Göbel's Sophien Hotel

The comfort at the room and the excellent service.

The hotel is very central in Eisenach and since it is a small city one can walk to almost everywhere. If one is adventurous and likes hikes one can even walk to the Wartburg. Though there are no signs to follow, just keep the famous Castle in sight and walk up mountain through a lovely wood. The hotel itself offers spacious rooms for European standard, spa, body treatment and a rich breakfast buffet with hot and cold meals. The design of the lobby is very cheerful and modern but cozy. I liked it.

I would have liked to see a smiling and welcoming receptionist. The one we met appeared rather indecisive. If one tries hard one could have discovered a smile behind her preoccupation with having the check-in forms in order. However, she was helpful recommending restaurants and the bar maid later was more than cheerful. I didn't like the house maid knocking on our door 9.30 in the morning to see when we are leaving the room. As we were checking-out anyway it is clear that the room is free from 11am latest. Instead she could check with the reception whether the guest are checked -out instead of getting me out of the shower. (I was expecting our accompanying friends otherwise would not have left my morning indulgence)
