it was very poor, the thermostat to control the room temperature was out on the landing and it controlled 3 different rooms, I found our room hot so I turned the thermostat down before we went out for the evening, came back to find the room still hot, someone had moved the thermostat back up, presumable someone from one of the other rooms?? We then turned on the ceiling fan which must have been 50 years old, a big cast iron type fan, well the noise was unbearable, it was like a jumbo jet taking off. Next we were in their bar, I had been drinking the same drink all evening and paying as I go till the second to last drink as the waitress dropped our drinks off then disappeared without giving us the bill so I could pay, by the time she decided to come back over we had finished our drinks and my wife decided to go upstairs to the room, I asked the waitress for one more drink and asked her to give me the tab for it and the last ones, well shock horror, she charged $21.00 for each Jack Daniels I was drinking and $18.00 for the tequila my wife had as her last drink, when I asked her about why it was $21.00 when she decided to run me a tab when it was only $14.00 when I was paying as I went, she informed me they put 3 Jack Daniels in my glass, I told her I never asked for 3 drinks in the one glass I was told well that's what we did, I paid it and went up to bed, we then found out there were huge trucks going up and down the road outside our room all through the night honking their ho

The Prince Solms is, once again, our favorite place for a getaway. The staff is unfailingly kind and attentive, and the piano bar downstairs is dynamite. A new treat is the Muck and Fuss restaurant next door, which boasts a remarkable menu and delicious food. I expected to dislike the addition because the old-fashioned charm is the reason we go back, but we found the change to be a positive one. And yes, the walls are thin-but that is just the way it is!

Historic hotel near the centre of New Braunfels
Very clean hotel right next to the centre of town. Parking on site and a voucher for breakfast at a diner down the street. The owners seem to be opening a burger and craft beer joint next door in a couple of weeks.

The historic feel of the place was nice. Very clean, very friendly personnel. The only issue was the shower head was really low in the shower. I made it work but a tall person would really have a problem. I would definitely stay there again and recommend the place to someone else.

Under Construction
Need curtains. The building is under construction. Didn't clean our room the 2 nights we stayed. Need to update balcony and install comfy chairs. Beds were comfortable and the rooms were clean and the AC worked great! Close to everything. Had to walk to our free $10 breakfast, which was fine. Enjoyed the walk. Look forward to staying again when construction is complete.

Unhapy
The first day was fine except for all of the construction. The only available place to park was on the street, providing no construction vehicles were taking the spaces. The hotel advertised itself as a bed and breakfast, but we were given vouchers for breakfast at a restaurant. The second day after breakfast and some shopping, we got back to the room around one p.m. and noticed that the room had not been serviced by the maid. After speaking to the manager, she then informed us that no maid service was available. We were not told this upon our arrival. After this encounter, we went back to the room and discovered a dying roach on one of the nightstands next to the bed. After dealing with the lack of parking spaces, no employees at the hotel in the evening time or night time, no breakfast area at a B & B and a total lack of communication, we decided to leave.

This hotel has been nicely update but still has that old world charm. Very clean and comfortable. The staff as so friendly and helpful. We felt like we were staying in someones home. There is no breakfast on property but they give you vouchers for a near by restaurant and it was very good. It is a great location. Close to everything. Great stay and hope to go again soon.

Nice hotel and location was good. We booked a room with 2 twin beds and received a confirmation as such, but on arrival only one queen bed. We called the manager and they have no twin beds at the hotel and he didn't know where there option cam from...it worked out okay but could have been very awkward for someone else.

Prince Solms is in the process of renovating this property and is building a restaurant next door as well as creating a cellar bar. I think it will be a great place to stay once all the upgrades are complete. We enjoyed our stay . It is conveniently located by the water park and historic district of New Braunfels.

The hotel associate was very friendly and showed us how to use the door codes and answered all questions. Manager was available via phone or text. The room was rustic and very clean. The location is unbeatable, blocks from the river and in the heart of town. Breakfast was a voucher to a walking distance cafe. Altogether a great experience.

