Saxony-Anhalt Hotels

Super hotel,situated very conveniently right next to the railway station. Ideal if arriving by train or wanting to experience the Harzquerbahn, the narrow quage railway traversing the Harz mountain area. Its trains depart from platform 3. Our room at the hotel was very pleasant, of a good size as was the bathroom, containing an excellent easy to use shower. We noticed that here in the former Eastern Germany area very little english is spoken. This applied to the young man who served us in the restaurant in the evenings. However he was very friendly and helpful and we got by with just a few words and signs.

Perched above Braunlage, this hotel manages to feel removed from any rush and bustle yet remains convenient as a centre for touring the Harz area. This was our second stay, just a weekend overnight, whereas last time we spent a week here. On both occasions, the hotel has lived up to our expectations. The rooms are comfortable and quiet, the staff helpful and the catering is delicious (special mention for the buffet breakfast, possibly the largest spread I've ever encountered!). every day, a newsletter is provided giving some information about a nearby town, a weather forecast for the day, details of activities and special offers arranged by the hotel. The hotel itself includes a spa facility with an excellent (25m?) pool, sauna and fitness room, massage and beauty treatments are on hand, there's an archery range& pitch & putt golf course, pretty much enough for a long weekend without ever leaving the premises. One of my personal favourites.

Superb location in the town square; so typically German with good food. Parking available at modest cost. Plenty to do and see in the area. Narrow gauge railway with extensive route network throughout the Harz region, and if you want to see further afield there is a multitude of similar towns for touring, and even an aviation museum in addition to the almost mandatory "Schloss" [tourist road-train available].

Stayed for 3 nights while visiting locals. Rooms are luxurious, large, comfortable and nicely decorated - almost a suite. The bar area downstairs had plenty of room and comfy seating and the staff were nice. The location is very central and away from traffic. The vehicular access via the car park was a tortuous. Can't comment on the dining, as we didn't do any there.

Very good hotel. Near HBF. Near tram stop to get into town. There is a Beatles Museum in Halle ... Bizarre.

Halle is one of the former East Germany's last to emerge from its DDR past. There's still evidence of WWII ruins within the city itself, to include a ruined apartment building adjacent to the hotel. Great staff. No A/C but the place was clean and the price was right. Walking distance to the main rail station and its many fast food eateries. A taste of the former East is alive and well in Halle, better hurry it will soon be gone... .

The hotel has a unique layout featuring the imaginative architecture by Friedensreich Hundertwasser. It is located very close to the main attractions in Magdeburg, is very well managed and has all the amenities necessary for a nice stay in town.

We found it really helpful to have tram tickets included and we used them a lot.
