Hotel Josten  

In Nettetal, tucked into the Maas‑Schwalm‑Nette Nature Park and just about 5 miles from the Dutch border. This 4-star hotel is a compact base for hiking and cycling, with Sequoiafarm, Golf Club Haus Bey, Schloss Neersen and Koenig Palast all close by.

Rooms were modernized in May 2016 and feel fresh and simple — think box‑spring beds, flat‑screen TVs, rain showers, minibars/refrigerators and bathrobes. Décor leans warm and approachable, with a summer terrace for al fresco meals. Pets are welcome and an elevator makes access easy.

Daily varied breakfast buffet and an à la carte restaurant serving dishes made from regional ingredients. Bar on site and terrace seating in summer. Services include room service, a small convenience shop, car rental and a safe‑deposit box. Free on‑site parking for guests.

Free Wi‑Fi throughout the rooms and public areas and complimentary guest parking make short business stays simple and efficient.

Start with a hearty buffet breakfast each morning. The hotel restaurant focuses on fresh, regional cuisine and opens onto a terrace in warmer months. A hotel bar rounds out low‑key evening options.
