Hotel Schwarzes Kreuz

Easy to find on Konigstrasse on the edge of the Altstadt & less than 15 minutes’ walk from Furth train station. I arrived at 12:20 & was pleasantly surprised to be told that my room was ready. A very quick & friendly check in & I was soon up the stairs (no lift) to my second-floor room. My room, no.206, was ok size wise for a single room. It was clean & fresh with a carpet floor, single bed, wardrobe, safe, coffee machine, work desk & chair, wall mounted tv, electric fan, luggage rack, mirror, smoke alarm, spare electrical sockets & a minibar (photo attached). The window gave me a great view over the outdoor terrace & meant the room had an abundance of natural light. I had no issues with noise from inside or outside of the hotel. The complimentary Wi-Fi was quick to connect to with no password required, had quick speeds & was consistent. It auto reconnected immediately on returning to the hotel. There was no iron or ironing board in my room & so I requested both during breakfast. When I returned to my room 15 minutes later both had been delivered to the room. My bathroom was small but ok for a solo traveller. It was bright & clean with a tiled floor & walls, window, radiator, hairdryer, 2 spare electrical sockets, large mirror, bottle of liquid soap, shower enclosure, shower head & hose on a riser rail, easy to control shower valve with great water pressure & an abundance of hot water, shower gel in a wall mounted dispenser, one hand towel, one bath towel & one floor towel. Breakfast was served from 07:00 to 10:00. I went down at 09:00 & had no difficulty getting seated. Continental buffet, there was a great selection of excellent fayre with croissants, bread rolls, cheeses, salamis & cold meat slices, smoked salmon, yoghurts, salad, fruit cocktail, cereals, boiled eggs, pates, Nutella, honey, jams, apple & orange juices, multivitamin drink, mineral water, teas & coffees. The hotel has a lovely outdoor terrace where it was easy to relax whilst enjoying a beer or coffee whilst taking in the strong sun beaming down. There is a small lounge in the foyer, next to the reception desk, with a tv & a couple of sofas. I had some time to kill before my train & left my luggage at reception from where it was placed in the complimentary secure left luggage area. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone visiting Furth for a night or two & plan to return there myself in late 2023.
