Really good location in the centre of the old town and close to everything worth seeing, and about 15 minute walk from the train station. For being right in the middle of things there was no issue with noise from the street.  Staff were very friendly. The additional cost breakfast had a decent selection. Wifi signal was good. Room was comfortable and clean. Lots of shops and restaurants nearby. I think the price is great value for what you get.

Fantastic location

We stayed here for a couple of days in August. The town was getting geared up for its annual fair which meant that some streets were blocked, but we got through. We could do all of our sightseeing on foot.

The room was nice, comfortable and quiet. The breakfast was verging on the spectacular. The staff were very friendly. There is a pleasant courtyard which is good for smokers.

The only snags were - no lift - and the hotel is physically closed in the afternoon makig it impossible to drop off baggage before check-in

Excellent location, excellent breakfast

We booked a package tour through the Bamberg Tourist Information office and chose this hotel more or less at random. It was a good choice. Somewhat on the cheap side, but if offered everything you need: clean, friendly staff, bountiful breakfast and right in the centre of the old city. We arrived by train and it was just 15 minutes walk to the hotel.
We had a room on the top floor, which was fine for us. But if you don't handle stairs too well, make sure you ask for a room on the bottom floor, since there is no lift. The streets are narrow and full of jovial drinkers till late in the night, so it would disturb some as being a bit on the loud side if you like to sleep with the window open.
We'd certainly stay here again. Bamberg was delightful for a short get-away. Make sure you drink a Rauchbier (smoked beer).

In the middle of a mediaeval gem

Bit of a budget hotel, but goodness me you get a lot for your money!  We arrived very late - emailed from the train to say we were running very late, and they arranged to leave our key in the safe outside the front door. And fair enough it was there.  I was with friends rather than Mrs B, and our room was very clean with three very modern and comfortable beds.  The decor was a bit old and could maybe have done with a bit of a rethink, but that was fine.  In terms of location it was incredible - right in the centre of town.  Of course Bamberg is a party city (in a good way - not like it would be in the UK) so there was street-based conversation and laughing till a late hour outside our window, but a) we had the window open, and b) I could sleep through a jazz drummer setting up.  Downsides?  No safe, no hair-dryer and no air-con, it could do with a lick of paint, but we just slept there so we didn't care.  The staff there were also lovely and fantastic - when trying to print our boarding passes, the help the nice lady at the desk gave us was invaluable.  Also the breakfast looked good and wasn't expensive, but I hit the ground running with a coffee, so didn't sample.  In summary?  Clean, basic, friendly and very central.

In the heart of Bamberg, nice and not expensive

We stayed in Sandstern for three nights in July. The temperature outside was over +30, so aircon would have been nice, but we knew ahead that there was no such luxury offered. We were lucky to get on room NOT facing the street, and therefor we could keep the windows open during the night. This would probably not have been possible in a room facing the street, because there is several bars right next to the hotel and Obere Sandstrasse seems to be quite popular in the evenings.

We also knew ahead - thanks to a reviewer here on TripAdvisor - that we have to carry our bags to our room, since there is no elevator in the hotel.  Luckily our room was on the first floor. :) 

The location is perfect for exploring the old town of Bamberg. The hotel is nice and clean and the staff was very friendly. What we especially liked (due to the heat) was the refrigerator downstairs, where you could get a bottle of cold water or soft drink 24/7. The purchase (2 euros/bottle) was paid by putting money in a mailbox next to the refrigerator. <3

We didn't have breakfast at the hotel. Though it was priced very reasonable we choose to have late breakfasts in a café almost opposite the hotel.

Sandstern is not fancy, it is just an ordinary nice hotel for holidaytravellers who don't want to pay a huge amount of money for a place to sleep. It was perfect for us, and we felt we got good value for the money!

The reception is open ONLY from some morning hour until 12 o'clock noon and then again from 3 pm to 7(?) pm. So if you know that you will arrive or leave at some hour outside the opening hours it's worth while to get in touch with the hotel before your trip.
