Hotel Alt-Ringlein in Bamberg

Rustic, wonderful and very tasty

5 stars as always. I couldn't rate the room because I was only there to eat.

We wanted to have a beer with 7 people and were directed to the sidewalk. The boss's statement that we are a restaurant and not a tavern was unfortunately not the fine English way.

Guests in the heart of a beautiful city. The rooms are cozy with a view of the cathedral. Nice staff in the restaurant, quick service and super delicious food!

Cute hotel in a central location, unfortunately a bit outdated. A very good breakfast and nice staff. A very young and super nice, open-minded team welcomed us in the restaurant. The food was very good, as you would imagine in Franconia. Thank you very much for that and kind regards from Leipzig. Would love to come back here.

Since we visited both the hotel and the restaurant, I will break down the review. 1. Hotel: Location: right in the old town; It can certainly get louder in the summer, only audible sporadically here, but I think you have to weigh up whether it's a central location and a little louder or rather outside with a longer journey into the city. Rooms clean, but a bit worn out. However, I think you always have to differentiate between price/performance, since when you're in a city you're usually only in the room to sleep, compared to a big vacation! And the price was really good! Breakfast buffet also very well stocked; A small negative point was the somewhat fresh room temperature in the breakfast room on both days 2. Restaurant: We had reserved in advance and were surprised by the very extensive terms and conditions; On site it became clear that, understandably, due to the many exaggerated and excessive bachelor parties, this was the consequence of what all old town restaurants now do! Therefore, as a “normal” restaurant guest, don’t be put off by this, or just ask ;-) The quality and quantity of the food was very good! The prices for food and drinks are also considered cheaper for guests who come from outside Franconia. Here in the south of Bavaria you can actually find... There is no longer a good restaurant that keeps most of its dishes under 20 euros! The waitresses were also present and very nice. We felt completely comfortable and can only recommend it.

War heute Mittag im Lokal um etwas zu essen und dann für eine größere Gruppe zu reservieren. Was ich aber nicht gemacht habe. Das Schäufele wurde mir nach kaum 5 Minuten serviert. Der Gabeleinstich hat mich schon nichts gutes ahnen lassen. Es war halb durchgetrocknet von zu langer Zeit im Ofen oder dort wieder aufgewärmt. Und es war total versalzen. Der Wirsing war in Ordnung und nicht überwürzt, so dass man beides zusammen essen konnte. Für mich ein absolutes no Go und auf keinen Fall eine Wiederholung wert.

Fuck!!! A deposit stamp is required, which is fine, but it also has to be issued. But they wanted to keep the glasses, just not pay out the deposit!!

A historic hotel restaurant with a nice ambience, including a beer garden. The menu includes the usual selected Franconian delicacies. Particularly noteworthy is the offer on the menu to share Schäufele and knuckles for two people and to offer an additional plate with the side dishes of dumpling and sauerkraut.

Very friendly service and very good food. Reservation is an advantage or you can rely on your luck.

We only ate here, not stayed overnight. The beer garden is beautiful, central and cozy. We wanted to have a drink first and then look at the menu in peace, but pressure was immediately put on us to say that if we didn't order food, we had to leave. Somehow understandable when there's a lot going on, but not REALLY likeable... There are certainly a lot of meals going out, so it's not surprising that not everything is home-made. I've certainly eaten rösti much better in Franconia. In return I got quite a lot of smoked salmon! Savoy cabbage side dish instead of sauerkraut? Very pleasing!! But dear people in the kitchen, what have you done to the beautiful savoy cabbage..... 😱 Everything here is more focused on mass tourism.

Here we were served very friendly and quickly. The food was very tasty 😋 and we would like to visit the restaurant more often.

A really great service team on site! Restaurant and hotel that do a mega job. To top it all off, I left my wallet behind because of all the good food and relaxation ☺️ no problem, it was sent forward with all the contents. Thank you 🙏 P.S. I think it's great that there are no beer brothers, bowling teams of all kinds and guests who don't consume. Hardly anyone in the catering industry survives on air and love and no one talks about how often the service staff are treated.

