Hotel Rennschuh

Hotel Rennschuh is a family-run hotel in Göttingen, the Lower Saxony university city famous for its old Georg-August University and the Gänseliesel — the goose-girl fountain that graduating doctoral students traditionally kiss. It is a green, walkable city with a half-timbered old town and a lively student atmosphere. The hotel keeps a genuine wellness corner for its size: an indoor pool and a sauna, a relaxed way to round off a day of meetings or sightseeing. A restaurant and bar/lounge, comfortable rooms and a friendly, family-run style make it an easy-going base rather than a large chain hotel. Göttingen sits centrally in Germany, a useful stop on north–south rail and road routes, and the surrounding region — the Harz mountains, the Weser valley and the Leine countryside — opens up for day trips. The hotel suits business travellers, visitors to the university and couples exploring central Germany who appreciate a pool and sauna at the end of the day.
