Perfect location for the steam trains. Lovely staff behind the bar. Not a lot of parking but we did manage to get parked. Good variety of breakfast. Dinner was lovely and big portions. Restaurant themed around the steam trains, great for enthusiasts. Thankyou

Perfect stay in Wernigrode
Perfect location if you arrive to Wernigrode by train. Great tidy, clean solo room and a nice breakfast buffet overlooking the steam engine railway. Helpful front desk staff. The town is beautiful.

Great stay in this quaint little City
The staff were friendly, the check-in process was cumbersome but not to the point of being annoying. We ate dinner in the hotel on night of our three night stay and had a delicious meal that was properly priced. Breakfast eat morning was well stocked and hot. We overlooked the railyards which provided endless entertainment a the old steam trains were moved into position.

Just the ticket
Conveniently located near the Harz narrow gauge railway, (with a railway theme to the hotel) but only a few minutes walk towards the centre of the historic town centre. Clean and modern rooms , a good breakfast buffet and friendly helpful staff.

Themed hotel
Stopped four nights. Overall pretty good, if slightly more expensive than it might be.
The hotel was a few minutes walk from the railway stations, and provided free parking.
I guess that the inflated price is as it is a themed location for the narrow gauge railway, with the drinks delivered by train feature in the restaurant.
Room was good sized, and very clean. The double bed I booked was actually two single beds pushed together, with a single duvet.
The rooms could do with tea/coffee facilities.
The bar / restaurant was good, as was breakfast which was available from 07.00.

Caters for all very well.
This hotel is perfect for all types especially the rail fan.
Over looks the HSB shed/yard and has a model train delivering the beer to the table. Very clean and comfortable with helpful staff. A small city tax provides a discount booklet including area buses. One to remember.

The hotel was very nice, the rooms, the beds, the location. Except when we came down for breakfast there was hardly anything left at the buffet, no meats, no cheese, no fruit; and it was not replenished, either.
The staff was wonderful.

Perfect Location
My first impression was one of exceptional freshness in the room, which was of good size and comfort. Check in was quick and friendly and breakfast had a good selection. The location is perfect for exploring the town and region. For those taking the steam train into the Harz or traveling by normal train, the stations are across the road. The beautiful pedestrian zone which is also where you catch the shuttle to the castle overlooking the town, is a pleasant stroll less than five minutes straight down the street. You also get free regional bus transportation with your tourist card at checkin. Perfect location, friendly service, nice room, excellent value.
