On arrival, I was greeted by a parking person telling me to go park somewhere else if I was going to stayin the hotel; he wanted the parking lot for lunch reservations. Stilled parked there and checked in. Found the rooms to need paint, carpets old and in generla not up to the standard the hotel wants to present. On... More

Erbprinz in Ettlingen is the classical German upper-middleclass Hotel. They do everything to make you feel comfortable, the hotel is extremely well run and I've never discovered one single unfriendly or incompetent employee. AAA rating with regard to Service Quality and comfort. It's also the place where you can make extended studies about the Germans and their behaviour - if... More

Do not even bother looking anywhere else when in Ettlingen. This hotel has masses of character, is in the centre of town. Awesome breakfasts. As other posts confirm, rooms vary. Book early, it gets full weeks in advance. Enjoy!

Only stayed one night for business but the main drawback for this hotel was that my room had a single bed. As I was only staying a night I didn't ask to be moved - it was almost funny seeing the small bed but I wouldn't expect this of any decent hotel. Also the bar allows smoking which is not... More

The Erbprinz makes a big deal of being very high-class, and it meets these claims in many respects - the staff are very friendly, helpful and accomodating.

I stayed in the hotel for 3 days just after Christmas. The food was fantastic - great breakfast and really tasty dinners in a hotel's restaurant. The service was excellent as well, so was the spa. The rooms were pretty average though - the rooms lack character and the TV must have been 15 years old. They are very clean... More

When we are in Ettlingen on business, this is the favorite place to stay. It is very popular and can be tough to get in, so either book early or try to get on the waiting list and check again a couple fo days before arrival. The staff are consistently friendly and the breakfast, included in the price, is worth... More

We spent a one night stopover here whilst driving back to the uk from Austria and were really pleasantly surprised at what a lovely place this was in a really pretty town. The bedroom was large with a comfortable bed, good air con but the en suite was quite small, and the room lacked character with no pictures with dark... More

Have stayed here several times and everything is always great. Comfortable rooms have been nicely updated. The staff is always very helpful. The breakfast buffet is one of my favorites globally! Really fantastic!
