I love Bamberg, pure and simple. It's a beautiful town. When I am visiting Bamberg, I like to stay in a NICE hotel. This doesn't mean expensive, but friendly, accommodating, close to the town center, and reasonable priced. Hotel Messerschmidt met and exceeded my expectations. The rooms are small but comfortable. My room (305) had a nice view over a lovely side-street. The bed was great! I slept well every night. Bathrooms are clean and have new appliances, beautifully functional. The desk staff were wonderful, and happy to make recommendations and give you information. They have two modern, quiet, roomy elevators. The hotel is a brief walk from the city center and just a 15-minute walk from the train station. The building is classic old-school German hotel. The greatest thing about this hotel actually is breakfast. It's GOOD. They have a wide selection of breads, meats, cheeses, eggs, juicers, coffee, tea, fruits, yogurt, cereals, with a wonderful friendly staff. It is required that you say "Guten Morgen" to everyone and vice versa. Very German. One of the best breakfasts I've eaten. Definitely do it. Or, if you are more price conscious, there is a small grocery store no more than 200' away in the direction of downtown where you can buy food cheaply and take it up to your room to eat it.|While I loved this hotel and will definitely return, I gave it a 4 out of 5 because the carpet (especially the one in my room) is due for a cleaning, and I am aware in my older years of physical barriers. If you are in a wheelchair, this hotel has several areas where there are 3-5 steps to navigate (from the reception desk to the breakfast hall and from the reception desk to the elevators. There could be a different handicapped entrance that I did not see. Still a fine hotel and well worth the visit.
