This hotel is situated close to the high street of Speyer - only a 5-7 minutes walk from the Cathedral (the main sight). Der Goldener Engel seems a bit shoddy, but the room was ok and quiet. Breakfast was nice and the staff helpful and lively.

The Goldener Engel is centrally located and offers clean and comfortable accommodation.
We stayed in a suite with a spacious sitting room with sofa, armchairs and a writing desk , there was plenty of cupboard space next to the bedroom and the beds were comfortable apart from 'towel like' sheets.

Breakfast was served in a bright, clean white dining room with a very reasonable choice of food including some home made bread and home made pastries, the coffee was also strong and good.

The staff were pleasant and helpful both at the reception desk and at breakfast.

On the negative side, the Goldener Engel is rather bland if not a little ugly and somewhat short on atmosphere.


Speyer is a pretty town with an imposing cathedral and some excellent museums. There are plenty of good eating places and bars, we tried and liked the Dombrauerei, the Kutscherhaus and the Ratskeller.
Heidelberg is in easy driving distance and makes for a very rewarding and enjoyable couple of days visiting .

We enjoyed the Goldener Engel. We had a large corner room, with several chairs and a couch. The room had air conditioning, but we didn't use it because it was chilly. The room was huge, so it didn’t really matter that it lacked charm. Breakfast was good.

The hotel is close to the old city, and we walked to the Dom in 5 minutes. Speyer is a great town. The bath was adequate and clean.
