Schlossrestaurant Neuschwanstein

The location is excellent - the closest possible accommodation to Schloss Neuschwanstein, and just a short walk to the castle itself, and to the ticketing office in Schwangau below. Complimentary room upgrade to a room with included bathroom was very welcome, and housekeeping was brilliant. The resident outdoors cat was friendly. Staff we met were all friendly.

We were a little surprised that in the off-season the attached restaurant was not open for dinner - if we'd known in advance we could have made other plans. We heard other visitors directed to a broken coin-operated drink machine for beverages after the restaurant closed for the day (after lunch). We'd been really excited to try local South German cuisine at the venue, so this was a disappointment. As well, check-in was via intercom and it wasn't until check-out that we were made aware that we were meant to get a label for our vehicle at check-in. This could have caused problems if we had wanted to drive during our stay.

The hotel is in the perfect location for those visiting the castle, as it is quite a walk from the bottom of the hill to the castle, and approximately 15 minutes from the hotel. The hotel itself has a quaint homey feel. Our room was quite comfortable as we had a sitting room, and private bath. There were other rooms which did not have the sitting area nor the private bath. We ate dinner in the restaurant. the food was delicious. You will not be disappointed.

I was not happy with the fact that the restaurant attached closes at 5pm and opens at 8am. We ate dinner in Fusen so the 5pm closing wasn't as critical. We were up at 6am, and had to wait until 8am for breakfast. There was also no coffee maker in the room, so we had to wait for the staff to arrive, and prepare breakfast.
