Hotel Wohnbar in Bamberg

The hotel feels like an art gallery/live-in museum, with unique pieces in the halls and sculptures in the garden that gives ecletic, chic, surreal vibes. Their elevator looks straight out The Jetsons show! When I entered my hotel room, I felt like I just wanted to move in there and live there forever. The design and architecture of the whole place is magnificent. Their staff is very friendly and accommodating. Also, it is very close to restaurants, attractions, and the university. I had such a great experience and I dream to come back to this hotel.

Tucked away behind its eccentric, borderline whimsical decor, this charming hotel surprised us with what turned out to be the most comfortable bed we’ve experienced in the past two weeks on the road. And we don’t say that lightly. Plush, supportive, and inviting, the bed alone is reason enough to make a return visit.

While some reviews were lukewarm on the breakfast experience, we found it to be absolutely lovely. The moment we stepped into the breakfast lounge, we were warmly welcomed by a friendly waitress who thoughtfully walked us through the coffee and hot chocolate machine. She also took our order for a plate of perfectly soft scrambled eggs—fluffy, flavorful, and satisfying. The coffee was strong and well-brewed, and although the breakfast leaned into German-style offerings, the variety was plentiful despite the modest portion sizes.

Cleanliness was the deciding factor when booking, and this hotel delivered in spades. From the crisp linens and fluffy towels to a bathroom that sparkled like it had been scrubbed by Cinderella herself, everything felt impeccably cared for—something we appreciated deeply after a whirlwind of travel.

And then there’s the elevator—affectionately dubbed the “rocket ship” by our kids. Compact but functional, it spared us from hauling luggage (and tired little legs) up to the third floor. A tiny touch that made a big difference.

Of course, no stay is complete without a dash of the unexpected. In this case, a life-size statue of E.T. perched casually on the lanai. Quirky? Definitely. But somehow, it only added to the charm.

In the end, this hotel offered far more than a place to sleep—it delivered comfort, hospitality, and cleanliness with a side of character. And truly, we couldn’t have asked for more.

Nice, clean, spacious room with comfortable beds. The location is a very short walk from the Altstadt.

Exceptional hotel, very quiet even though we were on the Main Street. Lovely friendly staff and room had great facilities. Would certainly recommend. The shower facilities and storage great room size perfect for a couple, TV and coffee facilities available.

This is a B&B hotel. It's the last one left. The room is small but clean. You need to go to the public parking lot to park your car. It's a two-minute walk from the old town. It's very convenient. You need to use a key to open the door. If you come back late at night, you have to open the door yourself.

Very nice, tiny hotel in the city center. Breakfast was excellent. I really liked this hotel and will choose again 👍

Nice accommodation, perfect location, delicious breakfast!

Great location, clean, and organized. A wonderful combination of modern with groovy.

We stayed in the attic room for 3 nights and enjoyed every minute of it. The rooms are decorated in a way that make you feel like home and super cozy. It's special in my opinion that you are looking forward to return to your room and spend time there. I liked the shower gel and soap in the bathroom as well as the very affordable choice of drinks. There is also a coffee machine in the room. The breakfast was reasonably priced as well and had a great variety of choices, many of them homemade. We especially liked that there were also some cooked options like fried veggies besides the classic German breakfast options. All ingredients had a good quality (especially the bread) and you could feel that the hotel did not save on this end. This is great as I often find hotel breakfasts disappointing. The staff is super helpful with everything and all our wishes were made possible. Overall I would highly recommend Wohnbar to everyone when travelling to Bamberg.
