Welcome Hotel Residenzschloss Bamberg

Handsome looking hotel from the outside. Fairly modern on the inside. Really liked the breakfast. Good staff We booked a “superior” room to be told on arrival it was the basic room and did we want to upgrade. Maybe they should call it “regular” or “standard” in future Easy walk to the inner city

PROS: Beautiful building and grounds, very friendly staff, great breakfast buffet, excellent cocktails at the bar. Great location - easily walkable to the Altstadt, Michaelsberg, Concert Hall, and the whole pedestrian shopping area. CON: maybe the worst bathroom design I have ever experienced in a hotel, especially the shower and its fixture.

I was booked into this amazing hotel, while on a training course. I can honestly say that I was treated like a lord. A lovely hotel and served by welcoming, polite staff. I would certainly return again.

Quaint yet classy, modern yet old... easy walk to Bamberg Old Town & short taxi ride from train station. Highly recommend

Great hotel overall. The location is easy to get to with the car and has a great parking lot. Service is professional and to the point, rooms were clean and spacious. The hotel is somewhat in the city center and you can walk to the historic center within 2 minutes, where amazing restaurant and architecture can be found. The breakfast was very well organized, has a lot of choice and is typically german which is a plus when visiting Bamberg. Also to note, the hotel is in an old castle style building which adds a great feeling to it and is quite impressive. Amazing place and hotel! Totally recommend it.

Hotel is nice, but not good for the hot summer. Because there is no air conditioner.

Good rooms - only challenge was that mine only had a single window, so limited cross ventilation. However in the summers they provided a standing fan, that was helpful. The service was good. They have a reasonable breakfast spread (juices, coffee, tea, cold cuts, cheese, eggs, bread, grilled vegetables). The assortment of fresh fruits was below expectations. Sauna available for a small additional fee.

For a +€200 a night 4 star hotel staying here was a very disappointing experience, for the following reasons: - They charge you €18 a night to park your car, despite being a guest. - The room on the ground floor (of which there are many) was right by a busy road. This means you can’t get changed / generally be in your room without keeping the curtains shut, and you can’t open the windows at night unless you want to be woken up by cars or inebriated patrons of the local pubs walking back home. - Air conditioning does not work, therefore in spring and summer you have to choose to either get woken up every 30 minutes by noisy passers-by, or put up with a vet hot room. Either way, you can’t sleep. - The carpet in the room was incredibly stained and the room generally dirty (we were presumably given the pet room, as we stayed with a small dog) but a bit more cleaning wouldn’t hurt - Room service stops at 9pm? Like..why have it at all. Asked for a small dessert (a bowl of ice cream) at 9:30pm - no chance. I’m not nit-picky with the places I stay. If this were a €100 a night hotel, the above would be completely acceptable (albeit frustrating). However, for a +€200 per night 4-star hotel, I find this totally unacceptable. In addition, despite a beautiful facade, the interiors are ugly and furnished in a very cheap way.

This is a stately and very nice looking hotel on the outside and warm, clean and cozy on the inside. This hotel is situated directly below the Kloster Michelsberg and is about a 10 minute walk from the old town and sites such as Schlenkerla Brauerei and the Alt Rathaus. While not in the "heart" of old town, it is a comfortable and peaceful distance away. Distance from the Bahnhof is a little daunting and a walk to the other breweries and interesting points will be an effort for some, a trifle for others. We made the trek to the Bahnhof in about 30 minutes by foot on a random day but opted for a taxi for check-in and check-out days. From the main entrance of the hotel, turn right on the road and you will come upon the path leading up the hill to the Kloster and a wonderful view of Bamberg. The breakfast buffet was truly welcome each morning with a nice variety so pleasantly presented. Weisswurst, many yogurts, breads and pastries. Local sausages and champagne. Very, very nice. The room was great, perfect for our needs. It was a tad stuffy. While the air system seemed easy to figure out, I could never get it to work. Not a huge deal so I never brought it up to the staff at the moment. No Nespresso machine, alas, but the buffet makes up for that. The staff was cooly pleasant.

By far the BEST Breakfast spread I have ever seen! If you love breakfast food this is it. Rooms are ok, but the food was great.
