We stayed at Haus Hainstein our first two nights in Germany and really liked the hotel. It sits high up on the hills overlooking Eisenach. The room was clean and comfortable and quiet. Much needed after our 13 hour plane ride and 2 hours drive from Frankfurt. The breakfast is good. Scrambled eggs, meats, cheese, bread, cereal, yogurt, fresh fruit, juice, milk and coffee. The view from the restaurant is spectacular. The staff was pleasant and helpful.

We loved that you just had to hike 20 minutes from the hotel and were at Wartburg Castle. Ask the staff for the short cut to the main square of Eisenach. It's only a 10 minute walk.

We had one dinner there as well and it was very good traditional German food.

This is a gem in central Germany and highly recommend if you are headed to Eisenach or Erfurt. more
