Hotel berhampiran Stadtgalerie Bamberg, Bamberg

This hotel was a wonderful place to stay. It is in a very convenient location, has good, large rooms, very friendly and helpful staff, and a wonderful room for breakfast. It was quiet, the view from our room was pleasant enough, the bed was large and comfortable, and the wifi worked well. If I had to find something that was not as good as possible, I would note that on our second night the air-conditioning system started dripping - but the manager set off to fix it as soon as we reported it in the morning.

Perfectly located adjacent to the Altstadt (a five minute walk) on Langestrasse, a lovely shopping street, with an old brewery across the street. Rooms are tasteful and nice sized, and it's quiet and pleasant to return to for the night. Highly recommended.

Excellent hotel, rooms are good in size. Very well maintained. Good location and very good breakfast spread. Market , pubs within walking distance. Good overall experience. Indian restaurants are within walking distance.

Wir haben eine Tagung über 2 Tage im Hotel National durchgeführt und haben eine hervorragende Betreuung durch das Hotel erfahren. Unkompliziert, persönlich und zugewandt wurden alle unsere Wünsche und Bedürfnisse erfüllt. Die Verpflegung war ausgezeichnet. Die Räumlichkeiten und der Sanitärbereich waren sauber und gepflegt. Wir haben uns spontan entschieden, unsere Tagung im nächsten Jahr wieder im Hotel National durchzuführen.

In an old expansive palais a wonderful grand hotel close to the center. The rooms are lovely and luxurious and the restaurant was cozy and delicious. A great place to spend a weekend or more to see the area. Parking is onsite and breakfast can be served in your room, which I love.

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.
