Pension Zur Kutscherstube

TBH I don't know how to rate this, as we loved it here (stayed 4 nights) but I can understand it wouldn't be to everyone's taste. Our room was fine and the ensuite was of a wet room style. Breakfast was ok, but very, old fashioned German style and the rolls weren't fresh every day, but it was adequate and at €100 per night for a triple room we didn't expect caviar and champagne. The communal areas are like an old DDR Museum and a free blick into the areas Cold War past. Others have mentioned the owner's attitude and the cigarette / cigar smell. The patriarch ( Grandad) is indeed an acquired taste, but we didn't find him offensive, the rest of the family are fine, but struggle with English; so I can understand that if you have no German (or Russian) Comms won't be easy. And yes, smoking is allowed in the communal areas; which if you can't accept then avoid.

A friendly word of warning before you book this hotel. The small communal kitchen area outside our room smelled strongly of cigarettes, which found it’s way into our room - fine if you are a smoker (we are not). The pillows and bedding are very thin, however to be fair we did sleep ok. Although there is limited choice of accommodation in Colditz town, I am sure there are better but more expensive options; I suppose as always, you get what you pay for.
