Hotel Review: Berg Und Jagdhotel Gabelbach, Ilmenau, Thuringia, Germany - June 2018.

The Berg-Und Jagdhotel Gabelbach is located in the forested hills just south west of the Thuringian town of Ilmenau. It was originally built as a luxury retreat for GDR officials, when Germany was divided into East and West, and when Ilmenau was under the control of the Soviet Union.

The hotel is of excellent quality, the room was large and comfortable, the breakfast was excellent, the staff were friendly, and most of them spoke enough English for me to get by with my limited German language skills. By far my favourite aspect of the hotel was the superb swimming pool, which was large and mostly empty.

I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a luxury place to stay near Ilmenau, however I would only recommend this hotel if you had your own car. Do be warned that it is a fairly expensive15 Euro taxi ride into the town centre, a 16 Euro taxi ride to Ilmenau train station, and a 20 Euro taxi ride to Ilmenau Technical University. Over the three days I was there, I ended up spending over 100 Euro on taxis (there are no cheap Uber cars in Germany). The other negative point I will make, is that I believe a hotel of this quality should have air-conditioning in the bedrooms, and unfortunately it didn't.

This film features external views of the hotel building, the hotel grounds, reception, lobby, lift / elevator, corridors, restaurant, bar, breakfast buffet, lunch items, the swimming pool and a detailed review of room 203.
