Our room was a little small. Looking into other rooms they were all different. Some were larger, some smaller, all unique. Great breakfast! Short walk to Amberg!

Great and unique hotel with a prison theme. Centrally located in Amberg, with a short walk to “everything”. Very friendly and helpful staff. Will definitely stay here again.

Above & Beyond
When I learned my flight was delayed, I called to let the hotel know I'd be late. I was told it would be no problem and that I should call when I arrived. After multiple flight issues, I didn't arrive at the hotel until almost 2 A.M., but was welcomed with a smile and made to feel like a valued customer. I learned the building where the hotel is had previously been a jail and even stayed in the former clinic. The breakfast the next morning was excellent, but the reason I'll return the next time I'm in the area is because of the customer service focus. I'd highly recommend Hotel Fronfeste!

Not your typical hotel—loved it
The fact that the hotel used to be a prison makes it an interesting (I prefer not to use the word “fun”) place to stay. You can stay in a former cell or one of the larger rooms (such as the former doctor’s room) if traveling with another person. The staff was friendly, the rooms were clean (we stayed there twice in two different rooms), and a nice breakfast buffet is available that is just the right size.

Hotel with Character
Amazing hotel! 5/5, would stay again! Matter of fact, was my second time staying at this hotel! This hotel is Amberg’s old jail/prison. That being said, naturally, it has all been remodeled and renovated. Beautifully may I add. The character of the hotel and rooms is lovely. From reception, to the room/bathroom, to the buffet breakfast, and checking out/departure, 5/5! Bonus, they do have English speaking employees and a parking garage (only cost us €3.50 for 12 hrs) a short walk away.

Das Hotel war einmal ein Gefängnis. Das Thema ist äußerst originell und detailgetreu umgesetzt. Macht richtig Spaß immer wieder neue Kleinigkeiten zu entdecken. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, das Frühstück läßt keine Wünsche offen. Die Lage in dieser bezaubernden Stadt ist optimal. Wir waren rundum begeistert und kommen mit Sicherheit wieder.

Wir waren für zwei Nächte „eingebuchtet“ und es hat alles gestimmt. Unsere Zelle war klein, aber fein. Das Personal war super nett und kompetent. Am Frühstücksbuffet blieben keine Wünsche offen, es wurde auch alles immer wieder aufgefüllt. Wir kommen auf jeden Fall wieder.

Übernachten im Gefängnis ist wirklich mal was Neues. Und dies wird hier zelebriert. Bitte die lokalen Schilder beachten oder die Uniform der Hotelangestellten. Ausstattung ist simpel und es gibt wirklich "Wasser und Brot" in der Zelle.

Gerne wieder
Ein ganz anderes Hotel! Die Zimmer sind alle im 'Zellen'-Look in einem alten Gefängnis eingerichtet (allerdings mit erweitertem Comfort), und auch das Personal ist in Uniform (aber auch hier vermutlich freundlicher als in einer echten Anstalt). Von der lage her praktischm, die Innenstadt nur wenige Schritte entfernt und das große Parkhaus mit humanen Abend/Nacht-Tarifen direkt hinter dem Haus. Frühstück war für den Preis korrekt aber nicht vergleichbar mit dem was manche andere/größere Hotels aufbauen.

Fronfeste ist ein ehemaliges Gefängnis. Das Hotel ist grundsätzlich originell. Kann man mal erlebt haben.
