ibis budget Bayreuth 1.5성

Planning to visit the Bayreuth Festival for the first time, I found it slightly tacky to find somewhere nice stay. Most options in Bayreuth seem at the budget end of the scale. This hotel is a good choice. It is very easy to find and there is plenty of parking available. The property is situated between the Festspiel House (which is a short, pretty walk) and the various interesting sites in the centre. The rooms were pristine with good air conditioning. Breakfast was simple but of good quality. The staff are very friendly and professional. It was fun having drinks at the hotels bar after returning from the opera.

If you understand the meaning of “ripoff” then you have the perfect picture of the IBIS style hotel in Bayreuth. For more than 240€ per night we were given rwo rooms (422and 420), rooms overlooking a train junction. The cost is incredibly higher (250 € per night) for no reason than any equivalent hotel The room had NO PHONE, the bathroom had no bidet, no frills whatsoever were available in the bathroom (no shampoo, no shaving foam, no nothing!). The hotel has no private garage so a customer must use a parking place (cost not included in the room cost). The room was very small, with no diary indicating the hotel options. We asked for two second pillows and we got only one. The breakfast was almost ridiculous: not enough tables so we had to use another room far away from the breakfast trays. When we came back in the afternoon we discovered that the room had not been made (excuse: for saving energy…..)! Never in my life I felt so cheated and my suggestion is to avoid at any rate a so unacceptable makeshift hotel. I am a very seasoned traveller and obviously I have experienced very good and less good hotels but never, I repeat never, anything similar happened to me. Shame on the hotel organization and shame on “booking.com” for advertising this horrible place.

300 m from the station in the direction of festival, perfect location. New, clean, great plumbing and rarest of all in this town , really effective air conditioning. I a town with so many mediocre hotels to charge ridiculous amount for the festival this is a complete no brainer.

Pathetic hotel, room is bare and have a feeling of being "cold" and depressing. very basic. not enough lighting either . carpets look worn down, like someone ripped it apart and then forgot to do renovation Can't stay for more than one night. out of all hotels that i stayed in Bayreuth like liebesbier, lohmülle this has been worst one. advise: please make room a bit welcoming and cozy. remove those ugly looking moneky. install some lights. make carpet thicker or a little bit posh, else just get wood floors!

This is obviously a well-run hotel, as you would expect from the Accor Group. The rooms are small but adequate. It is very near the station and only a few minutes walk from the Festspielhaus. It was very hot when we were there and you do get a little noise from the railway and station announcements with the window open. This wasn‘t a problem for us as we live next to a station anyway! As the hotel only serves breakfast, you have to go out for a meal in the evening. We stayed five nights and only discovered some of the places to eat nearby shortly before we left. The nearest are probably the Macdonald‘s by the station and a Greek restaurant in the other direction. I dare say we would have been advised had we asked at the desk. We had none of the oroblems some people seem to have had getting a space in the car park - but you do have to pay extra for it.
