What does hotel garni mean?
A hotel garni offers bed and breakfast, but no restaurant serving dinner. For many guests that's exactly right: they don't want to be tied to a fixed table at the hotel in the evening, but would rather go out to eat in the village.
In Willingen this works particularly well, because the village has many restaurants and our house is right in the middle. Every evening you choose where to eat and walk there.
Hotel garni or guesthouse in Willingen: what's the difference?
In everyday use the terms are often used interchangeably. Anyone looking for a guesthouse in Willingen is usually looking for a small, personally run house with breakfast, without a big hotel operation. That describes us. We call ourselves a hotel garni because we have comfort rooms and apartments with en-suite bathrooms, a reception and a ski room.
It still stays personal. Uwe usually stands at the tap himself, and we answer your enquiry directly from the house, not from a call centre.
What is breakfast like at the hotel garni?
If a house offers only one meal, it has to be right. Our gourmet breakfast runs from 8.00 to 11.30 am, with salmon, bubbly and scrambled eggs that we make individually to order. The breakfast room is non-smoking.
You can read all about the buffet under Bed and breakfast.

Enquire about a roomWhat do you do in the evening without a hotel restaurant?
You head into the village. You reach the village centre in about a minute, and there are restaurants for every taste. And when you come back, the Kupferkanne on the ground floor is open, the oldest village pub in Willingen, with Sky sports bar, smoking room and sun terrace.
That's the difference from a classic guesthouse: with us, the evening doesn't end at the front door.
Where is the hotel garni in Willingen?
At Briloner Straße 6, right in the village centre. It's one minute to the centre of the village, approx. 10 minutes to the valley station of the Ettelsberg cable car, and also approx. 10 minutes to the station. There's free parking at the house.
Location matters especially for a hotel garni: if you go out to eat in the village in the evening, you want short distances. Read more under Hotel in the centre.
What rooms does the hotel garni have?
Two sizes: the comfort room for two to four people and the apartment for three to six. Both with shower or bath and WC, Wi-Fi and breakfast. A weekend from Friday to Sunday costs from €129 per person in the apartment and from €139 in the comfort room, except in Season A.
