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.

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.

Fantastic setting, great hotel, not too busy, lovely small play area indoors and outdoors. Very friendly staff. Only small criticism is that the hotel didn’t do food on a Wednesday which was only an issue because we arrived late after a long journey with young kids but there are plenty of restaurants a short stroll away.

An excellent blend of ancient and modern, this hotel is in a stunning and well maintained fortress. Not for the feint hearted it sits atop a steep hill and even moving around the building involves expending energy! However, it’s well worth the moderate effort as the modern facilities are pristine, staff friendly and helpful and the breakfast excellent. For something a little different I would highly recommend a visit!

Super hotel on a perfect place. The rooms are great, nice beds and fast internet. Also this hotel is for families a perfect place to stay You have to go to the restaurant named Bastion for diner. Take the schnitzel with preiselberen

Hotel is very special because it is in the Festung. So the surroundings are quite imposing. The fortress is still in good shape. Because of the site it is not adviced for people with impaired mobility ( cobble stones, steep climbs). Breakfast is good, although a little busy. There is always more. Staff is adequate and friendly. The rooms are clean and lightly decorated. They are not very big and have no outdoor area.
