I mean the main reason to stay here is the proximity to all things Leica, however it’s a nice place on its own. Special shout to Omid in Oskar’s for being so great. Would love to come back again.

As a fan of Leica cameras, a trip to Wetzlar to see the Leica museum was a bucket list item of mine. Staying in the Ernst Leitz hotel, was amazing! It was very clean with a lot of character. The room itself was very spacious and the staff was very accommodating. In my opinion, photographers MUST visit the museum, and stay at this hotel.

Location is great it is right next to Leitzpark, it is a must go place for Leica fans. Service of staff is alright. Room is clean and neat, but the pillow is so flat, quality is average. It is best if you drive if staying at this hotel

If you are going for Leica visit, this is the best hotel you can get for. Overall experience is good with this price. You are getting decent room size. But the pillow is so flat, even you have 3 pieces together. It is still flat and not comfortable.

This was the best hotel so far during our two-week trip to various cities in Germany. My friends and I were photography fans so we tried staying at this hotel which located within the Leica global headquarters campus. There was a Leica museum right across. The hotel though is remotely located away from downtown Wetzlar but one can take a taxi from the Wetzlar train station for an average of 15 euros. The hotel can also call a taxi for you if you want to go to downtown.

Charching area electrical vehicles should be much bigger.
2 chargers for 100 rooms are peanuts. or make an hourly rate, so people move the car after charging!

Poor Customer Listening
The hotel looks good.
However, the staff is not willing to listen the customer when issues happen.
Especially, the internet connection was so unstable, that I had to reconnect several times during the video calls I had.
The answer from the hotel is that this is their 'normal behaviour', this is it.

Zimmer und Bad waren sehr geräumig und alles war sehr sauber. Sehr freundliches Personal. Große Auswahl und gute Qualität beim Frühstück. Das Bett war mir eine Spur zu hart.
