The rooms are very old and not particularly clean. Room service is only available upon request. The breakfast is mediocre. There are only six parking spaces that are free and unfortunately they were always full. You could use a parking garage, but that costs €6 per night.

A place well worth seeing with a great history surrounding the Goethe family; Charlotte; Werther's suffering. The whole old town is clean and very well maintained.It's a pleasure to visit the many small shops.The hotel offers travel groups a real home. The breakfast and evening buffets at the Wetzlarer Hof are in a class of their own.At 50 cents per trip, the city buses are really inexpensive, especially for older people and guests with walking difficulties.You should definitely take a look at the market square with the music school and the huge cathedral. There are many small places to stop for refreshments such as cafes etc. and a view over the Lahn valley and the Lahn itself is also very niceA w

The ravages of time are slowly wearing away at the rooms. The bar hasn't been in operation for a long time, and there's obviously no dinner anymore either... It's a shame. Otherwise still a relative. attractive hotel with a good location.

The hotel's location is fantastic, just a short walk from the center of Wetzlar. The room was exceptionally clean, and the service was warm and accommodating. The breakfast was excellent, and the balcony provided a lovely view. I would definitely love to return to this hotel.

The location is very central.So, the towels and bed linen were clean.But that was it for the positive.The trash can had not been emptied by the previous visitor.The carpet, windows in the room and also the windows on the facade were extremely dirty, as were cobwebs.The lighting is clearly defective.A large corner was missing from the mirror in the bathroom.The hairdryer probably hadn't been cleaned in months.Overall, a basic renovation would be necessary.I haven't been to the Hotel Wetztlarer Hof for a very long time, but my experience was completely different in the past.My question is, what does the operator do to make it cleaner?It would be really great if the hotel could return to star level. We wouldn't want to go there anymore.

Renovation wouldn't hurt, the room door was stuck and the paint on the door frames was already peeling off. Limited parking spaces available.Cleanliness was okay, breakfast was good.

The hotel is already getting a bit old. We still felt very comfortable. The employees were all very friendly. Breakfast is a buffet. There is something for everyone.
