Reviews for Excelsior Hotel Ernst
not recomended place
truly intended to write positive things about the hotel—the excellent location, the quality of the rooms, and the overall impression. However, the experience at the hotel’s restaurant completely changed my view. What took place during that dinner made me feel that the hotel is not worthy of the compliments I had initially planned to give. The hospitality at the restaurant, in both my personal experience and in the way we were treated, was humiliating and degrading. It left us with a painful impression— not be truly welcome. The staff clearly had the discretion to seat us in the back room, isolated, like outcasts—giving us a disturbing and unforgettable feeling of exclusion.

The hotel was very well situated, the staff were excellent and very friendly. They went out of their way to help with requests. The decor was oldy worldly but again I like that type of feel.

Exceptional hotel with exquisite service
We had the most wonderful stay at Hotel Ernst! From the moment we walked in we were greeted warmly and received exceptional service. The reception staff helped us with an early check in as well as upgrades to gorgeous rooms. The rooms were quiet, spacious and well appointed. The amenities were lovely. We enjoyed the bar and the Hanse Stube restaurant, both of which were fantastic. We would absolutely love to stay again; it was just perfect.
