Hotel "Petrisberg" Wolfgang Pantenburg und Helmut Pantenburg

Fabulous view over Trier with all the main attractions in view. Great and wide ranging breakfast with deliciously fresh bread. Very helpful staff. The bedroom could do with a spruce up but it was clean, comfortable, warm and had that fabulous view. Plus a little terrace attched to the bedroom to sit and take in the view with a coffee or a glass of beer or wine.

We came across this hotel by pure chance and can't believe how lucky we were. The hotel is perfectly located in the quiet hilltop woods with a panoramic view of Trier. The city is just a short 20 minutes walk down the hill. Our room had a balcony with chairs and a table where we could sit and sip our wine. The bed was very comfortable and the whole room was nice and clean. We slept with the windows open and the only noise we heard was from the birds singing in the morning.The owners have amassed an incredible collection of antiques and curiosities over the years which adorn not just the common areas but the rooms as well. The hosts are very friendly and helpful and laid out a great breakfast in the morning. This is a place we will definitely return to.

The hotel is situated on top of the high hill,the road leading to it is very narrow and winding ,so you've to be very carefool when driving. If you want go to town you have to drive 12-14 minutes ,or walk down 20 minutes steep winding path.To go back from the city you have two options ,first walk up by the 30-40 minutes the steep hill or take taxi for 15 €. We made the reservation for double room with garden view,but we 've got a room overlooking the roof covered with gravel and wilted bushes.The garden surrounding the hotel was neglected.The hotel offers basic breakfast and on the first day our stay they have run out of black tea and the person taking care of breakfast buffet - stated "That there will be no black tea,because they have run out of it",and there was no black tea for our whole stay .There is no restaurant in the hotel,so you've to dine in town every evening.The whole place looks neglected and uncared for.The rooms are not soundproof ,so you could hear other guests .The only pro is car parking free of charge.

Set high above the town and connected by a switchback trail down to Trier. The hosts are Helmut and Wolfgang Pantenberg, who are the most charming of gentlemen. The hotel features tons of interesting items, carvings and comfortable beds with duvets. I felt as if I had been sent back in time. Most rooms (if not all) have spacious balconies overlooking Trier. The garden around the hotel is charming, with roses in bloom, sculpture and wildflowers. Each morning there is a wonderful breakfast to be had (included in room price) and Helmut is on hand to make sure your coffee cup is full. We, like others, got the recommendation for this hotel from Rick Steve's guidebook. We had such fun walking into town and to the wonderful Roman ruins and other points of interest like the Black Gate and the Karl Marx Museum in this great town! We hit a couple summer festival nights with live music. It's a real treat to stay here.

This hotel is on a hill overlooking Trier. With a GPS it was not hard to find. The rooms are very large. They are a little dated, but the bed was really comfortable. The host, a gentleman in his 80's was congenial, and spoke very good English. We stayed here because it was so highly rated by Rick Steves. We were a little disappointed in the breakfast as it was not cooked to order as Rick has stated. But t was fine, typical German breakfast. There is an elevator. Beautiful views of the town.

Basically you are paying for the beautiful view. The rest is a very basic hotel in need of a good freshening up: flimsy old towels, sad amenities, old bathroom tiles, no kettle no coffee no fridge, a small TV positioned so that you cannot possibly watch from the bed but only from the very uncomfortable armchairs. And a very sad breakfast too...

A great hotel with lots of character; clean, well-appointed rooms; a courteous staff; and a quaint restaurant with an outstanding breakfast. The views of Trier from the wall-to-wall, floor-to-ceiling window (with balcony) are great, and there's a trail down to the city. (The only downside we experienced was on a warm day in June. As the sun sets over the city it shines right into the rooms. The drapes don't do a good job of blocking the consequent heat, and the room was quite uncomfortable until well after sunset. Didn't have that issue on a cloudy November day.) We had family stay here twice and we had a great experience each time.

I cannot imagine a better hotel to enjoy Trier. The breakfasts are spectacular & Helmut, the host, is a real marvel. Can't rave enough. Go ahead & book a room without hesitation. Great access to the city (we rented bikes, but it is a pleasure walking through the woods surrounding the hotel. Loved it. (This is written by a guy who doesn't normally like staying in hotels…)

Amazing view of Trier! This hotel sits high up on the hill overlooking basically the entire city! Free parking, amazing breakfast and THE MOST COMFORTABLE BED I have ever slept on in Germany! Also, be sure your room has an excellent balcony view - the sunset(s) are perfect!
