B&B HOTEL Bayreuth

It is difficult to find a nice hotel in Bayreuth during the opera festival. This hotel charges almost 2 x its usual rates at that time but it remains a basic hotel. The reviews in English are fine but if you can read the reviews in German, a majority of them are quite bad and I would agree with them, which better reflect what to expect. Despite busy times, the reception is usually empty and there is no access to a duty manager. When present for check in early afternoon, the front desk is rude (and there is an extra 15 eur for check in at 2 pm). In addition, I raised a few points to B&B customer service after my return and the experience was not satisfactory - such level of hostility I have never experienced. This will be one of my rare negative reviews on this website. Very disappointing.

The hotel has plenty of nice amenities, and the front desk is very helpful (especially in answering questions about the area and in getting a ride to the airport set up). The best part may be the location--right near the Marktplatz (with plenty of shopping/dining nearby). You are within a couple minutes walking distance from major sites like the Margravial Opera House and the Richard Wagner home. If you are in Bayreuth for the Wagner festival, it's about a 30 minute walk to the Festspielhaus. The hotel also offers a shuttle there for 7 euro (but not back). Enjoy the hotel and the city!

Very pleasant well organized hotel. Excellent, clean, well-equipped room. Very attractive, nutritious breakfast. No parking on site but this was only a minor issue due to plenty of inexpensive 24 hour public parking nearby.

Centrally located, breakfast OK, no need for check out. The hotel was supposedly without a check-in, but there were no extra pillows in the room, which we had asked for earlier, so a visit to the reception (which is only open 2 hours in the afternoon!!!) was essential. Very BAD accoustic, you can easily hear what neighbours are talking about! Very noisy bathroom ventilator which you cannot switch off.

friendly service and an efficient layout.... make your stay good, ok, modern. We enjoyed the help of the front desk but after a day or two went our won ways. The AC was quite good, too. We skipped breakfast and went down 100m the road to cafe Florian for a bavarian style breakfast, enjoyable.

easy check in and out. Perfect for short stop-over
