Hotel Cafe Fuggerhof

Perfect location right on the edge of a huge cross country ski trail/Field. We had our Labrador Retriever and she absolutely loved running around out there int snow. The hotel was cozy and really easy to park and offload all your gear, especially if you are on the first floor. No Lobby or elevator. straight to beautiful room with a balcony looking out at the German Alps... Close by are the resorts, still figuring out the best way to them. I drove and that was weird but parking was easy and close to the Baun. Downtown was really easy to walk to with many different types of restaurants and of course, a great Irish Pub...we will be back.

I stayed here 5 nights (11 - 16 Sept 2023) and thought it was absolutely fine. my simple, single (en-suite) room was perfect for what I needed (it didn't have a mountain view but that didn't matter). The breakfast buffet was generous, varied and tasted great. And the staff were friendly, attentive and patient with my rusty German! You also get (in summer season, at least) the Walser Card which gives discounts on a number of attractions, local transport and cable cars - sadly, I didn't realise until after it's also valid at the Dampfbierbrauerei (steam beer brewery, which is also worth a visit..!). The hotel is located about 12mins' walk from the village centre stores, bars and restaurants. I came to Oberstdorf for the Viehscheid (festival marking the bringing down of the cattle into the valley from the high alpine pastures), and the hotel is situated perfectly on the right side of the village for this. Similarly for the ski jumping centre. There's also possibilities for hiking/biking direct from the hotel out across the meadows, or onto any of the other hundreds of kilometres of trails around the village. I'd certainly have no issue staying here again.

Positives first. The hotel was immaculately clean and very friendly staff. with comfortable rooms, an excellent breakfast buffet and a marvellous view. Negatives. The hotel was very different from its advert. It has NO restaurant. We had to drive out every evening to find a meal. There is no bar or proper lounge only a small fridge at the end of the breakfast room. There is no lift and parking at the weekend was difficult.Our balcony was lovely, but the hedge in front badly needed cutting and restricted our view of the meadow. Without these things I do not feel the hotel entirely reflects good value for money.

Im Sommer 2020 buchten wir uns im Fuggerhof ein und waren voll zufrieden. Für dieses Jahr (August 2021) buchten wir bereits im Januar über CHECK24 und bekamen eine positive Bestätigung. Auch unser Sonderwunsch für ein bestimmtes Zimmer wurde uns vom Fuggerhof über CHECK24 bestätigt. Jetzt eine Woche vor der Anreise kam über CHECK24 die Stornierung. Nachfrage bei CHECK24 ergab, dass die Stornierung durch das Hotel veranlasst wurde. Das Hotel jedoch bestreutet, mit der Stornierung etwas zu tun zu haben und könnten sich das auch nicht erklären. Angeblich könne man im Computer nicht einsehen, ob ich schon einmal eingebucht gewesen war und man wollte mir auch nicht sagen, wann "unser Zimmer" anderweitig vergeben worden sei. Zwar wurde mir ein Alternativangebot unterbreitet, dass aber meinen Vorstellen nicht entsprach. Meine Vermutung. Das Hotel war überbucht und da müssen halt einige dran glauben.
