“The perfect relaxing break”

After a gap of 6 years we weren't sure that the hotel would be as lovely as we remembered...but it was. Comfort and quality are a priority everywhere, and rooms are well equipped; ours was at the back overlooking the garden, and was calm as a result. Breakfast and evening meals are generous and delicious, and the restaurant and bar staff always smiling and willing to go the extra mile. The location right in the centre of town is excellent, and there are suggestions in the daily bulletin for walks and places to visit during your stay; the nearest steam railway station is just 10 minutes' walk away, the castle a more challenging climb (or a cheat's ride)...if you can drag yourselves away from the main square and the hotel, that is.

Excellent hotel ideally located on the central market square, of which we had great views from our spacious junior suite (it can be a bit noisy when they are setting things up outside early morning). Breakfasts are fabulous, with a particularly good selection of mueslis and cheeses, and a large slab of creamy butter tabled each morning. Coffee arrives instantly at your table, and service is speedy and efficient. We dined twice in the hotel's restaurant in the evening, and found it to be high quality, with interesting local produce (pott-suss was really tasty) and, slightly surprisingly, very good German red wine. Barman Andy was one of the best we've encountered - fast, lively and friendly, with a good menory for previous choices, and the ability to produce great cocktails, whether on the menu or not. Most of the staff spoke good English, which took the stress away from relying on my schoolboy German. Only criticism is that we'd have appreciated a bit of help getting our luggage to our room , as it was a long way from reception and involved corridor steps (though there is a lift fortunately). Wernigerode is a good base for the Harz region: we managed to ascend der Brocken (one of us actually walking!), rode the Brockenbahn and the Bimmelbahn, and took a trouble-free bus ride to Quedlinburg, a World Heritage site which is well worth a visit.

“Fantastic hotel”

The hotel is located in the middle of the town by the main square The hotel is beautiful from outside and inside The room is big and there is aircondition The staff is very cooperative and helpful The breakfast is rich and tasty Parking is behind the hotel

“Top rating ruined by broken air conditioning and minibar fridge.”

Location good friendly staff nice and clean, but Air condition couldn't cool down the room, 25 c all the time. Minibar fridge couldn't cool either. We changed room but same problems in second room. That ruined a otherwise nice stay. Expensive according to standard.
