Best Western Hotel Geheimer Rat

If in town only for day or max two, then I'd say that good choice. Small and bit old, but rooms are big. Noise from street comes in like there is no windows, but luckily the streets around are not heavily crowded. Room, besides that it was big, was clean and cozy. less

This is a great hotel, check in was incredibly quick with no fussing about, the gentleman at the reception was brilliant even late at 10pm, rooms were very cosy, clean and beds were comfortable. There was no noise at night as the hotel is in a quiet location in the city centre. The only potential improvement would perhaps be to mention that the 'hotel parking' is tiny and not worth trying late at night. However, within 5 minutes we found a parking spot 2 mins walk away on the street that was free so there was no issue. Breakfast was excellent, lots of tasty food to choose from. Overall I would definitely recommend staying here. less

This is supposed to be a four star hotel but falls far short to the others we stayed in during our trip round Germany. On arrival the guy on reception was not too interested in the guests, no forthcoming help on how to find town, transport etc. He send to spend most of his time outside smoking. The setup of the hotel is quite old fashioned but it has a lift which is essential. The room and bathroom were of a reasonable size but tired, the curtains in the bathroom were ripped and the net curtain in the bedroom was hanging off the rail. Bit more thought needs to be put into the bathroom and blinds would be better rather than net curtains and ordinary ones. We thought we had booked our car into the garage but were informed we hadn't but there is also an area at back of hotel where you can park If lucky as it is very limited. Breakfasts were nice with good choice and we did decide to eat in one night, menu was limited but food was very nice. Bit more effort needs to be put in to warrant being a four star hotel. less

This is a really great hotel, situated in a quiet residential street of quality houses and apartments, within walking distance of the city centre. It is well appointed, lovely rooms and polite and helpful staff. We found that for the quality it is very reasonably priced. less

German literary heavyweight Wolfgang v. Goethe, who counted the title of "Geheimer Rat" (roughly: Privy Councilor) amongst his many honors, would have surely approved of this hotel, the name and interior of which makes reference to Goethe but stops short of actually calling out his name. Located in the leafy neighborhood of Magdeburg-Stadtfeld this historic building has nice, tastefully appointed yet functional rooms with good beds and enough natural daylight. The breakfast buffet is plentiful and the staff is friendly. Recommended ! less
