Wernigerode hotels

Pros: Breakfast in a totally lovely setting

Pros: Hospitality. Food. Beautifully decorated rooms.

Pros: Good view of castle from this particular room - others were not quite so good. Great location in centre of town but very quiet. Large room with large comfortable bed and a settee and dining table. Excellent breakfast.

Cons: The kitchen was poorly stocked for cooking, but this was quickly resolved when we asked for more utensils. Not all rooms are accessible - only one of the three staircases had a lift. Check if this is important to you.

Pros: Location

Cons: None

Pros: The hotel is in a good location on the main pedestrian street. We had a one bedroom apartment, number 16, on the top floor with a nice view of the Brocken mountain and the castle. There was a lift to the first floor and then stairs. To keep fit we climbed up and down the 54 steps from the carpark whenever possible! Luckily the nice staff carried our suitcases up when we arrived and down on our departure. The building is traditional "half-timbered" but well renovated. The room had high ceilings, lots of openable windows and radiators for heating. We only used the frig, kettle and sink, but the kitchenette was equipped with a microwave oven, stove top and basic kitchen utensils. The bed and shower were good, the room was very quiet, Wifi good. Although the room had no safe, we felt secure at all times. A good breakfast was provided in a very nice dining room with a view to the castle.

Cons: The hotel exceeded our expectations in many ways.

Pros: The location is simply put perfect. The main street of the city right through a doorway and a cozy quiet courtyard with parking below the rooms. Several of the rooms have a view of the castle which is pretty impressive especially at night. The very so friendly and did absolutely everything to make sure we had a great stay. The rooms were very clean - the hotel in general was tightly kept. We will certainly be recommending the hotel to everyone we know.

Cons: A few of the employees were not the best English speakers which can make it a bit tricky if you don’t speak English - to be fair though that is nitpicking considering everything else.

Pros: Central location and car parking on site.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: View of castle from bedroom. Receptionist Hans gave me a bottle of beer. Many thanks, Hans. Hotel is in a quiet location, but not far from the town centre.

Cons: Missed croissants for breakfast. Eggs were runny - no hard boiled ones.

Pros: Excellent location and very friendly staff. Nice views, too. It was only a short walk to the train station for a ride up the Brochen on a steam engine. An adult ticket was euro 45 but worth it, we felt.

Cons: Not hotel related but I bought a discount book for euro 22 which offered discounts to local attractions and free bus travel, etc. Our savings over the four days was euro 1.5!! You really need to be there for a year or season to make the discount book economical.

Pros: Friendly and helpful staff an excellent location just of the main street in the old town, easy access to the cafes and restaurants. A 10 minute walk to the station of the Harz Steam Railway. With safe of street parking. Highly recommended.

Cons: As I would not hesitate to recommend this property to family and friends it is very difficult to find a criticism.

Pros: Great view from the room of the Schloss. Central location and great morning breakfasts.

Pros: The location is perfect for visiting this quaint town. You can't get a better spot! The breakfast is phenomenal! Lots of delicious options, and they have the cutest butter machine that forms perfect disks of fresh butter to apply to the equally tasty breads and pastries. When we checked out, the front desk staff gave us a to-go bag with a wonderful loaf of bread and 2 waters. Very nice touch!

Cons: We noticed that some people received Sparkling wine upon arrival. We did not. That was kind of odd. Other than that, we would recommend this hotel to everyone!

Pros: The perfect countryside retreat.

Cons: The lovely staff. Very helpful.

Pros: Had real character. Was right on the town square. Room was beautiful!

Pros: Breakfast was very good!! But we has a buffet dinner which was disappointing, I expected somethingg else in this very nice and charming place.

Cons: The buffet dinner !!

Pros: Location, ambience, tasteful decor, bedroom size, Christmas decorations, robes, slippers, water and juice in the rooms, friendly staff, breakfast. The real fire in the bar and the friendly barman were very welcoming.

Pros: The location was perfect, right near the old market square. The breakfast was very complete and very good quality. The staff was friendly and helpful. I strongly recommend it for travelers, especially if you are driving around the Harz mountains.

Pros: Brilliant location and beautiful Wernigorode at Christmas time.

