Medieval hotel, already 400 years old. Many goodpreserved inventory and wood carvings.Very good cuisine.There are fresh rolls for breakfast!Unfortunately no cappuccino.Coffee in mini pots, 3 cups for 2 people.If you wish, you can get a new pot, but that's annoying. Very friendly staff.Rooms spacious, beds very comfortable, lots of real wood furniture with plenty of storage space.No shower.The only window could only be tilted. And was right above the terrace with loud guests. So close, at way over30 degrees.It is incomprehensible that an additional charge of 30 euros per night is required for a few more square meters.The room could be occupied a little earlier.

The hotel is furnished in a traditional style and offers a rustic ambience! The Franconian dishes are all high quality and absolutely delicious!However, in warmer temperatures it would be advisable to take a fan as the rooms do not have air conditioning!Otherwise perfect location to explore Franconian Switzerland, Bayreuth, Bamberg, Coburg and Nuremberg!
