The best available hotels & places to stay near Weimar

August 7, 2022 Esmeralda Fenner

Weimar was quite the intellectual hotspot back in the day, with Goethe, Friedrich Schiller, Bach, Liszt, Lucas Cranach and the Weimar School all spending time here. Goethe groupies will enjoy visiting his home, his tomb and the museum dedicated to him. If you’re in search of great food, visit during the Weimar Onion Market, held in October. (Just don’t forget your mints.)

Good value accomodation

Reviewed By Wolrdwide

The hotel is not the newest but in good shape and in a nice neighborhood. With the bus the city center is reached in 5 min. Good value - can recommend. Location: The hotel is somewhat outside of Weimar in a very nice neighborhood and opposite the large city Park. Walk to city center abt 15-20 min and there is a bus every15 min (incl in the Weimar card). Parking cost extra. The park is excellent for runners and huge. Rooms: the hotel is not new and it shows in the style, however, rooms are large and we had a bathroom with tub. While the bathroom could use a refurb, the rooms are fine. We looked to the inner court yard which was not very exciting. There is NO safe in the room, but you can leave things w reception. Beverage vending machine on every floor. Breakfast: Given Corona there was no buffet but table service. Still a good choice and the hotel did a good job, although you have to decide beforehand for a time slot. Staff: Friendliness was mixed. Check in took forever.

wish I had not stayed here

Reviewed By jml712

The drilling started at 7:30am. I am listening to it in the room as I write. The hotel is currently in the middle of a building site. When we arrived at the hotel two evenings ago, large machinery was breaking up lumps of concrete outside the front door and directly beneath our historic room. We were reluctantly offered a downgrade to a quieter room, with no reduction in price. The staff seemed unconcerned about the issue. As I've been typing the drilling noise has intensified in the "quiet" room. It was audible throughout the day yesterday when we spent time in the room. We were advised by the hotel a couple of days in advance of our arrival that there were some building works in the area which we were assured would not affect our stay at the hotel. Getting in or out of the hotel involves going through a building site. I wish we had stayed somewhere else, and I wasn't wasting time writing this review.

Hotel Kaiserin Augusta

Location, lovely restaurant and great staff

Reviewed By colin w

Location, lovely restaurant and great staff I booked because it’s right opposite the train station ….. but this hotel is so much more. Often ‘right opposite the train station’ means you are sacrificing something in terms of appearance and slight seediness for the convenience - but not here ! It’s a lovely old hotel (with a nice history), restored several times over the years, with a particularly impressive glass-surrounded restaurant for all meals. Location - as well as being on a pretty square right in front of the train station it’s less than 10 minutes’ easy straight line walk from the museums and the historic old town. There are plenty of nicely located hotels in the centre too by the way - just not as good for train access. The hotel restaurant is a real delight. Go for the breakfast buffet with some of the best prepared hotel bacon I have ever come across - crispy, fat-free and warm - plus all the usual egg, cereal, fruit salad and bread options. Standard coffee good German filter not espresso (though that’s available at the bar); orange juice average. Supper was freshly cooked smallish choice (these do go hand in hand, of course) - have a look at the menu in advance and if there’s something you like the look of eat here, quality is excellent. Staff very friendly; rooms moderate size, very clean, toiletries provided (shower gel and shampoo, no lotion or conditioner). Large non-leaky showers. You can claim a free snack if you forego your room servicing (!) ….. Rooms are non-smoking but they provide a smokers’ lounge for addicts. To be recommended.

Dorint Am Goethepark Weimar

The hotel Dorint Am Goethepark Weimar with its central location is not only the ideal starting point for a city trip to the former Capital of Culture of 1999, it is also the perfect choice for a very special business meeting or conference, which will be remembered for a long time to come. Embark on a journey of discovery through a city where Goethe lived and worked, and which the Duchess Anna Amalia and her son, Carl August, transformed into a center of creativity. To this very day, one can sense this unique atmosphere in the heart of the free state of Thuringia, cradle of the German classic arts. The Weimar cultural calendar includes an entire year of events, with the highlight being the arts festival and celebrations around Goethe's birthday. However, in addition to the cultural highlights, the delightful Thuringian landscape and natural surroundings are a big attraction: enjoy a hike or a lovely, long bicycle ride along the river Ilm. Or visit the many legendary sightseeing attractions around Weimar like the Wartburg castle or Castle Grosskochberg with its quaint theater. Are you fond of onions? Then don't miss out on a visit to the state's largest public festival, the Weimar Onion Market in October! The Dorint Hotel Am Goethepark Weimar - with its fine ambience including art nouveau and Bauhaus elements and comfortable rooms, will ensure that your stay is as pleasant as possible. Perhaps you will enjoy a similar experience to that of the famous poet, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe, and will return to visit our fair city on many more occasions. To paraphrase the great poet himself: 'Where on earth would you find so many good things in so small a place...and I have been almost everywhere! - But Weimar is a place to which I always gladly returned.' We look forward to welcoming you again and again!

