    Thoroughly enjoyed my short stay in New Braunfels at the Prince Solms Inn. The room was beautiful and spacious and the bed was sooooooo comfortable I didn't want to get out of it the next day. The Inn itself is very quaint and within walking distance to the shops, restaurants, and live music. I will without a doubt stay here again.


    What a great place!

    The B&B's web site was very informative. It gave me a good idea of what to expect at the hotel as well as gave me information about local dining and attractions. The B&B staff was very friendly and helpful at check-in and at breakfast. The Inn location was very close to local dining and entertainment. I enjoyed learning about the history of the Inn prior to my arrival. I also enjoyed dining at the Inn and nearby restaurants during my stay.


    Can't say enough wonderful things about our stay!

    My stay at Prince Solms Inn B&B was great! Al, the inn-keeper, was very friendly. I stayed in "Sophi's Room", which I highly recommend. I was a little worried though when booking the room since the website states that noise from the downstairs piano bar that's in the basement does travel up to the room. However, the noise was hardly noticeable. The location is great as it is in walking distance to the town's shops and a short ride to the nearby town of Gruene. I recommend waking up to take advantage of the complimentary breakfast and if you have diet restrictions/needs, they are happy to work with you if you provide advance notice. I would also recommend going to the piano bar in the basement, even though it is not owned by the B&B. The music is relaxing, the art work is interesting, the waitresses are nice and friendly, and of course, the drinks are very reasonably priced. They do have a small menu for food, but the selections are good. Overall, I would stay at the Inn again.
