Hotel overview

Housed in a former farmhouse dating back to 1850, this unassuming inn near Emden combines traditional German hospitality with basic, comfortable accommodations. Guests will find simple rooms that prioritize functionality over luxury, paired with the charm of a rustic setting.

The on-site restaurant focuses on classic German dishes, notably freshwater fish specialties, served in a relaxed atmosphere that includes a cozy beer garden for outdoor dining. Many travelers appreciate the complimentary breakfast, which offers a good start for the day without extra cost.

Conveniently positioned just a few kilometers from Emden's cultural highlights like the Ostfriesisches Landesmuseum, it provides a peaceful base removed from city bustle yet accessible by car or bike. The friendly staff frequently receive praise for attentive service, while the pet-friendly policy makes it attractive to animal owners.

While some guests note that rooms are basic and wifi can be inconsistent, the overall atmosphere is warm and welcoming, especially for those seeking an authentic and budget-conscious stay with family or pets.

“Wir waren zwei Wochen kurz vor Emden im Urlaub. Der Gulfhof lag ca. 5 Geh-Minuten von unserer Ferienunterkunft entfernt. Somit hat es uns viermal dorthin verschlagen. Beim ersten Besuch hatte ich die Fischplatte. Ich persönlich war nicht begeistert. Mehr Panade als Fisch. Lag jedoch auch an der Auswahl der Fische, welche generell nicht viel auf den Gräten hatten . Die Kartoffeln waren sehr lecker und der Beilagensalat auch. Beim zweiten Besuch habe ich es mit einem Zigeunerschnitzel versucht. Sehr lecker. Die Pommes ebenfalls sehr lecker. Der dritte Besuch war dann wieder Fisch angesagt. Diesmal Scholle...der Fisch hatte etwas mehr "Fleisch" zu bieten und war lecker. Ubdzu guter Letzt gab es ein Jägerschnitzel. Auch dies sehr lecker. Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis stimmt für mich hier absolut und auch die Damen, welche dort den Service wuppen, sind durchweg sehr freundlich. Das Ambiente ist schlicht aber es hat einfach etwas, da es ja in einer alten Scheune liegt. Der Biergarten ist gemütlich. Der Gulfhof liegt etwas abgelegen von Emden in Widdelswehr oder gehört es schon zu Pektum? Da bin ich gerade überfragt. Mit dem Auto oder dem Rad, je nachdem von wo man kommt gut zu erreichen und vorne an der Straße gibt es eine Bushaltestelle. Wenn es hoch kommt, sind es von dort ca. 100 Meter zum laufen. Nun genug geschrieben. Mein Fazit: Den Gulfhof kann ich in Bezug auf Essen und Service wirklich empfehlen. Man beachte jedoch, dass Geschmäcker und das Wohlbefinden immer ein persönliches Empfinden darstellt. Wir waren rundum zufrieden”

“Das Hotel hat mich rundum begeistert und ich kann meinen Aufenthalt dort nur wärmstens empfehlen. Die Zimmer und alle Bereiche des Hotels waren sauber und gepflegt, was für mich ein sehr wichtiger Faktor ist. Das Essen war wirklich ein Highlight – von der Auswahl bis zur Zubereitung hat alles hervorragend geschmeckt und die Qualität der Speisen war durchweg hoch. Die Portionen waren reichlich. Besonders beeindruckt hat mich auch das Personal: Alle Mitarbeiter waren sehr freundlich, aufmerksam und stets hilfsbereit, wodurch man sich sofort willkommen und gut betreut gefühlt hat. Insgesamt war es ein sehr angenehmer und entspannter Aufenthalt, bei dem wirklich alles gestimmt hat. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team für die tolle Erfahrung!”

“Staff friendly. Pets very welcome (from small to big). Room clean. Restaurant: the meat is a real treat. I left a day early because I was warned that my cat had separation anxiety. I won't do it again because the day before my departure there were riots all over France. It would been better to ask to stay another week. I left the hotel scared to death. It's to say that we never known what life has in store for us. It's better to give yourself every chance to extend your stay. The next time I will come with my cat. I apologize (belatedly) to the owner and staff for the inconvenience. You have all been great.”