Cons: Bed was a bit hard

Pros: Excellent location for travelling by train or bus Excellent choices for breakfast . Very mmmm Bed comfy Good selection of alcholic and non alcholic drinks at a competitive price

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Friendly staff, good service, excellent location, nice and clean.

Cons: You can always wish a lower price, but the value for money is good.

Pros: Nice localized , charming, friendly place !

Cons: Everything was wonderful

Pros: Good breakfast

Pros: Clean room, tasty and rich breakfast. Silent place. Pension located on a hill, so be prepared for some activities if no car.

Cons: Spa tax - what it is for? Has to be paid in cash. No shampoo

Pros: The breakfast was very good with good choice of breakfast foods.we enjoyed the stay. No problems or concerns

Pros: Overall, no complaints, great breakfast

Cons: The street that the property is located is very , very steep, difficult to walk up

Pros: Thank you, our stay at Pension Ginko was fantastic.

Pros: Beautiful settings. Attention to detail. Classy!

Cons: Enjoyed everything!

Pros: Bed was excellent.

Pros: Beautiful building, super friendly / helpful staff (despite our not speaking German). Great food. Loved the sauna.

Pros: The building is beautiful with so much historic character. The staff were friendly & very helpful, particularly with our lack of German language. The breakfast was delicious with plenty of choice.

Cons: The location is fairly isolated as there is not much on the small town

Pros: What an amazing hotel! Walking into the reception is like walking into a grand castle with stone floors, a sweeping wooden staircase up to the first floor and beautiful wooden-ballustrade balconies looking back down to the reception area. Our room was very large, very comfortable and very quiet and the views out onto the surrounding green landscape very pleasant. The breakfast / dinner room was equally grand and the quality of the food was very good (we had breakfast in the hotel each of the 3 mornings of our stay, and also ate dinner in the hotel 2 of the 3 nights), and they had a few vegetarian options which was a pleasant surprise (for me as a vegetarian!). The spa area was amazingly comprehensive with two showers, changing rooms, foot bath, whirlpool (that you have to manually fill each time though), sauna and steam-room. The staff were also very friendly whenever we needed to speak to them.

Cons: For those used to large continental cooked breakfasts, the only cooked food available here were boiled eggs, scrambled egg and bacon, the rest being cold platters of meat, vegetables and fruit. That said, the food was all very fresh, tasty and beautifully laid out. Also, and it's only a minor point, but the restaurant may be slightly understaffed, as during one of the dinners there were gaps of 10-15 minutes between someone coming out into the restaurant to see if anyone needed help / attention which made the process of paying to leave quite slow!

Pros: We opted for the Comfort Double room. The room and the bathroom were clean. The room also had the view of the Rathaus which we liked. It would have been better if we had coffee machine in the room. The breakfast was decent.

Cons: The check-in time is 15.00 which is too late. There was not possibility of an early check-in as well. In Wernigerode, the public transport ticket is given by the Hotel you stay since we pay tourist tax as part of the accomodation charges. We can get this ticket from the hotel only after check-in. By this time, most of the attractions would be near closing time. It would be better if the check-in time is 12.00.

Pros: Great restaurant for breakfast and dinner.

Pros: Location

Cons: Extra sitting / living room was not needed.

Pros: Good breakfast, silent room, friendly staff!

Cons: Strange odour in the room

Pros: Location, comfort and decor.

Cons: The only downside to the hotel was the young barman who worked in the hotel bar on a couple of evenings. The young lady was superb, very friendly, chatty and welcoming. The polar opposite of the barman.

Pros: Very friendly and helpful staff. Excellent breakfast and great location overlooking the old town square.

Pros: The hotel is on the Markplatz right across from the Altes Rathaus. It is in an excellent location. The staff was very helpful. The restaurant had great food.

Pros: Room was clean and cozy, mini bar available. Hotel is really close to the center and just next to the castle.

Cons: Smell of the dogs in the hotel was quite strong and there was no kettle in the room.

Pros: We found this property a bit of a mixed bag. Their local customers obviously love it; the proprietors and staff are friendly, accessible, and free with their advice; the breakfast buffet is reasonably comprehensive (though less so than at some other hotels on our trip); the location part way up the hill to the castle is quiet and secluded; it's an attractive old building; and our large, comfortable room had a great view. But...

