This is a wonderful hotel that makes any visit to the Bayreuth Wagner Festival extremely special. Little touches include the little note at breakfast announcing the forthcoming performance, the apéro in the afternoon before a shuttle-bus trip to and from the Festspielhaus and the option to dine after a performance. Even seeing the music on the stave above the beds is charming.

We were there for the annual Opera Festival. Many of the guests were there for the festival also. The hotel arranged bus transportation (for a small fee) for everyone, and each night had a champaign get together before departing. The breakfast buffet was wonderful, and the staff was very helpful in every way. The room only had 2 twin beds, so that was the only negative.

Cute clean town

The hotel is well taken care of, but the room was a bit dated and quite high noise from the AC. The town is cute and clean, well worth a visit.

Of the six hotels I stayed in during my trip, this was by far the best. It was also the least expensive: a great deal for a place this nice. The staff was very helpful, the breakfast buffet was worth the price, and the room was quiet and comfortable. I recommend it highly

Very nice staff. Friendly and professional. Going above and beyond to make me feel comfortable. Very helpful with helping me organize my trips to the Bayreuth festival as well to the museums. Nice breakfast and snacks. Nice cocktail atmosphere before the opera. They run the place very well. I wish they have a restaurant for lunch & dinner.

Hotel Rheingold was a very nice, clean and safe local hotel. It was easy walking distance from the train station (19 minutes) and just across the main road to Old Town Bayreuth. We walked to the Festspielhaus and only took about 20 minutes. We were in Bayreuth to see all the Richard Wagner history. This hotel was a perfect hotel for easy navigation and close walks to all the museums and attractions. It is also a 5 minute walk from the Maisel's Bier-Erlebniswelt...Great local beer!! We certainly recommend this hotel.

We have stayed at this hotel a couple of times and found it quite convenient. The hotel offers a shuttle to and from the Bayreuther Festspiele and included in the shuttle bus price is a small aperitif while waiting. The hotel is very close to the city center and we also found a very nice walking/bike path along a river behind the hotel. Some of the rooms don't have air-conditioning so if you are there over the summer you may want to request a room with AC. If none are available, they do have fans to help keep you cool. The breakfast had many choices and the staff was attentive. There is a private parking lot attached to the hotel and we paid 10 euros per day. The front desk staff were very efficient and helpful plus they are there 24 hours.

Reasonable with Some Shortcomings

Hotel Rheingold was generally comfortable and well-appointed, but there were some shortcomings. The fitness center was disappointing, with only two aerobic exercise machines, including one very squeaky bike. There wasn’t a tea or coffee pot in the room, which required “borrowing” one and carrying it from the front desk. And, with no room refrigerator, the only option was storing items in the communal refrigerator in the front desk office. And, be sure to bring shampoo, as only liquid soap is provided in the shower. Though friendly enough, the staff wasn’t overly warm when fielding these issues. The hotel is located a bit away the old town area, but it’s a fairly easy walk to enjoy the charm of Bayreuth. So despite some inconveniences, Hotel Rheingold overall is a reasonable choice for the price and location.

There was no food option in the hotel after breakfast. If they have staffing issues having a list of suggsted restaurants nearby would have been nice. Nope, not the case. They don’t clean the rooms every day unless you ask (there is a note in the room about this); this doesn’t make sense now after covid! The bathroom has one soap for all purposes (hand, body, hair) and no lotion. No iron or ironing board. The staff were sweet enough to call me taxis both times I asked. Room was clean and working AC wall unit, and clean towels.

Wir waren zwei Nächte dort, es war wirklich klasse, das Frühstück war top. Die Zimmer waren sicherlich okay, nicht so extrem modern, aber uns hat es gefallen. Wie immer, in fast jedem Hotel ist das der Fall, dass WLAN auf der Zimmerebene ein wenig schwach, aber es gibt Wichtigeres. Ein tolles Frühstück, sehr umfangreich zu einem wirklich sehr fairen Preis. Auch das muss hervorgehoben werden. Die Leute, die uns bedient haben, waren sehr freundlich und die Atmosphäre auch nicht als Abfertigung zu sehen. Vielen Dank und bis bald .
