The hotel is charming, impeccably managed, and serves an excellent breakfast. The staff are courteous and attentive, going out of their way to accommodate guests’ needs. One employee in particular, Sebastian, displayed a remarkable gift for customer relations. Staying at this hotel makes one feel part of the Wagnerian mirage, as though mingling with figures from the world of great music. Located just steps from the Wagner Museum and the Margravial Opera House, and within comfortable walking distance of the Bayreuth Festspielhaus, Goldener Anker is a must for both the seasoned traveler and the newcomer. Highly recommended.

The lack of conveniences can be excused in a 265 year continuously operated family hotel of charm and character. In trudging up the slanting stairs remember that Arturo Toscanini and Richard Wagner made the same trip heard the same squeaks and squeals and be grateful to be in the same space. Another rare bonus is that a seated full breakfast is included.

Super location, friendly staff, but..

The service was very friendly and helpful. The location is great, next to the Opera House. The old part of the hotel was charming and I imagine the rooms were very nice. The room I was given was in the newer section and very bland and not very comfortable. It was not consistent with the pictures shown when I booked here. I was not happy with the value and would not go back.

Cozy historical landmark to stay in

It is the perfect place if you like a cozy, old house feel, historical landmark to stay in. You pay a premium for that, and I was happy to pay it for my pilgrimage to Wagner sites. My room was individual and these never get the same love as the other bigger ones, but I have no complaints. Beautiful common areas and dining room. Very friendly staff.

Historisches Ambiente mit Servicemängeln

Das Hotel liegt absolut zentral in der Altstadt von Bayreuth in einem liebevoll erhaltenen historischen Gebäude. Die meisten Sehenswürdigkeiten liegen fußläufig. Die Parkplätze sind kostenpflichtig, preiswerter sind die in der unmittelbaren Nähe gelegenen öffentlichen Parkhäuser. Wir hatten ein wunderschönes geräumiges Zimmer, alles war sauber und zweckmäßig eingerichtet. Geärgert haben wir uns über das Hotelfrühstück. Es gab alles auf Bestellung, die Auswahl war dürftig, das Personal sichtlich überfordert. Dieses war einem Hotel dieser Kategorie nicht angemessen.

Ældre charmerende hotel.

Ældre, men charmerende hotel. Mange trapper, ingen elevator. Stort problem er mulighed for at spise. Hotellets restaurant er lukket mandag og tirsdag. Ligesom mange andre restauranter i byen. Dette oplyses ikke gennem Hotels com. Dejlig morgenmad og ualmindelig god service i morgenmadsrestauranten . Generelt er Bayreuth ikke særlig turist venlig. Alt er skrevet på tysk. Ingen taler engelsk.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Unsere Buchung wurde beim Check-In nicht gefunden, das war schon suboptimal. Das Personal war hier aber sehr nett und flexibel und hat uns auch ein Upgrade gegeben. Bis auf eine Dame, die vehement forderte, dass wir unseren Zimmerschlüssel abgeben, war das Personal grundsätzlich sehr nett. Besonders ärgerlich war, dass unser Zimmer nicht gemacht wurde, obwohl wir ab 10.30 Uhr unterwegs waren. Dafür wurde sich auch nicht entschuldigt. Für ein Superior Zimmer war auch die Toilette nicht angemessen. Hier gab es keinen Mülleimer, die Toilette selbst war etwas betagt, die Tapete blättert allmählich ab und generell riecht die Toilette etwas feucht und muffig. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung, mehr auch nicht, wenn auch sehr übersichtlich portioniert. Das geht ebenfalls besser. Es war mein zweiter Aufenthalt im Anker und dieses Mal auch mein letzter. Schade, denn Bausubstanz, Historie und Lage des Hauses sind wirklich prima.
