Wurzburg Germany Hotels

My favorite hotels are the Würzburger Hof at Barbarossaplatz, 5 min. from the station, and Hotel Franziskaner at the quiet Franziskanerplatz, approx. 15 min. from the station, both in the historical center.

That's a long-ish stay for Würzburg alone. Are you there 4 nights to do day trips to other places by train? If so, you might want to specify a maximum distance from the station.

Suggest also that you check on Tripadvisor and Booking.com to look at ratings and reviews... LOTS of information there and you can search using your hotel requirements/preferences. Same for the food. It's my impression that Würzburg is less popular for hotel stays among Rick Steves travelers, who are normally on their way to Rothenburg, Munich or Nuremberg - you might not get a lot of feedback on this forum for that reason.

I've stayed at the Barbarossa and the Ibis most recently. Both were OK, not much else to say there...

I stayed at the AC Hotel for a couple nights a few months back. It's a short walk from the Bahnhof, but it's also just one stop up the line by tram. And the tram stops just down on the corner. Easy access to the old part of the city and beyond. Don't miss the statue of luggage outside the Bahnhof; it symbolizes all the deported from WWII. In the inner courtyard of the Juliusspital you'll find some blue sheep, and the wine cellar tour is good if you like white wines.

I like Wurzburg, and I could easily find enough to do for 4 days there. Don't forget to visit the fortress as well as the Residence; take the tour, you'll see stuff most people miss. You can get good photos along the river in the mornings; afternoons can be hazy.

In the evening try Brauerei-Gasthof Alter Kranen. Good food and beer, and a really good view from the terrace.

If you're going for a fest be aware the fest beer prices are crazy expensive.

I enjoyed Wurzburg. Walkable small city, river views, the Residenz, the Fortress. I happened to be there during City Fest in September years ago. In brief, I hope you have a great time there. I spent two nights at Hotel Sankt Josef. I recall it being perfectly fine at the time.

I will be there for 4 days in October. One of them will be a day trip up to Bad Kissingen to take the waters at a therme. Will be watching this post for brewery and restaurant recommendations.

Just got back from Wurzburg. Would happily stay at Wurzburger Hof again & absolutely plan to. People there were lovely, room was spacious and very comfortable and the breakfast was really good! Dinners at Alte Mainmühle (atmosphere, food & service all good) & we split the best Kaiserschmarrn at Backofele. With 4 days I think you'll really be able to take things in at a good, easy pace. Enjoy!
