Pet-Friendly Hotels in Bamberg (2026)
7 family-friendly hotels with pet friendly in Bamberg . Handpicked for families who want the best.
Bamberg is a compact city to explore with a dog: the UNESCO-listed Old Town spreads along the River Regnitz, and the riverside paths and the Hain park to the south are within walking distance. The seven hotels on this page are listed as pet-friendly, from the Welcome Hotel Residenzschloss Bamberg, the most reviewed, to Hotel Andres on a quiet side street near the main station. Their descriptions rarely give pet terms, so I focus on what the listings do confirm: the location for walks, parking, a playground or terrace, breakfast, and how far the Old Town is on foot.
Bamberg is a small Franconian city built across the River Regnitz, with a UNESCO-listed Old Town of bridges, half-timbered houses and the cathedral hill. It is easy to cover on foot, with riverside paths and the Hain park close to the centre, and its beer gardens and smoked Rauchbier give it a relaxed, local character.

🐕Why Bamberg is Great for Hotels with Pet Friendly
With a dog, the hotel's position matters more than its amenities in Bamberg. The Old Town is walkable but busy around the Old Town Hall on its bridge, so a base near the river paths or green space makes morning and evening walks easy, and the rest of the day can be done on foot.
Welcome Kongress Hotel Bamberg is the hotel on the water: it overlooks the River Regnitz, near the concert hall and the old quarter, and has a rustic tavern with a beer garden, a playground and a spa area with sauna and steam room for an extra charge. From there, the riverside paths lead toward Little Venice, the row of former fishermen's houses, which gives a dog a flat walk before breakfast. Welcome Hotel Residenzschloss Bamberg, the most reviewed hotel here with more than 3,000 reviews and rated 8.4, adds spa and wellness facilities, bike rental and a café with a terrace for a slower afternoon.
Das Bergschlösschen is the one hotel whose own description states it is pet-friendly. Rated 8.6, it has panoramic views over Bamberg that include the Kaiserdom, the cathedral on its hill, and breakfast is served in a café with a view. A playground and family rooms are listed among its features, which helps when you travel with both a dog and children. Its position above the city makes it a calmer base than the Old Town hotels in the evening, while the cathedral square and the Old Town below remain reachable on foot for a day of sightseeing with the dog on a lead.
Two hotels sit close to the main station, which helps if you arrive by train with a dog. Hotel Andres is on a quiet side street, a two-minute walk from Bamberg's main station, with a hearty breakfast buffet and on-site parking for an extra fee. Hotel National, family-run and rated 7.6, has rooms and apartments with daily breakfast buffets, five minutes on foot from the station and the city centre. B&B Hotel Bamberg is farther out, an 18-minute walk from the station, with family rooms, a lift and bicycle parking. From this side of town, the UNESCO-listed Old Town is a walk across the Regnitz channels.
ibis Styles Bamberg, rated 8.5 from more than 3,000 reviews, is 200 metres from the pedestrian area, with individually adjustable air conditioning, a gym, a 24-hour reception and continental or buffet breakfast; its listing also mentions family suites and a game room. It is the most central choice for short walks between sights. For every hotel here, the listings give no pet fee, weight limit or room restriction, so I would confirm the conditions for your dog before booking, and plan the long walks in the Hain, the riverside park south of the centre, rather than in the busy lanes around the Old Town Hall at midday.
Parent's take
With a dog and children, I would book Das Bergschlösschen: it is the one hotel here whose own description says it is pet-friendly, it lists a playground and family rooms, and its panoramic views over Bamberg take in the Kaiserdom. If you would rather be by the water, I would choose Welcome Kongress Hotel Bamberg, which overlooks the River Regnitz.

💡Tips for Choosing a Hotel with Pet Friendly in Bamberg

- 2For a quiet evening, Das Bergschlösschen, above the city with views of the Kaiserdom, is calmer than the Old Town hotels.
- 3Travelling by train? Hotel Andres is a two-minute walk from Bamberg's main station, and Hotel National about five minutes.
- 4Arriving by car, note that Hotel Andres has on-site parking for an extra fee; ask the other hotels about parking when you book.

- 6The lanes around the Old Town Hall and Little Venice fill up at midday, so walk there early or in the evening with a dog.
