Top 10 Forelle Hotels

The Rose Deluxe Room I booked was amazing. The front balcony faced the Alpine lake and the back balcony could see Neuschwanstein Castle. There is a seating area transition between the room and the bathroom, which fits my aesthetics and habits very well. It is definitely the best hotel room I have ever stayed in, bar none. There should be no more than 3 rooms in this location of the entire hotel. This room type is highly recommended. The room number I booked is 5205. Great value for money and ticks all the boxes.

An easy seven-minute walk from the train station is the comfortable and delightful Hotel Sonne Fussen. You will have to cross a two-lane road, but there are crosswalks at either end. There are actually two entrances. If you go to the right-side facing Sonne, there is a convenient door entering the hotel. The other door is on the people street of Reichenstrasse. In between the entrances are several smaller stores. There is a convenient parking garage in the lower floor. There is a room where you do have access to a washing machine and dryer found in the garage area. The reception staff, like the hotel, are friendly and accommodating. Don’t forget to ask for your “Fussen Card” which will give you a free bus ride up to Neuschwanstein and back. The busses are right by the train station. Our room was indeed very clean and pleasant. We had a balcony room facing the mountains. The only downside was the lack of privacy to one side. The balcony is nice though and we did use it The bed was large and comfortable. The bathroom was large enough. We did like the soft-carpet in the room. By the desk was a large picture of the library museum that was once in a Benedictine monastery and later became City Hall. If you have time, visiting that museum is well worth the money and time. Our two days at Sonne’s we elected not to have our room cleaned. A box of towels was kindly left at our front door. Sonne’s was the only hotel to do this in our month long journey through Bavaria. The hotel is decorated with interesting pieces of art. Some of the pieces could be in a movie. Breakfast is a highlight. The staff takes superb effort to make your breakfast most enjoyable. There are all sorts of items to choose from. You will not starve. I did like the sausages and croissants. Most people, if not all, come to Fussen for the castle. We found the village of Fussen to be a delight. Besides the monastery museum, there is Hohes castle close by and a doable walk to Lechfall. An Aldi’s is just down the street. We found walking the people streets brought real character to Fussen. We did enjoy the hotel’s restaurant for one meal. On a side street is a superb Asian restaurant called ‘Thuy Golden Stabchen.” They had the best shrimp.

The hotel was lovely. Staff great. Breakfast superb. However…. I was charged when I booked online. On checkout, I was was charged again plus extras. I pointed out that I had already paid for the room and was told that was a pending charge and would be refunded. My irritation at this, is that the hotel should have completed the original transaction that was “pending” and only charge me for what ever extras (dinner, parking etc) on checkout. The result was a refund, 5 days later. This is very frustrating when you are holidaying on a budget and every penny counts. No other hotel I have come across does this. They take a charge in the first instance, then complete that charge and only bill for extras at checkout.
