Steigenberger Hotel Deidesheim

good Breakfast, Hotel is just in walking distance from the centre, they also offered a hike through the wine yard which was great, especially the tour guide was super! and the hotel is just located at a little park which is perfect.

Hotel just next to railway, eventhough the train during night does not operate. hotel with the old carpets etc should have a renovation.

The location is marvelous -- the hotel is set between vineyards and a small park at the edge of Deidesheim, a particularly attractive small town. The buffet breakfast was complete and very nicely presented. Staff were polite and seemed competent and well-informed.

Although the setting is delightful, the Steigenberger Hotel Deidesheim is, at best, dull. One might well be tempted to describe it as tasteless. It has the look and the charm of a "motel" placed at an Autobahnkreuz or of a hotel in an industrial suburb. Apparently most of its roughly 120 rooms are similar, if not identical -- a "cookie-cutter" design not normally encountered in four-star hotels in relatively rustic settings. Among the astonishing "features" of the hotel are the extraordinarily long, straight corridors -- they seem to have been designed for bicycle racing. Despite the considerable price, our room was rather modestly furnished and equipped. At our request an electric tea kettle was indeed made available but without cups, saucers, spoons or teabags. At 9:00 AM on Sunday morning we needed to "make do" with lukewarm showers. My wife suspected that we were the last people in the hotel to shower and that the hot water system was struggling to catch up with the demand. But then we learned that earlier and later that morning many other guests had not had sufficient hot water. Hardly what one expects from a Steigenberger hotel.
