This is the typical hotel to stay while visiting nearby attractions. The rooms are clean and modern. The breakfast is very good with scrambled eggs, bacon, fruits, bagels, cereals and more. Coffee, teas and juices are also offered. Be advised that the desk opens for check in at 2:30 pm, so it is not useful to show up earlier.

Convenient hotel for transit. Close from the Autobahn. Pros: Good bed, very clean sheets, good shower, friendly employees, good breakfast. A supermarket next to the hotel. Cons: no airconditioning in the room. Not possible to sleep with open windows, given the LKW transit noise.

Disappointing

20 mins for someone to come and open the hotel for us as we had a late check in. Very bad info on this on the hotel info. Breakfast was disappointing, cold eggs, very little choice. Not worth the money we paid.

Halt ein Hotel für die Durchreise. Im Gewerbegebiet liegend. Das Bad hat fürchterlich gerochen. Zimmer gerade so für eine Nacht mit drei Personen groß genug. Beim Frühstück war die Brötchenauswahl top beim Aufschnitt nur unteres Mittelmaß

Perfekt hotell

Rummet var luftigt, rent, praktiskt, sköna sängar, fanns även en liten köksdel. Bra frukost och parkering direkt utanför. Mycket nöjd. Burgerking och mcdonals precis bredvid, praktiskt vid genomresa och sen ankomst.

Zwischenstopp mit gutem Frühstück

Das Alb Inn liegt für uns perfekt um die Urlaubsan- und abreise in die Berge in zwei Etappen zu gestalten. Es ist nah an der Autobahn, hat ausreichend Parkplätze, Zimmer sind ausreichend groß und das Frühstück ist gut. Zudem gibt es die Möglichkeit spät anzureisen. Ansonsten hoffe ich das die Preise nicht weiter steigen…
