Guest house "Insel"

Gästehaus Insel (Gästehaus Insel)

In the guesthouse "Insel" we offer guests of all ages friendly furnished double and multi-bed rooms with their own shower and toilet, four barrier-free designed rooms and two apartments.

We are centrally located on the edge of the historic old town of Waiblingen and are therefore an ideal starting point for leisure activities or cultural pleasure.

We run the guesthouse as a training company and thus offer young people a well-founded and practical entry into the professional world.

We are looking forward to your visit.
