;
Wahlenstrasse 1; s €35-125, d €70-135)
Behind a
humble door in the heart of the city lies a world of genuine charm, unexpected extras and
real attention to detail. The striped floors, wrought-iron beds, original sinks and common
rooms with soft cushions and well-read books give the feel of a lovingly attended home.
Another somewhat grander branch of the hotel is located above the Café Orphée.
HOTEL
Hotel Goldenes Kreuz €€
( 558 12;
www.hotel-goldeneskreuz.de
; Haidplatz 7; r €75-125; )
Surely the best
deal in town, the nine fairy-tale rooms each bear the name of a crowned head and are fit
for a kaiser. Huge mirrors, dark antique and Bauhaus furnishings, four-poster beds,
chubby exposed beams and parquet flooring produce a stylishly aristocratic opus in leath-
er, wood, crystal and fabric. Yes, those prices are correct!
HOTEL
Altstadthotel am Pach €€
( 298 610;

; Untere Bachgasse 9; s €98-124, d €118-144;
)
Those who have shaped Regensburg history, from Marcus Aurelius to Emperor Karl
V, are commemorated in the 20 rooms of this sleek hotel. Quarters vary in size in size but
all are warmly furnished with thick carpets, comfy mattresses and a minibar with compli-
mentary beer and water. If you're tall, you might want to avoid the beamed and slanted
rooms in the attic.

; Goliathstrasse 10; s/d from €125/155;
HOTEL
)
Right in the heart of the city centre, the 41 rooms at the Goliath are all differently con-
ceived and pristinely serviced. Some have little extras, such as bathroom-bedroom win-
dows and big baths. Funky, but doesn't go the whole boutique hog and staff are surpris-
ingly old school. Parking costs €12.
