Drahthammer Schlößl

Wir waren bei unserem letzten Besuch im Schlöß'l vor zwei Jahren schon sehr zufrieden, hatten aber bei unserem diesjährigen Kurzbesuch in Amberg den Eindruck, dass seitdem alles noch ein wenig besser geworden ist. Sehr freundlicher und aufmerksamer Service, ausgezeichnetes Essen, das auch den (für Amberger Verhältnisse eher hohen) Preis rechtfertigt, schönes Zimmer mit Terrasse (und schönem Wetter!) und ein bequemes Bett. Rundherum angenehm und empfehlenswert. Wir kommen nächstes Jahr bestimmt wieder!

After traveling nearly 24 hours from California, I arrived at the hotel late at night, in the rain, and in the middle of winter—only to find it completely unstaffed. There was no signage or welcome, just a key retrieved from a drop box tucked in a poorly lit corner by the front door, exposed to the elements. The key itself was unusually heavy and offered no information other than a room number—no instructions, no map, no indication of where to go. I tried multiple doors without success before finally ringing the emergency bell. A man eventually appeared, looking irritated and disheveled, and wordlessly led me to a separate building, where he pointed me down a hallway to my room. Unfortunately, the room I was given looked nothing like the ones shown in the hotel’s promotional materials. While I understand that each room is different, this one lacked even the basics: no window covering, no comfortable bedding, and a general sense of being unfinished or neglected. I had to use a spare blanket to cover the window for privacy and to block car headlights. I had deliberately chosen this hotel over others in town because it appeared to offer a peaceful and comfortable atmosphere—ideal for recovering from long travel—but the experience fell far short of expectations. The next morning, I explained the situation to the front desk. Their response was indifferent, but they eventually agreed to move me to a room that more closely matched what had been advertised. That room was much better, and from that point on, the stay was decent and breakfast was enjoyable. That said, I remain baffled that the first room is even in circulation. It felt like a last-resort option that should only be used in emergencies, if at all. Photos show the room I received, followed by a photo of the bed I was moved to and a photo of their breakfast room.

Beautiful stay Beautiful property! The people working there were excellent and went out of their way to help with everything. My only complaints were that the internet was flaky and the room was very warm.

Very clean, furnishings a bit dated, gorgeously landscaped (eventhough my visit was in winter), however, a Sunday arrival amidst app inconsistencies and communication difficulties created confusion at my expense, despite my efforts to clarify all before arrival.

Sehr gerne wieder Wieder einmal ein wunderschöner Aufenthalt im Hotel. Eine Bewertung für das gute Essen im Restaurant erfolgt gesondert. Ich komme gerne wieder.

Very unique hotel
