Just went back form a trip to Gera, former DDR (East Germany). Hotel Am Galgenberg still breaths the atmosphere of that time: large hotel, functional, no decoration, old fashioned. Location is some 10 minutes form center (by car). …

I had to stay there because of a car accident as it was near the highway. Hotel is a 30 min-walk uphill from city centre and from the train station. …

A bit dusty, the rooms including bathrooms should be renovated. A quiet room facing the courtyard was advertised. The smoking area is right there and you could listen to the conversations until late. You have to let the water run forever until it gets warm. The cleanliness in the bathroom left something to be desired, one indicator being the plug in the sink.I was only there one night, there won't be another one.

From the outside, the hotel looks like a block of flats with rental apartments. Inside it is quite nicely decorated. The rooms are rather small, but everything you need is there.The breakfast is buffet style and basically covers everything you would expect. The coffee is brought to the table in a vacuum jug and is plentiful.It takes about 15 minutes to walk to the city center, but it's not that fast going back uphill.In summer it would be good to have a fan in the room, it was like being in a sauna when we visited

I'm used to a lot of things and I'm not sensitive, but this hotel doesn't work at all. Old, unkempt and not clean. Mold and water stains in the room. There is another way to be cheap. Never again.

The hotel is located away from the city center. From the outside it looks like a residential building. There is no open reception to contact. The cleanliness is positive. …
