Waischenfeld hotels

Pros: We came with 2 kids, the knights theme was authentic and real, we where almost alone as out of season, so this was even more special visit

Pros: View It‘s a castle! Evening drinks at fireplace. Funny guided tour. Helpful waiter

Cons: No flexibility in providing vegan breakfast- even after request sent months in advance all I could get was soy drink. Also the one vegan dish at dinner was a bit boring and overpriced.

Pros: Bed was comfortable and I took advantage of the bath in the bathroom.

Cons: Staff was not very friendly or informative. I was not able to eat breakfast the first day because I had to be out at 7 and breakfast didn’t start until 8. I didn’t know until check out that I paid for both breakfasts since I didn’t let them know I wouldn’t be eating the first morning. I also tried to check out at 7am the second morning and was told that no one would be there until 8am so I would have to wait. There was not very good service even with the WiFi.

Pros: Fantastic

Cons: Hall and room were a bit cold

Pros: Everything

Pros: Beautiful building and surroundings. Food was excellent, too.

Cons: Just beautiful, wished we could have stayed longer.

Pros: It's a very relaxing location to stay during the week. Obviously aimed at tourists in the area, as a business traveller it was very nice and enjoyed my stay too

Cons: The hotel doesn't have standard dining options in the evening but there are plenty alternatives close by and you can still sit and enjoy a beer or bbq

Cons: Very Old rooms. Bathroom was smelling old. Breakfast was low quality. All tables are dirty and full of dishes as we enter the restaurant. No good choice and well prepared as well.

Pros: The management had excellent facilities for storing our motorcycles overnight.

Cons: The dining area was a bit dark. Open the net curtains up for light and view

Pros: localisation

Cons: bathroom equipment - shampoo and comfort of beds - mattresses.

Pros: Nice restaurant, good breakfast, very good location, close to other villages, very helpfull staff.

Pros: Location is very nice; There is a private parking for the property;

Cons: Didn’t had bathroom in the room, was a shared one.

Pros: The lady who is running the place is very friendly. Rooms are on the small side but still comfy. Great, clean bathroom with shower gel. Wonderful location, nice views, good parking.

Cons: Beds could be just slightly wider, but it was ok like this as well :)

Pros: The breakfast was generous and very good, with plenty of options. The lady in charge of the breakfast area was particularly friendly and very pleasant.

Cons: We've had our evening meal in the hotel which was rather disappointing: It was high season for asparagus but it was stringy and too expensive for the poor quality. Unusual for the area. I did not want a reduction of the bill but I hope the comment was passed on to the kitchen. We were a little forgotten about once our main meal was served and I had to fetch the waitress personally to order more drinks. The hotel is a bit of an odd mix. Some areas are nicely refurbished but let down by ancient doors and mismatched interiors.

Pros: Everything about this hotel was outstanding. We arrived right when the restaurant was closing and they kept it open so we could eat. The room was very large and breakfast was one of the best we’ve had in Europe. The hotel is in the center of the town and the staff went out of there way to make our stay comfortable.

Pros: Locations

Cons: Staff behavior

Pros: Nice hotel, great amenities, good breakfast

Cons: Staff were not accommodating upon arrival, more focused on restaurant visitors then hotel guests checking in.

Pros: Excellent breakfast, hotel located in the nice village. Dedicated parking. Okay for a one night stay.

Cons: Bed a bit uncomfortable

Pros: Breakfast. Very good offer plus very nice service. Restaurant have a very tasty food, yet service is terrible. Room was pretty clean.

Cons: My idea was to rest after all day of hiking, use spa offer, chill (was my birthday). BUT.. i left hotel more tired then as i arrived. First of all i felt there like unwanted person. 1) hotel restaurant: very bad service. one example: When i asked if there is option to add bill to our hotel bill (its just simpler for us and we show our hotel key) I heard back from waiter that he does not care if we are staying in hotel or not (es ist mir total egal ob....). It felt very rude. I felt like he had some problems and he needed to release his anger and he did it on us. 2) Room have bademantel but not slippers, means if you go to SPA you need to walk on your naked foots. 3) Room can be very easily open if door are little pushed. You need to remember to always lock them even if you are inside room. 4) Matrace… one of the worse I had pleasure to sleep (and I travel a lot). I woke up with back pain and very tired. 5) in SPA: - you need to have room key to open doors to SPA, yet no place inside to change/lock your staff (or leave key) - there is not enough space close to sauna to put 2x mantel and towels. You need to look for space. - when you leave sauna you want to take shower. Simple... yet shower offer only very cold water. Not everyone is used to it. I like to start from warm water and then change to colder. In place of one shower was standing cover for jacuzzi. O_o - Area to rest after sauna. All would be good if not someone who enter fully covered in clothes and start to take off everything. Including shoes (looked like arbeitsschuhe), making a lot of nice. I left sauna stressed. That's not point of SPA. For anyone who look to rest, chill, spend some quiet time.. i highly DO NOT recommend this place.

