The Hotel Anna Amalia is well-located in the heart of beautiful Weimar, about a 20 minute walk from the station. (There are handy buses, too.) The rooms are adequate for a 3 star hotel, although the beds can be VERY hard. More of a problem, though, is the attitude of reception to guests - dealing with you is not seen as a priority, and friendliness is obviously verboten.

Would i recommend it? The price is reasonable - although breakfast was not included - and the place looks pleasant, but then we get to the service... Perhaps i would, but with reservations.

Would i recommend a visit to Weimar? You bet!

The staff at this property are not friendly or accommodating. They do *not* speak English. They will put you in a room facing extremely loud construction that starts before 7am and not tell you. They think that you just want a bigger room (??) when you have the audacity to complain about having been woken up by the noise and request to change rooms. They will charge you EUR3 to borrow their front desk laptop for 5 minutes (!!) to use the internet because they don't have anything else to offer you. The manager of the hotel will scream at you when you politely ask for a small EUR7 adjustment for the room price for having been woken up the first night. He sarcastically asked if we thought he should just shut down the whole hotel on account of the construction just because we asked for the small adjustment. Do NOT stay here, there are other more polite establishments for this similar price range in Weimar.

My two cousins and I traveled Europe this Sept and loved this Hotel. Was a little hard to get to with a car, Many detours and 1-way streets, but once we found it, we loved it. Clean, spacious, friendly, great breakfast, nice size bathroom, what more could I ask for. And walking around the Hotel area at night was charming. Cobblestone walks, cute small fruit markets and shops. We found Restaurant Frauentor for our dinner and ate outside. Also, a wonderul experience! We were very happy with Hotel Anna Amalia.

This hotel was very well situated in the city's center within walkable distance to just about anything you'd like to see. A wonderful restaurant next door with wonderful ambience, and nice bar at the hotel itself. The rooms were very clean and neatly appointed. The staff was very helpful and nice. I stayed here for a week and even sharing a room with someone else. Plenty of room for us both. Breakfast was great (including meats, cheeses, breads, cereal, etc.) and included in the price of the hotel. I highly recommend it and will return if ever in Weimar again! Wave to Goethe for me...
