I have to admit that this review is for a stay a couple of years ago but despite a couple of recent reviews I doubt that much has changed in that time, nor in the last hundred years! I stayed for two nights on business and this hotel is so far removed from the usual business style hotels that I... More

If you want a hotel in Bayreuth which is different from the usual chain hotels and which is interesting, traditional and of the highest quality, seek no further. Right in the centre of the pedestrian area this building has been a hotel since the 1700's and has been run by the same family for the whole time. What a record!... More

If you like old world charm, wonderfully comfortable rooms, genuinely caring staff (who all wear 18th century period costume) and a great restuarant serving delicious traditional German food, then look no further than the Golden Anchor. If you like plastic sterile modern hotels then you need to look elsewhere, but for a hotel right in the heart of Bayreuth and... More

We booked this hotel for our Tay during the Richard Wagner Festival following a recommendation of a friend. The place is nicely decorated. All staff are dressed in period costume. The housekeepers are the best. The room is keep beautifully cleaned, with clothing items all nicely folded up. When they provide the turn down service, they even put your PJ... More

This was our third stay at this hotel during the Wagner festival over the course of about 7 years. The hotel is a wonderful building in a wonderful location and with a quirky style all of its own. It is extremely expensive during the festival. We loved the hotel the first two times we stayed but were disappointed this time... More

This is a charming 18th century house converted into a small hotel. It is ideal for people visiting the Bayreuth Wagner Festival, being in the Old Town, and just a mile or so from the Opera House. It is comfortable, the food is good, and the staff are delighful. Just one word of caution: it is very expensive during the... More

I stayed in that hotel for just a short while. The room we got was small, however the bed comfortable. The insulation to the other rooms was so poor, that you could hear every noise, apparently to the structure of this historic building being really old. The person in the room above us was constantly trampling, and the beams supporting... More

We as a family run, historic hotel and as a traditional home provide hotel and restaurant services for hundreds of guests every year. Especially during the festival period in Bayreuth the hotel is completely booked up. Most of our guests have been visiting us for many years, appreciating not only the sophisticated interior design of our classy traditional home, but... More

I stayed at the hotel before and was disappointed, however wanted to give it another chance. However my plans changed and I needed to return the same day I arrived. The hotel didn’t accept a cancellation 72h prior to arrival and insisted on the policy stipulated in the booking confirmation. So I decided to at least check into the hotel,... More

We have taken note of the comment, posted on August 3, 2012. The statements of this “guest” concerning his stay at our hotel are simply untrue! We provide accommodation and catering services for hundreds of guests every year and especially during the festival period in Bayreuth the hotel is completely booked up.
