We booked a Comfort (= Standard) Room during the Bayreuth Wagner Festival for a fair price (148 EUR incl. breakfast).

The hotel itself, a standard conference hotel right around the corner from Bayreuth's picturesque Old Town, is nothing to write home about, but they added some nice touches such as free soft drinks in the lobby or some printed information on the Wagner opera of the evening on your breakfast table.

The room was basic, but had all the comfort we needed. Unfortunately, it had a strange "locker room" odor. If you need a mini bar or in-room safe deposite box, you should upgrade to a Superior Room. The whole premises have T-Mobile W-LAN access which was very convenient. Our room was absolutely quiet - always a big plus.

Front desk was very helpful when asked for directions and taxi reservations.

Hot breakfast buffet offered many variations and was a good opportunity for celebrity spotting, as the hotel - as basic as it is - is one of the places to stay during the Bayreuth Festival.

We stayed here for four nights as part of the Bayreuth Leger coach tour. We'd repeatedly told Leger that we were vegetarian and they in turn assured us that the hotel would be able to cater for us. Out of our four nights there, we had only one edible, proper meal. As this was over the Christmas period, we were particularly disappointed - why is it so difficult for hotels to cater properly for people who don't eat meat or fish? We were promised vegetable lasagne one night but this didn't materialise until the following evening; in effect, we were only offered salad as a starter (except for the one night when, miracle of miracles, they managed to prepare a soup without meat or fish for us), and pasta with tomato sauce (looked like heated up ketchup to us...). Very very disappointing. Despite this being a four star hotel, the public spaces (at least those available to us) were extremely small; the bar was minute and, if you didn't hurtle yourself into this tiny little space immediately after your meal, there was no room and all seats were taken up with people helping to ensure a wholly carcinogenic atmosphere throughout. You could barely see for smoke. So, apart from THIS 'space', there were four seats in reception...or your room. That was it. Most disappointing - maybe they could open up one or more of their much-vaunted conference rooms when groups of tourists are staying with them - they lost a lot of money because people just left immediately after dinner since so little space was available.
Don't bother.

A very good choice: a standard room proved to be extremely comfortable, in a quiet location, within walking distance of all the sights, and extremely affordable ( 74 Euros including a brilliant breakfast). The entrance hall doesn't match the above impression, but don't let that put you off. You'll find plenty of free parking places just around the corner, so don't 'get overcharged with the hotel garage.

This Ramada-Treff property provides an excellent balance between reasonable price and good quality. The room was clean and modern and the hotel common areas small, but very nice. The breakfast buffet was not included in our package, but even adding it on separately kept the overall price of this hotel well within the range of hotels offering a breakfast package. Parking was reasonable and under the hotel. The market area was nearby and the Wagner museum not a bad hike. The only negative was that the hotel was a bit hard to find using the hotel's instructions. That aside, this is a very good value.
