Hotels Near Pirker-Alpakas in Upper Palatinate

The Fronfeste Hotel has made my wife's birthday an unforgettable event. Even when we check in, we were surprised with a sect and a flower bouquet in the room, which was a wonderful gesture. The unique atmosphere of the hotel, combined with the hearty hospitality and a careful service, has made our stay special. The top point was private prison management with clothes, which was informative and at the same time incredibly fun. We are very grateful to the Hotel Fronfeste for this fantastic experience and the lovely details that have enriched our stay. For all who are looking for a special stay in Amberg, this hotel is an excellent choice.

A charming hotel in the middle of the green! Just 300 m from the old town. Very nice, clean rooms with view of the park! Breakfast buffet with regional and bio products, for everyone with something! The staff love and very friendly. The hotel manager from the region and very engaged! Great team and collegial atmosphere. Many helping hands as stands on the T-shirt. Dog friendly hotel! It always worth a trip!

Well I’m gonna write this review before the morning to see how breakfast is because as of now the overall experience with had with the front desk receptionist wasn’t the most pleasant. Check in went pretty smooth, when I booked it said we would get 2 free drinks due to being a silver member, well she gave us 3 since it was 3 of us, one being a child. We requested 2 key cards for both adults and once we got to the room neither keys worked. We checked the bathroom once we got in the room and only had 2 towels, floor towel and medium towel. We pulled out the sofa bed since it was 3 of us and wanted to have comfort. Well one of us went down and requested extra towels since we were short and some bedding for the sofa couch. The receptionist Marianne Holzer stated that because it was only 3 of us we did not need extra towels and that the room we booked was only for 2 which on the site showed it was for 3 people with a pull out sofa. Marianne Holzer started off okay but it ended up that she was not so friendly at all. She knew when we checked in it was 3 people and when explained that we didn’t have towels it was an issue. Last hotel we stayed at was very accommodating with towels since we did have an 8 year old with us who uses his own towel. Just confused what the issue was.

PROS: + cheap and good breakfast (coffee, hot chocolate, eggs, sausages, bread, honey, jams, cereals, yoghurts, juices, etc.), just 10€ per person + kind staff members (esp the receptionist who answered all of our questions about Regensburg!) + plenty of supermarkets nearby + free parking CONS: - drunk people sitting by the hotel in the evening, felt very uncomfortable outside - a bit far from Regensburg (recommended for people travelling by car!)

We booked our 1 night stay for Christmas 2023, a few days earlier. It took 3 times to confirm the reservation online since their webpage was crashing. We chose an option to pay upon arrival and were charged only €0.01 reservation fee. A day before our arrival we received an email stating that our card couldn't be charged for the full amount and that we have until noon to send the correct card details or we will lose our booking. After explaining that we were given and chose the option to pay upon arrival, they said it's okay then. We received 2 emails about the reception working hours on Christmas, first that it's until 17h, then until 15h. As we arrived later, we needed to self check-in and pay at the machine, which went fine. However, the room we were given was not cleaned after the previous guest (the bed was not made, the dirty towels were on the floor). The on-call staff member immediately gave us another room. The room was very small and basic but clean (the 2nd one). The bed was quite small (French bed) but comfortable. The room was extremely basic equipped, not even a cup for the tooth brushes or a trash bin in the room itself. No closet, just a few open hangers. But the worst part was that there were strange sounds during the night in the room/building, like banging in the pipes or something. We didn't have any appliances on (e.g. AC/heating, light) so we don't know what these sounds were but they were very disturbing, keeping us up the whole night. The next morning we heard another guest complaining about it as well. The breakfast was good, a variety of bread, sausages and cheese, 3 types of jams, a chocolate spread, boiled eggs, 2 types of juice, coffee and cocoa from the machine, tea, sweet pastry, yoghurt, etc. We enjoyed the breakfast very much, although only the boiled egg was a warm option. The staff was friendly. The location is great, close to the highway, the bus stop is in front which takes you to the old town in 20 min, buses on Christmas went every 20 min until 20h (and until 22h from the city back to the hotel stop). The daily ticket for 1 person was €3. However, not much to do in the city on Christmas, even the Christmas market was closed. Overall we were satisfied for the 1 night passing by, but wouldn't book it for longer given the bad organisation with the cleaning of the rooms, the weird sounds in the building construction, as well as extremely basic rooms.

It is far from the old city and needs to drive or do public transportation. The German bus is not as convenient as the domestic one. The rooms are small, but very clean. There are very few urban tourists, mainly locals or Germans. Local restaurant waiters speak German and are not very friendly in speaking English.
