Hotel-Weingut Karlsmühle - Mertesdorf, Trier

The room was exactly as described and very clean. The staff all spoke English and were very friendly and accomodating. The manager was interested our background and took time to explain the history of the hotel. The meals were delicious and we had the option of eating outside. Close to the Trier City Center but away from the hustle. Would recommend to friends!

Wir waren zum 2. Mal da in diesem Jahr (Ohlewiger Weinfest) und werden die kommenden Jahre gerne wieder kommen!! :o)

Th surrondings were excellent only lots and lots of spiders at the stairway

We loved this hotel and were sorry we had only one night here. We had a 4 bed room, which was comfortable. It was such a peaceful setting. We had a lovely dinner outside. My teenage boys enjoyed the game (wild boar, venison) on the menu. Our older son rented a bicycle in Trier and rode out to the hotel, a quick ride (8 km). Our younger son enjoyed exploring the park like setting and finding the trout ponds, ducks, pot bellied pig and bunnies. The staff was very friendly but was not fluent in English so we all had to work at communications, which was fine.

A nice hotel with excellent surrounding. Keep a good distance from the city center to enjoy the quiteness. The staff is helpful.

Well wirth a visit, superb surroundings in the Ruwer Tal. Owner makes their own wine !!!

Friendly and courteous staff, we requested and were given room on water mill side.

Hote-Weingut Karlsmuhle was one of our favorite places we stayed on our family's European vacation. We wish we could have stayed longer it was so nice here! The country atmosphere is so relaxing and the river running behind the hotel is so beautiful. It really is a picturesque setting. The beds were very comfortable and the rooms very nice and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The food was excellent! We stayed here with our 5 children and it was nice and quiet. A great place for families or just couples. We can't wait to go back!

Really enjoyed our stay here with the evening meal and the breakfast in the hotel restaurant being excellent (included trout form their own trout farm and locally grown vegetables. Rooms were spotlessly clean and comfortable

Hotel is located in nice quiet surroundings. Less pleasant is that almost the whole hotel smells like a deep frying pan. Rooms are small, and the ceiling in the bathroom of our room was no higher than 2 meters (unter the shower even less). Beds are also not suitable for tall people. Personnel was polite and friendly. Breakfast was poor for German standards. Dinner was quite oke, food is reasonable, and the local wines served are great. Too bad that only one cd was played, which we've heard at least 3 times. Overall good price/ quality.

It was my third stay in this place and I would not hesitate to spend one week more in the near future.

This was my first trip to Mertesdorf and as a vacationer to Germany. This was one of my favorite places during my 9 day trip from Germany to Paris to Italy. The people in the community were very helpful and friendly. The staff at Hotel-Weingut Karlsmuhle went out of their way for our stay. The feather down comforters were a highlight for my sister. The breakfast at this hotel was our overall favorite to the four bed and breakfast hotels we stayed at during our trip. It was easy to travel about the countryside by bus and it was beautiful. I highly recommend this hotel in this small community outside of Trier.

After a very long Journey, I arrived very late at the Hotel. The welcome I received was first class and very friendly. I would have no hesitation in recommending this Hotel to others.

The innkeepers were especially kind and went out of their way to make our stay comfortable and convenient.

Die Karlsmühle ist für Familien mit Kleinkindern absolut empfehlenswert. Das Hotel liegt im Grünen, im Gastgarten gibt es ein Flüsschen mit Mühlenrad, daneben eine riesige Wiese mit allen möglichen Spielgeräten, Bänken und Sitzgruppen, nebenan einen Pferdehof. Die Leute schenken ihren eigenen Wein aus, der wirklich sehr gut ist. Nicht weit entfernt befindet sich auch noch ein öffentliches Schwimmbad. Wir hatten ein Dreibettzimmer bestellt und kriegten ein Zimmer mit Doppelbett mit angrenzendem kleinem Zimmer mit Einzelbett. Unsere Tochter hat hier zum ersten Mal mit Begeisterung in "ihrem eigenen" Zimmer geschlafen. Das Frühstück war super, die Leute vom Hotel wirklich sehr nett. Man sollte sich vielleicht vor der Anfahrt die Karte gut ansehen, das Hotel muss man schon ein wenig suchen.

A very nice place in a nice surroundings.

Benedict & his staff were excellent, his English is perfect making communication simple for us who have no command of the German language. Ideal location for young children, plenty of space & loads of farm animals adjacent to the Hotel.

This place was wonderful. We enjoyed walking the vineyards during harvest, eating wonderful food and exploring the Mosel Valley. We would definitely come here again.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel and would highly recommend it! Excellent meal at the hotel. Beautiful location. Short car drive to Trier.

This was a wonderful hotel that felt like home. Friendly staff, clean rooms, great restaurant, and relaxing surroundings. We loved that fact that the hotel was close to town but tucked quietly away in the vineyards. We would definitely stay there again.

Nice, typical German place sorrounded by vineyards and green hills. The old mill in the hotel's park, Trier (the Roman City of Treviri) and the Mosel valley will always stay in our hearts!

