JUFA Hotel Kronach - Festung Rosenberg

View from hotel was stunning, very clean and comfy rooms. Breakfast was delicious and had lot of options

Unique medieval castle. Quiet and peaceful. Staffs are excellent. Breakfast and dinner are abundant and delicious.

You have to walk from the gate of castle to the hotel reception and could be troublesome if you carry a big luggage.

Cool location, play areas for kids, breakfast, friendly and helpful staff

A modern hotel located in the Fortress of Rosenberg. A neat, cosy room with perfectly clean bathroom and a toilet. A very friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast. A parking place on the site.

Everything was fine

Location, cleanliness, breakfast

Parking is a bit far away from the entrance

The room was nice but a little on the small side. The food in the restaurant was good and so was breakfast. There were enough people that could speak English to help us out. Nice lighting in the room so you can actually read.

The castle tour was only in German. They did give you a sheet in English, but very minimal disruption.It is a 300-meter walk from the parking lot to the hotel over sand and cobblestone but found out later they offer a shuttle.

The location and views from the hotel are superb.The breakfast supplied was adequate although the food was far from hot, warm at most.Good restaurant at the same location not part of the hotel.

There is a VERY steep climb from the car park to the hotel which should be highlighted in the brochure and is certainly more than the 350 metres it claims to be. I was with a colleague who struggled to get up it. My wife would certainly not be able to undertake such a climb and she is able bodied.We arrived at the hotel at around 19:15hrs and when checking in I asked about food. I was told that it was too late for food and there was only the buffet available. Shortly after I looked at the buffet and although there was only salmon or chicken there was ample food still available but I was told we could not have this as the buffet closed at 20:00hrs . I found this strange as it must have meant that the food was going to waste.

The location of the hotel is just perfect.The room was clean, bright and in real good condition

Nice room, great breakfast, great location near to station and kaiserstrasse where most restaurants are. Near old city and shopping as well.

Neighborhood.

Clean and modern throughout the inside of the facility. Once you step outside, You will enjoy one of the largest, best preserved fortresses in Bavaria. Great stuff and a good breakfast.

We enjoyed everything, even though Walking up the cobblestone from the parking lot was also a part of a unique experience of stay inside of the fortress. Don't come here with the rolling suitcase. Travel light, cobblestone and uphill are waiting for you!

Exciting experience sleeping in a fortress. Staff was very friendly and accommodating. Room was clean, big and comfortable (although I wish they would have been better matched to their surroundings and NOT as modern as they are). Missed opportunity in my humble opinion. No AC in the rooms but it's bearable in this kind of building. Breakfast was very good, bread from local bakery, etc. The guided tour was great (although only in German). Tour tickets also enable you to visit the museum in the fortress with some amazing artwork and sculptures.

Confusing with signage at arrival first. Unloading/loading of luggage is not being handled (yet?). A caddy driver needs to be hired or at least you should be allowed to drive up with your car to unload. This place is aimed at families and international travelers, so I was surprised to see this not being serviced. Very steep long walk over cobblestones and gravel path. If you have rolling suitcases, it's not very pleasant. Tour tickets should be available for purchase at hotel reception (and not just at entrance of the fortress.) I also didn't care for those lumpy pillows.

Location, atmosphere, parking, good breakfast

Me and my son made a tour around Fränkische Alp to look at castles and other historical landmarks. We also stayed in some of the castles. We are more into castles of a more "medieval" character, but even though this castle is more of a 17th century fort it still gave us plenty of cool atmosphere. However, this account for the exterior. The interior, especially the rooms, are completely modern. But as the room was very nice and clean it did not bother us. The castle is well situated near the historical old town with several various restaurants serving also more 'modern' food (We ate at a Greek). The staff was helpful, the room clean, and the breakfast was good. If you are interested in castles we suggest to also take a trip to the castle Veste Coburg further to the West. It has an amazing museum of old arms and armoury.

There was a rather long (300m) uphill walk from the parking lot, and it was difficult to pull trolleys over the rough ground (The hotel offers a baggage transfer service if arriving earlier during the day. We arrived too late, at around 7).

Breakfast was excellent, far in excess of expectations. The room was pretty, clean, so spacious and had wonderful views. Very well set out for a family of 4. Good hot water in the shower, and a fantastic playground that the kids (10 and 12) loved.

The luggage transfer service was unavailable to us on the day we arrived, and staff didn't know if it would be available on the day we were leaving. Luggage must be pulled through tunnels, over gravel, up cobblestone roads, and finally up a steep, skinny timber staircase. There was a lift to the bedroom floor. Also, no food or snacks was available for purchase in the hotel for children.

Good variety breakfast, excellent view, free parking, comfortable bed, friendly staff

everything was amazing

Atmosphere of the Festung and room design were unique. Restaurant in front of the hotel was great too.

We've arrived with rain and walking to the hotel with luggage was a bit unlikely.

Fantastic location and great staff. Good breakfast.

Parking information and the long way to get to the hotel. However it's still a minor issue and a beautiful place.

Great room in castle incl great breakfast.

We where in west wing. Unfortunately there was a wedding across from us..loud music till after 12 pm and noice till 4 in the morning!

Fantastic family room with a great rest area for kids above the bathroom which they accessed via a ladder.

location, climate, views, service :) - it was an amazing night spent in a real medieval castle

only one small point - no air conditioning in the room (I traveled on a very hot day in the summer, despite the castle's unusually thick walls, it was too hot inside)
