“Well appointed friendly family owned Bavarian hotel”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed yesterday NEW

The hotel gets an "A". The room and bedding were comfortable. The owners were helpful and friendly! The location on the river was a plus. We utilized the common rooms to meet with friends and appreciated the decor and ambience. The buffet breakfast was delicious with many good choices! Everything in Passau was within walking distance. Just a great place... More

“Overpriced, however still very nice.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago

We stayed at this hotel because it was the most expensive 4 star hotel in Passau, so we assumed it must be the best. Either all the other 4-star hotels (there are no 5 star) are terrible or this hotel is just overpriced. The hotel is very nice. There is parking (although about 100 metres down the road in the...

Dear Jungl3Boy, thank you very much for your detailed review. We are a little bit confused as you point out that 'the Hotel is very nice' and 'the breakfast is good, service good and the rooms are nice', on the other hand you are afraid that the other hotels must be terrible, if they are worse, what isn't really a...

“On the river”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 week ago

Lobby with chairs, separate library for drinks and socializing, friendly staff, and rooms with a view of the river. Near to multiple sights and restaurants and only a 10 minute walk to the main shopping and restaurant area. Noting that a previous reviewer wanted wash clothes-you NEVER get such a thing in European hotels. We were on a bike tour,... More

“Interesting Choice”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 weeks ago

This is a mid to upper range hotel right on the river front. The hotel generally seems aimed at the older client and the decor is suitable for this market. The location is perfect for those taking a river cruise or the like. Although the hotel advertises that it has parking this is not exactly the case. Directly out the... More

My husband and I recently stayed here for 2 nights while visiting Passau. The hotel is in a wonderful location right on the Danube.

“Lovely Hotel on the Danube, Close to the Old Town”

My room had a rooftop terrace from which I could see the tops of houses.

“Lovely hotel on the banks of the blue Danube.”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed August 14, 2016

This is a wonderful hotel with a superb location on the banks of the Danube. Rooms are very well appointed, the staff members are exceptionally helpful and the breakfast was super. Parking was just a few steps down the road. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and just wish it could have been longer.
