Unbelievable Glamping & Hotel in Germany: Columbus Awaits!
Okay, buckle up folks, because we're about to dive headfirst into the 'Unbelievable Glamping & Hotel in Germany: Columbus Awaits!' experience. And trust me, after spending a few days there, "unbelievable" is a pretty good starting point. This ain’t your grandma’s B&B, people. It's a glorious, sometimes slightly chaotic, explosion of amenities and charm.
First Impressions (and the Great Wheelchair Accessibility Gambit)
Look, I’m not going to lie, the whole "wheelchair accessible" thing is HUGE for me. So, point number one, did Columbus Awaits! deliver? Mostly, yes! The elevators, bless them, are a lifesaver. The public areas? Pretty easy maneuvering. Now, the real test? The glamping tents themselves. They’re not all created equal, folks. Some are definitely more… accessible than others. I'll get into more detail later! But the fact that they actually tried is what matters. They've got this, the whole "Facilities for disabled guests" is pretty evident.
Internet, Internet Everywhere! (Mostly Good News)
Okay, so, Wi-Fi. Let’s be honest, we're all addicted. The good news is, Free Wi-Fi in all rooms! YES! Plus there’s Internet access – wireless and Internet access – LAN in the rooms – fantastic. And they have Wi-Fi in public areas. The connection was pretty solid, too, which is a HUGE relief for a digital nomad like myself. Internet services like printing and scanning were available, but the business center was a bit… underutilized during my stay. Not a dealbreaker, but good to know.
Cleanliness and Safety – Are We Actually Safe Here?
Okay, this is where Columbus Awaits! really shines. Post-pandemic, safety is a huge deal for me. And they nailed it. Anti-viral cleaning products were in use everywhere. You could smell the disinfectant, but in a good way! Not overwhelming. The Daily disinfection in common areas and the fact that they Rooms sanitized between stays provided real peace of mind. Plus, a doctor/nurse on call is a nice touch. They also have Hand sanitizer everywhere. It's the little things, you know? They even had Individually-wrapped food options at the breakfast buffet. And I absolutely loved the Cashless payment service. It really felt safe.
The Food – Oh, The Food! (And My Breakfast Buffet Blues)
Alright, let's talk food. This is where things get a little… complicated. The Breakfast [buffet] had a fantastic selection of options, including the Asian breakfast. But the buffet chaos. I loved the Breakfast takeaway service, because, honestly, after the initial "OMG, so many options!" excitement wore off, I needed to retreat to my tent and just chill with a croissant. The restaurants themselves include A la carte in restaurant, Asian cuisine in restaurant, Buffet in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant, Vegetarian restaurant, and Western cuisine in restaurant. I would have loved a Happy hour at the amazing Bar. This place delivered on Coffee/tea in restaurant, Desserts in restaurant, and Salad in restaurant.
Now, here’s a confession: I’m a bit of a breakfast snob. I’m talkin' poached eggs, proper coffee, the works. The buffet tried. There were some hits (the pastries were divine!) and some misses (the scrambled eggs… well, let’s just say they weren’t the star of the show). But the fact that they catered to so many different tastes, and actually had Breakfast in room, which was a huge plus after a late night.
Things To Do (and My Near-Drowning Experience)
Okay, prepare for another story. Columbus Awaits! has an Outdoor venue for special events and a Indoor venue for special events which were pretty cool. There’s a Fitness center, a Pool with view, a Sauna, a Spa, and a Steamroom. I’m a big fan of the Swimming pool [outdoor]. But… the swimming pool? Let’s just say I nearly drowned trying to grab a pool noodle. I am a terrible swimmer. But the pool was gorgeous, and the view… breathtaking. It's all part of the adventure.
The Spa/sauna, though? Pure bliss. And the Massage was phenomenal. They have Body scrub and Body wrap which is cool, but not my cup of tea.

Cambodia's Palace Resort & Spa: Your Royal Getaway Awaits!
Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sterile, perfectly-planned travel itinerary. This is going to be a diary of how I survived, maybe even thrived, at Hotel Columbus und Glamping Germany. And trust me, surviving is the operative word.
Day 1: Arrival & Utter Panic (or, "Where's My Charger?!")
- Morning: Ugh, the airport. Let's just say my attempt at looking "effortlessly chic" lasted approximately 12 seconds before I tripped over a suitcase. Note to self: Invest in better shoes. Finally made it here! I'd envisioned a breezy arrival, maybe a gentle breeze ruffling my hair as an Uber whisked me away. Instead, I arrived with a sweaty brow, a crushing fear of losing my passport, and the immediate realization that my phone was at 3%. PANIC. Where's my charger?! Did I pack my charger?! This is going to be a disaster.
- Afternoon: Check-in at Hotel Columbus. Nice enough outside, but the lobby looks a touch… dated. Like, "early 90's Austrian hotel that time forgot" dated. But hey, they have a functioning elevator (praise the travel gods), and the staff are surprisingly friendly despite my initial "charger-less-panic" demeaner.
