My wife and I stayed at The Kaiserhof Hotel in Eisenach Aug, 13, 2013. Very Clean and kept up, has…read morea friendly staff and some spoke English which is not as common in the former East Germany (DDR). The manager got out a map and pointed out all of the places that were on our list to see.
Eisenach is the home of the Wartburg Castle, where Martin Luther translated the Bible from Latin into vernacular German, thus precipitating the reformation. It's a 1.1 mile walk up a steep but wooded walking trail. Wartburg was also the home of Saint Elizabeth of Hungary.
The Hotel was built in 1897 but it has been brought up to modern standards and plumbing and is very nice. Has an elevator, maybe the best restaurant in town, free WiFi (for one device) and a little bar in the large Hotel lobby. Very reasonable pricing, actually cheap for Germany, at 110.00 Euro for a large room, queen bed, with a bathroom (shower) and couch, table and chair and a desk. The closet is an Armoire. Breakfast is included with a buffet of coffee, juices, eggs, sausage slices, fruit and breads in a large room with white table clothes. Parking is an inclosed area off the street behind the hotel with a locked bicycle storage room. It's within walking distance from the train station, 150 yards.
The Restaurant, which will charge to your room, is "Der Zwinger". White linen tables set with wine glasses and a flower. We had: 2 cocktails, lamb filet, rinderroulade (Beef rolled around a saucy middle) two glasses of wine, one desert and two .5L Asbach Uralt Beer. All excellent and all for 58.10 euro.
