We are very grateful to the team at Hotel Weihenstephan for the friendly and warm manner in which we are welcomed every time. We always feel at home! So: close to the train station, comfortable, clean, inviting, good, sufficient food, affordable price. We can highly recommend it! Maria and Gabi from Vienna, December 2023

For the price, it’s an excellent hotel. Room was quaint ( I had a single room). It wasn’t luxurious but bed was comfortable and shower was hot.  …

The Hotel Weihenstephan is ideal for pedestrians and cyclists due to its very central location. The hotel is simple, clean, in an old style. …

If you don't understand the charm of old times, you can stay in a coldly decorated Ibis hotel. I like the old staircase and the winding hallways. The wonderful nostalgia flows towards you, which needs to be preserved.The breakfast offers enough choice. Lactose, glucose or other hypersensitive guests should probably check in at the Hilton.Thanks to Weihenstephan. Please don't change anything. It is always a special experience to come to you.

Very noisy, outside the building it was impossible to sleep normally in the evening.

The hotel is very well located near the train station and within walking distance of the city center. Unfortunately, the rooms and especially the beds felt like they were last repaired/renovated 55 years ago. The mattresses were torture, not recommended with springs in the back. The staff was very friendly and tried hard. We're still not coming back and would rather spend a little more on a newer, less historic hotel next time.

House with 70s charm, the location is very good, in the middle of the city near the train station and the center. There is also a very good restaurant next door which we can also recommend. The service was good and the house and rooms were clean and well maintained. Wi-Fi and parking were included and the breakfast was also very rich and good.Overall a very good price-performance ratio. We would come back at any time.

The ladies aka hoteliers are very nice and attentive, but the rooms are stuck somewhere in the 1970s. The breakfast is very simple, overall it was a journey back in time. Sorry, but nobody needs that when the Ibis Budget ends up being only 20 euros more expensive. So no recommendation!
