Berg & Spa Hotel Gabelbach

The location is great, it's surrounded by woods. It's nice to walk around or hike a bit, especially with your dogs. However, don't try to take your dog inside the restaurant! It's not allowed. Both, the hotel and the restaurant used to be dog friendly, but not anymore. It's one thing for the hotel, definitely not nice, but a lot of hotels don't let you stay with your dog - it's like "whatever" for me. But the restaurant? To be honest, it's the ONLY restaurant that I know of in Germany, where I cannot take my dog inside to dine! I travel a lot with my dog all over Europe and I have NEVER been denied to enter a restaurant with her anywhere. Fyi my dog is 4kg, she doesn't shed (so no risk for allergic people) and when I take her inside a building she is in her bag (and stays there), in which I am even allowed to take her on a plane with me as a "pet in cabin". So, a "dogs not allowed inside" sign is extremely disappointing, especially for a restaurant in this location. Since my dog is not welcome there I won't visit the restaurant either.

A friend of mine had called to make a reservation for a single night in a double room. The person ho attended us told us they have no reservation on our name. He told us his colleague made a mistake and even got angry and threatened to call the authorities if we insisted. My friend was only asking if they could resolve it so we have a place to stay at. Akwardly rude.
