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!

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.
