A large conference and leisure hotel on the edge of Goslar's UNESCO-listed old town, with an indoor pool and easy access to Harz National Park.
Hotel Der Achtermann sits on Rosentorstraße at the edge of Goslar's UNESCO World Heritage old town, within walking distance of the Marktplatz and the historic Kaiserpfalz, and positioned as a practical gateway to the Harz National Park for guests heading into the mountains. The hotel is large by Goslar standards, built to handle both conference groups and leisure travelers, with a functional exterior that prioritizes scale over old-town charm found closer to the Marktplatz itself. Rooms are offered in Standard, Comfort, and Suite categories, sized generously enough to suit families and groups traveling together for hiking or skiing trips into the Harz. The hotel's standout amenity is its indoor pool, paired with a sauna, giving it a wellness edge over smaller Goslar guesthouses and making it popular with families in wet-weather shoulder seasons. A restaurant and bar serve guests without needing to venture into the old town for a meal, useful after a long day on the Harz trails. Meeting rooms and event spaces support the property's secondary role as a conference hotel for regional business gatherings. A fitness area rounds out the wellness offering, and the paid parking garage is a practical convenience for guests arriving by car to explore the Harz region, since Goslar's old town itself restricts vehicle access. Service is efficient and group-oriented, geared toward handling both tour groups visiting the old town and independent travelers using Goslar as a base for Harz hiking, cycling, and winter sports.
