Friendly staff and clean modern room. Breakfast was the highlight with fresh product, quality bread and surprising options (bulgar salad, veggies, egg salad, …)
You see that all the staff puts great care and attention to detail. All for a very affordable price!
The breakfast and the personal at the breakfast was excellent, good food and very nice and pleasant staff !
Location and distance to the shopping center Arcaden was very good
Modern rooms, good breakfast, friendly staff... We enjoyed our stay. Only negative thing: the free drink for not having room cleaning only applies after 2 times
Overall the stay was quite nice. The room was pretty good (view could have been better). Check-in and Check-out were quite fast. Free coffee (24h) was a good extra
Hotel was near to bus stop, market area and restaurants. Room was small for a triple stay. Breakfast was same for all 5 times we had and with limited vegetarian options. They had changed their location I think as I went to a different premises 2 years back which was better.
The room was clean, cozy and inviting. The staff was very friendly, welcoming, and professional. The breakfast was absolutely amazing every day. We can't complain about anything. We recommended staying there if you're looking for a hotel close to down town Erlangen. Super close to all the shopping and dining that you could possibly ask for. Overall amazing time! They even have an opportunity to earn a free drink.
