Enjoying a road-trip though Germany we stayed in Hotel Drei Kronen in Frauenwald for three days. We really liked the place. The room was of a good size with a comfortable bathroom and spotless (as one would expect in Germany). …

+I. did like the friendliness from the staff at the hotel. The breakfast was good and generous opening times, also on weekdays. We were visiting the Oberhof Biathlon and this was perfect, just a 20 minute drive..

Excellent guesthouse with warm, friendly and helpful staff.The room I stayed in (#15) was a spacious and clean en-suite...with a couch, a desk and large flat screen TV. The breakfast buffet was more than adequate. In addition, the location of the guest house was perfect for hiking in the forested hills. The only draw back was only one of the hotel staff spoke fluent English...however, even with my virtually non-existent German skills this was not a problem.

It was a spontaneous, beautiful and impressive short break in this hotel 3 Kronen. Nice room with everything you need. Breakfast very good 👍 👍 👍 with home-made Thuringian sausage mmmh. In the evening you could enjoy Thuringian cuisine in the restaurant with the friendly landlord and the waitress. We would have liked to stay. But we will definitely come back.
