Hohenschwangau Castle or Schloss Hohenschwangau is a 19th-century palace in southern Germany.

It is located in the German village of Hohenschwangau near the town of Füssen, part of the county of Ostallgäu in southwestern Bavaria, Germany.

8.8/10 Excellent! (1,003 reviews)

Generally fine if you go in with 2.5-star rather than 4-star expectations. Breakfast was good. The room was decent and the bed itself was comfortable, though the lack of carpet made it feel a bit cold in winter and the pillows weren’t great. The hotel places a strong emphasis on being eco-friendly, to the point that instead of making up the room they actually unmake the bed, leaving a folded duvet at the end for you to remake it yourself, along with a reminder about how not servicing the room is more eco-friendly. The location, however, is very good.
