Hotel berhampiran Gefallenen-Kreuz, Upper Franconia

Tolle Lage im Herzen von Bayreuth! Für das B&B Konzept ein sehr gutes preis-Leistungsverhältnis. Junges, kompetentes und hilfsbereites Hotelteam! Wir waren weit vor der checkin Zeit da und konnten unser Gepäck an der Rezeption sicher deponieren. Als wir dann ins Hotel gekommen sind, war das Gepäck schon auf die Zimmer gebracht worden. Grosser, sauberer, lichtdurchfluteter Frühstücksraum. Aufmerksame Mitarbeiter, die am Buffet sofort nachlegten. Schöne Brötchenauswahl! Fahrräder konnten sicher in einem Fahrradraum im 1. Stock abgestellt werden (Transport mit zu kleinem Aufzug erforderte akrobatische Fähigkeiten) Fazit: sehr zu empfehlen!!

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.

Except for the prices and the parking, which is a bit inconvenient due to the fact that every time you want to go out, you might need to call at the reception, since your car might be at the underground level, no further complaints.

We spent 2 nights at Hotel Rheingold so we could visit the sights. This was our first stay in Bayreuth even though we have ridden the Main bike path two times earlier. The hotel lies one block from the downtown pedestrian zone and one block from the large shopping mall. There is just an easy stroll to the Opera house and to the Neu Schloss. It would be much more of a walk to the Ermitage. The train station is about a 15 minute walk. The hotel has a secure bike parking closet in the basement garage. For cars the €7 daily parking fee seems good compared to other hotels we've stayed at. We were in room 302, a double room with king bed located on a corner of the building. When we arrived we were a bit concerned that the ac wasn't working. But within minutes the maintenance man showed up with the controller and got it up and running. He was evidentally checking the ac units in all the rooms on that floor. Otherwise the room would have been very hot. The room was clean and a reasonable size. The bathroom was also a good size, clean, and there was good hot water. We would have preferred just a shower, no bathtub, but that's just our preference. As others have noted the breakfast was great. There was hot eggs, bacon, sausage, a variety of fresh breads, cakes, and pastries, cereal, yogurts, fruits, etc. Hard to choose the best things to eat. We were quite happy with our stay.
