I have been having a difficult time finding a reasonably priced place to stay in Bamberg from 23.12.04-27.12.04. Many places are already booked for Christmas. I am looking for a double room under 6o euros if possible. (websites would be appreciated!)
Thanks for any help.

I don't know if you have already checked the Bamberg website, but it gives links to a number of different accommodations:

Can't recommend any myself because I am just researching for our trip in May.

We will be there in February and are hoping to stay at Hotel Brudermuhle... but I believe they are closer to 11E a night.
Have you been able to find any information as to winter hours for most of the main sights? I am having next to no luck!

I'm sorry - that should read "100E" per night

Thanks for the replies!
TexasAggie, I am also having a difficult time finding a lot of info about Bamberg. www.Bamberg.info is the best (and one of the only) websites I have found. The Brudermuhle is supposed to be great, it is just above my budget. Many of the less expensive places I have emailed have either not responded or are already full. I am thinking that my German (or lack of it!) may be part of the problem.

hello carryonbagage,
my favorite bookingmachine for Germany (and some more countries) is hrs.de.
The lowest possible room rate they can offer for your dates is 49 Euro (double room, breakfast 9 extra) for the Ibis hotel (ibishotel.com).
Then it's 60 (incl. breakfast) at Graupner Gaestehaus (hotel-graupner.de), 68 at Altenburgblick (altenburgblick.de), 70 at...

Is there a website for Hotel Brudermuhle? We are also looking for a nice place to stay for Christmas (honeymoon).

www.brudermuehle.de
There's some information in English bur click through the German part as well - more photos etc.

I have stayed at the Ibis and it is pretty basic but it does have its own parking garage.

Anyone familiar with the Brudermuhle recall how long they usually take to reply to a reservation inquiry? I submitted one through their website on Monday, and then sent an email on Wednesday (because I had not heard back) and still nothing.
I'm not in a huge rush, but we do want to stay there Valentine's Day night and I'd hate for them to fill up!

As always, I recommend you stay in a Ferienwohnung (fully equipped flat).

I have found several on the Bamberg city website that sleep up to four people at around 40E a night for the unit (i.e. not pp).

How many of you are travelling together and do you have transport? If so let me know and I will give you some addresses.

We stayed in this very nice Ferienwohnung a while back: Runs about 50 Euros/night:

location is good - walkable into old tonw, not far from train station.

(in German, but w/pictures)

Owner is friendly, helpful, and speaks good English - give him a call.

Thanks to everyone for all of the great info! I now have plenty of websites to keep me busy for the next few days!
