The staff made us feel right at home. Dinner was delicious. The breakfast buffet was amazing. Rooms are small-ish but have everything you need to wake up refreshed and ready for your next adventure. Located right on the Rennsteig hiking trail.

Uncomfortable mattresses in beautiful surroundings
The surroundings were beautiful. Rooms were very spacious and price reasonable. We did not have a meal there however, so can't comment on that. But the worst hotel mattresses ever! Old and smelled old. Very dated decor.

Tolle Lage aber mit luft nach oben
Das Hotel hat eine geniale Lage. Umgeben von Wald absolut ruhig und idyllisch gelegen Das Essen im Restaurant sehr lecker und die Menschen die dort arbeiten waren extrem freundlich. Das Zimmer war winzig klein. Das Bad hat eine Größe, in dem man nicht umfallen kann. Und war zudem auch nicht wirklich sauber. Es lagen noch sehr viele verschiedene Haare vom Vorgänger auf dem Boden. Die Betten war top. Habe sehr gut darauf geschlafen. Werde ich wiederkommen? Vielleicht.

Nostalgisches Armee-Gebäude als Hotel
Der Armee-Gebäude-Komplex der im Areal befindlichen Bunkeranlage wurde als Hotel umfunktioniert. Entspechend nostalgisch ist die Ausstattung. Das Personal war sehr freundlich. Die Ausstattung des Zimmers eher rustikal, was aber zur Beschreibung passt. Das Zimmer war sauber. Das Frühstücksbuffet war auch eher einfach gehalten. Wir waren nur eine Nacht, dafür war es OK.
