Gasthof Hotel Schwarzes Roß

Our second visit, again around Opera in Bayreuth. This time we had an apartment which was ideal for our week’s stay. Comfortable, spacious, very clean, quite basic. There’s a good and popular restaurant serving traditional dishes in the main building and where there’s also a good breakfast buffet. Very friendly owner and staff. A lovely area. All so much more pleasant and better value than staying in Bayreuth.

This hotel is a short drive from Beyreuth. The owner left keys in baskets at the front door for arriving hotel guests. The location is very quiet and tranquil. I was in Apartment 2 in the building across from the restaurant - there is a second building up a hill. The apartment was larger than mine in NYC - sizable kitchen, living room and bedroom with a private patio. It was a comfortable space and was very clean. There was a welcome basket containing cold cuts, bread, wine, and cheese. The Wi-Fi was fast and easy to access. Breakfast, included in the fee, was a buffet, although omelets could be requested. The restaurant is also a well known dinner spot. This is a very special venue and it is clear that the owner takes pride in taking such care of the hotel and its guests. The cost of a room was a bargain compared to the fees in Beyreuth.
