My girlfriend and I wanted a cheap and centrally located hotel in beautiful Bamberg, and that's what we got. On arrival we were reminded by the friendly and helpful receptionist that the room we booked came with a shared toilet. Neither of us minded - we knew this was why it was so cheap.
We got to our room to find it clean and pleasant, if a little dated and sterile.
We then checked out the shared toilet and it was pretty grim. It stank of a fresh one and looked completely out of place compared to the attractive decor of the hallway. It looked like that tiny little bog a school caretaker might have in his office. It needs to be sorted because it really isn't pleasant.
After a comfortable night's sleep we headed down to breakfast. We were welcomed by the friendly and diligent host, who was very attentive to all the guests. The continental breakfast was excellent. Lots of varieties of meats, pâté, cheeses, bread and all fresh and authentically German. Thoroughly enjoyable.
The hotel is perfectly placed. Just a 5-10 minute stroll to the UNESCO World Heritage centre and ideally placed for the train station too, which is about a 20 minute walk away.
Overall we were pleased with our choice to stay at Hotel Central. Good value for money if you're on a budget, especially with the fantastic breakfast, but the toilet on the third floor needs a makeover and a good clean.

Hotel Central is a no-frills lodging in a fairly good location, offering friendly service at competitive rates. However, its rooms, decorations notwithstanding, feel rather cold and soulless, and are not so clean.

The hotel occupies a historic building that is close to geographical center of the city as well as to ZOB (central bus station) and a taxi stand. It is also located in-between Bamberg Bahnhof (train station) and Altstadt (old city), and can provide a convenient base for exploring the city. This does not mean that it is at the center of all the action; it is at the edge of the UNESCO world heritage designated zone that contains virtually all the tourist attractions. For sightseeing, hotels near the famous Altes Rathaus and the Dom are even more convenient. As for the access to Bahnhof, it’s still a bit of a walk through some not-so-interesting neighborhoods. Proximity to good shopping is one strength, since nearby Grüner Markt and Lange Straße are full of interesting shops and bakeries.

The hotel façade looks atmospheric, staffs are friendly and accommodating, and breakfast is okay. The room, however, was below-average. Somehow, the color tones, furniture, and wall-hung pictures fail to create a sense of welcoming warmth and comfort, but feel more like an old hospital. Bathroom sanitation is below the usually high German standards; there are questionable colors on the toilet, along with mildew on the wall and the shower stall. The said shower stall is small and shower curtain hinders movement. Amenities are very basic, as to be expected from its low rates.

Hotel Central targets budget travelers looking for a good location to sleep in. In some aspects it satisfies what is expected, but unfortunately cleanliness and warm comfort are not among those. Depending on the guests’ requirements it could be a suitable choice; weigh your options.

We were looking for last minute budget accomodation in Bamberg and found this Hotel on Booking.com. It is consistently the second cheapest hotel in bamberg if you're looking to stay central and not in a neighboring town. We found that anything cheaper would only have saved us between 15 and 20 Australian dollars and was at least 10 kms away.

We werent expecting much considering the average night in bamberg cost about $150 but we were pleasantly surprised. The front reception were friendly, the room clean and spacey. We had a shared toilet but an internal shower which was different but didn't cause any issues.

Wi fi was poor in the room but usable in the corridor. The location was very central, as the name of the hotel suggests and made our one night in bamberg very enjoyable!
