Opera enthusiasts for the Wagner Festival in August are well catered for at this hotel. It provides transport to and from the Festival Theatre, provides food before the opera (breakfast morphs into brunch) and has helpful staff. Rooms a bit impersoanl but everything clean. Well located on the edge of town. A good choice

The Arvena is a solid hotel that has all of the amenities one needs for a comfortable stay. The pricing is on the high end, especially the internet, very expensive. The hotel can be full with conventions which can cause some issues finding parking and getting around. The breakfast is good and standard. The bar and restaurant have a great... More

I was visting a supplier who booked me this hotel for 1 night, and was pleasantly surprised as my twin was a good size, including a free bottle of water plus a pack of haribos on the pillow! It had a duvet which was excellent and good shower after I worked out you get water to come out of the... More

This was our third trip to Bayreuth for the Festspiele. First time at the Arvena Kongress - which has been recommended by friends. We were especially glad this time because the Arvena is the only hotel in Bayreuth with air conditioning and it was very hot and very humid for the entire week. The Room was adequate size and well...

We stayed at the hotel for about a week for the Bayreuth R. Wagner Festival. The room are clean and practical, however not very large unless you take a Junior Suite. We enjoyed in particular the excellent breakfast (perhaps only for the Festival period??? t.b.checked) which lasted from early in the moring until 13:30 and amounted practically to half-board. At...

This is a very nice hotel. We called on short notice for reservations, and were helped immediately. Hotel is a 10 minute walk through the river park to central Bayreuth. Staff provided information on what to visit and recommended great places to eat in Bayreuth. Hotel caters to business traveler and groups, but this does not detract from a family... More

During the five weeks of the Festival, Bayreuth hotels conspire to increase their accommodation rates by 100% -150%. While this is understandable, such blatant anti-competitive profiteering would be illegal in the UK (and possibly the US). So did we feel ripped off? Not at all. The Arvena Kongress goes out of its way to give Wagnerites a warm welcome and... More

The bad news first: the Arvena bedrooms are designed for men, by men. That's tough if you're a woman, especially when you're staying a whole week for the Wagner Festival. Imagine a bedroom with not a single drawer. There's nowhere to put your lingerie - despite there being plenty of space for a chest of drawers. You have to keep... More

As other reviewers have said, the Arvena Kongress may be a bit lacking in quaintness and Gemütlichkeit, but it fully understands its guests during Festspiele; we are in Bayreuth because of Wagner -anything else is unimportant. For example: - A free shuttle bus to the Grüner Hügel, starting two hours before the performance, and shuttling eight people at a time,... More
