From: trot Category: Consumer Date: 27 August 2007 Time: 01:10 PM Review: Ah what an oasis. A hotel, not super luxury, which embraces you with a warmth of service. The staff, besides the cook, are all women who wear traditional Bavarian dress and seem as though they belong to a smiling maternal order of hotel-abbesses. Though not much English speaking, they never make the bumbling English tourists feel annoying. Breakfast (cold meats cheese eggs cereal) is served without rancour even if you happen to get up after midday, and you are the only one who still wants it. Weissenberg is off the beaten track, a surreal (by which we mean something like something we saw in a film or tv or read about) very accurate representation of a gingerbread sloping roof pink houses and shops with painted signs town in the heart of germany. And the Golden Rose, with its quiet unostentacious rooms and lovely garden in the back, is Weissenbergs jewel, a place made unique by it's Breughelesque band of female workers, who will make you welcome without feeling sevilely served.