Unfortunately you couldn't eat a meal inside because it smelled VERY strongly of chlorine or some other chemical (10/12/24, about 6:30 p.m.). Many people who came in immediately left the restaurant; those who had already sat and eaten had to endure it. We also left after staying for a short time without ordering. Making mistakes with chemicals on a Saturday evening is simply the last resort and takes away a lot of confidence in the rest of the overall offering. I hope something changes.

Friendly service. Very good food. Gladly again.

We went here to eat, unfortunately I can't recommend it. The food was only lukewarm, the taste wasn't that good either and very small portions for a big price

House located directly in the old town, below the cathedral. Nice and clean rooms. The staff are competent, friendly and try very hard to fulfill all of the guest's wishes.

We had lunch with our 2 kids and were served very friendly. There was a children's card to color in. Food good and a bit expensive. With sauerbraten there could be one more dumpling on the plate.

Landed here looking for a location and found a place. The food was delicious and the service was friendly.

Very good food.. and very nice service.. gladly again

Very nice, cozy restaurant. The food and service is highly recommended.

Great food, friendly service and very good beer selection

Ate at the restaurant, it had really good service with nice waiters and attentive help, but the food was okay. French fries weren’t very good but the currywurst was tasty. Overpriced, but it had a good ambiance.

Lovely service, super delicious food! We'd love to come back :-)

Delicious Franconian food, very friendly service

Great food and very nice service. Would I recommend the restaurant to friends? Immediately!!!

great food selection courteous and attentive service

Food was good, but the waiter was very unfriendly... a colleague was in the toilet while the billing was being done.... we wanted to pay for him but he said "no problem, we'll do it right away" then at 7.30 p.m. you have to do it Clear the table. About an hour later the waiter called us and gave us 5 minutes to pay the rest otherwise he would call the police. Honestly only speaking people can be helped. Never again with this staff!!

Shitty service, super unfriendly

Average restaurant, about 3.5* Meat well done, but the rest tastes instant. Service a bit off. When you order lunch: a main course and a soup, you expect the soup to come first and then the main course. Here, on the other hand, it was the main course first and then the soup, it wasn't even good, so it didn't detract from anything. We ate ok, but I probably wouldn't go a second time.

Unfortunately I can't give a reasonable assessment here because the waiter refused to allow us to sit down. Although he did this in a very friendly and polite manner, he had to refer to his boss's instructions. The reason for the rejection was our 4 "Beer Brothers" T-shirts, something like that wouldn't be welcome... Then we'll just spend our money somewhere else

Very good food, friendly service and the beer is very tasty.

Super nice service, delicious beer and the sauerbraten is a dream.

Absolutely pointless regulations with buying beer from the bar and then drinking it in the restaurant! Standing next to the beer garden is allowed, but not 1 meter away on the bench.

The food is very tasty, the staff is very friendly and nice and dogs are allowed in too.

Great restaurant in town. Great meat dishes and interesting beers. I would definitely eat here again.

Very nice staff, great location, delicious food...what more do you need!

This time no Schäuferle but just a U tasted, delicious

We had lunch in the garden at lunchtime and absolutely loved it. In addition to the very tasty food, there is also very good wine spritzer and a smoky dark drink.

Good for drinking. Food is very expensive but tastes good

Very good food and exceptionally friendly service, we were here for the second time now, but we will definitely come here again.

We were “just” eating. Totally friendly service and good hearty food, I didn't like the Mahr-Pils beer but they can't help it. Extremely delicious food and good friendly service

Everything is very nice here, always one. Worth visiting

We ate here in the beer garden. Fast, friendly service every time, even for repeat orders. The food was great. Once the hearty Franconian Schäufela and the vegetarian baked potato with avocado cream and salad. A real recommendation!

Wedding party of 20 people and 1-2 people didn't want to eat. For this reason, all wedding guests were sent away. The restaurant could still have made good sales. But apparently that's not necessary. We ended up staying at “Scheiners”. We were warmly welcomed and looked after there.

A large group of people and one doesn't want to eat? The Alt-Ringlein probably can't use that, so we were sent away. Too bad.

