Post by: ETCHELLS3 on June 30, 2017, 05:36:17 AM

Just got a notice from the Achat hotel in Kulmbach that they were damaged by the recent flood and are cancelling my reservation


Anybody else have any news?


Cheers

Don't worry, Art. If the worst comes to the worst, we'll keep a patch clear for you next to our tent.

Thanks for the updates.

I have booked a hotel in Bayreuth and will commute.  Good luck to the approximately 100 other collectors who are displaced.

Title: Re: KULMBACH FLOOD Achat Hotel closed

Dear all,


yes I had a phone call with the Hotel today (as my reservation was not cancelled yet) and the Hotel will stay closed at Kulmbach fair as damages have been too heavy.


Went out close to Bayreuth as well but close to the "Autobahn".


So thanks for information on that !

Good that you both got another hotel, lets hope everyone with a room at the Achat hotel has the same luck  ;)

With some French friends we use to stay at Rasthaus Opel, Himmelkron http://www.gasthof-hotel-opel.de
About 10 km from Kulmabach, next to the motorway and very easy to reach
Maybe they still have rooms left

I booked also 4 rooms (single) in a little town, Altkunstadt, about 15 km from Kulmbach.


Unfortunately, one of my old friends cannot come due to health problems.


So I have one room free (price 48 Eur/night with breakfast).


If someone is interested, you can send me a PM.
