Hotels Near Goldener Spatz in Erfurt

We stayed in this hotel on two separate nights bookending a trip to Frankfurt. This hotel is not - in our experience - typical of the Mercure brand. Far too often Mercure's are in good locations but somewhat rundown, tired and in need of attention. This is quite the opposite. It appears to have been wholly refurbished in the last five years, it is looked after. The hotel is conveniently situated near to both the old town and the main, new shopping area, both being no more than five minutes walk away. It is a ten to fifteen minute walk from the railway station or (for us) a €10 taxi ride. There is paid for car parking if required. This is a deceptively large hotel, the short frontage belies the fact that it has 141 rooms. The hotel stretches back from its frontage - we felt it was long and not very wide. It is spread over four floors and possibly an attic. We were on the fourth floor for our first visit and on the first floor for the second. Entry into the hotel from the street leads to a small reception area with ottoman seating. Screened from reception is a small bar and another soft seating area. The bar had elusive opening times - but seemed not to operate before 18:00 hours. Service was good. There is a restaurant that is not the breakfast room but that was not open during our stay with no sign of opening on the horizon. All public areas were clean, tidy and well maintained, albeit with a Alpine overtone! Access to the upper floors is via dedicated lifts or stairs depending upon the location of the room, with some rooms there is quite a walk to the lift. There is a small garden and paved area with seating. We saw no specific provision for disabled access but believe that the hotel is easy enough to negotiate. There is a separate breakfast room which works very well albeit it is not large. It is at the furthest end of the hotel from reception and bypasses some of the meeting rooms. Whilst these rooms were used during our stays we experienced no difficulties. We took breakfast early and the restaurant was never full or cramped. Breakfast is generous but prettty standard continental fare. Our first room (413) was a standard room and disappointing although it was clean and well cared for. Our second room however (136) was an upgrade and provided exceptional space and comfort for a reasonable price. Had we been able to satisfactorily understand the room descriptions and attributes on the website a room such as 136 would have been our preference. It had a large and comfortable double bed, a small seating area with table, a separate desk along with the usual accessories of a safe, TV, wifi etc. We didn't try the TV but everything else worked. There is no aircon but there is very effective radiator heating. We can imagine that opening the windows for some rooms would produce a great deal of street noise, but both our rooms were towards the rear of the hotel and quiet. There was no noise from the corridor or between roo

Ein schönes Hotel in der Altstadt und unweit der Krämerbrücke, einem Highlight in Erfurt. Der Parkplatz befindet sich in der Tiefgarage, wie überall ist auch hier die Zufahrt eher beengt und die Parkmöglichkeiten mit größerer Fahrzeugen erfordert etwas Geschick. Direkt von dort gibt es eine Möglichkeit zur Lobby zu gelangen. Unser Zimmer war im 1. STOCK..Schön eingerichtet,sehr sauber, allerdings hatte die Stirnseite des Bettes schon bessere Zeiten gesehen, Kunstleder. Die Matratzen waren gut. Es gibt eine Klimaanlage im Zimmer, wir haben allerdings das geöffnete Fenster vorgezogen. Das Frühstück am nächsten Morgen war sehr lecker 😋. Hier auch sehr aufmerksamer Service. Das Zimmer war bis 12.00 verfügbar. Unser Auto durfte bis 14.00 in der Tiefgarage bleiben. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Drei Tage waren wir im Hotel Weißer Schwan. Zimmer waren sauber, Betten gut. Auf Nachfage bekamen ein zusätzliches Kissen. Die Dame an der Rezeption war sehr freundlich. Minuspunkte: Wenn man nach einem langen Tag ins Hotel kam, bekam man leider nichts mehr zu trinken. Und das wäre so schön gewesen auf der schönen Terrasse! Das Restaurant ist wohl dauerhaft geschlossen, das sollte auf der Homepage kommuniziert werden. DAS Frühstück war ausreichend. Aber die kleine Wurstplatte mit in kleine Stückchen geschnittenem Schinken oder Wurst war unappetitlich und ziemlich dürftig. Wenn man um etwas Nachschlag z.B. von Salamiwurst (4 kl. Minischeibchen lagen auf der Platte!!) bat, wurde man gefragt, wieviel man haben wollte und es wurde auf einem Tellerchen gebracht. Vielleicht waren wir um 9 h die letzten Frühstücksgäste, aber man kann schon eine frische Wurstplatte und auch ungefragt Nachschlag erwarten. Auch nach Toastscheiben musste ich zweimal fragen. davon wurden dann auch 2 Stk. gebracht. Schade. Insgesamt finde ich das Preisleistungsverhältnis schlecht. In einem Hotel erwartet man Rundumservice. Zumindest eine Bar für abendliche Getränke. Der Titel Hotel Garni oder Pension wäre für dieses Haus treffender.

Needed a hotel to break up a trip after a long drive. Chose this hotel because I am usually a fan of the BW group in Germany. It did not disappoint. Only stayed one night but the room was well prepared and very clean. Bathroom was modern. Bed was comfortable. It also had a restaurant with a lot of choices for dinner and a great selection of foods for breakfast. Staff mostly spoke English and were very helpful.

a very nice hotel, in the center of Weimar. Polite and helpful staff. Room was splendid, Breakfast was great. I hope I’ll come back one day. and they have these little cards with quotes from Goethe, Schiller, etc. it‘s a nice touch. there‘s no room service

I stayed at the Labyrinth Hostel for four nights and wish I could have stayed longer! I felt very much at home there and especially welcome thanks to the friendly staff. I was in an eight-bed dorm with one to two other people so enjoyed generous amounts of space. For me the bed was comfortable and I slept well with no disturbances. The common areas were great for chilling out and chatting with other guests (both outside in the yard, and inside in the kitchen and dining area). Good selection of books in the book exchange. Kitchen was fine for preparing simple meals. Location of hostel great for seeing the sights, right by the historic centre of town. You can't park directly by the hostel but there is plenty of parking just a few minutes walk away. As for Weimar, definitely a great place to visit - important historically and especially if you are interested in Goethe and Schiller! Also liked Erfurt and especially Jena - nice towns in very attractive surroundings.

Beautifully located, close to the center (20 minutes walk). Comfortable, large building, parking. Large, comfortable rooms equipped with water heater! Large, clean bathroom . Very comfortable, large bed. Very diverse breakfast buffet and delicious coffee (very important for us). Nice service in reception and restaurant. I recommend!

Everything is very new and clean. The rooms are very large and even have a small kitchenette with complete dishwasher and high quality glasses. The bathroom is spacious and very individual and smily furnished; everything works without any problems. The beds and kitchens are very good. Breakfast is lovely prepared, there is broken coffee and out of the machine. Click small improvement suggestion: Croissants and/or sweet bakery would be beautiful. But all in all a very pleasant stay.
