Ostallgaeu accommodation from NZ$158

We had a wonderful stay at Müller. Very convenient location if you want to go to the castle. The horse ride is literally across the street. The rooms are great with that old world german charm. Its a perfect place that goes with the castle theme. The staff was wonderful and fantastic guides. We ate at the restaurant there and their snitzel was really good. Great deserts. We ate there our entire stay. Even bought an authentic cuckoo clock there. We will definitely stay there again when we come back to the area. They also have free parking for guest which is a plus.

Incredible location, surrounded by mountains and next to a lake. Great walking in the area, with fantastic scenery. Walking distance from both the Hohenschwangau and (a bit further) Neuschwanstein castles. About 40 mins walk each to the towns of Schwangau and Fussen; there's various good museums in the latter. Tegelberg mountain has spectacular views also and can be reached by cable car from near Schwangau. Breakfast is excellent, with full cooked options (not just 'continental'). Our room was a good size and well appointed, with a balcony view. The hotel was in excellent condition throughout. As with all Bavaria - you need to get to dinner by 7pm, wherever you dine. Kitchens close promptly at 8, which seemed to catch others out too (the bar's kitchen closed later, at 9:30). There's little to do in the evenings near the hotel, but after the day's activities you'll probably be ready for sleep anyway. Overall, a lovely, modern hotel with enough locally to spend 10 packed, enjoyable days. Note hotel parking is paid for, at 14 Euros a night.

Great staff - organized and friendly.
