Hotel Rheingold

We spent 2 nights at Hotel Rheingold so we could visit the sights. This was our first stay in Bayreuth even though we have ridden the Main bike path two times earlier. The hotel lies one block from the downtown pedestrian zone and one block from the large shopping mall. There is just an easy stroll to the Opera house and to the Neu Schloss. It would be much more of a walk to the Ermitage. The train station is about a 15 minute walk. The hotel has a secure bike parking closet in the basement garage. For cars the €7 daily parking fee seems good compared to other hotels we've stayed at. We were in room 302, a double room with king bed located on a corner of the building. When we arrived we were a bit concerned that the ac wasn't working. But within minutes the maintenance man showed up with the controller and got it up and running. He was evidentally checking the ac units in all the rooms on that floor. Otherwise the room would have been very hot. The room was clean and a reasonable size. The bathroom was also a good size, clean, and there was good hot water. We would have preferred just a shower, no bathtub, but that's just our preference. As others have noted the breakfast was great. There was hot eggs, bacon, sausage, a variety of fresh breads, cakes, and pastries, cereal, yogurts, fruits, etc. Hard to choose the best things to eat. We were quite happy with our stay.

There was no food option in the hotel after breakfast. If they have staffing issues having a list of suggsted restaurants nearby would have been nice. Nope, not the case. They don’t clean the rooms every day unless you ask (there is a note in the room about this); this doesn’t make sense now after covid! The bathroom has one soap for all purposes (hand, body, hair) and no lotion. No iron or ironing board. The staff were sweet enough to call me taxis both times I asked. Room was clean and working AC wall unit, and clean towels.

Very nice staff. Friendly and professional. Going above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Very helpful with helping me organize my trips to the Bayreuth festival as well to the museums. Nice breakfast and snacks. Nice cocktail atmosphere before the opera. They run the place very well. I wish they have a restaurant for lunch & dinner.

I stayed here for a week in July on a business trip. The Rheingold works well as an efficient business-style hotel, with most things that you would want and expect. Rooms are comfortable, quiet and light, although showing real signs of wear, especially with the furniture. There are no fridges, mini-bars or tea/coffee making facilities. But a/c works well (not all rooms) and bathrooms are good. The breakfast buffet, hot and cold, is ample and fine. The breakfast room and restaurant/meeting-room spaces are OK, albeit lacking in character. There are some parking spaces outside the hotel (free) and a good value underground car-park next door. The hotel suffers from its actual location in Bayreuth, outside the main cultural and shopping areas, although these are all walkable - not necessarily through the most pleasant parts of the town. It’s 5 minutes to the market square across a busy road junction. Staff were friendly and helpful throughout.

I enjoyed the peaceful and cool basement configuration

Hotel Rheingold was a very nice, clean and safe local hotel. It was easy walking distance from the train station (19 minutes) and just across the main road to Old Town Bayreuth. We walked to the Festspielhaus and only took about 20 minutes. We were in Bayreuth to see all the Richard Wagner history. This hotel was a perfect hotel for easy navigation and close walks to all the museums and attractions. It is also a 5 minute walk from the Maisel's Bier-Erlebniswelt...Great local beer!! We certainly recommend this hotel.

Sehr nettes Personal, super Service.

It was very nice
