"It started off with the most super friendly and helpful receptionist who made us feel so welcome. Beautiful old building with lots of fantastic features. Lovely big room with kitchen facilities and stunning views. Super convenient location, free parking, great breakfast included in the price, we didn’t want to leave. Only quirky thing was the clear glass in the bathroom door with a perfect view of whoever might be sat on it. Hubby wasn’t keen but it just made me laugh and certainly didn’t ruin any enjoyment. One of our favourite stays this holiday, would definitely return xx"

Wittelsbacher Hof Swiss Quality Hotel

8/10 Good
"The room was very clean and had a good amount of space. One of the main reasons I chose here was because one of the amenities listed is that they have “Laundry Service”. I requested an iron to iron my clothes because I was just going to do it myself and was told no. The next morning I went back and asked if they had laundry service…again, no. People traveling for work look for these amenities and expect that they will be able to look presentable after having their clothing packed for days on end. So this was a major inconvenience. However, the property itself was very nice. I personally wouldn’t stay here again for that reason but that may not be important to others"