- Late Afternoon: Okay, room. It's…clean. And the view… well, it's of the parking lot. That's ok. Found a working power outlet, so the technology panic is subsiding. Unpack, find a decent-looking restaurant near the hotel to regroup. This is going to be ok!
- Evening: Found a restaurant. "Brauerei Zum Hirsch" was recommended by the front desk and it turned out to be a godsend. Had the schnitzel. And the beer. Ooh, the beer. My German is… well, let's just say it's improving with every stein. I tried ordering a second one, and the waiter just understood. True connection. This is what travel is about: genuine human understanding. The food was good, but honestly, the beer made it exceptional. This needs to be a daily ritual.
Day 2: Glamping vs. The Elements (and My Sanity)
- Morning: Today's the day! I'm moving into the Glamping area. I was expecting some kind of woodland "glamorous camping". I was picturing a yurt, maybe a comfy bed with a feather duvet, and maybe a roaring fire (all safely managed, of course). Upon arrival… well, it was a tent. A big tent, but still, a tent. And the weather forecast? Rain. Lots of it.
- Late Morning: Okay, the tent assembly instructions are in German. Naturally. I fumble through it, using a combination of Google Translate, sheer guesswork, and a growing sense of existential dread. Eventually, manage to (kinda) assemble it. My inner MacGyver is slightly pleased. I'm a survivor!
- Afternoon: The rain has begun. It's gentle at first, then it picks up. I'm huddled in my glamping tent. This isn't glamorous. This is more… camping-adjacent. It's wet. I'm starting to question all my life choices. Should I have just stayed in the hotel? Why did I think glamping in Germany in October was a good idea? Then, an adorable little squirrel appears at the tent opening, gives me a look, and darts away. Okay, ok, it's not that bad!
- Evening: Somehow, I survived. The tent is mostly waterproof. The provided camping gear (a tiny stove, a camping pot and pan, and a cute little camping stool) is functional. I managed to make instant noodles for dinner. I burned them slightly. The squirrel didn't return. But still, I look at the rain outside and I feel proud. I survived.
Day 3: The Hike That Almost Broke Me (Literally)
- Morning: Today, the plan calls for a hike in the Black Forest. The brochure shows postcard-perfect scenery. I, on the other hand, am still stiff from assembling the tent and eating burnt noodles. But the lure of the forest is strong. So, I went.
- Late Morning: The hike starts out great! Sunshine! Birdsong! The air smells like pine. And then… uphill. And uphill. And more uphill. And not the gentle, rolling hills of the brochure. This was practically vertical. I was breathing like a dog. My thighs were screaming. I cursed the person who invented hiking. And then, at the summit, I saw it. The view. It was breathtaking. Absolutely stunning. Suddenly, the pain was worth it.
- Afternoon: Descending was no picnic either. Especially with my left knee screaming. I took a wrong turn and ended up bushwhacking through spiky things. More cursing. Back at the hotel, I had a very long hot shower.
- Evening: Soaked my aching limbs in a hot tub the hotel had. I treated the evening to a big meal and ice cream.
Day 4: Culture Shock and Culinary Delights
- Morning: Today's tour of a local village. I was expecting quaint, charming, and maybe a bit boring. I was wrong! The history! The architecture! I was also expecting to understand German. That expectation was quickly dashed.
- Afternoon: The food market in the old town square. The best part! I tried a sausage I couldn't pronounce. I have no idea what was in it, but it was glorious. The people watching was incredible.
- Evening: I have a renewed appreciation for German food. And beer. I'm contemplating moving here. Well, no. But I'll take a second schnitzel and a third beer.
- Night: Contemplate life. Reflecting on everything. The challenges. The beauty. The simple joy of a good meal. I think I'm starting to feel like I belong here.
Day 5: The Sad Farewell
- Morning: Packing is always a bittersweet experience. Part of me is excited to go home, back to familiar comforts. The rest of me is sad to leave. I've gotten used to the slow pace of life here. The friendly people. The beer. The food.
- Late Morning: Check out of Hotel Columbus. Hug the staff goodbye (okay, maybe a handshake. My German is not that good).
- Afternoon: Airport. Finding my flight. Wishing I have more time. Wishing I'd learned more German. Wishing I didn't almost trip over my suitcase again.
- Evening: Back home. Jetlagged. Exhausted. But filled with memories. And already dreaming of my next adventure. Because despite the charger drama, the rain, and the near-death experience on the hike, this was an amazing trip. Absolutely worth every single moment. Maybe I'll even try glamping again. But maybe with a better tent. And, a slightly better understanding of German instructions. And definitely more beer.
Okay, so… Unbelievable Glamping & Hotel in Germany? Columbus Awaits? Seriously? WHAT'S the deal?
Alright, buckle up, buttercup. "Unbelievable Glamping" is *exactly* what it sounds like: luxury camping. Think fancy tents, actual beds, real toilets (thank the heavens!), and amenities that make you feel like you’re, well, *not* camping. And "Columbus Awaits"? That's the theme, folks! They’re all about channeling that adventurous spirit, and, well… it’s a bit of a mixed bag, honestly. Some of it is *brilliant*. Some of it… let's just say it's got character. Prepare for a journey, both in the physical sense and in the roller coaster of emotions this place can stir.
