"Good hotel except they got the booking on arrival wrong so house guest and staff vigorously knocked on my door - demanded action- I went to front desk and staff embarrassed - problem fixed - parking fees waived thankyou but…… Aside from this debacle still a good hotel"

"This is the second time I have stayed at The Goldener Anker -- last year my wife and I stayed there for two nights while attending the Bayreuth Baroque Opera Festival, and this past weekend we returned with our young daughters (13 and 9). Everything about The Goldener Anker is superb: The location on the old main square is the best in town -- just a few meters away from the Margravial Opera House and within easy walking distance of the major historical sites. We stayed in the spacious and newly restored "Puccini Suite," which features a gigantic four-poster bed as well as a separate room offering beautiful bunk beds for my daughters -- all the rooms and common areas throughout the hotel are exquisitely furnished with tasteful antiques and sumptuous fabrics that ooze Old World Charm. The bathroom was enormous and featured both a vintage clawfoot bathtub as well as a shower. Apart from the classy and extremely comfortable accommodations, the service was consistently excellent. The owner, Eva Graf, is the fourteenth generation of her family to run the hotel, which she does with love, kindness and exceptional attention to detail and to the guests' wishes. The staff is multilingual and always eager to help. The WiFi worked perfectly, and the adjacent parking garage was most convenient. Of course, there are no lifts or air conditioning in such a historic building, but if you're looking for such modern conveniences in a bland characterless highrise, go stay at the Ibis -- I'll take authentic Old World Charm any day. We enjoyed an excellent late dinner (Oxtail Soup, Smoked Trout, Entrecote, Parfait) in the cozy paneled dining room after the opera, served by Eva herself. The tasty and well prepared gourmet dishes were served on fine china and the delicious wine poured into sparkling crystal glasses, which only enhanced the classic Old World ambience. After such a late night, we wandered down to breakfast later than usual, but it was no problem. The breakfast menu is extensive (eggs, bacon, ham, fresh juices, fresh breads and croissants with homemade marmalades, yogurts, muesli, cheeses, cold cuts, etc.) all sourced from local farmers and bakers. We are used to enjoying fresh croissants from a French bakery several times a week, and my daughters couldn't stop raving about those served at The Goldener Anker! Our table was graced with beautiful fresh orchids, and we were delighted to hear the Sunday morning churchbells ringing out across the square as we indulged in our luxurious late breakfast. It is not inexpensive, but considering the consistently high quality of the experience, we believe The Goldener Anker offers exceptional value -- and I believe that other discerning travelers will agree. We did not wish to leave, and we will certainly be back!"

"It offers excellent value for money. If you need a taxi, you can contact the front desk to call one. Bottled water is not available in the rooms, but you can buy it at the front desk and get an invoice separately."

"Clean hotel, worth the money"

"Stayed here for two nights. The room was clean and hygienic. The kitchen provides basic facilities such as refrigerator microwave ovens. Overall very comfortable. The front desk staff is also very friendly."

"Super Central. Great equipment!"

"The hotel is good"

"Good job"

"Nice apartment for a single night stay in Bayreuth. The property was clean and quiet. We loved that it was right by the bus stop with a regular bus to the beautiful city. The rooms were good although with the sofa bed made up we had nowhere to sit! Other than this the property was perfect for a comfortable one night family stay in a nice quiet area."
