Josefshof and your Stay
All lights in the hotel are equipped with energy-saving LEDs to keep electricity consumption as low as possible.
Electricity in the rooms is only activated when the room card is inserted.
To conserve water, we have installed water-saving showerheads and faucets.
We avoid single-use plastic whenever possible and replace it with alternative materials.
Guests can opt out of room cleaning and, in return, receive a complimentary drink at our hotel bar.
Towels are only changed upon guests' explicit request.
For cleaning hotel rooms and public areas, we use environmentally friendly cleaning products.
Our hotel linens are certified according to ÖKO-Tex standards.
Josefshof and your Food
We are committed to sustainability in all areas of our hotel and use our resources mindfully. We source our products primarily from regional suppliers and prioritize organic products. This approach supports the local economy while minimizing our ecological footprint.
We offer a variety of options to meet our guests' dietary needs, including gluten-free, lactose-free, and vegan alternatives to our standard products.
To prevent food waste, we have implemented measures that promote responsible use of food. Leftovers are minimized, and we strive to prepare meals only in necessary quantities.
Another key project is reducing single-use plastic. Whenever possible, we use reusable containers and recyclable materials, and we provide guests with glass bottles and refill stations.
