Hotel Goliath am Dom
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Book it if location is the thing you will pay for: it is about a minute from Regensburg Cathedral, scores 9.1 and has a strong breakfast. Skip it if you expect rooms to match a 5-star price, because that is the most common complaint.

Hotel Goliath am Dom is our Luxury pick in Regensburg and the only 5-star hotel among our three. It suits couples and short-stay visitors who want to step out of the door into the Old Town, close to the cathedral, the Stone Bridge and restaurants. Family rooms are listed, and pets appear to be accepted, though the rules and fees are not confirmed.
If you judge a luxury hotel mainly by the room, be careful. Guests say the prime location balances the cost, but that room standards often fall short of the price tag.
Location and getting around
The address is Goliathstrasse 10 in the Old Town, and the location score is 9.8. Regensburg Cathedral is about 0.1 km away, roughly 1 minute on foot. The Stone Bridge is about 4 minutes. Guests confirm it is within walking distance of the bridge and of restaurants.
The Walhalla memorial is about 9.4 km away, or 118 minutes on foot. That is far, so plan on public transport or a taxi. All walking times are straight-line estimates.
What guests say
The score is 9.1 out of 10 from 456 reviews, the top review score, shared, among the 4 hotels compared. The review count is smaller than at our other two picks, so keep that in mind. Guests praise the central Old Town position and the fresh breakfast buffet, with made-to-order egg dishes and local specialities such as white sausages.
The property lists continental, Italian, American, vegetarian, vegan and gluten-free breakfast options, plus breakfast to go. The criticism is about value: the rooms do not always justify what you pay. Room size, noise and renovation condition were not assessed in our data.
Price and how it compares with our other picks
The reference price seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 (10 to 12 November, 2 adults, one room) was €220.50 a night, about €441 in total. The sample median was €99.46, so this is more than double the typical rate. It is not a live quote; check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, ibis Regensburg Zentrum, was about €83.50 a night with a score of 8.3. Our Best Value pick, Hampton By Hilton Regensburg, was about €93.42 with 8.5. Both are 3-star hotels. The extra €127 or so a night here buys the 5-star category, a higher guest score and a position next to the cathedral.
