Minotel Berghotel Eisenach

Cons: Food: I can’t make this up!! The man who checked us in at the desk, was also our waiter, server, and probably cook. It was like I was watching a cartoon show. BEST PART? I ordered soup and a large dinner salad for my meal. He brought out a plate of risotto. I told him I didn’t order that, but I’d take it “no worries”. Our reservation was at 6:30pm and it was now 8:00 pm. We were starving! I tasted it and it was good, so I had my daughter, her husband and my husband all taste it because they were still waiting for their dinners. 2 minutes later the waiter comes back, snatches it away, walks out one door, thru another and serves it to another guest!!!! I can NOT make this up (in good conscience). Yuck!!! Then he brought me a salad that looked at least 1 day old. Ever bring home a salad from a restaurant with the dressing already on it? The lettuce was legitimately so limp and the cucumbers were see through from being dressed yesterday!! Of course I couldn’t eat it. We actually all said it may have been served to someone else and this was their leftovers!!! Room:said they had air conditioning. They do not. If THIS is air conditioning (maybe 72-74 degrees) stop saying you’re going to turn it on at the desk. Thats right. They control “when” it actually goes on. It’s been on for at least 2+ hours and it’s so stuffy it’s horrible. And this is a tiny room. Pros: pretty location if you like being way outside of any town. We had come from the city of Mainz where we loved walking around. Here it feels like The Shining.

Was here for an event plus overnight stay - nice, renovated, older hotel in a quiet dream location at the fraternity monument. Highlight: Terrace with unobstructed views of the Wartburg Castle in absolute silence. Excellent cuisine, rich breakfast - but with baked bread. Price level with 140€ for the night reasonable.

The hotel is a bit secluded but very nicely located. From the nice terrace you have a very nice view of the Wartburg. The fraternity monument is just a stone's throw away. Ice cream parking is available both on the feeder road and further down. For loading & unloading you can drive up. The reception was very objective and correct. In the house there are insanely many small stairs and steps. For the disabled I would absolutely not recommend this place. The room was very small. And here's the catch. Where do the four stars come from? No minibar, no safe. The bathroom urgently needs a renovation. Black mold and rising joints in the shower. Nor was the maid really attentive. One day I only got one towel (small, old and frayed). Then none at all the next day. I was then generously pressed into my hand. The garbage was not disposed of. What was really great is the terrace. Also the Ukrainian service staff, was very nice, attentive and personable. The food was reasonably priced and quite good. Overall, I would recommend this place only very limited.
