Hartenfels Vacations from $805

This hotel is charming, full of history, and beautifully preserved. It has an old-world feel that makes it unique compared to modern stays. While there’s no air conditioning—which can make it a bit warm at times—the overall atmosphere makes up for it. The staff are exceptionally kind and helpful, always going out of their way to make guests feel welcome. Guests will also appreciate the free minibar and reliable Wi-Fi, which add extra comfort to the stay. The rooms can feel a bit dusty, but not in a way that makes them unclean—more like the inevitable character of an older, historic building. The breakfast buffet offers a good selection of food, making mornings easy and enjoyable. The location is very convenient, especially if you plan to use the train for travel. That said, being close to the station and just a few streets from the red-light district means you may encounter some drug use and prostitution in the area. It’s something to be aware of, but inside the hotel itself you’ll find a safe and welcoming environment.

Fantastic hotel in great location. Very good sauna too. Highly recommend.

Clean room. Friendly staff. Great location for restaurants both traditional Franconian and other food. Highly recommended and would stay again.

We had a wonderful stay, our rooms were great in every way, and the staff was was so nice and met all our needs. A beautiful hotel and a great staff!

Room had a decent size, but decoration and amenities fell short. The restaurant at the hotel allowed dogs in the internal area, which brings some serious concerns regarding higiene. The hotel is located far away from any restaurants and the one at the hotel has limited options. Having your own car is a must.
