,.. leider wurde kurz nach acht Uhr die Bäume und Hecken direkt am Hotel verschnitten was mich aus dem Schlaf gerissen hat. Das Essen im Restaurant ist gut, aber für die veranschlagten Preise viel zu wenig auf dem Teller. Personal im Hotel und Restaurant waren sehr nett und zuvorkommend.
Sehr gutes Preis-Leistungsverhältnis, ruhiges Zimmer, hervorragendes Frühstück, Cafe und Restaurant durchgehend geöffnet, sehr zuvorkommende Mitarbeiter. Direkt an der Alb-Therme. Insgesamt sehr zu empfehlen.
Personal und Zimmer gewohnt top!
Überraschend für uns als Stammkunden war diesmal das Fehlen der Albcard. Positiv: die kulante Regelung. Albcard und Thermetasche gehören für Expedia-Bucher der Vergangenheit an - es gibt seit diesem Jahr Bucher erster und zweiter Klasse.
Auch eher unglücklich: der Kurpark ist aktuell Großbaustelle.
Schöne Idee: der Winterpavillon

Frühstück sehr vielfältig und frisch. Service sehr freundlich. Zimmer etwas in die Jahre gekommen.
Vi havde kun en nat på hotellet. Det er et ældre hotel, som set udefra trænger til en opdatering. De er begyndt på denne opdatering på værelserne, og vi var heldig at få værelser der var renoveret - de var dog endnu ikke kommet til badeværelserne.

Das Personal war ausnahmslos sehr freundlich und zuvorkommend. Ich habe leider ein renovierungsbedürftiges Zimmer mit einem Minibad bekommen. Mein Kopfkissen war gefühlt eine Hülle mit Schaumstoffflocken. Der VIP-access bestand aus einem Essensgutschein von 15€, den man nicht spontan einlösen kann. Nur mit Tischreservierung. Ich durfte aber eine Suppe mit aufs Zimmer nehmen. Andere Essensmöglichkeiten gibt es in der Umgebung nicht. Das Preis- Leistungsangebot stimmte für mich nicht.

Gutes Restaurant, schwer zu finden wegen Bauarbeiten, ansonsten ruhige Umgebung.
Einzelbetten waren zusammengestellt
Hotel etwas schwer zu erreichen, da keine Ausschilderung wegen Baustelle auf Strasse. Hotel ist aus den 80ern, aber die Zimmer sind Top und Modern eingerichtet. Das Genäude ist ein ehemaliges Appartmenthaus, so das dort auch andere Institutionen vorhanden sind, z.B. VHS. So wurde man von den VHS-Besuchern schon um 7.30 Uhr geweckt, da sie sich vor der Tür laut unterhalten und gelacht haben, obwohl Zimmer auf den ruhigen Park gerichtet war.
