Hotel Schwarzes Kreuz

The hotel is conveniently located in Fuerth, Germany. We arrived by taxi from the train station do I do not know about parking. Check in is automated if you have preregistered. If not preregistered, you will need to go up one floor and someone will help you. Not all of the staff speak English, but we could communicate using Google Translate. The entrance is not well marked but you enter through the restaurant entrance. This hotel is in an older building and there is NO ELEVATOR! Be aware of this if you have mobility issues. There may or may not be someone there to help you with your luggage. The rooms are very clean and the beds are comfortable. Toiletries are available in the bathroom. Typically, there are no bath cloths. There are plenty of eating choices nearby, but the pizza in the hotel is excellent.

Easy to find on Konigstrasse on the edge of the Altstadt & less than 15 minutes’ walk from Furth train station. I arrived at 12:20 & was pleasantly surprised to be told that my room was ready. A very quick & friendly check in & I was soon up the stairs (no lift) to my second-floor room. My room, no.206, was ok size wise for a single room. It was clean & fresh with a carpet floor, single bed, wardrobe, safe, coffee machine, work desk & chair, wall mounted tv, electric fan, luggage rack, mirror, smoke alarm, spare electrical sockets & a minibar (photo attached). The window gave me a great view over the outdoor terrace & meant the room had an abundance of natural light. I had no issues with noise from inside or outside of the hotel. The complimentary Wi-Fi was quick to connect to with no password required, had quick speeds & was consistent. It auto reconnected immediately on returning to the hotel. There was no iron or ironing board in my room & so I requested both during breakfast. When I returned to my room 15 minutes later both had been delivered to the room. My bathroom was small but ok for a solo traveller. It was bright & clean with a tiled floor & walls, window, radiator, hairdryer, 2 spare electrical sockets, large mirror, bottle of liquid soap, shower enclosure, shower head & hose on a riser rail, easy to control shower valve with great water pressure & an abundance of hot water, shower gel in a wall mounted dispenser, one hand towel, one bath towel & one floor towel. Breakfast was served from 07:00 to 10:00. I went down at 09:00 & had no difficulty getting seated. Continental buffet, there was a great selection of excellent fayre with croissants, bread rolls, cheeses, salamis & cold meat slices, smoked salmon, yoghurts, salad, fruit cocktail, cereals, boiled eggs, pates, Nutella, honey, jams, apple & orange juices, multivitamin drink, mineral water, teas & coffees. The hotel has a lovely outdoor terrace where it was easy to relax whilst enjoying a beer or coffee whilst taking in the strong sun beaming down. There is a small lounge in the foyer, next to the reception desk, with a tv & a couple of sofas. I had some time to kill before my train & left my luggage at reception from where it was placed in the complimentary secure left luggage area. I would have no hesitation in recommending this property to anyone visiting Furth for a night or two & plan to return there myself in late 2023.
