We were amazed to be able to reserve a room for three in this place in the city center just a couple miles from Neuschwanstein on the day before our visit there. We heard about it through R. Steves.|The hotel manager (owner?) …

We loved this restaurant attached to the hotel we ate here two nights in a row we stayed in Füssen! Wonderful friendly service and both night I had two different fish dishes and they were some of the best fish I’ve ever had. Try the traditional apple pancakes for dessert and local beer! We didn’t stay at the hotel but recommend the restaurant! We will be back!

We never stayed at the hotel but we did have the pleasure of eating at this restaurant. This was the best meal we had not only in Füssen but in all of Germany on our trip. I ordered the Rouladen (which I know I probably spelt wrong) but it was awesome!!! Authentic German food with good service what else do you want, go here.

For our second home during our recent trip through Bayern und Oberösterreich we stayed at this small, family-run hotel in charming downtown Füssen. Our room was neat and clean, and well laid out. Plus, the staff was friendly and extremely helpful. They have paid parking on site, plus there’s a convenient elevator. We would be happy to highly recommend "Zum Hechten" – Altstadthotel.Located in the "Zum Hechten" – Altstadthotel, this lovely restaurant provided us with a bountiful breakfast buffet both mornings, and a delicious dinner for both nights. We enjoyed the Käsespätzle mit Käsesorten dazu kleiner Salat, Jägerschnitzel, natur gebraten, and Seehecht vom Grill. Particularly enjoyable was our dessert the first night, Kaiserschmarrn mit Schokoladenüberzug, auf Früchtespiegel mit Rosinen - und aber immer mit Apfelmu. Our friendly waiter for both nights, Bette, helped us navigate the menu and recommended some Bayern favorites. He also treated us to a round of locally-distilled Haselnussschnaps! Sehr gut!A tip-o-the-Tilley to Rick Steves!

We stopped by for lunch and we left with a smile on our faces because of a satisfying meal. We had pork knuckle, filled pasta cases with vegetables & cheese sauce, and their famous Kaiserschmarrn. Both dishes and desert were very good, especially for people who do not like sweet, we love their Kaiserschmarrn, shedded pancake with apple sauce and raisins. Highly recommend this place to eat.
