Jufa Hotel Kronach – Festung Rosenberg

It’s definitely a great hotel in an awesome location: It’s situated right in the old castle which shows very much in the architecture and design of the hallways and rooms. Everything is very clean and cozy; bathrooms are on the smaller side, but big enough. If you’re keen on staying at a castle - That’s the place to stay. Especially so as it’s surrounded by greenery, safe, and quite quiet at night unless there’s a wedding or other occasion in the surrounding buildings. Oh, breakfast was great, too, a long list of breakfast products that IMHO leave nothing to be desired, and the staff is very nice. Just one CAVEAT: Whilst the hotel website has a plan showing where you can park (some ten disabled parking spaces) and stating that the hotel is accessible, it does not state (yet) that once the hotel closes its doors at 10pm, you can still get into the hotel by means of your transponder key, but you won’t be able to access the elevator to get up to the floor where your room is. That means if you’re wheelchair-bound, you’re out of luck unless you want to/can be in your room by shortly before 10pm. They do offer a free shuttle to help you with your luggage three times a day, though.

Staying at the fortress was magical! It was a totally unique experience. Check-in information was inconsistent and confusing.

Great Value and Service as always!

We celebrated our Golden Wedding anniversary weekend with our children and grandchildren in the "atmospheric" Festung Rosenberg, with beautiful views over Kronach and had a wonderful, memorable time thanks to the very helpful and friendly staff. Have to especially mention Frau Herzog and Herr Thompson here who went out of their way to make our stay so enjoyable, despite their shortage of staff generally. The buffet food was delicious and plentiful and we were even able to order a special cake for the occasion. The children's tour of the castle was very interesting, and to be recommended. Very good value for money. The grandsons (aged 7 to 11) loved their bunk beds and bed "up in the roof", the play area inside (perhaps renew and add a few more toys e.g. Lego) and equipment outside - in the castle's former moat I believe. They are "into" castles and knights at the moment - so all very appropriate. An outdoor seating area "under cover" would have been welcome during the warm but showery weather. All in all an unforgetable and very happy family hotel location.

Stay in a castle. Why not

Very nice place, the city is very historic and the hotel inside the Castle makes your stay a great moment. The room was good however smelled a little.
