Gästehaus Leipzig

A unique property with its own fascinating, and sometimes dark, history. The design of the building is strikingly elegant. For the first time, I enjoyed a hotel room with a ten-foot ceiling, casement windows and four-ply toilet paper (good for wiping or a rough draft of your memoirs. The staff was friendly and attentive. I was made to feel at home. P.S. Do not scrimp on the breakfast buffet.

Beautiful villa (former Polish consulate), in green and posh area. It felt as if we were part of postwar movie. Somebody in the house was regularly playing the piano, fantastic and moving music, around 8 pm. Huge room, with a seating area and big bathroom. We had work at the Hochschule für Buchkunst, which we could see from our window, just 50 mt away. Only 3 tram stops from station. Around the corner, deeper into the Musikviertel, there are many restaurants. And Backstein, a wonderful bakery with outdoor seating around the corner. Plus the Gallery for Contemporary Art around the same corner. And I had a run early morning in the Clara Zetkin park. All very pleasant and we felt very much at home.

Great location, a bit noisy with windows open. No A/C.

Lovely building in a quiet area among embassy’s and other landmark buildings, almost seems like a small embassy itself. Staff were very unobtrusive after providing my key and showing me my room. Calm, quiet but very well located.
