Hotel Alt-Erfurt

The breakfast was fabulous and a good price. The room was good but the bed was a little too hard for me and I could feel the springs close to the surface of the mattress. I was excited to see we had a balcony but we couldn’t use the balcony because pigeons used it as their roosting house. The wooden flooring displayed their permanent residency! I would stay again. It was a great position, very close 5 minute walk to the town or 3 stops on the tram, right outside the hotel. The main church cathedrals dels were amazing and the square below had a market daily. The historic walled Citerdal was next to the huge cathedrals and there were more churches and historic building in the fish market square only 200 m away. The best coffee is from Epitome cafe opposite the beautiful town hall. The town is close to a concentration camp and memorial from WW2 but you need a car to drive to their , about 20 minutes away. This town is a hidden gem to Australians. It’s a lovely place to visit. Great stop on way to the Bastei fels on the way to Dresden or Prague from Erfurt. Restaurants and food places were good.

I wished I’d been there to see the bike race a few days before.

The staff was friendly. The breakfast buffet was plentyful. The room was clean and modern with a comfortable bed.

Parking was available in the courtyard, but sometimes a little hard to get in and out off. But that couldn't be helped, since the yard was not very big, and not all the guests parked sensibly.
