"Eine der schönsten Tango-Locations mit einem hervorragenden Parkett und ganz lieben Gastgebern…"

"Die Toilettenanlage war selbst zu später Stunde noch sehr sauber und gepflegt. Die dezente Musik aus dem benachbarten Tanzbereich verlieh dem Raum eine angenehme Atmosphäre. Leider war eines der Pissoirs außer Betrieb, was bei größeren Veranstaltungen zu längeren Wartezeiten führen könnte. Die Farbgestaltung der Wände und des Bodens passte zwar gut zum restlichen Einrichtungsstil, traf aber nicht ganz meinen persönlichen Geschmack. Dies ist jedoch eine subjektive Einschätzung und fließt daher nicht in die Bewertung ein."

"Super hier. Eigentlich könnte man in diesen Räumen auch Harleys verkaufen oder aufstellen. Hat sowas von Fabrikhalle, zumindest der hintere Raum. Eine besondere Atmosphäre hier. Hier ein Bild kurz vor dem Auftritt von Lucky Guess aus Siegen. Schon viele schöne Abende hier verbracht. Bitte alles so lassen."

"Wunderschöner Ort, um Tango zu lernen und zu tanzen! Eva und Klaus sind die warmherzigsten Gastgeber, die ich kenne, die Gäste überwiegend offen und zugänglich. Wer urig übernachten möchte (und nicht geräuschempfindlich ist), schläft im Bahnwaggon vor Ort und bedient sich am reichhaltigen Frühstücksbuffet."
