Welcome Hotel Residenzschloss Bamberg, Bamberg

We came and a heat wave hit so since no A/C in old buildings by law it was warm since in heat all day... But fan was doable. And old buildings don't let the heat get through. Nice breeze and could leave windows open being on 3rd floor overlooking front of castle. Book a suite but on arrival they said only 2 suites in whole hotel and on looking at the room I saw it was right on busy street & though big sitting room, bedroom was very small. They moved us to delux and included mini bar to compensate. That was great cuz bed nicer, waterbed, & large room.

Nice place, you still get a big old hotel key for your room. i think this place has huge potential, just needs a major facelift. don't get me wrong, this place is still nice, just dated, new style doesn't match historical core. service was good. breakfast almost lavish. lots of choice. wifi was spotty, just like in sister property across the river. good location. very close to old quarter of town.

We enjoyed it, with a room overlooking the river. The room was large, comfortable with an excellent bathroom. Two problems made it less than perfect, first location in the hotel was in a separate wing one floor up and to pass through the buffet, secondly the room was above a path next to the river heavily travelled by those out for a saturday evening, as the night was quite warm we needed the windows open so heard everything till 1 or 2 am. Staff was very helpful.

The room was modern and clean and quite spacious for Germany. We had two single beds however, not ideal, but common. There were two upholstered chairs and a desk area. The bathroom was quite nice with a separate vanity and full tub/shower and flattering recessed lighting. There is no air conditioning so the room was a little stuffy at night. The window opened but had no screen.

Rooms were quiet, even with the windows open at night. The spa in the basement is also great. We took a jet tub bath there .. wonderful. The breakfast bar was also amazing. Great bratwurst (Nuremberger sausages ... thin short links) in the morning. Fruit, you name it. Overall a great place in a beautiful city.
