    eerie decor
    prison atmosphere
    limited privacy

    Staying in an authentic prison cell was a unique experience, with our elegant room featuring impressive attention to detail. The breakfast offered a variety of options, including smoked salmon and fresh fruit, and was served at a long communal table. While the prison atmosphere was captivating, the cell's decor might feel too eerie for some. Overall, this place is great for those seeking an unconventional stay.

    Charming hotel with a unique prison theme, but the shower setup could be more accessible for families. Rental bikes add great convenience for exploring Amberg.

    a unique experience in history

    Staying at Knast-Hotel Fronfeste was a delightful surprise. The hotel effortlessly blended a unique prison theme with elegance. The communal breakfast was entertaining, complete with a crime game to play while enjoying delicious options like smoked salmon and fresh fruit.

    Though the atmosphere was captivating, the initital eerie feeling might not suit everyone. Additionally, the Wi-Fi connection could use some improvement for better browsing during the stay.

    Spent one night in a unique hotel that used to be a prison. The room's decor had such cool details! Breakfast was delicious, and the cute vibe made it even better. Just wish the Wi-Fi was a bit stronger. Definitely coming back next time in Amberg!

    bike hire
    kid-friendly shower

    We stayed with our kids and dogs and loved the family room. Exploring the nearby bier garten was a treat, and the breakfast included great options like smoked salmon. The hotel also has bike hire for family fun!

    In my wife’s opinion, the shower setup could be more kid-friendly.

    My stay at Knast-Hotel Fronfeste was delightful! The unique experience of sleeping in a transformed prison cell was both intriguing and comfortable. The staff were exceptional, assisting us with recommendations while maintaining the charming prison theme. Breakfast was a wonderful spread, served at a communal table with a fun crime game on the placemats.

    Wi-Fi could use improvement.

    The location is close to the old town with a beautiful garden area. Friendly staff provided helpful tours and breakfast had multiple delicious options. Housekeeping was attentive during our stay.

    good breakfast

    Ideal choice for a day tour in Amberg with fantastic value for money. Our bicycles were secured in an old cell! Try the breakfast—it's not only good but fun to play the crime game while eating.

    cozy suite
    unique charm
    elegant decor
    small space
    lack of extra amenities

    The suite was super cozy and had a unique charm going for it! I loved the tasteful prison theme—definitely not too cheesy. It felt elegant while still keeping that cool historical vibe. The attention to detail in the decor was impressive. Just a little on the small side for a suite, but it added to the cozy feel. Plus, the staff was really nice and helpful, which made my stay even better.
