Hotel berhampiran Judenfriedhof, Upper Franconia

Das Hotel liegt am Rand von Coburg, ca. 20 Minuten Fußmarsch zur Innenstadt. Das Hotel an sich ist ok, leider war bei mir das Personal (Empfang und Service) nicht optimal. Bei der Reinigung bin ich mir nicht sicher ob sie täglich gemacht wird, da man am Boden Schmutz von mehreren Tagen sehen konnte. Ich war auch mehrere Tage da. Vom Service und der Freundlichkeit ”kackt” das Vienna Easy in Cobrug gegen das Haus z.B. in Günzburg komplett ab.

I stayed at this hotel numerous times when it was under the Romantik Hotel umbrella. It has since changed hands, and it shows. I should start with a positive. The staff is excellent. Unfortunately, the front desk is not staffed until 3:00. The rooms are beginning to look very shabby. The bathrooms are still great. There are sodas and water in the refrigerator to drink without cost. The breakfast was really mediocre. There was a large selection of dry cereal, but the cheese and cold cut selection was limited, pale, and unappetizing. The fruit was equally disappointing. The hot food was ordinary. Most annoying was that one has to get coffee from a machine. If there is a tour group, there are pots of coffee. Otherwise, one has to get coffee yourself from a machine, and fiddling with a machine is one thing that I do not want to do first thing in the morning. In order to attract a young ”hip” clientele, the new owners are being cute, and I *hate* cute. The do not disturb signs read ”Rabies area. Wild animals is room!” and ”Danger! I am sleeping” There is also a cutesy thing about the staff wearing red shoes. Not an issue for me, but because the hotel is several buildings combined, there are several short flights of stairs. To end with some more positives, the hotel is a short walk from the train station and there are several nice, local restaurants nearby.

I stayed here for the Bayreuth Festival and would definitely stay again. It's a brand new hotel, only built in 2019 (I think). The rooms were small but modern and spotlessly clean with really good, strong air-conditioning (which is an absolute MUST if you can't cope with hot August temperatures). The location is perfect for the Festspielhaus - only about 12 minutes walk and really close to the train station too. The whole place is bright and modern and there is a really nice bar and seating area. The staff were all very friendly and helpful and made me feel welcome. My only criticism would be that because the windows only take up about half of the external wall then the rooms are quite dark and you can't see very well if you're trying to work or pack a suitcase when it's not daylight hours. There isn't a wardrobe but some coat hangers attached to the wall at the side of the bed - which meant I had all my long evening dresses on display in the room.

Wir waren wiederholt im First Boarding als Basisstation für den Festspielbesuch. Eine nüchterne, zweckmäßige Unterkunft im positiven Sinne. Die Suite bietet - neben der Kitchenette (wir kochen das Frühstück gerne selbst statt Standardbrötchen mit Standardkonfitüre) - auch einen abgetrennten Schlafbereich, einen Esstisch, ein kleines Sofa (begrenzt gemütlich ;) und eine geräumige Dusche und ein separates WC. Genügend Platz im Kleiderschrank, Zimmersafe, Parkmöglichkeit in der Tiefgarage (auch für fette Karren). Verkehrsgünstig gelegen. Zu Fuß kann man in der Umgebung schön spazieren gehen, ins Grüne oder in wenigen Minuten zu Villa Wahnfried, Liszt-Museum, Neues Schloss / Hofgarten und Altstadt. Empfehlung für alle, die auf Luxus und Butler gerne verzichten und ihre gepflegte Ruh haben wollen.

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.
