Nice hostel with good breakfast. Good starting point for a hike to the Wartburg.

A very nicely converted building. The rooms including bathrooms make a modern and high-quality impression. The windows are relatively well insulated, so street noise is hardly noticeable. Free WiFi is available.I find the parking fees a little steep. I highly recommend converting your parking ticket into a hotel ticket.The only point of criticism is the breakfast that can be booked. There is enough of everything there, but I personally think €12.50 is too expensive.Otherwise the house is recommended 👍🏻👍🏻

We took the holiday apartment, which is in another building, almost next to the large parking lot.The holiday apartment is designed for 6 people and is very good in size, but we have to make the following deductions.MINUS:- WiFi is poor or non-existent (we had very poor reception, when the roof was open and we stood directly at the window, we had some reception).- NEIGHBORS (below the apartment) complained personally at the door that we were trampling around the apartment too loudly and that the dishes were falling on their heads.- REFRIGERATOR no freezer compartment.- PARKING not included (9Euro per DAY)- KITCHEN no basic equipment available neither microwave nor dishwasher (the sieve cleaned)PLUS- Proximity to the city- Size of the apartment

Well, it's really just a hostel or simple accommodation. Location to the city center is very good, but the rooms facing the street do not allow you to sleep with the window open. Large parking lot (€9 per night) right next door. Overall very impersonal: there is a machine for check-in and poor signage to the rooms. We only saw employees at breakfast, which was solid. The rooms are modern and renovated, the bathroom and shower are large. It's amazing how narrow the sink was chosen in comparison. Everything is very spartan: a single, small shelf in the bathroom (under the sink), only hooks on the wardrobe for jackets and utensils. No practical amenities such as water glasses. So you have to be aware that accommodation here is very basic - I found the price of over €100 per night to be too high.

Clean but not very quiet place. Check-in should be fast but the check-in machine didn't work, so we had to call the owner after more than an hour of trying to get it to work. The owner only and exclusively speaks German!!! Not a word of English.The kitchen is well equipped, and the rooms are clean. The street next to the hostel is busy, and noisy!!Clean but not very quiet place. Checking in should have been fast, but somehow the machine only works normally sometimesAfter more than an hour of arguing, we called the owner, who only and exclusively speaks German!!! Not a word in English. Fortunately, another resident helped us with the translation.The kitchen was fully equipped and the room was clean and tidy. The road next to the accommodation is quite busy and unfortunately it can be heard in the rooms even through the closed window.

Nice, clean and modern rooms. Nice staff at breakfast, which would have to be bought separately. This breakfast offers a solid selection. They were beautiful days there.

We spent a weekend here as a group of 17 people. Reservation via email was flawless as well as subsequent phone calls regarding room selection. Ms. Markus was very helpful and patient. The rooms were clean and modernly furnished. Breakfast buffet had everything you need for a good breakfast. The central location and the price are unbeatable! Thanks so much.

Checking in at the machine was a bit impersonal, but at least you weren't dependent on opening times. The rooms are modern and were also clean. Some towel racks and hooks would be nice in the bathroom, and a stool for small children would also be nice. Signage (something like “rooms 1-9 here”) in the hallway would be good. There is an equipped kitchen, but unfortunately only 2 chairs, no common room. That would be nice for a hostel. The breakfast room is closed outside reception hours. We didn't find out when these are (apparently only at breakfast). If it's dry, you can sit outside. There is also a drinks machine (although it ate my change), parking directly at the hotel currently costs €9 per day, which is ok. Breakfast buffet currently costs €12.50, but unfortunately with baked rolls - but the coffee was good.

Simple, clean and efficient.No real negative points. The accommodation corresponds well to the category displayed and the price.Parking is located outside and easy to access. The price of €9 per day is not exaggerated. Above all, it is a good starting point for visiting Eisenach.

Everything was very good and it would have been perfect if something from Thuringian sausage (liverwurst, Knackwurst,...) had been served for breakfast.

We spent one night in this hostel and were completely satisfied. We slept in a four-bed room with three people for €66. Everything was clean and completely in line with the price/performance ratio. The hostel kitchen, which is available for free use, is great for preparing small things and storing things in the fridge.The city center can be reached on foot.The breakfast, which we easily booked in the morning, was small but fresh and was always topped up.We had a great short stay here and would love to come back.

We stayed here for a few days. The room is very nice, but some things in the room (e.g. the wobbly plastic shower holders) are made of cheap materials and somehow don't fit the room. The breakfast was horrible. Cheap baked rolls, honey from the metro and some expired food was put on the buffet table (on 2 days in a row). Check-in was done through a machine and there was no employee on site to answer questions. That was a real shame. I would choose a different hotel next time I stay in Eisenach.

We stayed 2 nights with 2 children in a family room. Unfortunately this wasn't cleaned properly before we arrived - there were candy wrappers and a plastic container under the bed. The shower head holder was very cheap and did not allow the head to be adjusted in height. Otherwise the room was very nice.Contactless check-in may have advantages, we would have liked a contact person on site and cash payment, so it was very impersonal.We found the breakfast very simple. Baked rolls. Liver sausage had expired and was removed on the 2nd day following our advice. The staff seemed rather disinterested.Otherwise it's an ideal location and you don't hear anything from the busy street.