Is the Glamping *really* glamping? I'm talking luxury, not just a nicer sleeping bag.
Oh, it's glamping, alright. But… and there's a *but* here. The tents are genuinely impressive. I mean, the photos online? Pretty accurate. Think gorgeous canvas behemoths with proper beds (hallelujah!), sometimes even with little fireplaces or wood-burning stoves. You get real furniture, decent lighting, and generally, a level of comfort that's utterly seductive after a day of hiking. Now, *here's* the kicker. Remember that mixed bag I mentioned? The level of luxury *within* those tents can vary wildly. Some are pure magic, others… well, let's just say the decor choices sometimes raise more questions than answers. One time, I swear, I walked into a tent that looked like a slightly tipsy pirate ship had vomited furniture. But, hey, that’s part of the charm, right? Sort of. Mostly. Kinda.
Tell me about the food. Because, let's be honest, camping food is usually… a culinary tragedy.
The food! Oh, the food. This is where things get *really* interesting. They've got a restaurant, and it's… okay. Honestly, it's a bit hit or miss. One night, you'll get a meal that makes you weep with joy (I’m talking locally sourced ingredients, cooked to perfection, the works!). The next night? Well, let's just say my stomach and I had a *discussion* about whether we should risk the mystery meat stew. The breakfasts are generally pretty solid, though. Lots of fresh bread, cheeses, meats, and the coffee is usually drinkable. My advice? Manage your expectations. Bring snacks. Embrace the mystery! And *always* check the reviews beforehand to see what the current "dish du jour" situation is looking like. You'll thank me later.
I'm a city slicker. Will I survive the "outdoorsy" aspect?
Look, I'm a city slicker too! And I survived. Barely. The "outdoorsy" element is… present. You're in nature, so expect bugs, the occasional spider (shudder), and the sounds of the forest at night. It's not brutal, mind you. It's more *glamping* than hardcore survivalist stuff. They have proper bathrooms and showers. But embrace the fact that you're not in a sterile hotel room. And, you know, bring bug spray. Seriously. I forgot it once, and let's just say the mosquitoes had a *field day* with my ankles. It wasn't pretty. Learn from my mistakes, people!
What's the best part about Columbus Awaits? What's the worst? Spill the tea!
Okay, spilling the tea... The *best* part? When it's good, it's *amazing*. The sense of escape, the unique experience, the sheer novelty of it all… it's really something. Imagine waking up surrounded by nature, sipping coffee on your little porch, feeling completely disconnected from the everyday grind. And at night, on a clear night, the stars are *unbelievable*. The *worst* part? The inconsistency. The service can be a bit, shall we say, *variable*. Sometimes you'll get a perfectly smooth experience; other times, you'll feel like you're navigating a minefield of slightly quirky staff and unexpected hiccups. Don't expect perfection. Embrace the chaos. And, for the love of all that is holy, pack extra toilet paper. Just in case.
Is this place kid-friendly? Asking for... well, myself, actually.
Yes and no. It *can* be kid-friendly. There are often activities geared towards families, and the whole "adventure" theme is appealing to kids. However, some of the tents are a bit… fragile. And the grounds aren't exactly designed for tiny, unsupervised explorers. Also, the food, as we discussed, can be hit or miss for picky eaters. My advice? If you're going with kids, do your research carefully. Check what activities are being offered during your visit. And maybe pack some emergency snacks. And prepare for a lot of "Are we there yet?" moments, potentially.
I'm intrigued by the "Columbus" theme. Is it… subtle? Or am I going to be drowning in nautical nonsense?
Oh, it's *not* subtle. Prepare for a full-blown nautical immersion. You will see anchors, maps, and vaguely historical references to what *was* in the area. Think slightly cheesy but enthusiastic. It's part of the charm, I guess? It can be a bit much at times. I once had a waiter try to explain the significance of a particular type of knot on the napkin. He was really passionate about it. Bless him. But you'll get used to it. Just go with the flow. Embrace the voyage! And maybe brush up on your basic nautical terminology beforehand. You know, just in case.
Okay, fine, I'm considering it. But is it *worth* the money? Because let's be honest, glamping ain't cheap.
Here's the big question, the one that keeps me up at night. Is it worth it? Ugh… sometimes, *yes*. Other times, I’m left questioning everything. The price is definitely on the higher end, especially considering the occasional… inconsistencies. But when everything clicks – the perfect tent, the amazing meal, the stunning scenery – it's an unforgettable experience. It's about the *experience*, not necessarily the flawless execution. If you’re looking for pure, unadulterated luxury, you might want to explore other options. If you're up for something truly unique, quirky, and a little bit… unpredictable, then yeah, give it a shot. Just go in with your eyes wide open, your expectations tempered, and your sense of humor fully charged. And maybe bring a travel-sized bottle of sanity. You'll need it. I know I did.
