At the world-famous Elephant Weimar Hotel- a rendezvous of international poets, artists, intellectuals, and statesmen for more than 300 years. Reside in the heart of Weimar, the \\\city of the classics\\\" at the place where Goethe, Schiller and Bach once laid down their heads to rest. A place that received a literary tribute from Thomas Mann when he wrote \\\"Lotte in Weimar.\\\" The award-winning gourmet restaurant, Anna Amalia, embodies its discerning philosophy on life. The soft leather armchairs that furnish the wood-panelled library are the perfect place to enjoy a digestif or fine cigar in front of an open fire, surrounded by a fondly compiled collection of books and music. Located on the historic marketplace, as it has been for the last 300 years, the Hotel Elephant\\\'s present address at Markt 19 was mentioned for the first time in historical documents in the year 1542. All the famous sights of Weimar are within easy walking distance."
Advantages: Beautiful nemly renovated medivial city Disadvantages: none
...Apart from being the capital of the state of "Thüringen" (Thuringia), Erfurt is right in the heart of the "Thüringer Wald" (Thuringian forrest). The city was founded around 742 and is one of the most beautiful cities in the former GDR (East Germany). With compliment to Ryanair you can fly there from London without any problems. Accommodation is genearlly quite cheap as there is a youth hostel (bookable via http://www.jugendherberge.de) or for the more demanding travellers a number of cheaper hotels, such as Ibis Hotel.

Advantages: Central location Disadvantages: In need of refurbishment
...Once upon a time this hotel was special. The public areas have been designed in a chic, modernist style that was fashionable a decade ago. Sadly however, time has marched on and the hotel has not.
If you need to be in the middle of Munich, the Elephant fits the bill being a safe, 5 minute walk from the Hauptbahnhof. Like many central stations, a red-light area is all around, but not intrusively so in the case of Munich.
The facilities offered by the hotel are adequate, with a decent buffet-style breakfast and net access available in the lounge. The rooms themselves have minimal facilities.
The thing that really lets the hotel down is the state of cleanliness in the room. Clearly my room was being cleaned every day, but the fixtures and fittings had been left in situ for far too long. Carpets were filthy, tiles were cracked, toilet...

Advantages: Unusual find in middle Europe Disadvantages: None
...If you are looking for an easy yet different weekend away from London, then Erfurt might be your answer. In short - stunning architecture, very friendly people, and good food and drink (you pay in Euros the equivalent of what you might pay in pounds in London.)
This is one of the undiscovered gems of Germany and a weekend break destination par excellence. Don't rush to Weimar, just down the road - overrated, in my opinion, and a bit dull - Erfurt is the kind of place that you can spend time in and feel you never want to return from.
(One puzzling observation - there are a curiously large number of shoe shops for a city this size... plus, they still have a Woolworth's store with pride of place on the main drag - something we haven't seen in the UK for over twenty years... and C and A is still, by the looks of it , the place...

I first heard the incredibly catchy noisemaking of Tokyo Police Club on American digital radio, so catchy were the quirky beats and lyrics in fact that after listening to one or two more songs I was compelled to go ahead and buy the debut album. I'm glad more
My impressions of this game when I saw it advertised on the internet was that it looked like a completely different type of game that I'm used to seeing for the DS.
