Thuringia, Germany Hotel Rooms at the Carlson

This is an excellent hotel of great value for money. As we were visiting friends locally we did not have dinner either evening of our 2 night stay but lunch on the second day was of highest standard and on a par with that of first class hotels. Great choice for breakfast.

We were driving to Berlin and I was looking for a hotel right off the autobahn. This hotel fit the bill! It is only a couple minutes driving from the autobahn and has plenty of free parking. I booked a room for 4 - 2 adults and 2 children. We had a queen bed and a fold-out mini couch for the kids. The queen bed was so-so for comfort and the pull-out was super small. My kids (ages 5 and 8) both fit, but just barely. They complained about the size and the comfort - it was an all foam couch, not a true sofa bed. It may be worth the extra 20Euro for a roll-away if you have larger kids. We only stopped for the one night so it way ok. I purchased the breakfast with the room and it was totally worth it. It was a full spread and even had hot cocoa for the kids. We did not use any of the pool/sauna facilities. I would stay here again if we were driving this way again, but would order an extra roll-away bed.

Pleasant hotel - staff very helpful. A nice room on the 11th floor gave good views over the city.
