Frommer's Highly Recommended

Cozy, personalized, and substantial, this guesthouse sits within a quiet residential neighborhood. It was bought by the grandfather of the present owner in 1912, rebuilt after its destruction during World War II. Today it welcomes visitors in a "music room" where there's a beer, wine, and coffee bar and a collection of guitars and lutes displayed on the walls. There's an on-site computer with an Internet connection so guests can check their e-mail, a green Kachelofen (tiled stove), and a decor that might remind you of a ski lodge high in the Alps. Rooms are comfortable, nonsmoking, and modern-looking, with larger-than-expected bathrooms containing tub/shower combinations and, in many cases, a piece of furniture hand-made by members of the Kuhn family, your hosts. The pension will rent you a bike and dispense information about where to ride.
