Very traditional interior design including lumber and hand made decorations. Polite and friendly staf. Spacious room, spotless clean,noice proof, toiletries,hair dryer. Everything was great.

My €129 one-night stay for two included a very disappointing breakfast. We were provided a basic plate of cheese, cold cuts, butter, and bread with jams. Small bowls of scrambled eggs or yogurt were available, but only if we specifically asked for them. The most glaring omission was the complete absence of any fruits or vegetables. While filter coffee was served at the table, I later discovered that espresso, cappuccino, or tea were available upon request, which I then ordered. As I don't speak, read, or write German, I couldn't understand any written information about these options. It's frustrating to pay that much when I've experienced much more ample and diverse breakfast buffets, including fresh produce, at hostels for half the cost.

The location was in the centre of Nideggen. It was possible to walk to the castle and other sights. The hotel was an eclectic mix of modern, boho, vintage, and traditional styles but in a good way. It made the place more interesting than your average hotel. The accommodation was clean; the beds comfy; the hosts were friendly and breakfast was good and plentiful. The restaurant was closed for dinner but the village has restaurants nearby and several cafes. Parking was available near to the hotel.

I thought the use of shower curtains in the bedroom was a bit wacky. :-)

Very nice breakfast served. The tables are ready on arrival with bread and coffee and the owners bring some meats and cheeses to your table, and you have chance to request fruit, yoghurt, egg, ... and a selection of tea and coffee. Nice orange juice, but it's not freshly squized as I read in another review. The area for the breakfast is very cozy. The inside of the hotel in general is very cozy. Bottle of water on arrival in the room. Parking was for us street parking behind the hotel. There are also a few places next to the hotel but this was full. Nice hiking in the area!

Room 6 is about 20m2 including bathroom, definitely not 30 as the desciption mentions. Low ceiling so it did feel a bit cramped versus what we expected from the description. There was only 1 chair (no couch as picture in description might give impression. There was a shared space with couch further down the hall) and only 1 glas next to the water bottle, but we used one from the bathroom. The bathroom had a huge glass window toward the room where you see everything. Even the toilet was partially visible if you walked in from the hall. If you are not a couple, you probably won't enjoy it like that. Even as a couple, it was a bit strange. Picture is the view on the shower from the bed.

A very pleasant stay and a huge comfortable bed. The room was very large, clean and characterful with a nice bathroom. We arrived quite late (7pm) but check in was fine. Parking is in a separate area opposite a few dozen metres away. Breakfast is continental with superb bread, various hams and meats, cheese, cereals and jams and honey, really nice quality and plenty to eat. The hosts even offered us the opportunity to make some sandwiches from our breakfast selection for our onward journey and filled our flask with some tea ! Awesome. The village is very pretty and there is a spectacular castle and church just a few minutes walk up the top of the hill.

The curtains in our room were a little thin and let the light through as we normally have blackout curtains, but not a huge problem. The restaurant wasn't open the day we arrived which was a shame, but we found a nice restaurant just up the street a few hundred metres away, so not an issue really, but it would have been nice to eat there as it was one of the reasons that I booked a hotel with a restaurant !!

Cosy and comfortable public areas with places to sit quiet and read. Super breakfast, perhaps too much that results in waste. Everything super fresh.

Room (9) relatively basic, could do with extra picture or mirror, plus light privacy curtains cos overlooked. Shower head fell off and my man had to use as "hose".

It’s a traditional German hotel. Full of character. Staff were very welcoming. If you need staff who can speak English, both of the ones we met spoke perfect English. Situated in a beautiful town. Good choice of restaurants within just a short walk. Definitely one to return to.

The WiFi only worked marginally. Poor signal strength and the speed was slow. Fortunately we could use a cellphone instead and the hotel is in an area where it worked well.

Atmospheric old hotel, very well situated in the centre of a lovely town by the Eifel National Park. Convenient car parking in a yard just across the road. English-speaking staff and good conversation.

I have no criticism to make - everything was fine.

The room was exemplary. Clean and comfortable and oozing with old world charm. Good breakfast and excellent service. Located in the middle of a charming town with excellent restaurants just a few steps away. Overall an outstanding stay!

There was nothing to dislike. Maybe some fruits at breakfast if one.is really looking for something to.improve!

Once again we have stayed at the Zur Ewigen Lampe, a favourite of ours for one night stays en route to the Alps and back. It is a perfect stop off in the stunningly beautiful town of Nideggen. The option of wonderful dining in the hotel, or other fantastic options close by in the town and simply superb. We alway walk up to and around the Burg Nideggen, where there is also a restaurant serving first class food. The owners of the Z.E.L. are simply charming, always helpful with parking and they look after us as though we are family. The owner recognised me from my visit in March this year, 4 months prior to this stay, and made us very welcome. This was the first time that I've stayed with my partner and she thought the hotel was absolutely wonderful too. Room was very clean a super-spacious, lovely bathroom, very comfy beds (we like a firm bed) and excellent breakfast, all beautifully laid out on our table. Indeed, since it was looking as though we were not going to eat all of our breakfast the owner very kindly asked if we would like to make up some rolls for our lunch to take with us - what a lovely gesture!

Staff were very helpful and even made room for us to park our bikes undercover. The town has plenty of restaurants and a visit to the castle is a must.

Nothing of note
