The Property — Apart-Hotel
Apart-Hotel Weimar is a straightforward, no-frills self-catering base, not a boutique stay. The lobby is modern and minimal, with a small check-in desk and a board of local info. It's aimed at independent travellers who want a kitchenette, reliable WiFi, and a location a 10-minute walk from the town centre. The vibe is functional but clean, best for budget-conscious couples or solo visitors who plan to be out all day.
Chronicles of Weimar
Weimar was first documented in 899 AD, but its golden age came in the late 18th and early 19th centuries when Goethe and Schiller made it a centre of German classicism. After the First World War, the city became the birthplace of the Bauhaus school and, in 1919, the National Assembly wrote the Weimar Constitution here. Damaged in the Second World War and then rebuilt under East German rule, it is now a UNESCO World Heritage site. Modern Weimar balances its rich literary and architectural past with a small but lively university scene.
Best Time to Visit
Full Weimar guide →Best months
May, June and September: warm enough for outdoor cafes and park strolls, but not yet crowded with tourists or baked by summer heat.
Peak / festival surge
June (Weimar Summer Festival, open-air concerts), plus August for general summer travel. Hotel prices rise 15-25% and book out early for the festival weekends.
Budget shoulder season
Late April and October: milder weather (10-15°C), fewer visitors, and rates drop noticeably — good for hitting museums without the crush.
Weather & packing
Weimar's climate is continental, so late June can swing from 30°C sun to cool, showery evenings. Pack a light rain jacket and layer a t-shirt under a sweater.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Apart-Hotel, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the top floor (3rd floor) for a quieter stay. The lift serves all three floors, so you'll have easy access to your room, and the top floor is likely to be less prone to foot traffic and street noise from Prellerstraße.
Rooms to avoid
Rooms near the lift might be noisy due to its location and the potential for frequent use, especially if the hotel is fully booked. Also, rooms near the service entrance or any possible bar area might be affected by noise from staff or patrons.
Best views
Unfortunately, the hotel's address doesn't offer any notable views, being in a dense, historic area with several buildings surrounding it.
Quietest floors
The 2nd and 3rd floors are likely to be quieter due to being higher up and less prone to street noise from Prellerstraße.
🔊 Noise notes
Prellerstraße is a busy street, and the hotel's location means you might hear some street noise, especially if you're on the ground floor or 1st floor. However, the hotel's historic building shell and location in the Altstadt suggest that noise levels might not be excessive.

Take advantage of the free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel, with speeds averaging 30 Mbps, making it suitable for general browsing and communication. If you're driving, consider the Parkhaus Goetheplatz public car park, a 5-minute walk away, which charges €12 per night. This might be a more convenient option than seeking out alternative parking sites.
