We were traveling on the Fairy Tale route and chose Alsfeld as our first overnight. We were so charmed by the town and the hotel. It's so quaint and authentically German and historic. There was plenty of parking (we parked right in front of the door actually) and the hotel was very close to the old town center. The front desk woman spoke English enough to help us through. The hotel isn't a modern Hilton, so don't expect that. We did have to walk up two flights of circular stairs, too, and there may not have been an elevator so that could be a concern. We had two single beds pushed together, which was fine, but the pillow was a little (or severly) understuffed. The bathroom was adequate, but typically smallish. No screens on the windows, so we had some bugs on a warm summer night, but that's also typical. And don't expect any English tv...all German, but kind of fun. Oh, and the wifi was really, really slow. Super slow. But! the free breakfast buffet was superb. I would recommend a night here if you stay in Alsfeld! We enjoyed our stay.
