Hotel Schlosskrone is a town-centre hotel in Füssen, close to the station and a few minutes from the old town, which makes it one of the most practical bases for visiting the castles without a car. Trains from Munich and Augsburg stop at Füssen, and local buses to Hohenschwangau leave from near the station, so you can step from the platform to your room and be at the castle ticket centre in about ten to fifteen minutes the next morning. The hotel is a mid-to-upper-range choice in the Füssen market and is generally rated highly by guests. It appears in the Bavaria tourism board's accessible-holiday listings, which is helpful for visitors who need step-free access. Rooms are in a traditional Alpine town style, and the setting puts you close to the pedestrian streets, cafes and inns of the old town. Details of room types, spa areas and breakfast arrangements change, so use the rate page for the current list.
Location and getting around
The main strength is the position. The old town with the Reichenstrasse, the Hohes Schloss and Kloster St. Mang is a short walk, and the railway station is close enough that arriving with luggage is easy. From Füssen you can reach Hohenschwangau by local bus in about ten minutes or by taxi, and the Tegelberg valley station and the lakes are a short drive. If you are driving, ask the hotel about parking before you arrive, because old-town streets can be restricted and spaces may be limited at busy times.
Who it suits
It is a good fit for travellers on a train-based itinerary from Munich, for couples who want to wander the old town in the evening, and for anyone who prefers a town hotel to a countryside resort. Families will find that the town offers plenty of casual restaurants. The hotel is less of a destination spa than Das Rübezahl, so it is better for people who plan to spend the day out and about.
What to check
Confirm breakfast, parking and the type of room, because we could not verify those details from the hotel's own pages and they vary by rate. Ask for a quiet room if you are a light sleeper, since town-centre properties can have some street and station noise. In winter, ask about the Christmas season and check the Füssen tourist office events page for markets and concerts, which can raise prices.
If you plan to see both castles and the museum, buy your timed tickets before you arrive and book a morning slot, then return to Füssen for lunch and an afternoon in the old town.