Interior is great, exterior is a mess
The interior was beautiful! It retained all of it's 1898 glory, which I absolutely loved -- the ceiling, the chandelier in the hall, the clapboard, the baseboards, the window over the door; I even noticed the tiny details like the old door handles and door hinges. It is close to downtown with restaurants within walking distance. The room was small, but it was clean, comfortable, and cozy. However, there's a lot of construction going on at the moment so the exterior was an absolute mess! Weeds growing around the building (no landscaping), the front porch looked rough, strong smell of cat urine as you walk by the old Carriage House in the back to enter the building, trash from construction scattered everywhere. I was extremely disappointed by the outside, but loved the inside. I would stay here again after all the construction is completed. There is no breakfast on site, but they do give you a $10 voucher per person to eat at a nearby diner.

Owner owned and operated charming slice of History
This was our second time staying here. It has since been taken over by new ownership. The old Inn has been given a New lease on life. The rooms are quaint and charming. There is nothing missing from this perfect experience, in our opinion. Besides the flat screen tv and HVAC, there are no other modern amenities in the rooms. It is exactly as it should be. It is located in walking or stumbling distance from the local restaurants ,bars, and antique stores.

Centrally located hotel
An interesting looking place that I've driven by a hundred times. Finally decided to give it a try. What a wonderful experience ! It had a historical (built in 1898) feel, yet updated just enough to where it had a cool-funky-ness to it. They are still updating and construction is still going on, but they didn't work through the weekend, so it didn't impact us in any way. Dan met us at the door and became our immediate tour guide...what a treat ! Rooms were clean, beds were comfortable...everything that we need in a hotel room. If I have any complaints, it would be the T.V. You can't turn it off ! The first night, the blue screen annoyed us, but I was too lazy to get up. The next morning, I unplugged it...problem solved ! We had a wonderful stay and have every intention of coming back again...WE LOVED IT !

This was our 3rd stay!
We love the quaintness and the value for the money. The rooms are small, but very well appointed and the beds are very comfortable. The owner goes out of his way to accomdate. This is a very low-hassle, easy to access place. There is a bar in the basement that serves wine and beer and a jazz band that we really enjoyed. Nice, pub-like atmosphere and very convenient!

Lovely Old Bed and Breakfast
We enjoyed our stay very much! The hotel was beautiful and very close to the 'downtown area'. We stayed in Sophie's Suite and it was beautiful and spacious. We were excited to possibly experience some ghostly activity, but our experience was minimal. I had seen that many people had complaints about 'noise' from the bar located directly below the room.... any music we could hear didn't bother us at all and would be done by 11:00 p.m. The hotel provides complimentary ear-plugs if needed. The owner was fairly receptive, once he figured out that his original judgement of us based on age and appearance was wrong - he automatically assumed we were young, loud, obnoxious party-types that were only interested in the bar. It wasn't until the day we were to check out that he was very interactive or friendly toward us. The breakfast wait-staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was very nice and prepared fresh each morning. There are not many options if you are gluten-free, but that is generally to be expected when talking about breakfast items. Our overall experience with this hotel was great! We would definitely stay here again!

Beautiful family run inn
Rooms are full of character, not huge in size, and it wasn't the most comfortable bed I've slept on, but fantastic atmosphere. It's not got a huge staff, so don't expect people to be on your beck and call, but everyone was very friendly, everything was clean, and it had all the amenities we expected. They provided earplugs in each room, and with them we had no trouble sleeping, but it does let you know that the creaky floors, thin walls, and street noise could be negatives for some people. We absolutely loved it though, and will be going back!

Perfect Couple Getaway
We loved Prince Solms Inn. The people were wonderful and it was very quiet. The rooms are old fashioned and keep the feeling of the original time era that the inn was established. We would definitely book again in a heartbeat. The river and Schlitterbahn is a 10 minute walk with restaurants and bars along the way.

Can not say enough good things. If you Inn's are your thing and you want to stay in a place built in 1899 then this is it. Great location. Owner welcomes you and is super nice and genuine. A speakeasy bar and jazz deal in the basement. Can imaging secret passageways. Amazing. If you normally state in a Holiday Inn or Marriott then don't stay here as you will whine about noise from your neighbors or a 80 year old bath or a short shower head. You are too high maintenance to stay at a nice, unique Inn like this.
