Staff didn’t speak proper English, interior feels dated. Parking facilities are poor.

The history, views, and location

Stayed in March 2022

Dinner was pricey and not up to the standard of the hotel (both service and food). Generally quite expensive.

Stunning location directly in Wartburg castle.

I wanted to have a room with badewanne and indicated it in booking. However, it was not there and the hotel simply ignored my request. Besides, hotel stuff does not speak English very well, so communication in German is much better (although, for 5 stars I would expect them all to be able to). Sport (gym) area is really small (only running facilities) and is on the ground floor. The library has only 3-4 shelves, so be aware.

Superb view from the restaurant and great food (I recommend to have a dinner there). They do have coffee without coffein, which is great. Quite night in the forest and good style for the room decoration. If you go for upper floor: pleasant view

Location is perfect - with brilliant views of the Thuringia forest. The atmosphere of living in a fort did not disappoint.

Parking was confusing and could have been spelled out a bit better on the web site. Out room didn’t have the full bathing soaps provided however it wasn’t an issue as we had our own on hand.

Great property. The location could not be beat. Right outside the castle. Beautiful views. The food was delicious and the restaurant staff was wonderful.

Service at restaurant too slow, reception staff not prepared on the surroundings, laundry service return was asked 3 times after one day delay and not even ironed properly. Wrong charge for a minibar, simply not a 5 star

Great landscape view

Wonderful location just next to the castle and with amazing views. Excellent restaurant on site (you need to book your meals in advance, I was a little late for that, but I was accommodated nicely). The parking is a little below the hill, but there is a shuttle buss to take you and your luggage up to the hotel. The hill is really steep, but that is a part of the charm of this location. You feel like you are on the top of the world! The staff was very helpful and warm. And there was a wonderful bathtub in my bathroom, a warm relaxing bath was just the thing after the long day.

We had dinner in the restaurant (Langgrafenstube) both nights of our stay. The restaurant is beautiful and the views are stunning. The food is nice, but not spectacularly so - had expected more of a 5-five star hotel.

The location is fabulous right next to the castle. It's right next door, and you can go there early in the morning and in the evening after the crowds have gone. Our room (junior suite) was fantastic on the 3rd floor under the roof. Really charming, stunning views on all sides, and a huge bathroom.
