Unfortunately, we were not enthusiastic about our stay. Based on the good reviews, we booked a room from Friday to Sunday at the Lindner Hotel & Spa Binshof.

***Room***
The entire hotel complex is in very good condition and the rooms are clean. The staff courteous and friendly.

***Spa area***
The wellness area looks more extensive on pictures online. Unfortunately, the textile-free area is a lot larger. We didn't test the saunas, but we weren't really enthusiastic about the rest either. The water temperature could generally be 2.3 degrees warmer. The loungers were unfortunately all occupied with hand towels, so that we had no space to lie down or to put our things. Otherwise generally clean.

***Eat***
We had booked half board and were very disappointed with the food. There was a buffet, including red cabbage, spaetzle, roast, various starters and desserts.
The appetizers (salad, shrimp, pate) were delicious and freshly made. The main courses were all lukewarm and didn't taste good. The desserts consisted of ready meals and from the freezer - unfortunately not enjoyable. All in all, the food failed us!

What also bothered us was the distribution of the tables. We felt like 20cm of space to the next table. There is definitely room for improvement here. Unfortunately, almost every table in the area wobbled, including ours.

The breakfast was just as disappointing, we found cold cuts and cheeses, warm-up rolls and croissants and pretzels (from the pack !!). There was also yogurt and fruit, but very little choice. Unfortunately we didn't like it at all. Except for the bread, which was probably baked by ourselves, we found it very tasty.

***Miscellaneous***
What we also found very annoying were the day guests. Sure, usually not a problem. But with the greetings from the spa area and the total number of loungers, there is definitely room for improvement!

Because of this disappointment, we left a day earlier. Unfortunately, the Lindner Hotel & Soa Binshof didn't impress us at all. The name probably has an even higher reputation than the hotel actually gives.