Cons: The first morning we had no hot water in our room. The proprietor did not believe me, and asked me to run the taps for 5 minutes before calling him again. Then he came up and a somewhat Fawlty-esque pantomime ensued before he finally accepted there was a problem - which, to his credit, he did fix. There were no tea and coffee making facilities in our room. Also the tap water in our room tasted foul, and (unlike every other hotel we've stayed at on this trip) no free bottles of water were provided. The hotel was full for our visit and people were packed in tightly at breakfast. If you don't mind conviviality and noisy banter at breakfast, with people banging into your chair to get past, you will be fine but it was not our cup of tea. Also the buffet table was not really big enough for the numbers. Items did run out, and although they were replaced the staff could not always keep up. Parking is very tight and access is not easy. If your car is bigger than ours (Mondeo sized), or you time your arrival badly, you may not be able to squeeze in and/or you may have to reverse down the drive to get out.

Pros: Very nice owners, lovely small hotel, great breakfast, good location.

Pros: Rich breakfast, adequate parking, great location, reliable Wi-Fi. Nice and romantic.

Cons: Moody staff.

Pros: Great breakfast. Nice staff. They lent us maps for hiking, which was very nice. Quiet and lovely location!

Pros: As a business traveller I stay at a different hotel each week. I chose this hotel based on location and price and wasn't disappointed either way. It is a "hidden gem" forget the corporate points and go for "family values".

Cons: Nothing to dislike - there is free parking which some of the dearer hotels can't boast! Plus it is only 750m from the town centre.

Pros: Location

Cons: Everything was ok

Pros: Great place for rest ! Quite, cosy, not so far from city center.

Pros: The location is good, a short walk from the city. Rooms are clean.

Cons: Upon arrival, the guy who helped us was busier with where to park his Maserati than with helping us. He was clearly in a hurry. They have made a bit too efficient use of space in the room. To get to the bathroom we had to close a cardboard ‘door’ to divide it from the hallway.

Pros: Very good, comfortable rooms

Pros: Great location and view. Clean comfortable room. Breakfast was ok.

Cons: We stayed during an extremely hot summer day and night. The room was not airconditioned, but I imagine it is normally not necessary. Unfortunately with windows that only open at the top, it made for a sleepless night. I would suggest having a fan available in case of another heat wave.

Pros: Our landlord was incedibly kind and approachable.

Cons: more dishes and a cutting board - a mere detail

Pros: Clean, comfortable bed

Cons: No Bike storage or place to secure it, no staff onsite, room too small for large furniture- more like an Airbnb

Pros: We booked a room in Pension Schlossidyll but got a really nice place in the Burgstrasse. It was very clean, had a lot of nice features like a very large tv, sound system in the kitchen, surround led light with remote controle, ... A very nice bathroom which was an amazing experience for my 9 year old daughter. Light on, music on (nice beat) and a rain shower! The location was magnificent, right in the city center, close to everything. A city center, taken out of a fairytale. The reception was very good and everything was handled as agreed upon arrival. Top location and accommodation which we will visit again someday!

Pros: Even though I don’t speak or understand German, the staff accommodated my vegan request for breakfast and helped me get a taxi to the train station when I left.

Cons: Quarters were close; not enough acoustic privacy...

Pros: Almost perfect for us. Staff, Location, Ambiance. Would definitely return.

Cons: Maybe a bit more choice at breakfast.

Pros: The room was lovely and the place was very clean. The owner was very friendly and helpful. There were drinks and coffee available to buy at a very reasonable price. The pension is very close to the town only a 5 minute walk.

Cons: All fine.

Pros: Lovely, helpful lady in charge.

Pros: I liked that it was only about a 10 minute walk to the rathaus. It's in a quiet neighborhood far enough away from all the traffic of the main street. The room was nice and clean, the shower was great, and the breakfast was delicious. I think the best part was the ladies who run this pension. They were very friendly and spoke English quite well. They made me feel at home.

Cons: There are only about 8 parking spaces on the property. Luckily, there is street parking so it wasn't a big deal.

