“Prachtig hotel waar je heel wat jaren terug in de tijd stapt. Interieur is bijna museaal, maar degelijk en superschoon. Prima bedden en een goede douche. Ontbijt goed verzorgd. En dat alles voor een zeer bescheiden prijs. De eigenaresse, Frau Geiss, is zeer vriendelijk en behulpzaam en gezien de oorkondes aan de muur als sinds 1959! werkzaam in de hotellerie. Aanrader!”

“Sehr, sehr sauber, wenn auch sicherlich schon in die Jahre gekommenen Einrichtung. Frühstück mehr als ausreichend, aber man darf auch nicht zu viel erwarten. Sehr nette, hilfsbereite Besitzerin!”

“I stayed at this wonderful residence 42 years ago. It was solid and clean and well maintained then! The breakfast was abundant and delicious. Best of all, my entire extended family (of 20) was pampered (mothered) and cared for by the same proprietor who manages the hotel today .. Frau Geiss. She is a pillar of the community and used to provide brunch and beer to the hospital ambulance drivers every late morning.”

“Es gibt das Hotel Garni schon sehr lange. Für die antike Einrichtung des Cafés und Hotels würden manche Menschen extra bezahlen. Frau Geiß, die Besitzerin kümmert sich noch in sehr hohem Alter liebevoll persönlich um ihre Gäste. Einfach wunderbar und wärmstens zu empfehlen in Birkenfeld :-)”

“Übernachtungs Möglichkeit wegen einem Besuch auf einem Mittelalter Fest gesucht und hier gefunden. Die Chefin ist eine ältere Dame die sehr nett ist. Die Zimmer wir haben jetzt nur eins gesehen sind in die Jahre gekommen aber deswegen nicht ungemütlich. Man sollte keine großen Ansprüche stellen dann wird das eine super Übernachtung. Frühstück ausreichend und mit dem Charme der 70ziger Jahre wundervoll in die Tat umgesetzt. Alles in allem für wenig Geld eine Übernachtungs Möglichkeit die jetzt nicht's besonderes ist aber auch nicht das schlechteste.”
