Best Western Blankenburg Hotel

I had a phenomenal experience in this hotel located in Coburg. I was attending a wedding rehearsal dinner at a nearby restaurant and the hotel was perfectly located to that venue but also the Castle and downtown area. Check-in was effortless and the front desk lady was beyond nice to me. She took the time to explain what was available at the hotel, show me around (I.e. elevators. Breakfast area etc) and have me some very useful tips as to how to get around town and see a few things in a minimal amount of time. I only had one afternoon to spare and was able to drive to the castle, visit everything and then head towards the downtown area for a couple hours stroll without any issue. My room was large, very clean and had everything one could wish for with a great view as well. The bathroom was also large and bed was very comfortable. There was plenty of storage and also a safe available. Now i noticed there was no AC but this can be common for more remote areas throughout Europe; it was a non issue as weather outside was mild and I could open 2 large windows for fresh air. My room was also very quiet. The breakfast was really good with great choices, fresh juice and coffee and strong selection of local breads and pastries. Checkout was also effortless and I was sent on my way back with thank you and a smile. Note that the hotel has outside free parking which is very convenient. So overall I had a great experience and would definitely recommend this hotel considering that it was also very affordable for the quality and service received. Also note that it’s not your typical Best Western you’d see in the US let’s say; it’s an older property that was purchased by the chain and has fortunately retained all its character ;) less

I took a taxi from the train station for the luggage, 6-7 Euro. The rest of my stay I walked to and from the hotel all around the charming city which isn't very big. There's a bus across the street if you prefer. Nice, spacious room, modern facilities, overlooking a garden. Excellent breakfast is extra. Very helpful Briggita found me the best transportation plan which I couldn't find on an internet search in English. Stayed there for a conference during the heat wave. The staff provided me with a ventilator. Like most European hotels of this level, they have no air conditioning. less

We stayed there the second time now. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The Breakfast is included and offers a great variety of sausages, cheese, fruits and rolls. The rooms are quiet (despite it is situated close to a main road), spacy and clean. The only thing we have to mention is that there was a intensive smell of urine in the restroom so that we had to open the window of the restroom all day long. There is a public swimming bath close by. The walking distance to the medieval plaza is to average out at about 10 minutes by feet. Parking is available in front of the lobby. less

They are a smallish hotel - but provide all one could ask for. Parking is a bit cramped. The place is clean, the staff is very helpful (found me a doctor to renew a prescription) and friendly. Breakfast is good and plentiful. Overall a good value. less

I found the Blankenburg Hotel to be a very pleasant surprise. The Hotel is very quiet and restful, it is close to the highway and within walking distance of the downtown pedestrian zones. The room is quite comfortable with the exception of the flat pillows typical of the European style. Breakfast was outstanding and the adjacent Restaurant served a very nice menu. Parking was free. less
