Travel Charme Gothisches Haus

各方面尚可

Excellent hotel ideally located on the central market square, of which we had great views from our spacious junior suite (it can be a bit noisy when they are setting things up outside early morning). Breakfasts are fabulous, with a particularly good selection of mueslis and cheeses, and a large slab of creamy butter tabled each morning. Coffee arrives instantly at your table, and service is speedy and efficient. We dined twice in the hotel's restaurant in the evening, and found it to be high quality, with interesting local produce (pott-suss was really tasty) and, slightly surprisingly, very good German red wine. Barman Andy was one of the best we've encountered - fast, lively and friendly, with a good menory for previous choices, and the ability to produce great cocktails, whether on the menu or not. Most of the staff spoke good English, which took the stress away from relying on my schoolboy German. Only criticism is that we'd have appreciated a bit of help getting our luggage to our room , as it was a long way from reception and involved corridor steps (though there is a lift fortunately). Wernigerode is a good base for the Harz region: we managed to ascend der Brocken (one of us actually walking!), rode the Brockenbahn and the Bimmelbahn, and took a trouble-free bus ride to Quedlinburg, a World Heritage site which is well worth a visit.

We stayed at the Gothisches for one night during Weinachten Markt. The parking was easy to find and literally a few steps to lower level entrance. The hotel itself is totally upscale in a good way. Our room was very nice and had a view of the market. When you exit through the front door of the hotel you are right in the market square with it’s beautiful architecture. After dinner we enjoyed nightcaps at the lively bar area. We found the bartender exceptionally friendly & professional. The village itself is quite nice and had a lot of nice stores in addition to the market kiosks. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would highly recommend.

While nobody was overtly rude, I got the impression they really didn’t want to engage much. I didn’t know that breakfast was included until the second morning when I was going to eat in the hotel and I asked how much. Again nobody was rude, but they were very slow to acknowledge when standing in front of them. The shower water was weak and apparently air conditioning really just means air that they are circulating and you have no way to turn the temperature down. However the good part is that it is centrally located, the rooms and the hotel itself were extremely clean and I’m very grateful for that.
