Merian Hotel - Rothenberg ob der Tauber: Rothenberg Retreat from the Rain

by Jehcekah

This was by far the smallest room that we stayed in during the course of our trip. It was clean and affordable and had a nice breakfast. The hotel is located not too far from the trainstation. It is next door to a gas station which was a nice way to get a late night snack. This hotel definitely wasn't the best hotel in Rothenburg, but it offered us a clean place to lay our weary heads.

Minotel Alpenrose - Nesselwang: Nesselwang? Everybody goes to Nesselwang!

by Jehcekah

Unfortunately for us our travel agent was unfamiliar with traveling in Germany and booked us into the Minotel Alpenrose in Nesselwang. Nesselwang is a tiny town which is 20km away from Neuschwanstein Castle. The train station and all other businesses close at 4pm. We arrived in Nesselwang at 7pm with no map and no idea where we were. Luckily some strangers helped us find our hotel and actually drove us up the hill to it. The brochure said that it was located 1km from the train station. This may be true, but you have to walk up some pedestrian walkways to shorten the distance to 1km. Without a map or any information, you would never know that this route exists.
When we arrived at the hotel we entered the front door to find the place empty. Hearing some talking behind a door, I opened it to see a meal being served. I spotted someone who seemed to be in charge and told them that we had reservations. She said, "Alpenrose?" and I said "Yes." She told us to go back outside, down the driveway and into another door. So we did this and once again encountered an empty hotel. A phone had a sign on it in German with a phone number to call. We called it and the owner answered. She said she would be right down. She got to the desk, checked us in and gave us our key. Her daughter and her daughter's boyfriend came in and she told them to show us our room. We followed them outside again and into the boyfriend's car. They loaded our suitcases and us into the car and drove us two doors down to Christina's Guesthaus. The daughter pointed to the building and told us our rooms were upstairs. By now we were REALLY confused. We went into the hotel and there were no lights on and no one was there. Our key said "Wiesensee" so we began to search for the room with that name.

(continued below)

We climbed up three flights of stairs (there was no elevator) and found our room at the very top. We opened the door and found ourselves in a very large suite. In the ceiling there are two skylights which open up and show us a view of mountains and the town below. One skylight was over our bed. We looked at the stars for hours. The room also included a full kitchen, which we didn't use. We still are not sure on why we weren't staying at the Alpenrose, but we are glad that we were able to stay in such a beautiful room.

Minotel Panorama Residenz & Resort: Bavarian Mountain Retreat - Bad Reichenhall

by Jehcekah

Our travel agent informed us that all Minotel hotels are close to the train stations. This may be true in some cases, but not for the Minotel Panorama. The hotel is situated on top of a hill and overlooks some beautiful mountains. The building is split into two sections: a hotel and an apartment complex where people actually live. The room was decorated very nicely, but the bathroom was quite small and once again, the drain didn't work. We had a balcony which overlooked the mountains so we were able to relax in the two lounge chairs and look at the stars. The resort part of the hotel's name refers to the spa. There is a pool, sauna, solarium and other services available. The pool was very clean and open to all guests for no fee. One negative side to this hotel was the restaurant. It claims to be open until 9pm, but when we went for dinner at 8pm we could only choose from about 5 entrees and the staff wasn't very accomodating. The breakfast was very good and included pastries and breads that no other hotel included. Many of the front desk workers didn't speak English, so be ready to struggle with your German at this hotel.

Hotel Amba: Centrally Located Munich Hotel

by Jehcekah

The central location of this hotel is the best thing that it has to offer. Located just west of the Hauptbahnhof and on the tram tracks, there are many opportunities for city travel. We stayed there on two separate occasions. Our first room was a triple, which had two twin beds pushed together and one separate twin bed. The bathroom was very small and the shower stall didn't drain properly. The room was tiny and had no character. The second time we stayed at the Amba, we had a very large double room with a huge bathroom this time with a bathtub. This room was more like what we had hoped to be staying in for our honeymoon. The hotel provides a breakfast every morning with a variety of foods available. There is access to a computer which has internet capabilities but it is 2,60 Euro per 1/2 hour and more money for every 1/2 hour thereafter. Really, all in all, the hotel was standard but it's location and convenience were a plus for us.

Erharthof: Great flat with view on the mountains

by tessy

We rented a flat on a farm. It was just great there. We had 3 rooms, the kitchen and living room were very very big. And a nice balcony just under the roof with an excellent view to the Alps - the Herzogstand!

Erharthof is a great place to stay with little children and even taller ones like it there. Playing ground for the little ones, billiard, table tennis, soccer for the older ones! And a stepper for me! Lol

The Hilton

by Gili_S

Well, in general I recommended the youth hostel of course and then there are the Zimmers. But in case you are in a business trip with enough budgets, you can go to the Hiltons, they have two in Munich and one in Nurnberg.

Arabella - Sheraton: To be found at many locations

by globetrott

There are many great Arabella-Sheraton hotels in Munich and some more in Bavaria.
I was working for 3 years in Centralhotel of Arabella - it is really just 200 meters off Theresienwiese, and also at Olympiaparkhotel, opposite the BMW-4-cylindre.

On my pic you see the biggest Arabella-hotel in Munich.
For more infos and pics - please have a look at my link below !

All Arabella hotels have been built recently and have all modern comfort.

The only place I found around Garmisch: One exeption to the rule

by globetrott

OBERAU is a small village, and you will pass by this church, when you drive from Oberammergau to Garmisch.

Oberau was the ONLY village, where a large parking had NO sign, that motorhomes would be forbidden at night - and the whole place was filled with about 20 of them, when I arrived.

"Wild" camping in motorhomes: Motorhomes are mostly NOT welcome

by globetrott

Most of the places in southern Bavaria show this sign - unfortunately !
One one hand they force people to go to a hotel or camping-site, on the other hand these places and hotels mostly are not willing to take you as a customer, if you will not stay at least 4-7 nights.

At so many places I simply place my motorhome close to a castle the night before and will visit it the next morning...

...This will NOT be possible in southern Bavaia
