Just a place to stay
To start out, the place was okay, but do not stay here if your allergic to cats. (There is a cat that lives inside). The host was not nice. First night we stayed of three nights total, we went down to breakfast to eat and did not know the host would go into the room. If i would of known that she was going to go into the room, i would of cleaned up our suitcases and clothes. We walked into her cleaning up and she started to raise her voice and get angry with us about the mess. She raised her voice at me in front of my daughter and said “This is ridiculous”. I tried to explain to her if i knew she was going to come into the room, i would of cleaned and that i would clean up. She interrupted me and stated “Yes, you will!”. She had a tub that my 9 year old was in and used of the towels as a pillow, it fell in the tub and was soaked. I rang it out and hung it to dry. The host yelled at us for wrecking her room and when i tried to explain to her what happened, she interrupted and yelled “Yeah, WHATEVER!” After that first morning, all we wanted to do is leave. The next morning breakfast was less, and the next even less laid out. Every time my daughter and i walked into the house we felt so unwelcome. Besides our personal/situational experience, the house itself is so loud. Our room was on the third floor. We had someone stay next to us and we heard every footstep, word, and breath(snoring). We did not sleep well. Giving an overall score of 2 because it was just a place to stay.
The cat in the breakfast room.
Looking out of the window of the room.
The first breakfast day. After this day was just cheese, bread, and salami.

Dear guest,we are certified as a sustainable host.Our breakfast offering is extensive. Some guests load a lot onto their plates and tear open the packaging, but then don't eat it. The food must be thrown away. This is definitely not sustainable.The next days I only served what you had actually eaten and asked you every day what else you wanted me to bring you. You never wanted anything but still left something on the plates.You and your daughter were the only guests in the house, over the next few days – thats what I thought. But I was wrong.A soldier spent the night(s) in your room. He sneaked out of the house early in the morning, but the boot dirt led all the way down the stairwell straight to your room.Guests who do not want room service hang the sign on the door. There was none. I was shocked: there was also a lot of boot dirt on the carpet and I had a lot of trouble vacuuming it away between all your things and the leftover fast food on the carpet.There is a comfortable bath pillow in the bathroom - unused. And I'm supposed to believe your daughter used 2 towels and 2 bed rugs as pillows instead.An explanation: I’m not a native English speaker (google translated) and some words, which I should have said, I don’t know. None of our 10,000 guests have ever heard me screaming. Anyhow, I was not amused.When you checked out you didn't want to pay for the soldier's overnight stay because “he didn't eat”… I felt sorry for you and charged only 12 euros for the laundry. After all it was Christmas.

Perfectly perfect stay
Absolutely wonderful. We stayed in the Junior suite and I’m honestly surprised they had any availability as it is beautiful, the hostess was amazing, it’s in an adorable little town, great food, and overall an amazing experience. We’ve already decided that we will definitely stay there again. The breakfast room was cozy and beautifully decorated. The room was utilized to the fullest extent. Just exceeded our expectations!

Cannot say enough about this little Gem in the little village of Koenigstein!! The rooms were well stocked with everything you could need! They were neat and clean and the bed was very comfortable. The very best part is the wonderful Proprietor and Owner Irene! She was so very helpful with any of our needs. She helped us to find restaurants, Pharmacy, Covid testing and the proper tests! Every day she went out of her way to make us the most wonderful complete breakfasts, to help us with any request we had. She went over and above. This stay was warm, cozy, inviting, and absolutely the best stay ever. If you are visiting someone on the Base at Rose Barracks in Vilseck or just enjoying beautiful Bavaria you cannot find a nicer stay than here. Close to train stations, buses, etc. What an amazing stay we had. Cannot Thank Irene enough for all her assistance and kindness. You have got to stay at Haus am Markt!!! THANK YOU!!!!

Beautiful in Bavaria
This ferienwohnung (German for Holiday Apartment) was incredible. Situated in a small town in the midst of the Bavarian countryside. The town has a number of hotels with restaurants, a bakery, banks, and a grocery store. Hiking trails abound and it is a pleasant 15 minute drive to Vilseck. The accommodations are awesome and the hospitality was first rate.

Amazing Hotel!
Stayed one week mid-July 2016. The hotel and the owners are simply amazing! Wonderful rooms, stunningly delicious breakfasts. The owners went above and beyond to make our stay pleasant and exceeded in every way! The rooms are spacious and very clean. Absolutely cannot beat the prices for room, stocked drinks, etc. If visiting Bavaria this is an absolute must stay! Oh, one hint, if coming from the US ensure you bring a power convertor and adapter. My personal thanks to the owners for such a wonderful and comfortable stay!

