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.

Super freundliches Personal, gutes Essen und sehr gut gelegen v.a. für Wanderer auf dem Rennsteig. Eine bessere Verdunkelungsmöglichkeit in den Zimmern fehlt für eine sehr gute Bewertung, leider leuchten einem ankommende Autos direkt ins Zimmer

Schöne Lage, gemütlicher und hübscher Gastraum, wir konnten uns am Kaminfeuer wärmen und in der Sauna von der Wanderung erholen. Wasserkocher, Tee und Kaffee auf dem Zimmer. Zimmer sind klein aber ausreichend, Betten sehr bequem.

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.
