Prize by Radisson, Erfurt City
It took over 40 min to process and receive my room card.There was no queue either,just indiffrence to the customer needs.I got finally to my room at quarter to 1 in the morning. The only good thing was close proximity to the train station. Literally 5min fast walk.

Hotel Alma Am Anger
A fabulous gem of a hotel with very helpful staff. Beautiful rooms, extremely comfy beds, nothing too much trouble (I ordered a kettle to make tea). Right in the centre of the old town - perfect location. Gardens within the court yard a delight. (NB Expedia - there isn't a swimming pool!)

Hotel Am Kaisersaal
NYX Hotel Erfurt by Leonardo Hotels
It’s a nice hotel but the room was not clean. There were many hairs on the bathroom floor, in the shower and on the toilet seat. I mentioned to reception at checkout and they just said “oh sorry”. I would have expected a much more adequate response ie can I get manger to speak with you or something ...

IntercityHotel Erfurt
What a terrible hotel! Unfriendly check in, horribly uncomfortable beds, a cupboard and bathroom that belonged to the 1960s and should have been left there itself.

Room was clean and quiet despite being off a busy street. Hotel location was perfect to be close to things in Erfurt.
