We stayed here for 3 nights in May of 2018 and were quite pleased with the experience. We especially appreciate the central location in Weimar, right on the Frauenplan and, as the name promises, within mere steps of the Goethehaus. It's an easy walk to all of the important traditional sights in classic Weimar. If you're into 3-star German hotels, as we are (super combination of price, very nice rooms, and efficient professional staff), you would do well to consider Hotel am Goethehaus.
The only limitations of the hotel that might matter to some readers are 1) it does not have a lift, which would matter to persons averse to stairs (as many as 3 flights), and 2) the hotel lacks a restaurant. However, there are several very nice places within mere yards of the front door. Also, 3) hotel-owned parking, while available, is limited. This of course is a real consideration in a city - though a public underground garage is within easy walking distance. It is for these reasons alone that I'm giving this a 4-star yelp rating instead of 5-star -- I do so out of consideration for the opinion of other travelers for whom considerations regarding stairs and parking are of more importance than they are to me. To me the difference is inconsequential - this is a fine establishment.
Before ending, I would like in particular to call attention to the wonderful help rendered by Herr Rauch in resolving a mix-up in our reservations -- which was our fault, not that of the hotel. Despite our needing to communicate in a mixture of his limited English and my less-than perfect German, and in spite of the fact that we arrived over the busy Pfingsten holiday, Herr Rauch managed to arrange accommodation for us in the hotel's Ferienwohnung and made other helpful arrangements for us, which saved that portion of our Germany vacation. Hats off (and 5 stars) to Herr Rauch!
For all the reasons stated above, I would definitely stay in this same hotel if I'm ever again in Weimar. read more
