Hotel Weinbauer 

This is an absolutely wonderful hotel. I stayed here during August 2025 with my husband and daughter as part of a German road trip. We had come from Munich, which we very much enjoyed, but Schwangau was a nice change of pace. The village itself is absolutely stunning, set in the mountains, and the hotel is in the centre. It's a lovely building, and the lady on reception was really helpful when we first arrived, explaining where to get the bus for excursions and things like that. We had a triple/family room, as well as a small balcony that you could just about see Neuschwanstein Castle from. The room was like an Alpine lodge, with a wooden floor and wood-panelled walls, very clean and comfortable. As a hotel guest, you get given a "Schwangau visitor card", which you can add to your wallet on your phone. This is really handy and gets you free travel on the buses, including the ones that go to the castles. We found this very useful and used it to visit Neuschwanstein, as well as taking a trip to Fussen on another day. We didn't visit the hotel spa as there was so much to do in the area, but the included hotel breakfast was very nice and we loved the hotel location. It's a great location for the castles, Fussen and loads of other activities. We also enjoyed the royal spa in the village, and the castle brewery was a great place to eat and drink. If I had to criticise anything it was that it was slightly warm in the room, but that didn't spoil our enjoyment of it and we would love to return. I'd recommend it in a heartbeat ... so much nicer than staying at a chain hotel (which we almost did, in Fussen).