Pros: Very friendly staff, wonderful breakfast, pet friendly, clean, beautiful view

Pros: Perfect stay. Super breakfast, eggs done the right way, not dried out, even veggies were in the buffet, good coffee! The wellness area was good 2 saunas, steam room and small pool. They switched the sauna on at 7 am when asked - almost never happens! We had originally a 3-person room booked, and we asked for an extra bed put in for a 4th person and they charged 25 Eur for it, but when we arrived we got a suite with an extra room and 2 perfect single beds. Mattresses are just perfect, firm but not too hard. Plenty of parking spaces, right in front and behind the hotel, no charge. Hair dryer in the bathroom, minibar, fridge. The wifi was strong and no frills - no password needed, we got online in no time.

Cons: Liked really everything - and I usually a fussy traveller ;-)

Pros: * Staff was excellent * absolutely quiet * enjoy the kitchen

Cons: Nothing really - you will be happy to stay at this place

Pros: Very calm and relaxing during the day, t with a good restaurant and an excellent hotel bar in the evening. Staff super friendly, rooms (with balcony) were spacey, modern and comfy. Close to lots of good Frankonian restaurants in town, great starting point for little hikes. Great value for money.

Cons: everything was indeed great, no complaints

Pros: Breakfast was excellent. The variety was great and the coffee was wonderful. The location is absolutely wonderful. Lots of things to see and do.

Cons: I leave this up to people who like to complain.

Cons: Pottenstein, although small, is a lovely place to explore. We did the night tour which was a real plus. Surroundings great too.

Pros: Location very good.

Cons: Communication from staff could have been better. Not told about parking arrangements or Ruhe Tag. Some breakfast items not freshly put out. Side door to hotel not locked so lacked security.

Pros: Excellent location, in the middle of the town and surrounded by restaurants. Very nicely decorated place

Pros: It’s a family owned vintage hotel having great amenities to throw you back in time. The place is super clean, conveniently located and has a great restaurant inside features amazing breakfasts and beautiful views from the dining room as well as from the rooms that are on the river side of the building.

Cons: It’s a perfect place

Pros: hotellaged

Cons: Z.T. unprofessional

Pros: Wonderful food, great breakfast and regional specialties

Cons: Request for WiFi was quite curtly denied, would have been happy to pay daily fee, as WiFi was available in at least general area. The shower in the room had only a half screen, which let a lot of water spray on to the floor, wet, unpleasant and dangerous.

Pros: It was clean and very practical. The staff was very accommodating and friendly and even provided breakfast early before our long day.

Cons: Rooms a bit dated. Lots of smoking right outside the front entrance causing the smell to move into the hotel and up the staircase.

Pros: Fantastic hotel. Spotlessly clean, spacious rooms, awesome breakfasts, close to everything in the village. Good wi-fi. Great staff.

Cons: The church bells were sometimes a little loud at 6am. But lovely at the same time.

Pros: The Apartment was really very clean and the breakfast was a pleasant surprise for us. Stuff is very friendly and helpful. We can warmly recommend this property for a short stay with a family.

Pros: Location

Cons: Breakfast

Pros: The Forellenhof is an a cluster of hotels, that unfortunately do not match the franconian beauty town of Pottenstein. However, the rooms are in top shape: My room was spacious, spotless and recently renovated. This was a great deal for the money! I stayed there in the down season, so the restaurant downstairs closed early, just like a lot of other businesses in town.

Pros: My stay in the hotel was good and the personnel was very friendly. Nice and clean rooms, very quit. Dinner was very good, especially the 'Forelle alt Frankische'

Pros: The friendly and truly helpful attitude of the owner is something really valuable. The apartment is very clean. It is fantastic and quiet location. Breakfast with all you need to feel that you eat as good as at home. In summary: This is good and quality accommodation.

Cons: The frame of one bed was slightly noisy when we sleep. Probably some small maintenance would make this problem solved. The rest was just fine.

Pros: The staff were very friendly. The food at the restaurant was delicious! We are looking forward to another stay here.