Sleep in total silence
As a group we ended up occupying an entire floor as each room was more like a small apartment complete with full kitchen, separate bedroom and bathroom. This is a very small town without much to do at night but every available restaurant serves excellent home cooked meals. There is very little traffic or noise during the night, you will sleep in basically complete silence. Breakfast is great and there was at least one cat roaming about the building. Eighty percent of our reservation was pre-authorized on the reserving credit card which might complicate billing for larger groups but this might have been avoided if I had not missed the emails notifying me and requesting information.

A Great Welcome in a Quaint Town
Our two-night stay at Haus am Markt was a wonderful experience and one we would look forward to repeating. Upon arriving, Irene showed us the large, comfortable, and very nicely decorated room. The bathroom and shower were large by many standards. The breakfast had a large and delicious selection and was set in a cozy and nicely-adorned room that at one time served as a stable. Irene was very helpful getting us oriented to the area and provided many good suggestions... unfortunately, our time allowed us to take in only a couple of them. One I would recommend is walking the nature trail up the hill overlooking the town and sharing a bottle of wine at the picnic table at the top as you enjoy the spectacular view.

If you want to be in a quiet real German town, this is your choice. On top of this, you will have a very kind management always ready to help. Close to Nuremberg or Bayreuth by car. If you are going to the Bayreuther Festspiele this is a lovely place to stay.

The innkeeper was extremely nice. If you are looking for somewhere quiet, then this is the place. Had issues with wifi and internet but the inn keeper worked hard to fix it. Breakfast was good but there are not many restaurants in the area.

Dear guest, thank you for your comment. The small village of Koenigstein is proud of its extrem concentration of restaurants . In walking distance (100-250 m) to the Hotel Haus am Markt are 6 restaurants to be found. Didn't you notice because of the nevertheless quiet surroundings? Thank you for your stay. Haus am Markt

Charming
If you want to experience true Bavaria, this was the most charming, lovely place I have ever stayed. The room was fully equipped with all modern amenities: kitchen, bathroom; and the furniture was exquisite with its own private outdoor patio. In the morning we had a delicious breakfast that was included in the price. We woke up early just to have a walk around the lovely, quaint village and spectacular views. The town was very close to many other lovely tourist locations. The owner was very pleasant and attentive. We will definitely be returning.

My Home Away From Home
When in the area, I will always choose this hotel over any other in the market. It's perfect. I had a suite outfitted with a cozy bathroom and mini kitchen. Complimentary Haribo gummies on the pillow hit the spot. I would definitely recommend this hotel if you're gonna be staying in the area for more than a few days. But even if you're staying for one night, you wont be disappointed. Only problem, most of the entertainment is an hour or so away in Nurnberg. Other than that, great value for a great place.

I was very satisfied by the quality of the accommodation, the only problem was that they were only able to accept cash and we had to scrounge all our money together to pay upfront. Other than that it was top quality. Definitely stay there again, beautiful out of the way place.

Lieber Gast, ich freue mich sehr, dass es Ihnen bei uns gefallen hat und bedanke mich für Ihre netten Worte. Ich möchte Ihre Angaben über Königstein ergänzen: Es gibt in der Ortsmitte 4 Hotels/Gasthöfe, noch zwei weitere Restaurants, Edeka, Bäcker, zwei Metzger, Getränke, Post, zwei Banken, Arzt, Zahnarzt und einen Heilpraktiker. Das neue Naturbad hat eine weitläufige Liegewiese mit Ruhezonen und Schattenbereichen, einen Beachvolleyballplatz und kann im Winter als Eisbahn genutzt werden. Die benachbarte Kneippanlage ist kostenfrei. Es gibt über 100 km markierte Wanderwege und gespurte Loipen im Winter. Richtig viel los ist in Königstein alle 2 Jahre während des internationalen Kletterfestivals – 2017 nahmen 2500 Kletterer teil. Ansonsten ist Königstein ein gemütliches, liebenswertes Dorf mit viel Natur. Die 1000 Einwohner freuen sich über jeden Gast, der den Weg hierher findet. Auch ich würde mich freuen, wenn Sie wieder einmal das Haus am Markt besuchen würden. Bis dahin – alles Gute! Ihre Gastgeberin Irene Scharmacher
