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.
