    The only thing we didn't like was having to leave one day earlier due to a train strike.

    We liked the originality of the accommodation. The owner made everything in wood and it was exceptional. Even a sauna in our room. He met us and told us the history of the building, age, etc. Everythjng was clean and perfect. I would highly recommend this accommodation.

    Was (a few times) a little noisy given cobbled street with traffic outside our ground floor apartment. Would have been nice to have a sofa/comfy chairs but I'm being picky, we would definitely stay here again.

    Great location - so close to the centre so very easy to walk everywhere. Lovely restored apartment, the woodwork is amazing. Comfortable beds and well equipped kitchen.

    It’s quite noisy from an early morning (traffic), but the earplugs are provided at the nightstands:) Two sets of linen were missing (there were 2 for the 4 people) but fortunately we found a cabinet in the corridor where the spare ones were stored;)

    The flat is at the heart of the old town and is at the historic building (the floor and stairs in the staircase are a couple of centuries old, I suppose). It’s spacious enough and comfortable for a family of 4. Kitchen is well equipped. Very close to the cathedral (Dom) and Altes Rathaus, near the river.

    Excellent apartment near the centre of Bamberg, but be prepared for the noise.

    When we arrived we wondered why there were packs of ear plugs on the bedside tables .... we found out that night: street noise from revellers (especially on weekends) is incredible. And it continues till around 1:30am. The noise was the main negative to what was otherwise a wonderful stay in lovely Bamberg. Another somewhat unsatisfactory requirement is the method of payment - only by direct bank deposit prior to the stay.

    Great location near the center of the Altstadt, so you are certainly in the middle of Bamberg life and energy. Lots of students in this city, so has a young vibe - and lots of older visitors:) Excellent refurbished apartment, well equipped and spacious; good bathroom; good bed. Bedroom windows need blinds or darker curtains.

    It was loud outside, but the host left earplugs. So, location was excellent, but then there is noise if you leave the windows open. Can't always have everything.

    We missed a sitting area. There as only a small kitchen table to sit at. No direct parking. Therefore one has to look for a parking garage.

    Central Location. Very clean. Dishwasher. A well equipped kitchen and the Wifi was ok. Great bathroom. To unload luggage next to the house is easy.

    Having never been to Bamburg, getting to the location and parking initially confused me. This is not the owners fault! Also - I was a bit uncertain as to how I was to leave the apartment in terms of bedding and towels - a bit more clarity there would have helped.

    Plenty of space. Central location. Beautifully and simply appointed with plenty of kitchenware for a longer visit. Very comfortable beds. Wish we had stayed longer!

    It is a very, very, VERY basic apartment not designed for family or group travel.

    The flats are aesthetically pretty, but they are not at all warm and cozy in the least. It is a very, very basic apartment in a beautifully refurbished half-timber house, with extremely minimal furnishings. The refurbished house makes it special. Not the apartments. Not the owners. If you love architecture, it may be a great place to stay for a night. If you are celebrating with friends and/or family, there are better options. A few details: The pillows are terrible. Every person in our group woke up with neck and back pain from the pillows. I was shocked to arrive at a place of this caliber and have to make my own bed. This is what I expect from a youth hostel---not a holiday flat of this cost. In the second unit we rented, there was a living room with a small sofa, along with 3 bar stools facing a wall-mounted mini "table." For an apartment accommodating four to six people, there was nowhere to sit and eat a meal. Also, one of the bedroom doors is half-glass without any type of curtain. Those who stay in that bedroom have zero privacy. And the people from the other bedroom must walk by the exposed bedroom door simply to get to the bathroom. The owner addressed me as HERR in every single piece of communication, although I wrote FRAU on every correspondence. When we arrived, there was a yellow sticky note on the door---once again---HERR William. I guess women are not allowed to travel. ??? I wrote to ask if there would be any holiday decorations since we were visiting for Christmas. When I was told no, I asked if we could pay a little extra for this service, since we would arrive very late on the 23rd. We were told that we would have to do all of this ourselves. There seems to be no opportunity for additional support or extra service.

    The property was very clean and the host responded quickly to all inquiries. The location is within walking distance to the city, but I can not recommend staying here in the summer when the windows would be open. It is a very busy street corner and it was loud even with the windows closed.

    Probably due to the characteristics of the building, soundproofing is practically nonexistent. The beer festival right in front felt like it’s taking place in our room. A dining table would have been useful to allow five people to sit for breakfast.

    Exceptional heritage building in the middle of the historic centre with spatious apartment including a sauna and retaining the old architectural elements.