I am satisfied of everything, but a little bit disappointed when i saw that the rooms were in a modern and very plain building in the rear.I choose the hotel for a romantic weekend and got a very plain and standard room. not bad but that was not what i was looking for, based on the photos. They should include in the description that the rooms are not in the old part of the building.

This is a lovely spot, convenient to Trier but out the the "Bustle" of the city. The surroundings and restaurant are lovely, the owner very helpful and friendly, and the restaurant attractive with an excellent breakfast. But...the hotel rooms are in a newer but faded rear section of the building, with a dingy stairwell and halls, with a mildew odor. The rooms are clean but furnished with very worn-out cheap modern furnishings - what you might expect in an aging Motel 6. It seems to me, with the lovely, historic setting and attractive common areas, that upgrading the furnishings and hallways would go a long way toward making this a top small inn.

Hard to find location. Had dinner at the restaurant. VERY slow service! (outside). Breakfast: very good. Rooms: very plain, no "Gemuetlichkeit". The stairs to the rooms were a pain with heavy luggage. No lifts.

Nous n'avons pu apprécier l'accueil de l'hôtel : quand nous sommes arrivés à 20h, la chambre avait été relouée. Comme la réservation avait été faite avec mon numéro de carte de crédit, je n'avais pas imaginé qu'il fallait confirmer (et avant 18h s'il vous plaît!). Ce type d'information devrait figurer sur le site de recherche de venere.com, car les pratiques varient d'un pays à l'autre.

The associated resturant had an excellent menu with quality meals. We had a problem with the hotel in that we changed our arrival date but the owner claimed it was never received--we were charged a no-show fee which we will challenge.

We had a nice stay in a lovely hotel. The service was good. Especially the shower was splendid.

A great hotel: lovely semi rural location with waterwheel and childrens play activities in the gardens, very good restaurant and welcoming staff. Only slight downside is the small bar area and lack of non-smoking areas in restaurant or bar.

My partner and I unfortunately had only one night to enjoy the surroundings and hospitality this lovely quaint hotel has to offer. we would have no hesitation in returning for a longer stay or to recommending the hotel to anyone. the staff were very efficent and helpfull and it gave us a great start to our holiday. We will return!!

I would definitely stay here again. You do need a car as the hotel is several kilometers from town but that is part of the charm. It is an excellent location for touring the surrounding area. The food is very good and the wine from their vineyard is very nice.

We have enjoyed our visit and hope to be back one day. It is a very nice hotel in a beautiful area. The room is big and nice and you have a good playground for children.

We had a lovely stay. Beautiful surroundings and restaurant serving good German food and some excellent local wines. A clearer map which indicated the names of towns the road continues on to (and would be signposted for) would have been useful.

Pleasant welcome, comfortable hotel in quiet surroundings. Good restaurant with traditional fare.

A lovely hotel with friendly service set in pretty woodland.

My family and I enjoyed a lovely but very brief stay here on July 21st last. We arrived in Trier by train and the owners kindly collected us from bus stop in Mertesdorf. The scenery is stunning and we found the staff very helpful and friendly.

We enyoied the stay and dinner was perfect with a good wine!

An ideal hotel for a family, children and dog friendly

Beautiful setting, I plan on staying there again. The meals were also excellent.

In one word... EXCELLENT!

My wife and I had a wonderful time staying at the hotel. The resteraunt and server were great. We want to come back and stay longer.

This was a fantastic stay. We were looking for a placid, rural setting outside the city and we found it. The bus connection to town wasn't quite as handy as we were led to believe but we got to enjoy the walk to the bus stop. We would especially like to commend the managers of the hotel. They were exceptionally friendly and accomodating.

I found the hotel in pleasant surroundings, in a very quiet position. The food in the hotel was excellent and the staff and manager/owner were very professional and friendly.I would have no hesitation in staying at this hotel again if I am ever again in the area.

Quiet place at an affordable price. Balcony is shared with other guests. No air conditioning.

We did find it hard to locate the B&B. It is a hidden little treasure. For the price, you couldn't do any better. The food was excellent and the service was great. It is very clean. The only thing I noticed was that the playground was run down, but that was because we had a 2-year-old with us, and he wanted to use the equipment. I would recommend this B&B to anyone.

Thoroughly enjoyed stay. Would recommend it highly to those who enjoy rural surroundings. Helpful and friendly staff and excellent food. Good base to enjoy Mosel/Rhine valleys.

We found the karlsmuhle a very quant and beautiful setting, the patio was especially nice,a wonderful spot to relax in the late afternoon and evening sampling the excellent wine and beer of the region.

Would definitely recommend this hotel. It is in rural surroundings - very tranquil- but only a few Km from Trier., serves excellent Reisling from the on-site winery. Flies were a bit of a problem around the tables Manager ver friendly and helpful staff, plenty of parking, good atmosphere all round.

We had a very pleasant and restful stay. As we were one of two or three guests we got a very high level of attention. Rooms are very basic but very clean. The location/suroundings are very nice (even in the dead of winter when we visited). Would love to see it in the spring/summer/fall with the surrounding open space and vineyards, stream running through the property, etc. Breakfast was great and dinner was very good and a great value. Will return again.
