The hotel has a great location, being close to both the railway station and a nearby brewpub, which made it super convenient.

I had a pretty good stay at this hotel. The location is excellent, being close to central Erlangen and its attractions. The breakfast was rich and high-quality, which I really enjoyed. However, the rooms were a bit tricky to access due to the stairs, and I think it would be challenging for anyone with heavy luggage or mobility issues. Overall, it's a decent option for the value, but worth considering the accessibility aspects.
