Hotel Kaiserhof

a group of forty of us visited Eisenach for a couple of days as part of a European railfanning trip. Aside from Eisenach being a beautiful city and the hotel in an extremely convenient location both from the city center and the train station, it's a beautiful hotel with spacious (for European standards) rooms and very friendly staff. The hotel helped us arrange a reception with sparkling wine and was very accomodating of participants with special needs. Bravo! We will certainly be back!

“Decent accommodations in the center of town.”

Centrally located with reserved parking available. Rooms were small (as are the rooms in many old hotels in this part of the world) and somewhat uncomfortable (headboard on the bed, in particular) ...very small shower.

Centrally located with reserved parking available. Rooms were small (as are the rooms in many old hotels in this part of the world) and somewhat uncomfortable (headboard on the bed, in particular) ...very small shower. Took a long time to warm up the room on a cold morning. But the room was very clean, and the check-in/check-out was easy. Not many clothes hangers and did not notice hooks for coats. Breakfast buffet was delicious with a lot to choose from. The room was too small to accommodate the four of us when we wanted to sit around and share the bottle of wine we brought with us. To be fair, there is what looks like a nice bar behind reception, be we didn't feel good about sitting down there with our own bottle of wine. There is also a great restaurant on the property.

“Stylish and comfortable”

Kaiserhof is an old fasioned hotel - in its best sense. Brown panels, red/purple thick carpets, room keys that weighs a kilo...

Kaiserhof is an old fasioned hotel - in its best sense. Brown panels, red/purple thick carpets, room keys that weighs a kilo... With its origin from the last century much of the old charm has been retained. Renovated several times it does however keep up with what you expect in a modern hotel. The reception/lounge/bar is really very nice with stucco and chandeliers hanging from the high ceiling. A good spot to relax after a long day. Rooms are quite stylish and lacks - thankfully - carpeting. Comfortable beds and all basic amenities you need. Breakfast is german-ish exstensive and is served in a light and bright breakfast room. Staff kind and helpful. Only problem is a single elevator, that takes its time between the floors. If a large group of guests arrives or leaves, prepare for some waiting. Kaiserhof has two restaurants: the fine dining "Turmschänke" (reviewed separately) and the simpler and very affordable "Zwinger" in the basement (also reviewed separately) where typically german dishes are served. If you like a touch of the old days, this is a very recommended hotel. If you on the other hand prefer a modern boutiqueish style, then look elsewhere.
