Great location - easy walk to the railway station and many of the attractions. Our room was really quiet, clean and although small it had plenty of storage space for our belongings. Very nice staff at the reception. …

We had a wonderful stay in the city of Erfurt. The service and accommodation at the Best Westin Excelsior were very good. The buffet breakfast is tasty and varied enough to ensure most tastes are catered for. Friendly and helpful staff. Herr Le was our favorite.

Staff were very pleasant but there was very little English spoken. |As in many hotels we stayed in Germany, there was only one black tea bag in a double room meant for two people! Very strange. …

We picked this hotel exclusively because of the hotelbar. Their website says: Opening hoursOpen daily from 06:00p.m - 12:00 midnight. The same is said on the booking site. But they failed to mention that Its closed on mondays.We visited them on a Monday and had a sad experience which the hotel should have protected us against by mentioning it. (Although the staff is, very, very friendly)

As we were touring Germany by train it was essential to find a good hotel close to the railway station; this hotel is less than 5 minutes walk. It offers good sized rooms with comfortable beds and a sufficient breakfast. …
