"Have stayed multiple times. Can't beat the location to the Festspielhaus, and downtown is a short walk. Small, but good staff and clean. Stays open late so can socialize with other attendees after performances. And AC that works. Right near transportation."

Limehome Bayreuth Spitalgasse

8/10 Good
"It's a lovely clean and bright studio in the heart of Bayreuth, a 15 minute walk from the train station and less than a minute from the colourful and lively Maximilianstraße. If you're prepared to self-cater (and the local supermarkets are excellent), then it's a bargain. What stops it from my giving 5 stars? Not much. The apartment can get very hot, although a fan is provided. A separate receptacle for recycling would be welcome, as would a dustpan and brush for daily cleaning and instructions for how to use the hob cooker. Hghly recommended."
