Landhotel Guglhupf

Excellent family run hotel with views of Neushwanstein Castle. Good breakfast and ample parking. Check-in and check-out was a breeze. The young gentleman on the front desk escorted us to our rooms and all 3 rooms were together. Great location for touring local castles. I highly recommend this hotel.

Convenient location, friendly, professional staff, clean and safe. Recommend!

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.

We stayed here for two night and found it perfect for us, the reception is very efficient and helpful and gave us all the information that we needed. Our room was in an annexe and was both large and clean with good facilities. Breakfast was good with a good selection of choices, certainly no complaints here. One nice touch is that there is tea, coffee and cake available FOC in the afternoon and a help yourself honesty bar where you write down what you have taken. We liked the position of the hotel, it was on the outskirts of a large village/small town with open fields on one side and opposite. The Kristal Therme was within walking distance and we went there each evening and about 800 metres in the same direction a very good bar but you may need to book in advance. The castles are easily reached by both a (free) bus or by car. The only downside is that the reception closes at 17.30 so do not arrive late!

We loved our one night stay. Our room was spacious, clean, had a very comfortable bed and lovely deck with a view of both castles in the distance. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was delicious and the cake and coffee when we arrived were a welcomed touch. When visiting this area in the future I would definitely stay here again.

Uli and Alex were so welcoming and kind! Love this place. Would highly recommend!! Thank you guys :)

We enjoyed our stay, the breakfast was delightfully varied and unique. I really enjoyed that all items were labeled.

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
