Solingen is not well known as a tourist destination. Still, there are many nice museums and some decent restaurants. What might surprise even more is the amount of excellent foot and cycle paths. Especially for walkers relying on public transport to get to the starting point or return from the finish, Solingen provides an excellent combination of good urban bus services and very nice surroundings. The hotel itself is very close to public transport: only 5 minutes from a trolleybus stop (with a very frequent service at day time) and less than 15 minutes from the Central Station. Still the beautiful Ittertal is only a 15 minutes walk away. The only flaw is that the train passes the hotel so closely that it may keep you awake at night, although it didn't in my case. Anyway, even if awake the room is very comfortable, with even an nice couch to relax. There's also a minibar.
