Private & Discreet: Many hotel lobbies look more like airport terminals or train stations than welcoming reception areas. Take the architectural details and the interior design and experience our exceptional service, and you‘ll find that The Dude is more like a private mansion than a stop-over place for just anyone. The Dude is a place where you can feel at home or as though visiting good friends: hospitality with soul - stay sentimental!
Noted time and again: Nothing but proprietor-run! Sophisticated and discerning restaurant goers and hotel guests have probably often experienced what I, Alexander Schmidt-Vogel, the owner, have myself observed again and again: that hotels and restaurants run by their owners are a world apart from management-run establishments. They are warmer, friendlier and simply better. You will see me and my right hand, Britta Bettendorf, at the hotel every day - since we are your hosts, we want to make sure personally that your wishes are fulfilled. In this, we have brought to The Dude all the things we have missed on our own travels: it is our dream of a hotel! When you see us, you can call us „the Dude“ and „Moneypenny“, your caring hosts.
Characters (not staff): If some hotels are nothing more than „sleeping machines“, then their employees are nothing more than „robots“. We took our time and finally succeeded in finding not just cordially caring hosts, but also very interesting personalities, whom you will meet at the hotel and who will do everything to make your stay a memorable and sentimental one.
Confidentiality & Privacy: We kindly ask all our guests to use the doorbell of the hotel. In this way, we can ensure that you will feel completely private and that unwelcome onlookers and troublemakers remain outside. We call this the „Peacefulness of Locked Doors“.
