Hotel Orphee

Very beautiful hotel and great location within old town. Rooms are nice, just wish they had digital card readers for the doors and a room safe. They give you a real key, which is nice and different, but not convenient. Rooms are very clean and spacious with plenty of lighting. They also have a bar/restaurant downstairs that we absolutely loved to have drinks and eat at.

Hotel and Restaurant Orphee in Regensburg transcends typical expectations of hospitality. There, you’re immersed in an ambiance that exudes charm and flair, adorned with exquisite furnishings and artful decorations that evoke an eclectic, bohemian neoantique character. The décor—a delightful fusion of vintage elegance with creative, free-spirited touches—sets it apart as anything but a cookie-cutter hotel, reflecting the heartfelt care of its family-run spirit. Nestled in the heart of historical Regensburg, Orphee offers a timeless experience with beautifully designed rooms and an exceptional breakfast that sets the perfect tone for your day. When evening arrives, the in-house restaurant shines, delivering a culinary experience so delightful that you won’t feel the need to search for alternatives elsewhere. I first discovered Orphee while living in Regensburg and hosting my guests here, and it quickly became my must-visit residence whenever I’m in Regensburg. For those seeking a blend of exclusivity, character, and genuine service, booking well in advance is highly recommended!

Location is only a 4 star due to no nearby parking. BUT, they partner with local parking structures to get a discount. If you are not in need of a vehicle at your beck and call, this is a beautiful spot in the heart of the old city. The restaurant can’t be beat either.

This is an eclectic, almost bohemian hotel. From the entryway to decorations in hallways to rooms. Ours is a huge room with neo-antiques in French baroque style but with primitive wood table in the middle of the room (very useful) and chest in the corner. Plaster ceilings dressed in medieval decor. Has plenty of powerpoints, very strong wifi, and decent bathroom. The people here are wonderful, kindly speaking English when my limited German fails. Wonderful attitude. Restaurant review to be separate.

This hotel fits the classic description of "rustic and charming." The rooms and halls are quirky and old, but the beds are comfortable and the location, smack dab in the center of town, cannot be beat. We also really enjoyed the included breakfast, which was quality with several menu options and a lovely cafe to sit in.

Really nice little hotel. Great Restaurant and breakfast. Perfect location!

Great central location in the old town (easy and flat 10 min walk from main train station) , quirky and full of character (take the hotel stairs and explore a bit!), spacious room and bathroom, water/wine/nuts/chocolates provided free in room, staff very friendly/helpful/present/available. If you want an older style, classic French movie set/artsy yesteryear atmosphere with furniture from early 20th century or before (some came from an old theatre) and where people are engaged in lively conversation with nobody sitting on their phones, then this place is a stand out. The walls are covered in posters from French films, photographs of film stars and various art works. This hotel is always busy (the restaurant is clearly a favourite for locals) with the restaurant and reception area buzzing day and night. Fresh bread at breakfast was delicious! Authentic French bistro menu for lunch/dinner. Rooms are all different (a bit shabby-chic in places) and while we certainly didn’t get a room that looked anything like the stunners on the website, it was quirky, comfortable and very spacious nonetheless. ||To be aware of: Pillows very flat (lacking filling) so we needed to use our clothes to bolster. Asked for extra pillow but it was just the same as the others! No fridge in room and no milk for tea/coffee (but we did get a paper cup of milk from the obliging staff at the restaurant). There is no safe to lock away valuables. The entrance is a large undercover smoking area so you have to walk through a thick fog of cigarette smoke to enter or leave the hotel, with the smoke drifting into the reception area and restaurant every time the door opens (which happens constantly - this place is busy!). No air con or fan in the room which didn’t worry us, but this might be an issue for some people in the heat of summer.

Interesting hotel setup- I stayed a block away from the main hotel which had a private locked entrance but no reception and no elevator. Room was very spacious as was the bathroom, shower was very small however. There was a pathway on one side of the building so it was a little noisy at night but was still able to sleep comfortably. Could have used better pillows. The hotel restaurant was excellent at dinner but the breakfast options were limited.||A very good value however- slightly more than 100 Euros per night which included breakfast.

What a treat to stay at this beautiful hotel! I'm told by locals that it is the best place to stay in Regensburg and I could definitely believe it. It's located right in the old town district, very conveniently located for shopping and sight-seeing and getting around town. The rooms are spacious and gorgeous, though they definitely have a quirky and authentic European flare, as does the rest of the hotel in general. Little touches like complimentary bottle of wine and a chocolate on the pillow made the stay that much more enjoyable. Reservations include breakfast every morning in the restaurant downstairs, which is another local favorite. Standard breakfast includes bread basket, and a plate of meats, cheeses, yogurt and fruits, plus juice and coffee or tea. What a great way to start the day. The restaurant gets crowded at night for dinner and cocktails crowd, so it's a great way to end the night as well. I loved staying here and would recommend it to anyone.
