"A delightful hotel! I wish I had had the time to stay longer. The property is beautifully maintained, the staff extremely friendly, my room was impeccably clean, comfortable and extremely quiet, with a breathtaking the view of the iconic Wartburg castle (be sure to request a room facing it). Breakfast was sumptuous and the attendant most courteous and friendly. It’s an attractive old building with charm and atmosphere, and ideal for visiting the Wartburg which can easily be reached by a 20 minute walk through lovely woods. Prices are very reasonable.
