The Goldener Falke stands on the Hauptstraße at number 204, in the heart of the Old Town, with views to the castle and the Church of the Holy Spirit. It is a hotel and restaurant with 22 rooms and 44 beds, so it feels personal rather than corporate. A buffet breakfast is offered, and the hotel also hosts private celebrations and small business events. The public garage at the Kornmarkt is about two minutes away on foot, and the hotel's position means that the funicular station, the Marktplatz and the Hauptstraße shops are all on your doorstep.
Getting around
You can walk to almost everything, from the Marktplatz and the Church of the Holy Spirit to the Kornmarkt and the lower funicular, the castle path and the Old Bridge. The Hauptstraße is pedestrian, so street noise is low by day, though lively evenings in the Old Town can be heard, and light sleepers should ask for a room at the back. The main station is a tram or bus ride away, and luggage is best handled by taxi if you arrive by train.
The rooms and the restaurant
With only 22 rooms the hotel is small, so book early for Christmas market weekends and summer, and ask about room sizes when booking. The restaurant downstairs adds convenience in the evening. Breakfast is a buffet, and the location near the Kornmarkt means a morning start at the castle is easy. The hotel is a good fit for couples and independent travellers who want to be inside the Old Town.
What to know
Parking is not on site, but the nearby Kornmarkt garage offers a daily rate, so drivers can leave the car and walk. Stairs and older building features are common in the Old Town, so ask about lift access if mobility matters. Prices are mid-range and climb during the Christmas market. If you want pool and spa facilities, a larger hotel suits better, but for atmosphere and location it is hard to beat.
