Great location, beside S station (s1and s11 from Karlsruhe). A block from old town, restaurants and shops.
Friendly and helpful staff. Pleasant room.
Did not use SpA facilities
Old world charm with beautiful modern rooms. Attentive staff and small personal touches. A delicious breakfast buffet and afternoon tea. The pool and spa area is very peaceful retreat. Look forward to staying at the ErbPrinz.
Luxury pure. This hotel is very clean and everyone so friendly. The breakfast was amazing. The pool and spa area was wonderful. You can relax and enjoy yourself. It’s close to the city and the tram. I can only recommend this hotel.

Very nice old place. The food was excellent with a good breakfast buffet. The staff was professional and helpful. Parking is available but we came by train. The stop is about 100 meters from the hotel. The restaurant food is expensive but worth it.

Like: SPA is amazing, big-ish pool with integrated jacuzzi, lots of beds, bar, free fruits, water and tea; nice saunas, clean 10/10, towels, chairs, beds. Massages are mediocre, don't expect anything wow. Restaurant is amazing, food is 8/10, service is impeccable, expect high end prices. Breakfast is probably one of the best in DE, cant complain, maybe add more vegetables and some more lactose free stuff, the made on spot omelettes are almost perfect. Bar is nice, smoking area, cigars shop, nice cocktails, expect high end prices here as well.
DON’T like: Rooms??? All of them… except maybe the high end ones - the suit style which are spacious, clean of course, big bathrooms. Tbh big and clean bathrooms have even smallest rooms. Pillows are terrible, just change them for Christ sake, they feel like a piece of cloth with nothing inside, feels like having nothing under your head. Mattress are almost as terrible but are manageable for 1-2 nights. Beds well depends on the room, the single business whatever rooms feels like you are staying in a hostel, student dorm rooms, smallest bed ever.
If you want to eat dinner at the hotel you have to make reservations way ahead of time. Being a hotel guest doesn't necessarily give you access to the restaurant, had to go elsewhere each night. Staff is not friendly
Schönes Hotel mit super Service, es gab Obst und Getränkte beim Empfang.

Ein 5-Sterne-Hotel, das vor 30–40 Jahren gewiss einen sehr gehobenen Standard hatte, ist inzwischen leider deutlich in die Jahre gekommen. Der Wellnessbereich ist jedoch modern und sehr schön. Die Fotos bei der Buchung sahen top aus, aber die Wirklichkeit ist ein bisschen anders.
Habe nicht das Zimmer bekommen, welches ich nach der Beschreibung des Hotels gebucht hatte.
Trotz Gehbehinderung hatte ich mehrere Treppen zu laufen.
Was toll war, dass Koffer auf das Zimmer gebracht und auch wieder geholt wurden.
Wir waren anlässlich der Küchenparty wieder im Erbprinz.
Es hat uns gut gefallen.
Besonders hervorheben möchte ich, dass es am Vorabend (vor dem Event) möglich gemacht wurde das wir im Restaurant essen gehen konnten, denn wir hatten keine Tischreservierung vorgenommen.
Bei der Abreise hatte ich meine Hose im Zimmer liegen gelassen.
Nachdem ich das zweite Mal angerufen hatte, ist Fr. Bellinski aufs Zimmer gegangen und hat nachgeschaut (Zimmer war noch nicht gereinigt).
Fr. Bellinski hat sich dann auch im die Zusendung meiner Hose gekümmert.
Vielen Dank für den hervorragenden Service.
Mycket bra hotell, fantastisk service, prisvärt. Gammalt men renoverat hotell där man behållit den gamla charmen. Fin trädgård där man kan sitta och njuta med familj och en drink
