The room was nice and clean, we found everything we needed for a one-night stay. The location was good too, walking distance from downtown. It would have been nice if there was a recycling bin in the room as well.

Lovely, friendly and comfortable older hotel

Easy to find in the middle of Kulmbach's central park. 7 minutes walk to a beautiful city centre. On a busy road, but very quiet once you're through the front door. Old fashioned, but we love old fashioned. Owner speaks perfect English. His family have owned the hotel for 140 years. (His suggestions for restaurants were both excellent.) The breakfast room has newly been updated. Breakfast really good with local produce. They have a guests' after-hours bar which we made full use of. Very handy for the bus to Bayreuth, Wagner fans! We will stay here again.

Ok für 1 Nacht

Wir waren dort für eine Nacht. Dafür war es ok. Der Empfang war etwas lustlos. Man wollte nicht wirklich dass wir Frühstück dazu buchen. Von außen ist das Hotel nicht attraktiv. Innen ist es besser. ABER dass die Heizung nachts im Juni läuft und man sie NICHT ausschalten kann ist ein Witz! Die Betten knallhart und super unbequem. Wir sind mit RÜCKENSCHMERZEN aufgewacht und waren froh dass wir nur 1 Nacht gebucht haben.
