The Hotelchen am Theater is an old-fashioned type of B&B or pension. It is family run and very friendly. The building and the rooms are charming, and make you remember that you are really in a small town in Bavaria and not in a generic hotel. It is located in the semi-pedestrianized Altstadt, so is very quiet. Breakfast is served on a communal table, and includes a selection of bread, cheeses and cold meats, and cute little bowls with a variety of jams.
Thank you very much Ariel C.!
Yours, Hotelchen am Theater
more a bed and breakfast than a hotel, 'hotelchen' is centrally located in erlangen. charming rooms, nice staff and a really tasty breakfast at a long table which brings you if you like it or not in contact with the other guests. always a good choice.
Thank you Lisa H!
This is more of a B&B rather than a hotel. Very centrally located and cutely quaint, just steps away from Erlangen's city center. It was my first time so there were some things I hadn't expected: 1) they have Wifi but one gets 24-hr access codes so, unless you want to get a new one all the time, you log off the Wifi all the time, which is unnecessarily cumbersome. 2) There's just one large-ish breakfast table so it's very social - you can't really have breakfast 'on your own'. 3) It's an old building so one can hear a lot from upstairs or next door. The service is great, the staff is very friendly and helpful.
Dear Robertzimbardo,
thank you very much!
We are glad to let you know that we changed the Wifi into a new very simple way!
We stayed here for four nights in July and had a really good time. The hotel is located right in the centre of town with restaurants and pubs just down the road. It is a really quirky hotel and you feel more like you are walking into somebody's home. The rooms are situated off a court yard and you can sit outside in the summer. The rooms themselves are very small though and the bathrooms not much bigger. Perfect if you are out and about all day but if you are planning on staying in your rooms for long periods it can get a little chlaustrophobic as there isn't really anywhere else to sit in the hotel - other than outside of course.
However the hotel is right next to the Schlossgarten which is a lovely park so you can always take a stroll through the park.
Breakfast if great and is upstairs in the main house where you are greeted by a giant dog called Belu - he is very sweet though and keeps himself to himself.
All in all a very nice hotel in a great location. Oh price wise it was okay. Erlangen isn't cheap for hotels so it wasn't bad.
have a nice stay.
thank you so much!
Hotelchen am Theater is an amazing and miraculous place. Located in a historic building from the 1750ies it has been family run since 1977.
It is central and so charming, that a stay there is the highlight of any visit to Erlangen.
For breakfast guests share a large table which makes for a lot of interesting exchanges and information.
The hotel is perfect for any traveler who is fed up with waking up in yet another town, facing the same same nondescript rooms.
Thank you very much blauemadeleine! your rating really makes us happy!
