Can I check in late at night?

Is the Rudolf Steiner story true?

It is the house's own account: the building was Rudolf Steiner's home before it became a guesthouse.

About Alt-Weimar

Alt-Weimar is a small guesthouse that lets modern single and double rooms in a building with a considerably older story attached, and that hands you the door code instead of a receptionist: you can check yourself in at any hour of the day or night. Eating is settled downstairs, at the Erbenhof, which is in the same house.

A claimed link to Rudolf Steiner, 1995–2016

What makes this address worth a second look is the house's own claim that the building was Rudolf Steiner's home before it became a guesthouse, though it gives no date for that. What is dated is the conversion — a complete renovation in 1995 turned the building into a small guesthouse with a restaurant, and a second one in 2016 kept the original character rather than smoothing it away.

Arriving at an awkward hour

Self check-in around the clock is the practical reason to choose this house over one with a manned desk. If you are coming off a late train, or leaving before anyone would reasonably be awake, that removes the one thing that usually decides where you can stay.

Dinner is the Erbenhof

The guesthouse points its guests to the Erbenhof, the restaurant in the same building, which describes its cooking as a modern reading of Thuringian dishes. It is a place to sleep with a good restaurant attached, rather than a hotel with its own kitchen.