1 in 20 people were asked to leave because that person didn't want to eat. The 19 other people all ordered something and brought in several hundred euros in sales. Mind you, we were sent away at 2:30 (!). So there can be no talk of lunch. Greetings to the unfriendly waiter with a beard and pigtails! The store apparently doesn't need it and is just out to attract tourists. As a native of Bamberg, it's more than a shame! P.S. It's better in the shop opposite 😎

Simply impossible! I used to really enjoy coming here but unfortunately not in the future! We were a group of 20 people who wanted to go to the beer garden at 2 p.m. on a Friday afternoon. We then got two tables. Up until here everything was good. Then a really very unfriendly and annoyed person came from the service. After 2 people out of 20 didn't want to eat anything, they just wanted to drink something, we were turned away from the beer garden. The message was that we are there at rush hour and it is not possible for us to take people's seats. When we said that 18 people would eat something, it became even more unpleasant. We were then told that we didn't own the beer garden and that he could decide for himself who he wanted to have in his beer garden and who he didn't. We then left and were happily welcomed at another restaurant! It's really a shame how unkindly we were treated!

The food in the outdoor lighting was very good and plentiful. Highly recommended salad with warm chanterelles. The atmosphere was good, the weather was excellent. All highly recommended.

Top address! We were spontaneously out and about in Bamberg in fantastic weather and stopped in early in the evening. You can always find a place for two people, including here, even though it was very well attended (outside). Our service was really very friendly and on the ball. The location in the middle of the old town is unbeatable, you sit comfortably, have hearty Franconian cuisine to choose from and of course the beers are first class anyway. Our schnitzels were extremely breaded, tender and the fries were perfect. With a drink under €20 per person - where else can you get that in a location like this today? The portions are of a decent size, so you should be satisfied even if you are hungry. We'd love to come back.

We were a wedding party of 15 people and were turned away because two people didn't want to order food, just drinks. Then we offered to order extra fries, but were sent away anyway. Impossible!

1/20 people didn't want to eat and that's why we were sent away.

Nice hotel with a beer garden in the middle of the old town, rooms and breakfast good. Very nice and friendly staff. Food and drinks are also good, what more could you want.

Nicely centrally located in the old town. We ate in the beer garden. Food very tasty, service very nice. We would love to come back here on our next visit to Bamberg!

Good service and prices. Nice view of the old town.

Just had something to drink. The waitress was so intensely pierced. I didn't feel comfortable there.

Great location, great food, great beer, super friendly staff, cozy beer garden!

Quaint, inviting restaurant in the middle of Bamberg. Service and food A1, great atmosphere outside. Our special requests were happily fulfilled and the price was absolutely reasonable. Not a long wait, the staff is well organized and super friendly. If we are in the area again, we will definitely come back.

The Ringlein restaurant in Bamberg offers a nice atmosphere and friendly service, but unfortunately there was a small downer during our visit. We ordered a Franconian platter for two people and two Viennese-style schnitzels, accompanied by five drinks. In total we paid €96.00 for it, which seems fair in principle. The food was served quickly and hot and the portions were generous. The Franconian platter offered a good selection of regional specialties, and the schnitzels were tender and crispy. Unfortunately, there was clearly too much salt in all the dishes, which spoiled the enjoyment somewhat. As a result, the fine flavors of Franconian cuisine were somewhat lost. Nevertheless, we would like to emphasize that the service was friendly and attentive, and the ambience of the restaurant, in the middle of the historic old town of Bamberg, is very inviting. The evening would have been perfect with a little less salt on the food. We hope that the kitchen team will take this point into account in the future, as we would like to come back and have an overall positive experience.

We were in the beer garden last night. The food was very good - value for money for Bamberg was absolutely fine. Our service was very friendly! A big minus point goes to the other waiter, who behaved in an impossible way towards a family with a wheelchair user. The family also wanted to have dinner here. The problem was that the passage had to remain clear and there wasn't really enough space for the wheelchair. He offered them a table that had to be moved around a bit. The wheelchair user did not go straight to the table. The waiter then got loud (after all, he has 60 other people here and no time for that). Finally he simply left the family and disappeared. Understandably, they then left the beer garden. The fact is that the waiter could have taken 2 minutes as there were enough other staff there and everyone would certainly have understood. Our waitress finally took her time. If I were him, I would be utterly ashamed of this behavior.

Very tasty food! Top prices and great service!

