The hotel was easy to find and we were lucky to get a parking space next to the biergarten of the Greek restaurant on the bottom floor of the hotel. The hotel has a buzzer on the door to get in and when you get a room key there is a fob on it to use to get in the door. There is no lift so you need to carry your luggage up to the first floor where the reception is. We had booked a superior double room which luckily was on the first floor so no more stairs. The landing is completely decorated in amazing antique furniture, clocks and ornaments. Everytime I walked along I spotted something else. The room was a good size with antique furniture, beautiful hardwood floor, a lovely big bathroom with toiletries, hairdryer and a corner bathtub with shower. When you went through the doorway to the bathroom there was a patio door leading onto a small balcony with patio furniture. There was really no view as it just looked onto the back of the hotel but it was nice to sit out as it was really hot. The hotel sits on the main road so we were glad of our room at the back as it was very peaceful and we had a great night's sleep until 6.30am. Unfortunately there was building work going on next door and that's when the workers start in the morning but as we were there on an overnight stay and were planning to leave about 8 it didn't bother us too much. There isn't a great deal around the hotel except the Battle of Nations monument in a huge park about a 5 minute walk up the road. It's worth a visit just to see the sheer size of the monument. We had breakfast in the morning which was only 7 euros and the breakfast room itself was adorable. Plenty to look at while eating a very tasty cold breakfast buffet.

“Nice little Hotel”

As always we booked to late for our weekend-trip to Leipzig. We finally found a small room in this small hotel. First of all: you have to like old buildings, narrow stairs and old furniture (with their sometimes grumpily old smell) to enjoy your stay in this hotel (you get what you booked), which we did. The hotel is located at a busy street and a tramline, a few hundred metres from the Völkerschlacht Monument. The tram-timetable is convenient for all your touristy tours to the city centre. It´s in an old building and the first thing after rinnging the bell is to climb up to the first floor and then to one of the higher floors with all your luggage. The welcome - although late - was very friendly. Our room was very small, the bed was in a corner (not so comfortable), but summing up: it was nicely furnished, quiet (as we asked for) and clean. There are no specials in the room (only towels and soap, maybe a hairdryer - but I don´t remember), but on our corridor was a buffet with snacks (salty, sweet) and something to drink (alc. and non-alc., coffee, tea ...) you could take (fill out a small memo with roomnumber and what you took). The breakfast-room had a view to the Völkerschlacht-Monument and was just lovely (sorry). We enjoyed the breakfast buffet and I got - as booked - my glutenfree bread. To our surprise a handicapped woman in a wheelchair enjoyed her breakfast together with her husband - so, maybe there is an elevator somewhere or I don´t know: ask the hotel staff before booking. The staff was very fiendly and helpful and we enoyed our stay at the Antikhotel in Leipzig. We would go there again, but that time we would try to get a larger room.

“Nice hotel but with parking problems”

On arrival, I asked if I had parked my car correctly as the Hotel shares a car park with the Greek Restaurant in the same building and we planned in any event to eat in this restaurant.

On arrival, I asked if I had parked my car correctly as the Hotel shares a car park with the Greek Restaurant in the same building and we planned in any event to eat in this restaurant. I was told that it was OK but, when leaving the next morning, was dismayed to find that my car had been damaged by a careless restaurant employee. The restaurant owner (and/or his insurer) refused to admit liability for the damage. Although the Hotel tried to resolve the problem, I hold them partially responsible as they knew exactly where I had parked. If using this Hotel, best not to bring a car and best to avoid the Restaurant. I suppose its a case of "beware of Greeks bearing ...hammers"
