The hotel is a lovely, boutique-styled guest house in the center of downtown Sulzbach-Rosenberg. My reservation was made easily through Booking.com. The restaurant and guest rooms are very charming and individually decorated. My room was small but inviting and well appointed and my stay was very comfortable. There was some neighborhood noise (church bells, voices, cars) with the room window open that I did not hear once I closed the windows. There was no A/C or fan in the room. A friend staying in a different room had a hard time sleeping without a fan or other white noise.

Although the hotel advertised free in-room Wi-Fi, I was unable to get a Wi-Fi signal in my room (21). With a DSL cable provided by the owner, I had good, fast internet access during my stay.

The included breakfast had a good selection of typical Bavarian food options (bread, meat, cheese, eggs, fruit, yogurt). I ate dinner at the restaurant twice. Their beer is very good, but I was unimpressed with the dinner menu. There are plenty of other food options within close walking distance.

The staff was quite friendly and spoke English fairly well. The most difficult aspect of my stay was trying to get the Value-Added Tax refunded to me (as a non-EU resident). Fortunately, it worked but it meant staying until "the bureau lady" came mid-morning, making me late for a work meeting. Just know that it might be problematic to get VAT excluded from the room cost.

My wife, daughter and I had a delightful stay at the Sperber hotel.

We made reservations by direct email contact with the hotel. The hotel was responsive to our email contacts (we had some follow-up questions). They also let us make reservations without providing a credit card number.

The hotel was beautifully renovated a few years ago. Although our room was not large, it was more than adequate, and it included a good bathroom with shower.

A good breakfast is included in the price of the room. The hotel's food was so good that we eat dinner at the hotel each night. The Sperber's also have their own brewery, and their beer is great.

The only drawback we experienced is that our room was located just above the hotel kitchen and part of the hotel restaurant. Because many people come to the hotel late at night for beer, and because the weather let us keep our windows open at night, we could here noise from below when trying to sleep. Next time, I would ask for a room in a more quiet location.

Despite this one drawback, we will certainly stay at this hotel again if we return to Sulzbach Rosenberg.