Pros: I can heartily recommend this very lovely hotel. Extemely well run, very clean. Simona who I believe was the owner the hotel having been in the family for a very long time. My single bedroom was really comfortable. The peace and quiet of the district was amazing. The duvet was changed midweek and the towels several times. If you are looking for a smaller place slightly out of town, look no further The Hotel Schweitzerhoff Is the very best.

Pros: Spacious room, personal, very convenient to station and centre of town, spotlessly clean inside. Welcoming and friendly staff.

Cons: It needs major external work - painting, garden tidied - first appearances are off- putting. Many steps - guests need to fit enough to manage them.

Pros: Amazing hostess, wonderful breakfast, and would highly recommend. I was a solo female traveller passing through, and definitely stood out, but the staff made me so welcome there.

Cons: The automatic fan in the bathroom was bothersome to me

Pros: Excellent breakfast choice in very nice room with view of castle. Most pleasant start to the day. Room very comfortable. Stayed in several hotels in Wernigerode over the years, this is the best.

Cons: Well nothing really

Pros: Lovely hotel with a fantastic views of the castle, EV charging points in the car park to enable me to charge my car while I slept so it’s ready for my onward journey.

Cons: Tea, coffee & a kettle in the room would have been nice but this appears to be rare in German hotels

Pros: Everything was clean and even though the look was vintage, it looked new.

Cons: The Breakfast was okay. The food was presented nicely, but the choice was a bit lacking. There were some scrambled eggs, some choices of bread and some cheap cereal. Okay for a 50€ Hotel, Lacking for a 100€ one. No inviting lounge areas in the hotel itself.

Pros: A short walk from old town but a lot quieter than old town particularly during Rathaus Fest. Parking at hotel, easy to access roads out out of Wernigerode. A balcony with view of the castle allowed us to sit outside.

Cons: Toiletries and soap not always replaced. No tissues.

Pros: Breakfast with a view. Lovely.

Pros: Really kind and helpful people working there.

Pros: The size of room was lovely, however bathroom slightly small and cramped. Balcony with castle view was great and good to be able to sit out in the afternoon evening. Swimming pool was good although a little cold for us as we are use to using a warm pool in uk. Breakfast was very good and a good variety considering it was a small hotel. the location was ideal just on the edge of town but within walking distance of everything. Free car park.

Cons: Access to the hotel, I struggled with luggage up the front steps, then second day found the car park entrance to the hotel down two steps and then access to lift which the staff didn't advise of at time of booking in. This was also slightly easier for my husband to use as the entrance to hotel as he has mobility difficulties. Couldn't take his scooter into the hotel, cobbled car park was also not good.

Pros: Very well maintained, nice breakfast room and very friendly staff!

Pros: Best was the location. Hotel was cosy and gave a nice impression.

Cons: At check out, I could not pay with either credit or debit card, although it was specifically asked of me during check in.

Pros: The whole stay everyting was ok. Serviceminded Staff Quiet and fresh air

Pros: Friendly and helpful reception staff, great location, spacious room, information about the history of the place.

Cons: Hotel did miss some amenities in my opinion especially in terms of bathroom comfort. Also I felt a little monitored while having breakfast.it felt a little as if eating in someones house. Overall a very pleasant place but pricy which makes one more picky

Pros: All the staff were very friendly, helpful and efficient. The breakfast buffet was varied and of excellent quality. The room was quiet, clean and the beds comfortable.

Cons: We have stayed at this hotel many times in the past and recently the hotel changed hands. The hotel is now rather bare and lacks a homely atmosphere. The rooms and the dining area need some pictures on the walls, the place would also benefit with more ornaments here and there and maybe a few artistic objects relative to local history and traditions. Also, the once busy and vibrant restaurant/bar was closed.

Pros: A very characterful and historic property, with lots of wood panelling, close to the town centre. Bedrooms are comfortable and a good size, some overlooking the picturesque street. Friendly staff. Breakfast very good.

Pros: Location was very central, staff very helpful, room very clean and breackfast tasty.

Pros: A really nice hotel but only minimal parking which meant parking away from the hotel in a public car park

Pros: Super friendly and helpful staff, great location. Super clean and comfortable. Would strongly recommend staying at this hotel.

Cons: Everything was great!

Pros: charming receptionist who ,noting i was british, added baked beans to the breakfast spread! a touch of class!

Cons: the chair in my room was not very comfortable
