Set within a quietly imposing timber-framed building dating back to the 16th century, this hotel offers straightforward lodging with an old-world feel in Braunschweig’s historic center. The rooms, while modest and somewhat dated, provide an unpretentious retreat for travelers looking to explore the medieval attractions nearby.
Guests benefit from practical amenities such as free Wi-Fi and a morning breakfast included with the stay, adding to the convenience in a city best known for its heritage sites like the Burgplatz lion statue and Landesmuseum exhibits. The atmosphere reflects a rustic simplicity rather than luxury, with a notable charm found in its wooden beams and historic structure.
Despite some mixed reviews around bedding softness and bathroom size, the hotel’s location remains a key draw, offering easy access to Braunschweig’s famed cultural landmarks and public transport options. The attached restaurant “das Alte Haus” serves fine dining nearby, enriching the stay.

A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“It's a great place to stay at a great price. The price being at the center of my review. Rooms are going size, dated being a very old place which probably saw its update quite a few years back. It's centrally located. Check-in is via lockbox if you get in the afternoon and later, but worked well for me. Breakfast is on the humble side (but again place was inexpensive).”
“Simple hotel in old house from 16th century. Very steep steps might be difficult for people with handcap. Very small bathroom could have been more clean. Beds extremely soft. Breakfast was Ok but not more. Top location near city center.”
“It's closed after 1.00 pm. I arrived at this place 8.00 pm in evening main door was locked - nobody around. A bizarre situation for international traveller! Phone numbers, network don't work. Was helpless. You need to call someone on phone, to get the codes of boxes on door Which bear key for main door and hotel rooms. Gentleman from restaurant helped me to get that sorted out. No English translation or process was available. Otherwise hotel is good, attendant come in morning. All good people! Owner/attendant should improve on this and should call/contact guests coming that day for arrival time.”
