We expected better. Small room and bed from one and a half square for two people. “cordial” staff (less..) Quality price ratio also no... Strategic location: in the centre and near station and bus stop. Bathroom with a kind of glass door that was also used to close half shower, bad idea. No bottle of water welcome. No fridge bar. For the money spent, this stay could be much more pleasant.
Last night I stayed at Hotel Residenzschloss on the River Regnitz in Bamberg, just a short walk from the historic city centre. The interaction of Baroque and modern styles shapes the atmosphere of this house built in 1787. Booked two big, one small room with three meals, 9-year-old baby extra bed, the room is very spacious. The hotel has an underground parking lot. The parking fee is more than ten euros a day. The specific amount is forgotten. Easy walk to the center of Bamberg.
Our key criteria for choosing a hotel in Bamberg were: ease of road access (not desire to get caught up in the city centre traffic), safe car parking (we had our bikes on the back of the car) and an air conditioned room. The Kongresshotel met these requirements totally. English speaking reception staff were helpful and friendly and completed the checki-in process quickly. On arrival at our room we realised that the bathroom had a shower over a bath which these days is not our favourite choice - definitely prefer the safety of a walk-in shower. So we went straight back to reception to see if there were any rooms with walk-in showers. Unfortunately we were advised they did not have any. I have to admit this is might fault for not checking prior to booking! The suite was a reasonable size with a separate seating area; one settee and a one armchair. Neither were particularly comfortable but adequate for the limited time we would be on the room. The free- minibar was well stocked with soft drinks and two beers and was replenished daily - didn't expect that. The aircon worked reasonable well but I think it might have struggled if the weather had been any warmer. The room was a little tired in terms of decoration but perfectly clean. We owe an apology to the cleaning lady; the path outside the hotel (next to the river) is fine grit. Despite wiping our shoes on the entrance doormat, we clearly walked some of the grit into the lounge area of the room! So we soon learnt to take off our shoes and leave by the door. A shoe tray by the door might be a welcome addition? The breakfast buffet had plenty of choice and there were plenty of tables available....until we got to our last morning. Oh, were we in for a shock. We came down for breakfast at about 0900 expecting to see the usual near empty room only to find it was absolutely heaving with people - I guess multiple conferences on at the same time? There were even additional tables laid out in the reception area. After spending 5 minutes trying to find a table we gave up and decided to come back 45 minutes later. We did eventually get one but it was still very crowded. We did wonder at the time it there should have been a segregated area for hotel guests but I guess it's not practical to do that and could result in some tables being under utilised. While we were staying as 'tourists', this hotel makes a perfect location for meeting and conferences. Multiple large rooms available which appeared to be well kitted out (obviously we didn't go in but just looked through the door) and plenty of space to meet/chat outside of the conference rooms.

I had high expectations based on other reviews and the hotel did not dissapoint. Check-in: Staff was welcoming and friendly and very patient with my rusty German speaking! They even took the time to show us to our room. We were given a very detailed and helpful overview of the town and location of key sites at the front desk. Can't say enough about the staff. Great job! Hotel Rooms & Facilities: Everything about the hotel was sparkling clean. Our rooms were large and well appointed. Views from both rooms were wonderful. Everything was in good working condition. The bathrooms were large and modern. Beds extremely comfortable. Good Wifi signal throughout hotel. Overall I would say the owners have done an outstanding job of modernizing a classic old building. We had a delicious breakfast one morning, but unusual for Germany it was not included in our room rate. We did not eat any other meals, but we noticed there was always a good crowd in the restaurant. Location: The Nepomuk is located on a quiet side street on the southern edge of the Altstadt right on the river. Although most buildings in this part of town have not had a recent facelift, you are just a couple short blocks from the heart of Bamberg's incredible, beautiful Altstadt. Bamberg: There is a reason the Altstadt is a UNESCO world heritage site. It is a wonderful, compact glimpse into another time. We were very impressed with everything we saw. Highly recommend a visit.

Super hotel, located just on the outskirts of the old town. Staff really friendly and helpful. Breakfast was very reasonably priced and plenty to choose from. Our room was spacious and very nicely decorated. Absolutely nothing to complain about. No parking available at the hotel, but there is an underground parking area couple of hundred metres away. The restaurant was closed while we were there.
The location of the hotel was superb. It was within walking distance to the old town, and right next to a supermarket and a bakery. The price of the room was also very reasonable. However, the cleanliness needs to be improved. There was some hair on the quilt cover and on the pillow.
