Hotel Goldener Hirsch

From the outside in: Parking for cars was available in the courtyard, though extremely tight (and we do not drive an SUV). Motto: Better a narrow parking space than none at all. The receptionist seemed to be present at all hours of the day and night, was very supportive, and anticipated our requests before we had even voiced them. Amazing, that (or simply experience). The beds were good to very good. The room facing the inner courtyard was quiet, though without a view, just looking out at technical equipment and a boring flat roof. The bathroom was okay. Everything seemed clean, and there was a shoe-shining machine on the ground floor. The breakfast buffet was good to very good.

An immensely friendly atmosphere and excellent service! The hotel is close to the train station but very quiet. The city center is only a few minutes away. A good choice!

Very happy with my stay here. From the first email inquiry to checking out I have nothing to complain about. The hotel is an easy walk from the main station, which was important to me since I didn’t want to have to rely on taxi/public transport, and because I arrived on a Sunday (shops closed in Germany) and knew I could grab water, the odd snack and fruit at the small store inside the station. From first entry the absolute neatness of the hotel stood out. The décor may be a little dated, but it didn’t bother me as it was well maintained. The two concierges I met were welcoming and helpful. My single room was near the main stairs and as neat as the rest of the hotel. A perfect little space for my needs. Traffic was heavy during the day but it was very quiet during the night. Breakfast offered anything one could want and need, service was prompt and friendly, and again, super clean and neat. I ate dinner at the in-house Italian restaurant, wisely booking a table. It was full, mostly with hotel guests, and several were turned away. If I’m ever in Bayreuth again I won’t hesitate staying at Goldener Hirsch, and happily recommend it to others, especially women travelling alone, as I felt safe here.
