“So good, we went back again!”

Per my previous post, the Maritime Braunlage was once again a brilliant place to stay. Just like last year, we have stayed in about ten hotels over three weeks - and the Maritime once again tops the charts for breakfast!

“Very Impressed”

We were very pleased in choosing this hotel to stay for a few days. It is a very nice quiet hotel, with plenty to do, the food was lovely and staff very helpful. It is situated up a steep hill which is a bit of a climb, but is well located and close to the ski lift and centre of town. With a selection of spa treatments it is the prefect place to relax for a few days.

“Super value, super location, super service”

We used this hotel as a base for touring the Harz Mountains. Expecting it to be dead, out of ski season, it was anything but. Service was exemplary in all areas and there was a lovely ambience. Even though the decor is authentic 70s, it is immaculately maintained and everything works. We LOVED the orange and brown bathroom tiles and the traditional German restaurant. Breakfast was great value for money and very substantial. We certainly recommend it to others.

“JP/AME”

A good find....thank goodness it was OFF SEASON!!!

“Does what it needs to”

Went to the Maritim Braunlage for a weekend of skiing in the Harz Mountains. I've stayed in quite a few Maritim hotels, and this certainly isn't up there with the best, but it definitely wasn't the most expensive either. The decor is pretty "retro" in the rooms, i.e. it's not been updated since the 70's (think of alovely brown bathroom...); however, pretty much all of Germany is 20 years behind the rest of the world anyway. The staff were friendly, but beware that this isn't UK-focused tourism Germany, so if you're expecting fluent English from everyone, you'll be sadly disappointed. The breakfast was very good, but a touch pricey. Likewise for dinner in the restaurant. It looked to be the best hotel in Braunlage though and stands above the rest of the town, somewhat dominating the skyline. I'd happily go back, but people shouldn't be expecting unbridled luxury.
