Hotel Weierich

I stayed the weekend after Christmas 08. Great staff, clean rooms. Honor beer bar at the entrance, the price was a steal I drank most of the top shelf. Breakfast was well done. Parking was a challenge. I ended in the underground deck. There was one lot across the street, appeared to stay full. I would love to stay here again.

The room was spacious, the view was atmospheric (along a cobblestone street), fresh towels, rooms cleaned daily, plenty of choice for breakfast, staff very helpful.
There is no lift, though the straff will gladly assist with your luggage.
There is also free internet, a big plus for me.

Unique Quality: I loved it here. The location right in the middle of the old quarter makes it an excellent place for a tourist.
There are dozens of restaurants within easy walking distance and the famous Rathaus is just one block away yet it is a quiet hotel.
It is also the site of Bamberg's oldest brewery and a historic building in its own right.
Rates are reasonable and you can easily book over the internet.

Nice older hotel, greatly appointed inside. Good clean hotel and excellent location within short walking distance to good bars and restaurants. This Hotel has an excellent breakfast too on an 0 to 10 scale it is an 8.

Unique Quality: Several old Luesterweibchens in the restaurant area. Worth seeing as the original ones are quite uncommon. When I visit Bamberg I stay here if possible.

Directions: From the main train station, it is a taxi ride. By car there is parking, about a three blocks walk.

Hotel Weierich is a small hotel, in a 450 year old building. It is located in the old part of town, well within walking distance of the historical buildings and monuments in the city. It is a distance to the train station - I would estimate 3 to 4 miles, so a taxi is the best route to/from the hotel. Cost was less than $10 Euro, including tip.

The hotel has a small lobby, breakfast room and separate dining room/pub. Many of the lobby furnishings appear to be antiques, and the chandeliers are quite fascinating. My room was comfortable, a double bed, small television, chair and armoir, with a shower and toilet. The room faced the street, however, there is not much auto traffic, so there was not much street noise at all.

I paid $50 Euro for my 1 night stay, which included a traditional German continental breakfast of breads, musli, yogurt, coffee, juice, various sliced meats and cheese. The staff were extremely outgoing and friendly. I ate dinner in the restaurant - the waitress did not speak English, and my German was simple, and there was not an English menu. She was so concerned that she got the chef and brought him to my table - he spoke English. Dinner was good, Salmon and potatoes, with a very good white house wine. I prearranged a taxi for 6:30 am the next morning, and it arrived on time (another indication that the staff takes care of details).

Unique Quality: The chandeliers in the lobby area were something I have never seen. Antlers and carved people - I'll post a picture because I could never describe this correctly.

Great location for exploring this UNESCO World Heritage site on foot.

No elevator - people with difficulties climbing stairs should not stay here.
