AHORN Hotel Am Fichtelberg 

Really impressed with the value and quality, lots of great touches and friendly staff. We booked a classic room for us and our toddling daughter with half board, which was only 19 euros extra when the room cost 89 euros. The food is buffet style with huge choice from healthy, fresh salads, to hearty pasta or roasted meats. There's something for everyone. It's a HUGE hotel, so it gets busy around 7pm, but for the amount of people, they cater well. They also had a buffet just for children with sliced fuit and veg amongst other things. I was impressed by the amount of things for a family to do. There's two different play rooms for small children and then an-adventure-style area for the bigger ones. The pool is a good standard (10x20m) and accessible by a glass walkway. There is a Wii lounge for the gamers, pool tables, children's cinema and they make good use of the space the hotel offers. The hotel is up the side of the mountain so you ski straight out onto the piste and the hotel runs a ski huette for an apre-ski drink straight off the slopes. There is a ski hire place in the hotel, but be warned, it's not cheep (we paid nearly 100 euros for the three of us for a day and a half). There is a good ski school at the bottom of the slope right next to the hotel. For a family ski trip from Berlin, it's a three hour drive and it's all very convenient. It's a former East German hotel and a bit worn, but given the amount of business they do, it's very well done.
