Altora Eisenbahn Themenhotel

Great location, good restaurant: excellent food & drink, unlike many hotels in Germany, food & drink could be charged to the room & settled by credit card. Also, hotel staff very relaxed, welcoming visitors whether they were staying at the hotel or not.

Avoid rooms at the front of the hotel; early morning road traffic can be noisy. Needed air conditioning, due to unusually hot German summer.

they are geared up to travellers needs, wherever they come from. Restaurant open to all, not just guests; menus in multi languages, able to charge to your room; and perhaps most importantly, it can all be charged to your room. Outstanding!

My room was fine

Stayed many times before. The Breakfast very very poor no selection of cold meats .in fact that bad did not take breakfast! The smell of cigarette smoke very strong in the bar area where smokers would open a door to smoke plus it would drawn in to the bar area . And have decided never will return,

Location near steam railway

Poor management.Request for gluten free breakfast initially ignored

We chose this property to be close to the Harz Mountain Steam Train Depot, and it did not disappoint us. Our chosen railroad theme room had an excellent view of the steam train rail yard, so that we were able to watch the engines come and go. It was spacious, clean, quiet and comfortable. We especially liked having dinner in the restaurant and having a beer delivered by a model train.

Great location near the station. Lovely breakfast, friendly staff who spoke English.

TV didn't have a signal, but we didn't raise this during our stay as to busy travelling around and sightseeing.

Very easy to locate, about 5 minute walk directly opposite the railway station. Easy access to town centre and all amenities.Clean hotel and friendly staff.

Location near to Station & Town Center

In need of modernisation, felt more like a hostel. Hair dryer in room so old and worked when it wanted. Staff miserable unable to smile. Breakfast poor, no gluten free option for bread, meat & cheeses were spiced no plain options.

The train theme was a nice touch, the room layout and friendly staff. Location as is close to mainline and HSB station and Altstadt. Breakfast options were good and dinners were nice. Liked being able to see HSB trains from the breakfast room.

It was stated to have soundproofing, this is not the case. The room window was next to a footpath and road that leads to the Altstadt, this caused a fair amount of external noise. Internal noise wasn't much better as could hear so much in neighbouring rooms and in the hallway. Occasional smell in the room which may be drainage. Being a solo traveller I had to ask to order a drink to a table to be delivered by the model train. Otherwise I was always sat away from the window and the model train. Also not told about city tax at the start of my stay.

The location at the old town.

You could hear each spoken word of guests next rooms.Lots of noise in the hallway.Very thin walls.

Breakfast was excellentstaff Great and the little train delivering drinks wonderful

Nothing really

This hotel is one of the best stays in Weingerode this is the second time we have stayed there as we base it around the trip on the Hartz Steam Railway to Brocken it is in an excellent position to view all the train movements during the dayThe hotel staff are very friendly and helpful even though we did not manage to speak much German they did spoke very good English and were very very helpful the food was first class and freshly cooked the hotel was spotless ie shower etc the rooms were absolutely spotless we are planning a return trip

Great location for train spotting, included travel pass for surrounding area, very quiet area, friendly staff and good service.

Only slight downside was I booked the wrong dates and they have no policy to arrange switching. This was my own fault though.

Location very convenient, size of room excellent and comfortable beds. Good restaurant for dining, but breakfast just regular. Staff friendly.

Situated a few minutes walk from the train stations - DB and HSB, infact it is directly opposite the HSB steam trains.Good buffet breakfast, helpful staff.Restaurant on site, the old town is a few minutes walk away with good selection of cafes and restaurants.

The bed was a little soft for my liking.

- 6 minutes walk to both the Wernigerode Central station and to the steam train up to the Brocken- Old town, castle, etc are all at walking distance- Nice staff at the reception- Good breakfast options-Tickets for local buses and trams running along the Harz region are free during the stay (you gotta stay overnight for this)

- No soundproofing in the room : Could hear loud TV, alarms ringing, people talking, coughing and snoring the entire time from other rooms although I had a private room all to myself- No electric kettle in the room to heat some warm water for oneself

The room , the staff and also the breakfast were great

The hotel is in different buildings. Better signage would be advantage

Excellent location especially for both the DB (main) & HSB (narrow gauge Brocken) railway stations.Really good food at really good prices but you definitely need to book for an evening meal as it gets full.

We stayed 3 nights and all but one of the staff were very unfriendly as if they really wanted to be somewhere else.

Train theme of hotel was fun, location was close (for walking) to Hauptbahnhof and also Altstadt, room had great overhead lighting, easy to adjust shower, breakfast buffet had good variety

The mattress was a bit too firm, but that's a matter of personal taste

Wonderful location if you love steam trains.

A little bit out of town and can be a little noisy due to the fire and ambulance station down the road so lots of sirens going past.
