Schnee Eifel, Rhineland-Palatinate hotel rooms at the Independent

"It felt fancy and the amenities were top-notch. Restaurant was very good. Library bar was fun."

"If you're a racing fan or just love stunning views, this 4-star gem right on the Nürburgring's starting line is unbeatable! Our recent stay was pure bliss – the spacious, soundproofed room with a balcony overlooking the track made us feel like VIPs at every revving engine."

"Very nice hotel. Room was great, comfortable and very clean. Restaurant was outstanding including the service. Great location , reasonable price. The only thing missing was a coffee machine or tea kettle in the room."

"Very new, clean and modern place. Euro style fluffy bed pillows were not to my liking, but okay. Free open air onsite parking was good. We were pleasantly surprised and value for money. Mostly unattended service site, with self check in facilities. Would stay again."

"The hotel receptionist Pedro was fantastic. He was professional, helpful and kind. He should be promoted to manager. The kitchens delivered up delicious food. Our server in the restaurant was forgetful though. We stayed one night in the Design hotel and the other night in the Kroener connected sister hotel. Both of our rooms were beautiful, well decorated, spacious and clean. I recommend these hotels. "

"Great location with amazing roads. Ideal for motorcycle touring"

"Great place to stay. Friendly helpful staff. Motorbike parked safely right by hotel entrance. Short walk into the beautiful town. Lovely breakfast, after a swim."

"I highly recommend this hotel to everyone! It’s very family-friendly, the staff are amazing and always helpful, and the food is absolutely delicious. A great experience overall!"

"We liked the size of the room and where the hotel was located in the town. It was easy to access the F1 shuttle and walkable for many good cafes and restaurants. There was also a very cute dog that may have lived with the owner that was a big highlight. We did not like the condition of the hotel or room. The pictures on the website were obviously of a better time for the hotel. The bed was uncomfortable, the two very old pillows were almost not pillows, the bed linens and towels were very worn. The shower had great water pressure but the shower enclosure was awkward and ineffective. The bathroom floor was very slippery with so much water getting on it. There was no tv, the wifi was not good and the parking is just general street parking ( which we had no problem finding parking). Overall, I would personally not stay at this hotel again. It is way too run down and old. However the place would be cute if some love and care was put back into it. "
