Right away we felt welcome. The atmosphere was cozy and friendly. Our room had a great view. We got a room all the way up at the top floor, so no elevator for us, but that did not affect us at all. …

We had a terrible stay at another hotel so I looked at Trip Advisor looking for hotels near Wartburg Castle and this hotel had a lovely set of reviews. The reviews were accurate!  …

This hotel is situated out of town on a quit mountain road. There were only 7 other guests when we stayed here. The staff could not have been friendlier. We paid a ridiculously low amount for our stay in this fabulous hotel. Breakfast and dinner were of a very high standard.

I knew the house when it was still a SED rest home. I went there >10 times as a child. Everything looks tighter and smaller now. Reception was occupied, but unfortunately the house was completely locked. Restaurant only for hotel guests, no longer a public restaurant. Probably because of problems with recruiting. It's just a little out of the way. But definitely suitable for hikes and holidays in nature with children.

Chic hotel in old German style. The location of the hotel is absolutely ideal as a starting point for hiking.The rooms are simple but absolutely clean and sufficient. From the balcony you are directly in nature with a chic view. Recommendation !

Hotel is fine. Everything seems a little old, but the rooms and everything around them are well maintained and clean. Sometimes the reception was a bit unfriendly, but we are all human and maybe have a bad day. So all in all I would say it is a good choice for a hotel.
