Nice Hotel with a Perfect Inside on Beer Culture

4.0 of 5 bubblesReviewed 5 Sept 2018
Nice hotel, located in the middle of the old town. The interesting common factor of the hotel and restaurant located opposite is the Beer Culture. The hotel owner has a small beer brewery and in almost all the products used like shampoo, or in the food there is part beer included. The room is nice well appointed, on international standards with all the facilities including that of an espresso machine. The room is big and a good size bathroom. The opposite restaurant is a real gem. It serves local cuisine with beer as I have ordered from the set menu. They have to a beer menu with 40 different brews. Excellent service and friendly. The breakfast is served in the same restaurant and the spread is nice and well covered with specialities. In addition, as I was booked on a package with the use of an e-bike, I am really impressed by the quality of the bicycle and the attention of the pack bag with snacks. Overall a nice experience and recommended because in this part of Germany at the Donau they have so many miles of cycle routes. Great also for families.
Date of stay: September 2018
Room Tip: All the room are quiet because of the hotel location

Great Best Western value. Rooms were spotless, bathrooms are well appointed. I have only a single complaint, and that is that the foldout bed is only good if you are a child. Otherwise, the mattress is thin, and the bars underneath drove into my upper back. Made for an awful night of sleep. But the bed (according to family members) was quite comfortable.
Lots of great bakeries, shops just steps away. Loved Ehingen!!

The hotel is clean, interiors pretty new and of good quality, staff is very friendly.

The beer style or beer concept is a little over done - almost absurd or ridiculous from time to time. We slept in a so called “beer suite” which was a well designed two storey room. Bathroom with a sliding glass door.

Staff in the restaurant was extremely friendly and helpful. But, dear manager, please pay them for extra time in the evening. We were at your hotel probably during one of the busiest nights in Ehingen due to a company event with > 1,000 guests: we would have loved a beer (or even a standard check in) after 11 pm.

It's great that you were good at our design hotel, if not in all respects.
Regarding the "payment" we can unfortunately not completely follow you.
Unfortunately, there are official closures and health and safety laws that we must adhere to.
We look forward to seeing you again ...

We stayed at this hotel for two nights March 27-29, 2018. Each room in this hotel seemed to have its own quirky, but highly functioning design. I had a king bed room with balcony and it was super compact, but I had everything I needed and I loved it. The staff was really helpful with everything I needed. The breakfast every morning was really good and there were many options to chose from. It was right in the middle of the little town which had several restaurants nearby. Very quant just lovely. I would totally stay there again! Great Job Best Western Ehingen, Germanhy

My room was attached to the old city wall, and was on 2 floors. Entry onto the steel upper floor also held the bathroom and closet. Down the steel stairs, past the deeply recessed window in the old city wall, and you find the large, comfortable bed and desk and TV. Quite an unusual layout, but fun. Dead silent rooms, since you are encased in either concrete and steel or the 3-foot thick wall!

Reception was OK, dinner outside in the courtyard was served from the excellent restaurant across the narrow street. I didn't have a chance to take the brewery tour, but it looked nice through the windows from the breakfast area in the restaurant. All through the hotel there were evidences of the brewery, from bier shampoo to various unusual bier themed foods on the menu, to souvenir bier-related bottled and jars full of nice edibles and potables. Certainly a place for beer fans!

Room tip: Ask for one of the "wall rooms" for a large, extremely quiet room. But only if you are able to negotiate the stairs.

I might be unpopular with some readers for saying this, but in my mind, “Bier” and “Kultur” are a contradiction in terms. And yet, somehow this hotel almost pulls it off. Room design is rather funky, with the bed in the center of the room (most comfortable!), different nooks and crannies for storing personal items, and a couch/writing desk at the foot of the bed, facing the window. Service at reception was not terribly friendly, the restaurant was good, both in terms of quality of food and service.
