Hotel Glockenhof Eisenach in Eisenach

The odd and jarring Caribbean restaurant on the ground floor of this hotel is a menace to the hotel guests who want to enjoy a restful early night at this establishment. First of all, no AC or even simple electric fans are available to guests; so in order to keep the room at a comfortable temperature to sleep, you have to open the windows. The drunk and loud customers of the weird Carribbean restaurant/cocktail bar located right underneath the bedroom windows will make sure you are annoyed and disturbed until midnight. You can try closing the windows, and still hear enough noise, and endure stuffiness on top of that.

The rooms were basic and dated. There is nothing modern about this place. It has a very 70s/80s vibe and probably has not been renovated since. Small old TV like a computer monitor, with no international channels (isn't that a criteria for a 4 star hotel?) In short, this hotel cannot be recommended. We had friends staying at other hotels in Eisenach for the wedding we were all attending, and they showed us pictures of their hotels which are all nicer and more modern. They also said they didn't have any issue with disturbing noise.

The only good point of this hotel was a perfectly acceptable breakfast. The chef gets extra points for knowing how to boil eggs so that they peel easy and for not over cooking the yolks.
