The family

Brother and sister

Hotel Asterisk stands for hospitality in a casual family atmosphere. As representatives of the third generation of Asterisk, we strive to offer our guests a carefree stay. We have a trusting relationship as brother and sister and a shared vision for our business. Because we grew up in the hotel and still both live there, the commitment to the company is very high and we can quickly resolve any complaints or small repartitions.

Because we have a common interest, we guarantee stability and continuity. Every year, we renovate a number of rooms and in addition, we are always expanding our service. We take your review seriously and like to improve our product by following up your suggestions.
