Super hotel, located just on the outskirts of the old town. Staff really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very reasonably priced and plenty to choose from. Our room was spacious and very nicely decorated. Absolutely nothing to complain about. No parking available at the hotel, but there is an underground parking area couple of hundred metres away. The restaurant was closed while we were there.
The location of the hotel was superb. It was within walking distance to the old town, and right next to a supermarket and a bakery. The price of the room was also very reasonable. However, the cleanliness needs to be improved. There was some hair on the quilt cover and on the pillow.
Das einzig Positive:Die Lage, rund 300 m vom Bahnhof entfernt. Das war es aber auch. Liegt direkt an einer Haupteinfallsstraße, entsprechend immer Verkehr. Obwohl ich extra ein ruhiges Zimmer bestellt hatte, bekam ich eins zur Straße. Fenster lassen sich zwar öffnen, ist aber auf Grund des Lärms nicht zu empfehlen. Das Bad war winzig, insgesamt vielleicht 2,5qm. Deshalb hatte auch die Dusche keine Tür, so dass jedes Mal - da kein Höhenunterschied - das ”Bad” quasi geflutet wird. Bett mega hart, Kopfkissen unbequem, Zimmer der Größe des Bades entsprechend. 2 Personen mit Koffer passen dort nicht wirklich rein. Tapeten hätten drigend eine Generalüberholung nötig, sind sowieso schlampig verarbeitet. Man merkt dem Hotel an, dass es sehr in die Jahre gekommen ist. Once in a Lifetime, für mich nie wieder.
Our key criteria for choosing a hotel in Bamberg were: ease of road access (not desire to get caught up in the city centre traffic), safe car parking (we had our bikes on the back of the car) and an air conditioned room. The Kongresshotel met these requirements totally. English speaking reception staff were helpful and friendly and completed the checki-in process quickly. On arrival at our room we realised that the bathroom had a shower over a bath which these days is not our favourite choice - definitely prefer the safety of a walk-in shower. So we went straight back to reception to see if there were any rooms with walk-in showers. Unfortunately we were advised they did not have any. I have to admit this is might fault for not checking prior to booking! The suite was a reasonable size with a separate seating area; one settee and a one armchair. Neither were particularly comfortable but adequate for the limited time we would be on the room. The free- minibar was well stocked with soft drinks and two beers and was replenished daily - didn't expect that. The aircon worked reasonable well but I think it might have struggled if the weather had been any warmer. The room was a little tired in terms of decoration but perfectly clean. We owe an apology to the cleaning lady; the path outside the hotel (next to the river) is fine grit. Despite wiping our shoes on the entrance doormat, we clearly walked some of the grit into the lounge area of the room! So we soon learnt to take off our shoes and leave by the door. A shoe tray by the door might be a welcome addition? The breakfast buffet had plenty of choice and there were plenty of tables available....until we got to our last morning. Oh, were we in for a shock. We came down for breakfast at about 0900 expecting to see the usual near empty room only to find it was absolutely heaving with people - I guess multiple conferences on at the same time? There were even additional tables laid out in the reception area. After spending 5 minutes trying to find a table we gave up and decided to come back 45 minutes later. We did eventually get one but it was still very crowded. We did wonder at the time it there should have been a segregated area for hotel guests but I guess it's not practical to do that and could result in some tables being under utilised. While we were staying as 'tourists', this hotel makes a perfect location for meeting and conferences. Multiple large rooms available which appeared to be well kitted out (obviously we didn't go in but just looked through the door) and plenty of space to meet/chat outside of the conference rooms.
ゲゲストVery functional hotel reminiscent of a UK travelodge being very clean, good comfy beds but no frills. Good wi-fi. It is located a fair walk outside of the centre but is situated very well for buses into and out of town including late night buses. Most buses finish early before 6/7pm. As we were staying 4 nights we bought a 7 day mobi-card for 2 people for €15.20 unlimited travel which is excellent value, but you have to purchase via a ticket machine as not available as an e-ticket on line. One criticism is the lack of a net curtain in bedroom, having a floor to ceiling window was like living in a goldfish bowl which could have frightened the neighbours first thing in the morning had we not been careful. The shower was good except that it could not be adjusted for height but could be hand held. Stating the hotel has a bar is a little optimistic as it consists of the hotel receptionist with beer and two bottles of wine, red or white. However I recommend you try the beer just for the sheer entertainment factor seeing it being ‘poured’. Overall we enjoyed staying at this hotel and would consider staying again as long as we remembered to pack a net curtain.
Very clean with an excellent breakfast included. Close to the railway station with a 15 minute scenic stroll into the Altstadt. We were comfortable with the unusual layout - refer to the pictures with the sink and shower beside the bed. But the total lack of storage - a cupboard, drawers or even a shelf/stand to put your suitcase on - was very frustrating. We have stayed in multiple budget accommodations and never had this problem before. We would not stay here again.
