“Great location and value for money.”
Location is perfect, in the old town of Erlangen, in the walking distance from main train station. The closest bus stop is just a few steps away. Hotel staff is very nice & polite. Hotel space (lobby, corridors, stairs) and rooms are small but in my case the room was newly renovated, with new furniture, comfortable bed, very clean room & bathroom. Breakfast was good, though with less variety of options. Great value for money.
