Easy to find in the middle of Kulmbach's central park. 7 minutes walk to a beautiful city centre. On a busy road, but very quiet once you're through the front door. Old fashioned, but we love old fashioned. Owner speaks perfect English. His family have owned the hotel for 140 years. (His suggestions for restaurants were both excellent.) The breakfast room has newly been updated. Breakfast really good with local produce. They have a guests' after-hours bar which we made full use of. Very handy for the bus to Bayreuth, Wagner fans! We will stay here again.
Nettes, kleines, familiäres Hotel. Kein Luxus aber alles was man braucht und recht neu renovierte Zimmer. Wir hatten ein schönes Zimmer mit toller Aussicht auf den Stadtpark.
Kunterbunte wenig geschmackvolle Einrichtung im Eingangsbereich.
Zimmer grundsätzlich ok. Jedoch befindet sich unter der Matratze anstelle eines Lattenrostes ein Brett. Bequem ist das in keinster Weise.
Wir waren dort für eine Nacht. Dafür war es ok. Der Empfang war etwas lustlos. Man wollte nicht wirklich dass wir Frühstück dazu buchen. Von außen ist das Hotel nicht attraktiv. Innen ist es besser. ABER dass die Heizung nachts im Juni läuft und man sie NICHT ausschalten kann ist ein Witz! Die Betten knallhart und super unbequem. Wir sind mit RÜCKENSCHMERZEN aufgewacht und waren froh dass wir nur 1 Nacht gebucht haben.
The room was nice and clean, we found everything we needed for a one-night stay. The location was good too, walking distance from downtown.
It would have been nice if there was a recycling bin in the room as well.
Very Good service . The room is very clean. The location is convenient to down town

Godt til en enkelt nat på turen sydpå
Udefra ser hotellet lidt usselt ud, men værelset var moderne,stort og rent. Der har engang været en have, men det er vist mange år siden,den er passet!
Wir haben zwei Nächte hier verbracht und uns wohlgefühlt. Die Lage ist prima, um Kulmbach zu Fuß zu erkunden und für den Besuch der Plassenburg! Weniger wander-freudige Menschen nehmen hierfür den häufig verkehrenden Bus. Abwärts läuft es sich gut! Das Zimmer ist praktisch und sauber. Die Rollos waren hilfreich, um trotz Hitze bei offenen Fenstern zu schlafen. Die Terrasse mit Blick auf den Park schön für einen Schlaftrunk. Das Ehepaar Ertl ist sehr hilfsbereit und gibt Tipps für Restaurants, die man zu Fuß erreichen kann, während das Auto vor der Tür geparkt bleibt! Auf Frühstück haben wir verzichtet, da es dies nur bis neun Uhr gibt. Aber wir habn das Alpha-Cafe entdeckt mit lauschigem Garten und dort würden wir wieder frühstücken, wenn wir im Hotel Ertl absteigen würden - Kulmbach lädt ein zum Wiederkommen!
Sehr nette und hilfsbereite Gastgeber, saubere gemütliche Zimmer, Hotel Zentrumsnah an einem kleinen Park gelegen. Ordentliches Frühstück mit gutem Kaffee, wir waren sehr zufrieden.
