In a city that was not a highlight for me, this hotel is a real gem. The house has a great atmosphere, the staff was always friendly and helpful and I enjoyed the evening in the restaurant in the inner courtyard

Value for money.

Very spacious rooms, beds were a little on the firm side, but otherwise enough space and luckily no shared blankets, which was great (in Germany, separate blankets on double beds are very common). Large enough bathroom with storage for our bags and cosmetics. As a nice surprise, there was a full kitchen and fridge in the room. We were staying in one of the new buildings across the street that also had a lift. All drinks in the room were free, which included a larger variety of alcohol free drinks. Breakfast was great. Location is great in a quiet, leafy area of Suhl, but close to everything. Particularly noteworthy was the friendliness of the staff and the outstanding Thuringian cuisine restaurant that is part of the hotel. Booking is strongly advised as the restaurant is popular. It's one of few restaurants across Thuringia that has the quality seal of making the "original Thuringian dumplings", so try those, along with some deer, stag or wild boar. Hunting is a big thing in Thuringia, so deer and boar will be on every menu. My deer stew with wild mushrooms and Thuringian dumplings was outstanding and soft.

Room decor is still reminiscent of communist East Germany, but that was totally fine with us.

all good except dinner

dinner, bad meals

Fridge was not inside the room but in the nearby guest lounge, which was totally ok for us. The vacuuming could have been a bit better, as I found cat or dog hair on the carpet in the corners, but not a biggie.

Outstanding attention to detail, free water and other soft drinks, excellent breakfast buffet

The location is a bit off from the center and the train station.

The stuff are very nice. The rooms are clean. Perfect stay for solo traveler

Delicious breakfast and dinner

Everything was great

Beautiful historic hotel with a lovely garden. Very helpful and friendly staff. Excellent dinner at their restaurant. Very rich and delicious breakfast.

Very kind staff. Breakfast 10/10.

The hotel restaurant is, quite simply, the best German cuisine I’ve had in many years. The restaurant is very busy so I’d recommend booking a table. The breakfast on offer was also very good. Staff were helpful in booking taxis etc. for me to go into the town.

The only reason I haven’t given this place a 10 was there was very little hot water for a shower in the morning. I got perhaps 60 seconds before it ran out. I did mention it to reception and I was slightly annoyed as they were obviously appeared to be aware of the problem. First world problems I grant you, but it did sour the overall experience which was otherwise excellent.
