Van der Valk Schlosshotel Ballenstedt

Nice hotel with tasteful Christmas decoration. Rooms are spacious with great views and clean. They accommodated our family meeting with a large table. Some of the staff were a bit grumpy. The demi pension is overpriced. Breakfast was great, dinner buffet only average. The pool has limited opening hours.

We had a fantastic weekend there. The room was great and with a nice view. The Spa centre and the restaurant are really great. I enjoyed the most of the breakfast.

Really beautiful hotel, kind service. Downsides, way to bright in the room, no way to make it darker would need black out blinds. Ballenstedt isn’t really a special town, hardly any options for restaurants etc.

staff nice but only German speaking. food is not great. room is ok but no soap provided

We only stayed overnight. We can not describe the surrounding well. However the service was really well. And my english was well understood. The vieuw from the room was nice and access to a mini fridge was a nice touch. Breakfast and dinner was also good. Breakfast was included in our price and offered enough variation. It was really worth the overal cost.
