Hotel Hirsch

Hotel Hirsch

8/10 Good
"Weird. Room was great! Location is unbeatable! VERY LOUD! From street noise. The hotel rules and services were unclear. We tried to eat at the restaurant but were informed we needed reservations (who knew?). Although the restaurant was nearly empty, we were moved to a side room where they served us the WORST schnitzel I’ve ever had. We were accompanied by others eventually but we were made to wait too long to clear dishes and get our bill."

"Perfectly clean and comfortable but lacking the “special touch”. Seemed understaffed, especially in the restaurant. Half board menu was the same each night - would have expected a wider variety of options. Took a while to get served. Booking spa treatment didn’t work online but managed to get a massage booked eventually and that was a good experience. It was just small things that were a bit disappointing. Flowers on the breakfast tables were dead. Grass was not mown outside our ground floor room and it looked quite messy. Overall, it was an excellent location for visiting Neuschwanstein Castle and the lake but more attention to detail was required."

10/10 Excellent
"A very good hotel—clean, modern and extremely stylish. We particularly liked the playroom with books and games, which was a lovely space for families to spend time together. Dinner had a small menu of only four choices, but the food was very good, as was breakfast. The sauna and gym facilities were excellent. The only minor issue was the open-plan shower area, particularly with a large mirror directly opposite. Fine for a couple, but if you are travelling with family or friends, it offers very little privacy when showering. A stylish, modern and welcoming hotel with excellent facilities and very good food."

"This was a very modern, chic and trendy hotel. Very clean and the location was great. We were traveling with our family and the bathroom was a little challenging because there are no doors to the bathroom or shower. The shower drain clogged, and because there is no lip in the shower, water went all over the bathroom (but the staff cleaned it up quickly). I think this was the market rate for other hotels in Fussen, but it was expensive, and breakfast and parking wasn’t included. Maybe just not the right fit for our family, but a couple looking for a fun getaway it would be awesome."

"Amazing location, the food at the restaurant is incredible, the breakfast buffet is a great value for a large selection of food. BUT not all of the rooms have A/C, and if you are going in the summer, you MUST make sure that you book a room with A/C. The hotel lent us a fan to use in our room but honestly it didn’t help. We were unbearably hot in our room. We slept with the windows wide open and it was noisy out on the street late into the night, and then started again at 5am. We barely slept during our 4 nights there. But if you can lock in a room with A/C, this is a great hotel."
