“Great value for money in a super quiet yet well located area.”
The property is in a quiet area, but still really well connected to the main tourist cities. Bamberg, Nuremberg and Würzburg are easy to reach by car or public transport. We took the train to these places, and the station was only about an 18-minute walk away, or a short bus ride from the property. We booked two rooms, and both were recently renovated, really nice, comfortable and quiet.

“nice simple hotel not far from the city centre. Practical for an overnight stay”
The hotel is conveniently located not far from the city centre. We booked several rooms and the ones on the bottom floor had just been renovated and were really nice. The staff was really friendly and helpful.

The WiFi did not work in my room. The breakfast is also not worth it.

“Nice lil hotel”
Great value for money, we needed last minute accommodation and minus a lil wait to check in early evening due to reception desk being unstaffed, eveything else was perfect.

“Nice clean hotel rooms with a generally good stay”
The hotel was easy to find and the front desk was nice. He gave clear checkin instructions to us. The first impression of the hotel and rooms are really good. It’s small but clean, organized. We had a nice stay there.

“OK if you just need a place to sleep, but poor internet and parking not always available”
Simple hotel, nothing fancy, but value for money. Breakfast was good, choice of bread and dairy, eggs, juice, all OK. Some tables outside, which was nice to get some fresh air. Good if you just need a place to sleep and breakfast.

“Clean, functional, in need of some more love/investment for the price.”
Location was great - very quiet, near where we needed to be and not difficult to find - good road signs directing us to the hotel. Parking was easy and it was spotlessly clean throughout the hotel. Fantastic water pressure in the shower. Comfy bed. Courteous member of staff - if slightly out of his depth.
