Conscious and sustainable holidays - you do without room cleaning during your stay and we donate 3 Euros to Tierpark Görlitz and to 4Ocean (seasonally alternating). From the 3rd night onwards, we will scurry into your room, junior suite or suite for a small service.

Let's do things together - for the sake of the environment! 

Your benefits: 

The good feeling of doing something sustainable for the environment.

From April to October incl. bike rental for 10 euros instead of 16 euros per day.

From November to March incl. our annual calendar for 5 euros instead of 15 euros or a hot drink of your choice, whether mulled wine, punch, tea, grog or coffee. Whether inside by the fireplace or "wrapped up" outside on the terrace in fine weather..., just as and where it suits you best.
