Eschenbach in der Oberpfalz accommodation from AU$109

new and clean hotel, next to the train startion

I thought it would be like a Hampton Inn but H4 is much better. Very comfortable. A little street noise but with windows closed, absolutely silent. Got great sleep. Underground parking- fee. A little narrow (as everywhere in Germany) but we had no problems with our somewhat large station wagon. Some spaces have mechanical racks to park 2 cars-- operated by the hotel, not customer! Overflow parking 3 minute walk away. Small supermarket across the street. Other shopping and restaurants in walking distance. Safe area. Interesting cemetery across street. The bar is open late--not sure whether they have food. Most people at Wagner Festspiele eat at the opera. Breakfast is extremely good buffet, and convenient-- 07:00 to 11:00. Festspielhaus is 2.4 km (35min by foot) but we signed up for shuttle (free), leaves H4 15:00 arrives 15:10. Returns 20 min post performance. Very convenient. Most hotel guests are German but English is spoken by hotel personnel, who are very friendly and helpful. Ein ausgezeichneter Aufenthalt! Highly recommended if you are in Bayreuth.

Friendly, efficient staff! Near opera house. Clean.