Pros: Room was big and comfortable. Very nice staff. Internet without any issues. Location is very good. Food in restaurant also very good. I stayed there for 1 night and was pretty happy during stay.

Cons: I think just the price for room and prices in restaurant were little too high but that all.

Pros: Friendly and welcoming hotel in an excellent location for exploring the region (cave, castle, summer toboggan runs and some great walks all on the doorstep). Breakfast is a your standard German rolls, cured meats, cheese and jams, but a good version of what it is, and the staff are happy to tweak the odd thing or provide a refill of coffee where desired. The restaurant, as the name would suggest, is great for trout.

Cons: Only one minor complaint: The pillows were enormous beasts which were hard to arrange comfortably. Franconian cuisine is archetypically German meat and potatoes - there are good (and bad) local eateries, but you'll need to drive if you want variety.

Pros: We were very pleased with our stay at the Forellenhof. Our room was large, attractive and well-equipped. In addition the view from the large balcony was wonderful, and our room was quiet. Management and staff were all very helpful and were friendly as well. Breakfast was plentiful, well-organized and relaxed and included a good range of fresh fruit and "Brötchen".

Cons: Pottenstein is certainly not a Franken Cannes or Positano, but it is a pleasant town in an attractive area -- an excellent base for walking in the forests or visiting Bayreuth and other towns.

Pros: The location is excellent in the center of town close to restaurants in a pretty town. The staff was very friendly and the room was very spacious and cosy (in fact it was a free upgrade). The breakfast was very good with many choices. There was free parking close to the hotel.

Pros: The hostess was very welcoming and helpful. Haus Jutta is in a good location, close to the bus stop and the town centre, and it was clean and comfortable.

Pros: Great breakfast each morning. Good variety and very relaxed.

Pros: Staff were extra nice, rooms clean, and breakfast was amazing all at a really affordable price. Plus the location...such a beautiful town. Simply breathtaking.

Cons: The scent of hand soap in the bathroom was too strong. Other than that everything was perfect.

Pros: Centrally located in Pottenstein. Quiet and reasonably clean room. Very efficient and powerful heating, which made it easy to get a nice, warm temperature in the room. Internet worked well in the room itself (but not at all in the restaurant on the ground floor). Friendly staff. The breakfast was great value for the additional money (5€)! It was rich and e.g. boiled eggs, ham, cheese and fresh fruits were served. On the Sunday there was even an option to have scrambled or fried eggs. The host continuously re-filled the dishes during the breakfast time.

Cons: Furniture and equipment in the room worked perfectly well, but it was evident that the last renovation did not happen recently. The bathroom was on the small side.

Pros: As mentioned above, size of rooms, balcony, surrounding, easy access to the city center.

Cons: The owner/staff could not communicate in English and understood nothing. It is difficult for a visitor from outside Germany. Breakfast is very ordinary.

Pros: Perfect with connecting rooms for our family.

Pros: Lovely and very clean room, a little outdated but nicely equipped, you get the feeling you're in some English country cottage.

Pros: Excellent breakfast. Proprietor was very welcoming and tried very hard to help.

Pros: Friendly, near the rocks

Cons: Coffee could be a little bit better

Pros: Great place to stay. Very nice and friendly host. Tnx a lot

Pros: Very nice hotel. Regina is sweet. We loved our stay

Pros: Comfy hotel, very helpful staff, great cold drinks available day and night at sensible prices.

Pros: Beautifully furnished rooms! The owner is very sweet! Fabulous location. Wifi works perfectly.

Cons: It was rather cold in all the house and rooms. No heating in November...

Pros: Excellent Breakfast! Incredibly friendly and helpful staff. Extraordinary location directly in the village yet only 3 minutes from the trails along the cliffs. Fantastic value for the money. The bed was comfy, the room was *very* quiet and peaceful, and the place is extremely clean and orderly, with a good balance between modern and charming décor. It is a humble family business, but very authentic and comfortable. Cannot emphasise enough how pleasant and helpful the owners are! Can't wait to go back!

Pros: Clean, nice breakfast and very friendly staff even though they did not speak english.

Cons: The room was very small (suggestion to the pension's owners: the two armchairs are not necessary and only occupy space) so there was little space for our luggages and stuff. Internet connection was bad

Pros: Very friendly service, good breakfast, nice an clean room

Cons: No complaints what so ever

Pros: Very nice design, spacious place, friendly owners, fabulous breakfest

Cons: There was bad smell in the bathroom
