Landhotel Guglhupf

Family run hotel, midway between Fussen and Schwangau, both being within 2 km walking distance. We felt very welcome, there is a tea/coffee room of the lobby to make drinks during the day. Breakfast was excellent. Good size room, very clean. Mountain view of the castles from our back window. Private carpark in-front of hotel. There is no elevator to top floor so could present a problem for anyone with mobility issues.

My wife and I spent 5 days at the family-owned Guglhupf (which means "upside down cake") , and enjoyed the experience. (Bavaria is magnificent.) We reserved a premium double room, which was spacious, well configured and extremely comfortable. (Regrettably that room didn't offer a castle view.) The bed was very nice, though a standard sized pillow would have been helpful; instead they offered a very large one and a tiny one. They, like every other German and Austrian hotel we stayed at on our trip, provide duvets rather than top sheets, spreads and blankets. There was plenty of closet and drawer space. Because the top-floor room was under the rafters, the low overhead might have been an issue for someone who is very tall, but I am 6'1" and had no problem. The room also offered a sort of mini-sauna and a separate single bed, neither of which were used. Housekeeping was immaculate. The bathroom was quite large, and offered a whirlpool bathtub as well as an enclosed compact shower. It was starting to get cool in the evenings, and the radiators were very effective. Parking was free. The staff were both welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was extensive and excellent. We were told by our local friends that parking is sometimes an issue in the area of the castles. They offered to drop us off there, and since they were committed later, they suggested that we just walk back to the hotel after completing our tours. It was an easy 25 minute hike downhill on a paved bike/walking path for most of the way, and sidewalks the rest. On a good day a hike up to the castles would be no problem for anyone who is motivated and reasonably fit. Further, we walked by a small pasture at the edge of town, and as we passed along the fence, the Bavarian Bovine Bell Choir gave us an enthusiastic (and free) concert.

Excellent location if you are planning to visit the Castle Neuschweinstein. Their staff is very kind and efficient. Free parking in front of the hotel, rooms are clean and comfortable, some of them with a view to the castle. Breakfast is good, I just didn’t like the curtain in the shower

Gemütliches, schönes Hotel mit individueller Note, sehr nettem und aufmerksamen Mitarbeiter. Leckeres Frühstück. Gugelhupf gab es täglich und für jeden. Den ganzen Tag über. Wir hatten ein sehr großes Zimmer unter‘m Dach mit großem Bad, Balkon und Infrarotlicht-Kabine.

Schönes Zimmer mit kleiner Terrasse und gutem Singlebett im ruhigen neuen Nebengebäude. Blitzsauberes geräumiges Bad und wohlig warm. Wasserkocher mit großen Porzellanbechern im Zimmer! Teebeutel gibts in der für alle Gäste 24 h geöffneten Teeküche jederzeit! Ausgezeichnetes reichhaltiges Frühstück war im angemessenen Zimmerpreis enthalten.

Sehr freundlicher Empfang, Begleitung bis zum Zimmer. Unser Irish Setter wurde ebenfalls herzlich begrüßt. Die Abreise ebenfalls sehr freundlich und unkompliziert. Wir hatten im Nebenhaus im DG ein wunderschönes großes Zimmer mit Balkon. Tolles Badezimmer mit Wirlpool. Ausgezeichnete Betten, wir haben sehr gut geschlafen. Das Frühstück war hervorragend, viele ausgesuchte Kleinigkeiten die man in größeren Häusern nie zu sehen bekommt. Sehr freundlicher Service. Man merkt hier einfach, wenn ein Hotel familier geführt wird. Ganz besonders nett, zur Kaffezeit gab es Kaffee, Tee und natürlich dem Haus entsprechend Guglhupf Kuchen. Im Gemeinschaftsraum stand ein großer Getränke Kühlschrank, wo man sich gegen Bezahlung 24 Stunden bedienen konnte. Das Hotel liegt schön gelegen vor den Türmen des Schlosses Neu Schwanstein. Vielen Dank lieber Daniel und Deiner Familie für diesen schönen Aufendhalt, wir kommen gerne wieder.
