H+ Hotel & SPA Friedrichroda

Great hotel with pleasant and helpful staff. The rooms are comfortable and the bedding is of good quality. I enjoyed the breakfasts and the catering. The SPA also was very nice and friendly with people and they were very helpful.

Hotel was absolutely inflexibel to reschedule a booking due to personal circumstances, despite multiple stays. I will never book here again, no service whatsoever. Despite the reaction from the Hotel below, there was plenty of opportunity to reschedule the booking, even at a possibly higher price (although there were still rooms available at the same discounted rate). No communication, no questions were asked, just a turn down on my request to reschedule....funny how the only reaction comes when you leave a negative review. not client-friendly

Nice hotel , in quiet location surrounded by trees, but with good car parking and only 5 mins walk into town. Room was clean and comfortable with nice touches that many other hotels do not normally provide, like refrigerator in the room, and sufficient wall hooks on the bathroom for towels, wash bags etc. plus drying line in shower for wet swimming costumes. Breakfast buffet was particularly good with large selection, including cereals with heathy options with and without dried fruit and several milk options like low fat and lactose free. Similarly large selection of breads, fresh fruits and yogurts, cheeses and cold meats, hot selection with 3 types of egg, plus beacon, sausage, and frikadelle, also sweet alternatives such as croissants and pancakes. Pool and sauna area were also very good with a feeling of quality that looked well maintained. The sauna selection was good with 50, 70, 80 and 90 deg. saunas all clearly marked plus two different steam rooms, a plunge pool, different shower options, foot bathes, and several different quiet areas. Only down side was Friedrichroda itself, which has very limited section of restaurant alternatives if you want something other than traditional hearty fried brauhaus food.

Plus: good location, beautiful hiking trails around, nice pool and sauna, good breakfast, clean rooms. Enough parking space. Gluten-free bread was available upon request for the breakfast. Nice personnel. Minus: A bit old fashioned rooms, no kettle to make a tea. I missed a small refriegerator too. Allergy info was not available in the buffet.

The hotel staff were excellent, very helpful and incredibly polite. The room we had was larger than others as we had a balcony, but it was one of the biggest rooms I had ever been in. Most hotels have a cook, judging by the meals served here, they have a Chef, a very very good one. The Gym has some decent equipment, but lacks some up to date nautilus equipment and has absolutely no free weights, so any upper body workouts are nearly impossible.
