hideauts hotels Der Rosengarten. in Fussen

After 8 days of hiking the Lechweg trail, we crossed from Austria into Germany and stayed in a standard double room, No. 207 on the second floor. The room was quite tiny. There was a massive wardrobe, which was completely unnecessary given the limited space. The waredeobe's door didn’t close properly, so we had to keep a chair against it to hold it shut. There was no space to open two large suitcases on the floor.

The room was located next to the plant room, so we could hear water running. The walls are not insulated, and we also heard a crying child for much of the night. The small en-suite bathroom has a sliding door attached to the outside, leaving a 3cm gap between the wall and the door. You can hear the person doing their ablutions, which is not very functional, and might not be ideal if you don’t want to hear morning routines.

The mattress was very hard with awful pillows, which added to our discomfort. I personally struggled to get a good sleep. Additionally, the Fussen card was available, but I only discovered it after reading the leaflets. We requested it the following morning before leaving to visit the Neuschwanstein Castle. The bus tickets are free with the card. Do request it, if you haven't been offered. They come with the accommodation.

The staff was great and very helpful. We liked the idea of the honest bar, where you can purchase items in the breakfast area anytime and have the fee added to your room afterward. On this occasion, we didn't end up using it, but we appreciated the concept.

The hotel which I would call a hostel is about a 10-minute walk from the station, which didn't bother us at all. We checked in late and received the code to obtain the key immediately after calling the provided phone number. Please note, there is no late reception, so if you're arriving late, make sure to organise this in advance.
