Meister BÄR HOTEL Frankenwald

We visit the therms in bad steban at least once a year every year and we always stayed in bad steban until now. But over the last few years we became discontent with the hotel where we used to stay so we've been trying other hotels and this year we decided to look outside of bad steban and came across this hotel.It's only 17 min away from the therms which is ok for us.Pros:- the room was big with a big closet and a seating area for 3/4 persons inside and 2 persons outside (see pics)- there was a hair dryer in the bathroom that was surprisingly powerful and dried my long hair fast- breakfast is ok with fresh croissants, tea, milk, whole wheat bread, ham, cheese, honey, nutela, fresh melon, yogurt (including natural) and a few other things- one big plus for me is that you can order latte macchiato, cappuccino, etc for breakfast for free- Wi-Fi works and there is no need to register or enter password- the balcony of the room was one of our favorite things. It was pretty big and it has walls all around so you can sit outside even when it rains. It also offers complete privacy, you can't see any other room or balcony. The view is not the best but it's green, quiet and private which are the most important things for us (see pics).- the balcony has carpet floor so you can go outside in socks even in the winter- every night you get a new free bottle of gas water in the bedroom- the staff is friendly and helpful- there is elevator- there is a fridge with drinks in the lobby including beer and still water (you have to pay in the reception)- the hotel bar is open all day until 22h so you can get drinks (also coffee drinks) any time of the day and they also give you a tray if you want to bring it to the bedroom. The prices are normal, what you would pay in a bakery, so there is really no need to leave the hotel- and the best for us is that the hotel works with an Italian restaurant that delivers the food to your hotel room. That was the most amazing part for us, really so convenient, specially when you have kids. They offer pizzas, pastas, salads and meat. The food is not amazing but it's ok (tip: bring salt and dinnerware or ask at the hotel bar)- the hotel bar also serves one hot meal at night but we didn't try it- breakfast starts at 6h30 which is great for families with kids that wake up early (ends at 10h)- I read that there is a playground but we didn't see or try it because it was rainy- check-out is very easy, just leave the door key card at the reception- there was an ashtray in the balcony- free parkingCons:- the gap between the 2 beds grows wider during the night. This was the biggest con for us because our son sleeps between us- the toilet was old and it had yellow calc stains which I found a bit icky (see pic)- the balcony door was made of glass and didn't have shutters or black out curtain so we couldn't make the room completely darkBut anyway the pros, specially the amazing convenience, far outweigh the cons for us, so this will definitely be our hotel from now on every time we visit the bad steban therms.

Very beautiful place 😇Clean and friendly with excellent breakfast 🍳Perfect for a family and also our little poodle was mostly welcomed. There is a small playground area and place to run out your dog.Great recommendation.

Wonderful breakfast with hot and cold foods. Small but nice suana and warm pool. The beds are excellent and the rooms are quite large. Highly recommend the schnitzel.

A beautiful typical German building with a good german kitchen, a nice room with a balcony and a view to the hills/mountains. Outdoor terrasse, wide selection of beer, dogs are welcome, Parking right outside the door and an excellent breakfast . Close to the motorway but hardly to be heard.