Large and modern

Reviewed By NemoTraveler

We stayed two nights here on a road trip to Germany. The hotel is located next to the Goethe Park and within walking distance of some of the most famous sights in Weimar, such as the Goethe House, the Schiller-Museum, and The Dutchess Anna Amalia Library. Paid underground parking (EUR 20 per day) is available, as the hotel has its own section of the neighboring public parking facility. We had booked a Superior room, which was clean, spacious and equipped with all the amenities you would expect for a first class hotel, such as a safe, coffee making equipment, and A/C. A very good buffet breakfast with a large number of hot and cold items was included in our rate. The hotel is very modern and large with about 140 rooms, and in some respects this may lead to a less cozy feeling than in a smaller boutique style hotel, such as The Elephant, where we stayed last year and enjoyed superior service. Although we had a good stay at the Dorint, we would probably prefer The Elephant for our next stay in Weimar.

Nice hotel - stayed next door in the apartment house

Reviewed By kimUSAF

Well-located to old town. We cannot comment on hotel rooms, as we stayed next door in one of the apartments (no lift). It had a little kitchen, with tiny fridge, and nice bathroom. However, as I mentioned to a clerk - there are no hooks at all in the bathroom to hang your towels. Little to no room to put a shaving kit anywhere, either - but, that is a minor item. Our issue was not with the hotel, but that we stayed 3 nights and there is just not that much to do/see in Weimar. Had a the best German meal across town on a Sat night, but then realized that most restaurants are closed on Sunday and Monday. Weimar was like a ghost town (late Jan 2022). We should have stayed in Erfurt for a night - gorgeous medieval town. But, back to the hotel -not sure where they are getting that nice picture of having breakfast on an upstairs balcony, because breakfast is served in the large glass room next to check-in. Breakfast was lovely - they even had sekt served on Sunday (which, for 3 euro/bottle, why not serve on all days?). Cappucino's are extra (not included in bfast). We parked on the street for free v. the hotel parking.

36PhoCo Guesthouse

Top hospitality in an Asian-industrial guesthouse

Reviewed By Gryzo

This guesthouse is the place to stay in Weimar if you’re looking for something of the beaten track. This elegant combination of Asian finesse and industrial chic would fit in any metropole. Great rooms, friendly staff and an excellent location (just around the central market square). The owners als operate an excellent restaurant (and an Asian food store) across the street. The only minor point is they offer no breakfast (but the owners provide ample suggestions and rumour has they will open a cafe shortly to cater for this).

Poor hotel in dreadful location

Reviewed By Booklover100

Hotel is in the middle of nowhere. On no account stay here if you are visiting Weimar. It is near a motorway junction about 6 km out of town. The hotel restaurant is terrible and nearly served me food to which I am allergic by lying about the ingredients. Room shabby and noisy with groaning lift mechanism clearly audible. Terrible value for what you get. Avoid. NB the tripadvisor description is very misleading.

a&o Weimar

This attractively priced a&o has its own volleyball court, an orchard, and a playground. If it’s grey and rainy outside, just let off some steam inside by the tabletop football or billiards table. If you just want to rest, head to one of the 135 single, double, family, or multi-bed dorm rooms. Weimar’s certainly not the largest city in Germany, so you can leave your car or bus in our parking lot and hire a bike from us – or take the bus, which stops right outside our door.

Good price, Good Service.

Labyrinth Hostel Weimar

Right in the center of Weimar lies the Labyrinth Hostel, labyrinthine like the town itself. All rooms became decorated by local artists, you will definitely find no IKEA standard like elsewhere. You can expect extensive city info, a personal support and a cozy and international atmosphere. You will find a complete equipped guest kitchen, free tea and coffee and on the big roof terrace it will be easy to make new friends.

Best location in Weimar.
