The food always comes out so beautifully displayed and tastes delicious. I've uploaded a bunch of pictures of the food. The room is big and spacious. The breakfast buffet is way better than any other hotel I've stayed at in the same price point, and i travel a lot. This is such a wonderful family owned hotel. I definitely will stay here again in the future.

I've stayed at the Hotel am See and it's always a "home away from home." Alex and crew are the…read moremost gracious hosts you will find, and the hotel itself is a perfect balance of old and modern. There are 12-14 English channels on the satellite TV in addition to the 40+/- international ones, the rooms (at least in the first building where I always stay) are well-sized in that you have plenty of space but it's also cozy. The bathrooms are modern and mine only have a shower but that's all I need. As mentioned there is no air conditioning (not uncommon in Europe) but there are ceiling fans that keep the rooms cool enough in all but the hottest of days. The restaurant is excellent and there is a Continental breakfast every morning. Even more importantly, the coffee is smooth and flavorful! It's the perfect way to start your day! About the only tip I can share is that if you are a light sleeper, ask for a room facing the back (forested) part of the hotel. The front side along the B470 that faces lake Kleiner Rußweiher has beautiful views but even with the good soundproofing there will be the occasional loud truck or motorcycle that will go by during the night that may disturb your sound sleep. Otherwise, note that the restaurant is very popular so parking can be an issue during dining hours in the evening. But if you're looking for a great place to stay in the Grafenwöhr area, Hotel am See is highly recommended! If you are looking for an adventure, the tower atop the large hill to the south is called Kleiner Kulm and can be reached in about a 15 minute drive. It's a great hike with a wonderful view atop the 85ft tower. There is also a wonderful walled monastery called the Kloster Speinshart along the way, definitely worth a stop! Also, hikes around Kleiner Rußweiher or up the hill from the am See provide wonderful sights! Even the short hike into Escenbach, the village in which the hotel resides, provides a lot to see.

We had a traditional German spread in the cozy breakfast nook every morning. The service was pleasant. The soap was one of those all in one squeeze bottles in the shower like you find at the gym, so definitely bring your own shampoo. The best parking is next door in the public garage or on the street. The hotel garage is very very small and not really worth maneuvering one's boat-like vehicle into-not that they have many spaces really. Overall, this is my favorite place so far in Amberg for a more Bavarian feel.
