Royal Castles - Day Trip to Neuschwanstein & Linderhof Palace from Munich
"Awesome new building. Everything new washrooms, hotel suite, gym. Great experience. Loved the quick stay before connecting flight. Highly recommend. Breakfast buffet excellent too. Staff friendly for a Canadian"
"The personnel were awesome. The hotel was close to a lot of restaurants and close to downtown. It was very clean and beautiful rooms. They also have a restaurant with good food and drinks. I will definitely return."
"Great quiet location at the end of a U and S Bahn line. The convenience to the train, bakery, grocery store, and drug store were wonderful for our week+ stay. The breakfast was a little high priced for what it offered, but it was good. The themed social rooms on each floor was a fun touch, though some were missing items in them. We would come back here again if we come back to Munich."
