While this hotel can be challenging to find, as mentioned in other reviews, it more than makes up for it once you arrive. We stayed there on our honeymoon and had a lovely room overlooking the dam. The room was tastefully decorated and spotless. The only complaint would be the service at the restaurant as it was inattentive and somewhat snobbish. However, the outstanding food and ambiance made up for it.

First, if you can find this hotel without stopping at least twice to ask for directions, you are a genius. (I am not.) It is worth the effort to find it. The hotel looks old outside, is modern inside & is beautifully situated on its own island. We had a very nice room overlooking the river & the falls. Bamberg is a very cool town & this hotel is well situated to walk through the most interesting areas & to unique restaurants. It is a 20 – 25 minute walk to the train station & not recommended with luggage. The restaurant was pricey but the food was outstanding.
During our visit, we encountered a severe noise problem as a result of some major construction next to the hotel between 8:00am & 5:00pm – even the hotel staff was frustrated with the noise & dust from the construction. The parking in their garage can be challenging unless you really enjoy manoeuvring your car in very tight conditions.
I would recommend the hotel but before staying there again, I would make sure the construction next door has been completed.

When I got to the hotel I couldn't believe the location. My room was in the building above the restaurant in the middle of the river. I looked out my window and felt like I was in a different time period. It was amazing I just couldn't get over the view. I absolutely loved it. I arrived there around ten a.m. and went up to my room. I expected it to be more old fashioned like the photos from the website but it was more modern but that was okay since the view was fantastic. I walked around the town of Bamberg and enjoyed it very much. I had dinner at the restuarant and everything was great. Then the next morning the breakfast they had was amazing so many choices of breads, cold cuts cheeses, teas, and juice. It was outstanding. I loved my stay here and wished I could of been here longer.

The Nepomuk occupies the most idyllic setting in Bamberg, an idyllic town. It is in the middle of the river Regnitz (an old mill) on its own island, a few yards from the two Gasthauses where most guests stay. It's perfectly located for walks around this beautiful small Bavarian town. Beside is a highly recommended brewery, the Klosterbrau, with excellent beer and food ; it's 20 steps staggering back to the guesthouse.
We had a wonderful few days in Bamberg - a place that is entirely civilised, at ease with itself and most friendly. Go for a walk near the Dom in the late evening when there's mist and you'll be in the most beautiful film-set. Have a coffee in the Cafe Bassanese beside the absurdly picturesque Rathaus. In the autumn the colour of the trees and leaves everywhere is just lovely.
