Hotel Land Gut Höhne in Mettmann

A lovely experience, definitely recommended for a relaxing vacation!

Pros:
- staff is very friendly, everybody was helpful, and smiling, you could see them interact and be joyful and giving a welcoming feeling
-The food is incredible, from the morning buffet, to the evening one - lots of options, healthy, balanced and intriguing; from fresh sushi, fish, three types of meat, fresh pasta, to lots of nice and interesting side dishes and appetizers and lovely variety of desserts. You always have a choice, regardless of dietary preferences as they accommodate lots of them. In the morning they also have a juice machine which we really enjoyed.
- spa & relaxation area: it is clean, the quiet areas are good and recharging, rules are respected so you can rest or relax; it is not crowded - it would rarely be the case to be in the pool with someone else at the same time even, and the same goes for the sauna ( depends of course on which you prefer, but at most you would wait for another couple for the outside ones as they are smaller and the inside ones are bigger and emptier)
- the place is huge and well maintained, great to have some walks around, especially now with the autumn colours

Improvement tips:
- for the snack buffet it would be nice if there could be some options that include protein as well - for now there are lots of carbs and greens (although the waffles and cakes are amazing!)
- would be good to make it clear that the slippers are not water resistant; we saw quite some people with them in the sauna and the slippers just decomposed there
- there could be more signs in English 😅 we are aware it's a hotel in Germany, but some contain some rules and we did not always have a way to translate the signs (such as in the sauna area where you don't have a phone). Since it is such a great hotel it would be nice to accommodate this a bit more 😊

All in all, we loved the experience and are looking forward to coming back 😁

Really good food! The beef and the sushi were amazing. Spacious room, nice grounds, and fresh air. Loved the cat and bird houses. Very cute!

Majority of rooms were good and confortable. Buffet dinners and breakfasts were excellent Service was kind and friendly Wine selection was rather basic

I went 2 days for my birthday, the hotel so clean and comfortable. I really enjoyed the food but the main issue wad the timing for wellness and spa was the same time as dinner from 18:00 but everything else was perfect

My wife and I spent the weekend at Hotel Land Gut Höhne and we really liked our time there.
However, there are slight improvements possible and therefore - given the price tag of the accomondation - I can only give 4 out of 5 stars (I would give 4.5 if possible)

Cons:
- We arrived on one of the hottest days of the year and our room did not have an AC. After showering, it was also a bit humid in the room and this plus the heat made it uncomfortable for that night
- Our double room had two single sized beds pushed next too each other. We would have preferred a real double bed
- Complementary table water in the room and at the dinner would have been nice. Especially with temperatures above 30 C. The table water at dinner was quite expensive for what seemed to be tap water filled in bottles branded with the hotel logo.

Pros:
- The service was on point. Every person from the hotel we interacted with was very polite and professional
- The quality and variarty of the food was amazing. I am vegetarian and I was worried a bit that maybe the selection might not be too big for me, especially since the hotel advertises its buffet with "live cooking" and such, which usually favour meat and fish heavy cuisines. None of that was true. I had the biggest selection possible and everything tasted so fresh and good!
- The flair of the hotel itself is amazing

Overall, we would stay there again :)

Hotel Land Gut Höhne is the perfect place to disconnect from everything and fully immerse yourself in nature and relaxation. The location is peaceful and surrounded by beautiful fields, making it ideal for unwinding. The rooms are thoughtfully designed, with stone and wood elements that create a warm and cozy atmosphere. The mattress quality was exceptional. As for the facilities, the more we explored, the more hidden gems we discovered.

We spent hours playing billiard and table football, taking long walks across the surrounding fields, enjoying drinks by the fireplace, and indulging in the fantastic spa. Every corner of the hotel offered something special, making our stay both relaxing and entertaining.

However, the true highlight was the restaurant. The food was outstanding, with top-quality ingredients and an impressive variety of options. A special mention goes to the afternoon sweet treat, which was a delightful surprise.

If there’s one point for improvement, it would be the breakfast selection. It would be great to have some cakes or pastries available every morning, not just on weekends, as some guests enjoy something sweet to start the day.

If you need to spend a weekend with your partner, this is the right place. If you are there for work, at the end of the day you will have the opportunity to shake off the fatigue of work. Sure the price is a bit high but it is really worth it!