The cook must have had a taste error, either the sauce was too watery or the pepper mill fell into the sauce in other dishes. The young male, hopefully just a temporary worker, was very snippy and cheeky. His appearance didn't fit into the overall picture with colorful hair and fingernails, the ladies saved a lot here.

Great location, good food, super nice staff

There were 6 of us eating on the terrace. Nice ambience. Good food at humane prices. The service was excellent, kept an eye on everything, asked questions often, and was very friendly. One can only congratulate the owners. If we didn't live 240 km away we would come more often. Thank you for the lovely evening

Von hoch bis tief ist alles enthalten, Service ist sehr freundlich, die Küche hat noch deutlich Luft nach oben. Alles in allem einen Besuch wert.

Very, very loud and hot in the room, we could hardly get a glimpse of it. Parking directly at the hotel €19. Location is of course great!

Very good food and centrally located.

News from the Gonso brothers Günter, Gisbert, Gernot and Gregor Hotel Alt-Ringlein has lived up to its name. With a charm of Equipped in 80s style, you can spend 1 night there, then it's good too!!!

Super fast service, good portions and taste. Quaint location

Visit, Wednesday, June 19, 2024 in the afternoon On our tour of Germany, with a stop in Bamberg, we discovered the quaint, Franconian restaurant Alt-Ringlein in the middle of Bamberg's old town. Since we liked the menu and would have had to choose a restaurant for dinner anyway, we chose this. After being greeted by the staff, we were able to choose a free table in the beer garden. An order: > Cola mix 0.5l for €4.30 > Currant spritzer 0.5l for €4.50 > Fanta 0.5l for €4.30 > Beef broth with square liver dumplings for €6.50 (as a starter) - alternatively this is also available as a main course > Franconian sauerbraten with red cabbage and napkin dumpling slices for €18.50 > Bamberg horseradish meat, cooked beef brisket with horseradish sauce and dumpling for €19.20 Wow... wow... wow... I haven't eaten so well in a long time. I would like to highlight the beef broth with the square liver dumplings > I have never seen anything like that in my entire life - very good! The sauerbraten was very tasty and the Bamberg horseradish meat with the horseradish sauce... you can tell where the cooking is still going on. Thank you very much... we were very satisfied and would be happy to recommend your restaurant.

Besuch, Mittwoch, 19. Juni 2024 nachmittags Auf unserer Deutschland-Tour, mit Halt in Bamberg, haben wir das urig, fränkische Restaurant Alt-Ringlein inmitten der Altstadt Bambergs entdeckt. Da uns die Speisekarte gefallen hat und wir sowieso noch ein Restaurant für das Abendessen auswählen hätten müssen, haben wir uns hierfür entschieden. Nach der Begrüßung durch das Personal, konnten wir uns einen freien Tisch im Biergarten auswählen. Bestellung: > Cola-Mix 0,5l für 4,30 € > Johannisbeer-Schorle 0,5l für 4,50 € > Fanta 0,5l für 4,30 € > Rinderbrühe mit eckigen Leberknödeln für 6,50 € (als Vorspeise) - alternativ gibt es dies auch als Hauptgang > Fränkischer Sauerbraten mit Blaukraut und Serviettenknödelscheiben für 18,50 € > Bamberger Krenfleisch, gekochte Rinderbrust mit Meerrettichsoße und Kloß für 19,20€ Wow... wow... wow... schon lange habe ich nicht mehr so gut gegessen. Hervorzuheben, möchte ich die Rinderbrühe mit den eckigen Leberknödeln > so etwas habe ich in meinem ganzen Leben noch nicht gesehen - sehr gut! Der Sauerbraten war sehr lecker und das Bamberger Krenfleisch mit der Meerrettichsoße ... da merkt man wo noch richtig gekocht wird. Vielen Dank... wir waren sehr zufrieden und empfehlen Ihr Restaurant gerne weiter.

Nice place and friendly staff. Everything is quite expensive, but that's normal now. Nothing more for my wallet. The tourists pay for it. But it was tasty!

The food was super tasty and fresh. The ambience was nice and cozy. Fabio from the beer garden was very friendly and accommodating. Had everything under control. I'm in the restaurant business myself and he's a good example of good service. I couldn't take a photo of the food because it was just too delicious. It was gone too quickly. 😋

Top service, food very good, drinks have never been received so quickly after ordering. Great organization.

