This is an elegant and historic hotel situated right on the edge of the old town. The reception and lobby are plush and you do not lose this impression as you take the lift to your room. Everything sparkles! The rooms are equiped with flat screen TVs, free Wifi,tea making facilities, safe, comfy beds and a spotless bathroom.
If you don't fancy the pricy breakfast take a stroll over the road where you will find a bakers where you can sit down to fresh bread or croissants and much better coffee than you tend to find in hotel breakfast buffets.

I booked this hotel as a last minute option on the internet and was extremely excited when I was able to reserve a standard room for only € 97 - quite a steal for a 5 star hotel, I thought. Well, apparently there was a reason for this price since our room definitely not a 5 star accomodation. Although clean, it seemed somehow faded. There were rips in the wallpaper and the entire room reminded me of an airport hotel. The bathroom was old fashioned and could use an update. There is a strange glass window between shower and hallway, although one has the option to lower some blinds. The TV was tiny and the lamp on my nightstand was not working right.
My husband likes to sleep on several pillows, but there was only a very small one for each of us. We looked for more, but could not find any. There were, however, two terry cloth bathrobes in the closet.
Of course, we only had a standard room and maybe the more expensive rooms are nicer, but one should be able to expect a certain level of quality in all rooms.
On a more postive note, the staff was extremely friendy and charming and always ready to help. As other reviewers have noted, the location is fantastic. All the sights are within walking distance and the train station is just up the road.
Given the low price for the room, we were not upset about our stay, just do not expect too much.

The situation of the hotel is marvellous, within easy walking distance of all the delights of Weimar. The staff were delightful, helpful and attentive every day of our stay in the hotel. It is true that the cost of parking is rather steep, however the service of the concierge in parking and fetching the car, and the worry free security the service provided was worth it. We had a room with a large balcony looking out to the hills and forest beyond Weimar, given the spectacular weather we enjoyed on this trip, this was an added and unexpected bonus. The hotel breakfast was excellent and basically provided absolutely anything you could wish for, from smoked salmon and bucks fizz to yoghurt and muesli. I would recommend this hotel to any traveller.

wanted to surprise my Russian girlfriend with our engagement in the Anastasia restaurant at the Russischer Hof. I had asked specifically in email correspondence if this was possible...of course it was...on paper...arrived and tried to make sure and was told that Anastasia will be closed but was offered the other restaurant. Slightly up-set I agreed, when we eventually came down, we discovered that the other restaurant was a coffee shop...we left and had our celebration with traditional food and black beer instead of fine dining and champagne at a local restaurant close by.
I can not recommend this hotel because it lacks basic 5 star service such as efficient staff, two bathrobes and slippers for double occupancy, Well, they wont see me there...
