Hotel - Restaurant le Cerf & Spa

This hotel and restaurant is held since generations by the same family. It was a pleasure to be there again. The room was cozy, we’ve passed an excellent and calm night. Beaucoup de Mets différents pour un copieux petit déjeuner. Nous avons pu jouir du soleil de l’après-midi dans la cour de l’hôtel. En plus, nous avons pu charger notre tesla dans le garage de l’hôtel. Weekend de Pâques très réussi! En plus, un personnel bien à la hauteur.

Uninteresting little village but original and pleasant courtyard. The room was very comfortable and the bathroom very well equipped. Gowns and slippers and original Alsacian sitting area with table and chairs. Comfortable couch in this large room.

We had heard very positive feedback of friends so we were looking forward to a super meal. Maybe we were not lucky because the local rotarians had their annual diner that night. We took the "menu de la saison". Lobster salad with fennel. The fennel did go very well with the lobster and was quite delicious, but in contrast, the lobster lacked taste. Had it been frozen? The "sandre" from the Rhine was delicious, lots of taste with a very buttery sauce. Top! The chevreuil (roe deer) was a bit of a disillusion. While roe deer can be very tender and tasteful this was too hard and lacked taste. Probably, the meat had had no time to age. The dessert with apricots was a quite heavy cake with a few slices of apricot, which missed aroma. I had asked for the wine pairing. 3 glasses, two Riesling and a pinot noir. Of course of the Alsace, but we were just shown the bottle and did not get any further explanation. "Why this wine, what makes it special, why does it match the food?" The sommelier was there just in the beginning to take the order, but did not come back to explain. All in all quite a decent meal, but not the unforgettable experience in a star restaurant, which we had been hoping for, and which would have been in line with the price.

The first room we were offered smelled strongly as if an old dog had been housed there for a long time. We complained and got offered another room, but for 35 Euro extra.... in fact we had asked for a "traditional" room for 110 Euro, the smelly room was already more expensive and we paid 150 in the end. Breakfast not included. Breakfast was good, nice bread, excellent ham. We could press fresh orange juice. But no croissants, and that in France. The garage (at 14 euro) was not very large, but I could charge my car at no extra cost!

Grande déception. Si le restaurant s'est tire honorablement (malgré des prix "généreux"), il n'en est pas de même de l'hotel, indigne de se parer de 4 étoiles. Chambre exiguë, installation sanitaire dépassée, tv hors d'usage, stores abimés, literie non confortable (un seul oreiller d'appoint)... Cet hôtel devrait faire l'objet d'une sérieuse rénovation. Dommage.

Service, attention, qualité gustative et visuelle tres au dessous de ce que nous attendons d’un menu inspiration dans une maison 1 étoile michelin , dommage! En revanche, l’hotel et son staff étaient tres agréable et le petit déjeuné parfait
