Hotel Wiedemann

"I really liked it. The room was large, with a balcony and a beautiful view."

Hotel Villa Ludwig

"Very beautiful place and friendly staff. Appreciate for all the preparation and timely response! Convenient to see the castle / easy way to get the ticket too. Would recommend it!"

Hideauts Hotels der Rosengarten

"Ok but lousy pillows, very early check out."

Seehotel Hartung & Ferienappartements

Hotel San Marco

"Wonderful location right on the lake. Many other restaurants nearby, but a really good Italian restaurant right in the hotel. Parking in the building or on the street."

Old Kings Design Hostel

"It was clean, nice and a great experience."

Landgasthof Hanselewirt

"The hotel is far from the castle ticket center. There is a bus stop nearby, but the bus times are not stable, so it is inconvenient. If you are traveling by car, it is recommended because there is a parking lot, but it is not recommended for those traveling by train."

Hotel Helmer

"We were staying in Hohenschwangua close to both castles and was told that Schwangau had plenty of restaurants. All looked pretty full so we decided to park the car and walk around the main street to find a restaurant, most places need reservations or were full, one place recommended Helmer Hotel & Restaurant which was just one street off the main road. We were lucky enough they had room. Service was good and the meal was ok. I went for the croquette and schnitzel but found I could taste the oil in both. There was a self serve salad bar which was very good. The location was ideal and the restaurant was nice and cozy. I believe there was a wedding or event going on in one of their banquet rooms. "

Hotel Filser

"This hotel is is terrible, they know nothing about customer service and try to charge their clients extra where possible. I was told I could pay at the property and booked the property for this reason. They then tried to charge my debit card several times and then cancelled my booking. Whilst at the same time sent me messages saying they look forward to welcome me. I had to find alternative"

Dreimäderlhaus - Das Vegetarische Boutique Hotel

"The hotel is located just off a two lane road. It is NOT in the town of Fussen but not far either. That is actually a good thing as parking in Fussen is difficult. The hotel has an unassuming look from the street and I was worry that it was not going to be too memorable. But looks can be deceiving. Hotel staff were terrific and helpful. Very wood interior. No elevators but they did help bring our luggage to the room. Each room is different. We decided to go with what they referred to as "the apartment". It was an extremely large hotel room that really could have been used as an apartment. It was on the upper floor with a large balcony facing a beautiful park and lake with an outstanding view of some of the Alps. There was a very large living room and TV (no English language though). A historic looking ceramic heater. A full kitchen with all utensils. A large nook for dining. Very large master bedroom. There is another bedroom that can sleep about 4 with skylights. Noise from the road was not a problem. Very clean and all that is needed for a good trip. Just one bathroom but more than adequate. Next door is a pizza restaurant which was very good. Hotel breakfast was very good as was the service. Parking is more than adequate to accomodate the number of guests. Overall, the hotel was extremely comfortable. Provided you have a car, this hotel is centrally located to all three castles of King Ludwig. Unbelievably picturesque alpine area. You will not be sorry. While we were there it snowed and sometimes heavily. I was concerned about driving but the lady staffing the desk looked at my car and said that it has the German regulated snow tires (they change tires at certain times of the year), it was a heavy car MB GLC, and had four wheel drive. She also noted that Germans know how to drive in the snow so not to worry. For both here and the Black forest it continued to snow and I will say I was extremely impressed how well the Germans keep their roads plowed and salted. And, yes, they do know how to drive in the snow. So what started as a big negative in driving turned out a big positive as the countryside/mountains were stunningly beautiful in snow! The location is also close to several smaller touristic towns but the castles are the highlight."

Haus Gohlke am See

"Great accommodation in super location. Modernly equipped apartments, we were there as a family and would like to come back. Host very nice and premature, simple check in. Parking directly at the accommodation."

Hotel Geiger

"In August 2025, we stayed for three nights at this hotel with our family. In total, we had booked three rooms for ten people, including an eight-year-old girl with a gluten allergy. Due to an unexpected traffic jam, we arrived later than planned. Check-in went smoothly, and the restaurant chef was very helpful. He assured us that a gluten allergy would not be a problem and that we could simply mention it to the breakfast staff in the morning. However, when we did so at breakfast, the conversation was less straightforward. We were asked why this information had not been provided earlier. I had, in fact, already done so: a few days in advance, I had completed a questionnaire in which I clearly stated the gluten allergy. The chef was aware of it. I had also tried to notify the hotel by phone, but there was no answer, even though the website states that they are contactable until 10:00 p.m. In the end, I was reluctantly told to wait ten minutes. We found the overall service to be rather unfriendly, which was disappointing. Upon arrival at the restaurant, we were also informed that we needed to place our full order by 8:00 p.m., otherwise no food would be served. We complied, but by 9:00 p.m. everything was already closed. Afterwards, there was only one café/restaurant in the village open until 10:00 p.m., after which everywhere shut. This seems to be typical for Hopfen am See: after 10:00 p.m., there is very little to do or drink anywhere. For some travellers, this might be a drawback, especially for those who enjoy relaxing outdoors in the cooler air after sunset. Despite the beautiful nature, stunning views, and idyllic lakeside location, I would personally not choose this destination again. The hotel is charming but somewhat dated and does not have the needed air conditioning. On a positive note, there was always a solution for parking the car, even when the street was full (paying parking on the street). All in all, I had hoped for a more positive experience, but this review reflects honestly how we experienced our stay."
