Kneitinger Alter Schlachthof — Restaurant in Regensburg

This is a great place if you’re in transit or on a short stay.||Location: The hotel is right next to one of the main streets and thus well-connected to all the highways around the city and still close to the city centre (a 15-20 min walk to the old town).||The house is well-isolated so you won’t have trouble with street noise at night. Parking is also provided for, but the number of spaces is limited. You might have to park in the adjacent street, but it’s not far away.||Rooms: According to the staff, everything was redone one year ago. To me, it looked brand new. Rooms are properly sized for this price level and equipped with a shower.||WiFi works perfectly, TV has plenty of international stations, although most of them are German, naturally.||I was lucky to get a room with a terrace, but there are only a few that have access to it.||Food: This was the biggest surprise for me. I was expecting simple, but good, “Hausmannskost”, but what I found was that they are taking it up a notch.||The menu is pleasantly short (I don’t like menus with a hundred items on them) and full of German classics like Rump steak, Schnitzel Vienna style, duck, pork roast and so on.||I had the duck, which came with a homemade potato dumpling – the Champions League of potato variations – and red cabbage. The cabbage was a little too Christmassy for me, with a lot of cloves and cumin, but the dish was perfectly cooked and well-priced under €20.||You’ll get a fresh pint of local beer with it if you like, which you should, and afterwards, I’d recommend the pear liqueur. Ask, for a “Williams Christ” or just a “Willie”. Yes, that’s what it’s called, get over it.||Breakfast is fine, with different rolls, cheese and meats, fresh juice, yoghurts and cereals, but note the little menu on your table. That’s an egg menu, so you can order everything from sunny side up to scrambled to omelettes, and they will prepare them for you freshly in the kitchen, and at no extra cost.||Amenities: None. This is not a place for a long stay. You want to eat and sleep there, for everything else, leave the building and go to the city.||Regensburg is also a good base for trips to Munich, Nuremberg, or the skiing resorts in the Bavarian and Bohemian woods. Munich would be the furthest place, being about 120 km away. You should travel by car, as Regensburg is well-connected streetwise, but the next large airport is in Munich. There is another one in Nuremberg, but there’s not too much going on.||Staff: Friendly and competent. Not sure about the language skills, but I’m sure they can cope with basic English.||Overall, I...

Situated quite near the town center (approximately 15-20 minutes comfortable walking to the Stone Bridge), this hotel is quite clean and offers all the basic amenities: wifi, TV (although we found it impossible to get the SKY TV channels)... It is clean and quiet. Note that if your room is on the 3rd floor, the elevator only goes up to the second, so if your are unable to lug your cases up a flight of stairs, be sure to ask them to be lower down. One star was knocked off because we had booked a room for four people, but when we got there we were told that we had a three-person room. They only added an extra set of covers, meaning that the kids had to sleep together on a bed that was not quite large enough for them.

The hotel also has a restaurant that seems to be popular with the locals, but we did not try it.

We only stayed a...
