Pros: The hotel is in a great location, close to castles and within walking distance of Füssen. The breakfast was enjoyable with a good variety, the staff was friendly, the room was cozy, and the spa service was excellent.Cons: In my opinion, the room service fee (9€) was a bit high, and the room cleaning could have been better. Once, they left wet rags on the table, and on the first day they forgot to replace towels that were left on the floor. We also had issues with the TV remote, but the staff resolved it upon our request. We missed having a kettle in the room to make tea and warm up on chilly autumn days. Overall, it’s a good hotel, but for such a price, I would like to face fewer disadvantages.

Fantastic location with a view of both castles. Very friendly staff, at reception, in the restaurant and also in the wellness area. Breakfast and dinner were very good. I can also fully recommend the wellness area, not huge, but completely sufficient, even for several days.

The Hotel Rübezahl has probably seen its best days. In our opinion, not recommended - far too expensive for the services provided!Service is far too bad and they still want to take additional money from the guests.We have a voucher for two nights with various treatments for a total of €990. received as a gift. When we wanted to redeem it we got the answer that we were being made an offer. The “offer” then looked like this: we had to pay around €200 more. Drinks etc. in addition of course...When we arrived we were offered a coffee, but we had to wait around 15 minutes before we were even served when we asked, even though we were the only guests at the reception.The "King's Nest" was booked in the voucher, we got the "Cuddly Nest" with a view of the parking lot - according to the employee, it was an upgrade. Later we found out that the snuggle nest was worse. Here the employee probably meant "ab-grade" because she didn't speak English.Unfortunately, the food wasn't as good as we expected, the soups were subpar, Vitello Tonnato was tasteless and the service was clueless. I was presented with a rack of lamb, even though it was a pork chop. At breakfast, the scrambled eggs didn't arrive until 30 minutes after the buffet started and we were only offered coffee after we urgently asked.When we checked out we were supposed to pay €80 more for the treatments, even though we hadn't booked them.So overall very unsatisfactory and that for €1,200 for two nights!

Yes, what's wrong here, the staff is nice, the rooms are clean and pleasant. But unfortunately things don't look so good at the luxury guesthouse anymore. If it was still great in October 2023, unfortunately I can't confirm this again. There's always something lacking in spice or sophistication. Unfortunately, the price-performance ratio is no longer right. The menu looks like it needs to be saved. The same thing at the bar, some kind of snack (pretzel stick, chips, nuts) - nothing to go with the €14 drink. When asked, we were looking for something together, what a shame...

Like a fairy tale. This hotel is so charming , and by leaps the best hotel in the Schwangau area (the hotel itself and the location). The bartender here is one of the best I’ve encountered in the world. …
