Welcome Hotel Residenzschloss Bamberg

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.

This was perhaps the 3rd time that I have stayed at this hotel. The staff is invariably friendly, efficient, and helpful. It's always a pleasure to overnight here.

Good hotel. Spacious rooms amd great value for money. German cleanliness and good service.

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.

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.

It was very hot the day we arrived and we did not see the fan in the room until late in the evening so it was uncomfortable for our baby most of that day. The minibar also did not seem to get very cold. The breakfast buffet was very good though and had many more choices than we have seen in many other European hotels.

Very nice hotel, converted from a hospital. Quiet location, our room overlooked the river. Spacious rooms, good restaurant and very friendly and helpful staff. Underground secure parking and a short walk into the town. No air conditioning in our room, but a fan was provided ( no A/C seems to be the norm for German hotels) . The breakfast buffet was particularly impressive.

Beautiful outside. Not good for value overall. The service is poor. Staff can’t figure out what went wrong with my reservation and took 30 mins to find it eventually. Also they are not very helpful when explaining the amenities. I had to ask twice how to open the gym door from the reception staff to get clear instructions regarding how I can get who to open the door. Breakfast selection is mediocre and very hectic. The room looks dated. No AC. Also beds are very short. I don’t know how an average German guy can sleep well on it as it is short even for me (5’10). But the location is great and it is a beautiful building.

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.
