The Property — Höhe 304
A clean but slightly worn 3-star in Weimar’s southern edge, within a 1960s concrete block that a new owner tried to soften with wood accents and leather sofas in the lobby. The USP is quiet garden views and on-site parking, rare for Weimar. The vibe is functional, not charming — suited to cost-conscious couples or touring cyclists who want a base, not atmosphere.
Chronicles of Weimar
Weimar was a modest Thuringian town until 1775, when Goethe moved here and turned the court into Germany’s cultural powerhouse. The Bauhaus school born here in 1919 radicalised architecture worldwide, and the 1919 National Assembly drafted the Weimar Constitution in the local theatre. Today the city steers a careful identity between its classical heritage and the shadow of Buchenwald, 8km north, balancing UNESCO tourism with quiet university life.
Best Time to Visit
Full Weimar guide →Best months
May, June, September — warm enough for café terraces without the July-August crowds, and garden festivals fill the parks.
Peak / festival surge
May (Spring Festival & Kunstfest previews) and October (Weimarer Zwiebelmarkt, 200k+ visitors) push hotel rates up 30-50%. Höhe 304 tends to sell its cheaper rooms first in these windows.
Budget shoulder season
April and October (non-festival weeks) offer 15-20% discounts, mild afternoons (12-16°C), and half-empty galleries.
Weather & packing
June brings sudden thundery downpours after bright mornings — expect 14-23°C and light evenings. Pack a waterproof shell, not an umbrella, and always one long-sleeved layer for cool post-storm air.
Live City Briefing — Weimar
- Höhe 304 is 400m from the main train station, but tram line 1 to the city centre is currently rerouted via Erfurter Strasse until September 2026 due to track replacement — allow 10 extra minutes.
- The Goethe National Museum’s main building reopens in late May 2026 after two years of roof and ventilation renovation; no disruptions by late June.
- Weimar’s UNESCO-listed ‘Classical Weimar’ ensemble is fully accessible, but the Bauhaus Museum enforces timed-entry slots in summer — book online three days ahead to avoid hourly queues.
Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Höhe 304, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request room 101 for accessibility (widened door, roll-in shower) or any south-facing room on the 1st floor for quiet and garden views. Upper-floor rooms (2nd–4th) facing the garden or rear courtyard avoid street noise from Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the 4th floor directly under the roof (if any) – may be warmer in summer and have lift noise. Also avoid rooms facing Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße (likely odd-numbered) due to traffic sound; the street is a through road, not a quiet lane.
Best views
South-facing rooms on floors 2–4 offer views over the garden and green belt toward Tröbsdorf. The front (north) side overlooks the street and car park – no real view. The property is on a suburban edge, so no cityscape.
Quietest floors
Floors 1–3, ideally facing the rear garden or courtyard. The lift serves all 4 floors and both wings, but 2nd or 3rd floor rooms set back from the lift are quietest.
🔊 Noise notes
Traffic from Kaiser-Friedrich-Straße is the main source – a local distributor road with buses and trucks. The on-site car park (12 spaces) causes arrival/departure chatter from 7am–10pm. No bar or service entrance noise noted (3-star suburban hotel).
Insider tips
1. Book the on-site parking in advance – only 12 spaces; otherwise use Parkhaus Frauenplan (€15/24h, 10 mins walk). 2. Ask for a room on the 2nd or 3rd floor facing the garden – these are the quietest and likely have a desk (typical for a 3-star hotel). 3. Check-in uses room number + password for Wi-Fi– write it down, as the signal is reliable but login resets daily.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