Highly recommended. Friendly staff and affordable prices.

Ate a mega Schäuferla, friendly staff attentively delivered more drinks. Clear recommendation 👍🏼

A very good restaurant to eat German cuisine. The prices are fair and there is plenty of room inside. The service is fast.

Wir waren gleich zwei Mal hintereinander im Außenbereich. Inmitten der historischen Stadt kann der Gast hier die regionale Speisen genießen. Uns hat die überschaubare Karte gefallen. Die Mitarbeitenden waren sehr aufmerksam, freundlich und der Service schnell. Die Speisen kamen schön angerichtet an den Tisch und haben vorzüglich geschmeckt. Die Preise sind völlig in Ordnung.

Very cozy atmosphere, there was even a paintable menu and pens for children. The staff was extremely friendly and the cuisine, who would have expected anything else, was excellent! Very child-friendly, both in terms of the staff and the rooms! There's even a changing mat in the men's room! Gladly again and thank you very much!

Unfortunately we weren't served... the waiter was extremely unfriendly

My girlfriend is not allowed to carbonate for health reasons. Therefore ordered: a glass of still water. Received: a glass of tap water for 4 euros. 😖

Schade dass man überhaupt einen Stern vergeben muss. Das ist der allerletzte Laden, nur auf Profit aus. Wenn man kann unbedingt meiden

Nice old hotel in the middle of the old town. the location is excellent. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. The room was clean and big enough. We were able to park our bikes in the garage and load them there. Enough sockets. Gladly again.

Good food at normal prices. The schnitzel was very good and the vegetarian cheese spaetzle also met our taste. The waitress had fun at work and was very, very nice.

Food and drinks good. But you'll be kicked out before 8 p.m. if you don't order food because there's such a rush for food (you didn't see it).

Place with good food, very good staff attention

Very nice, quaint restaurant in the old town. What is particularly worth emphasizing is that there is a wide range of outdoor seating available. The high prices are negative.

In the middle of the old town, own garage, nice large room, staff is very friendly, the food is excellent

The food was very tasty! You can quickly eat well here. We are very satisfied! We came especially from Hesse. Lg

Nice restaurant/hotel. Parking spaces are almost impossible to find in the old town. If you are staying in the hotel for a longer period of time, it is advisable to book for a fee, of course. Food was very tasty in the restaurant.

Very nice atmosphere and very nice staff. Delicious light beer on tap and the best cheese spaetzle I've eaten so far! 👌

Very friendly service. The food was very tasty. Nice beer garden in the old town

Best pub in Bamberg, great food, beer always fresh and staff friendly and helpful 🤙

Very nice restaurant, in the middle of the old town, very good service. Eat good

Food was ok, just what you would expect at a tourist hotspot. Service was very friendly and attentive.

Delicious food, super attentive service. Gladly again 👍

Sind Stammgäste freuten uns bisher über fränkisches Essen...leider wurden wir enttäuscht entgegen der beschriebenen Essensausführung in der Karte fehlte was von der angegebenen Menge....als wir reklamierten wurde das ignoriert obwohl ich ein Bild vorweisen konnte von vorhergehenden Besuch wo die Portion korrekt war....sehr bedauerlich....wenn der Preis um 2.- gestiegen ist ok....aber dann noch weniger Essen traurig..aber auf uns als einzelne Kunden kommt es ja nicht an

Very rude service. The tone was not appropriate at all. We ate a Schäuferla for two and were not informed that the overcooked savoy cabbage puree was served in a small bowl for one person and in a larger one for two people. When we asked calmly and politely when paying and wanted to be clarified about it, the service exploded. She insinuated that we didn't want to pay. Everything is on the menu. We should pay now and leave. Impossible !!!

Very nice staff. I wished the food had more spices. But it's a matter of taste.

We stayed in this hotel for a weekend. The camp and breakfast are great! The room is clean, but I found the mattresses to be worn out. Topper and therefore uncomfortable. If you sleep with the window open, you have to expect that it will be louder at night. You can't see anything with the windows closed.
