Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Zeitwohnhaus, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the higher floors (above 5th floor) as the street noise from Luitpoldstraße can be noticeable, especially during rush hours. The hotel's elevator is located at the end of the floor, so rooms closer to the elevator may experience more noise from the lift and potentially more foot traffic.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the lower floors (1st to 3rd floor) as they may be closer to the street and potential noise from the Luitpoldstraße. Additionally, rooms near the service entrance or the bar area may experience more noise, but this is not explicitly stated and should be confirmed upon check-in.
Best views
The hotel's orientation and address on Luitpoldstraße suggest that rooms on the higher floors (above 5th floor) may have a view of the surrounding cityscape, but this is not explicitly stated and may vary depending on the specific room.

Top Attractions in Erlangen
