The Rübezahl in Schwangau

Nice romantic hotel. We are here for the second time and are enjoying the time together. The location, with the view of the castles, is great. The food in the hotel was very good. The wellness area is also very nice. We will definitely come back.

★★★★★ A dream hotel – absolute recommendation! We spent three nights in the Alpen glühen room and were completely thrilled! The room is incredibly tastefully decorated, extremely clean, the bed is huge and super comfortable. The bathroom? Simply perfect – functional, modern and very, very beautiful! But what makes this hotel special are the employees: always in a good mood, always nice and helpful - in every situation. You immediately feel welcome and completely comfortable. The breakfast buffet is amazing! There really is everything your heart desires – a huge selection of fresh, high-quality food, beautifully presented and simply delicious. We only used dinner once, but that was also a real highlight! The wellness area leaves nothing to be desired: everything is extremely well maintained, stylish and absolutely made for relaxation. Conclusion: We would stay here again at any time! The Rübezahl sets standards in terms of hospitality, comfort and enjoyment. A clear 5-star recommendation!

After just two nights stay -> so much relaxation Almost unbelievable and yet it actually came true for me - I had only booked two nights - and thanks to the fantastic atmosphere of the house, I had a hugely strong relaxation effect afterwards, which I would otherwise need two weeks for. Despite the fact that the hotel was almost fully booked, my inquiries and wishes were always taken seriously by the hotel staff and implemented almost immediately, which in my opinion deserved the highest respect. Upon arrival, on the recommendation of the reception, it was made easy for me to “arrive and slow down” with a welcome cocktail in the feel-good launch. Afterwards, Ms. "Car..." didn't leave me alone with my bulky luggage and accompanied me to my room with helping hands. During the relaxing back massage in the Beauty Alm, I was able to immerse myself so deeply into the realm of the senses under the magical hands of Ms. "Syl..." that I secured a follow-up treatment the next day. I was also served majestically in the “Royal Lounge” of the restaurant in the afternoon with delicious coffee and cake by Mrs. “Ihs...” and in the evening by Mr. “Hou...”, so that nothing left to be desired for me. Late in the evening, in the cozy house bar, Mr. “Sam...” and “Adl...” not only treated me to their brilliant drinks, but also entertained me in a friendly manner (I was a guest as a single), which is not something I take for granted. All in all, I can attest that the house has an absolutely familiar atmosphere in which you not only feel completely comfortable, but in which you are also treated “hospitably” in the truest sense of the word. Kind regards F. from E.

Beautiful facade, toxic core: Our conclusion on Rübezahl We stayed at Rübezahl for five days in December and honestly expected more. Overall, the stay was “okay” at best – unfortunately with some clear weak points. But let's start in order: Room We initially booked the Könignest comfort room, the cheapest category - and that was a clear mistake. The room was narrow, uncomfortable and the view of a dreary house facade nipped any kind of “holiday feeling” in the bud. After an upgrade to the Alpentraum deluxe double room, things got significantly better. The room was more spacious, more comfortable and seemed to be of much higher quality overall - a no-brainer for the only slightly higher price. Tip: Save yourself the comfort category, the upgrade is absolutely worth it. Cleanliness and room service? Both are flawless, there’s nothing to quibble about. Spa area The spa area was a disappointment for us. Everything takes place in the basement, and that means no view. Anyone who was looking forward to reading a book in a relaxation room while enjoying the mountain panorama will be bitterly disappointed here - apart from a sauna, there isn't anything even remotely close to daylight. In addition, a large part of the area is textile-free, which we found not very inclusive. service The service was – mixed. Most of the employees were friendly and helpful, but what struck us as extremely negative was the way they treated each other. It was obvious (and unmistakable) how the young team members - presumably trainees - were being dressed down by some of the more experienced colleagues. Comments like “I told you that three minutes ago?!”, aggressive snapping or simply an extremely unfriendly tone were the order of the day. It all happened so obviously that it couldn't go unnoticed by the guests. This was a real vibe killer for us because this toxic energy definitely rubbed off on the atmosphere in the hotel. We really felt sorry for the trainees - and quite honestly: when hotels complain about a lack of young talent, they should urgently consider whether they themselves are responsible for this with such a working atmosphere. Eat The food is best described as “highs and lows.” Some dishes - especially the meat dishes - were really good and were of fine dining quality. But then there were also real failures: the vegetarian options in particular seemed like they were stuck in the 2000s - boring, uninspired, sometimes downright disappointing. The same goes for the soups, which we found completely interchangeable. In general, the food was usually an eye-catcher visually, but the taste was often disappointing. Beautiful presentation isn't enough if the taste doesn't match. Conclusion In the end, we remember the Rübezahl as an average hotel that wasted potential in many areas. Above all, the obviously toxic climate in the team left a lasting negative impression on us - something like that simply doesn't work. Unless fundamental things are changed here, we unfortunately cannot recommend the hotel.

We were only here for 2 days, but we can happily recommend it. The somewhat high price is definitely justified. Very nice wellness area with a view of the castles. We'd love to come back.

We will be back, after what was a wonderful stay with an excellent restaurant, very attentive. Great location for the drivers amongst us .

We stayed in the hotel for 2 days. We wanted to treat ourselves and were disappointed. First of all, I have to say that we have already traveled half the world and have been to many so-called wellness hotels. What is on offer here is by no means the standard of a 4+ hotel! Rooms are nice, as is the view and the design of the hotel. But that was it. The pictures on the internet do not correspond to reality. The only swimming options are a mini outdoor pool, which leaves a lot to be desired in terms of warmth, and a mini whirlpool for, in my opinion, 2 people. That's it. If you want to go into the whirlpool, you have to keep checking to see if it is free. Only a single infusion on 4 days, pretty puny for a “wellness hotel”. The relaxation area is also small. Guests who arrive from midday often look for a place in vain. Some areas indicated in the description are defective. I found dinner particularly bad. Some of them are tasteless and not edible, so it doesn't help to decorate them nicely. Had diarrhea on the 2nd day! When paying, we listed everything that bothered us, but it was ignored here. Here, too, one could have shown some kind of appreciation. In addition, the drink prices are a complete rip-off. Almost 12 euros for 2 teas is almost outrageous. The price-performance ratio is by no means adjusted here. We cannot recommend the hotel. In our opinion, definitely not 4+ stars.

Great 4 star superior hotel with a first class location. I did a few days of wellness there with my mother. The rooms are very modern and the food in the house was very good. We had a beautiful view of Neuschwanstein Castle from the balcony. The spa area is good and sufficient. The cocktails at the in-house bar are amazing!

Bear Long drinks and cocktails are high-priced and can be improved in quality. Whiskey sour was too sweet for me. Negroni is prepared with martini and bitters which is rather unusual. Both drinks were served very attractively, which is what you would expect for €14 and €15 respectively. The bar staff is super friendly. The drinks are generally expensive. Small beer approx. 5€, (tap) water, sparkling or natural is charged at 5.9€ per 0.75. staff Mixed. Everything from very friendly (bar and breakfast) to mostly annoyed. Afternoon cake Cake included. Drinks are charged extra. Hibiscus tea €6.90. In other hotels in this category, hot drinks are usually free with afternoon coffee included. spa The pool is relatively small and is hardly suitable for swimming laps, but rather for splashing around. Only one sauna in the new spa area. Second sauna and steam bath in the old, quite dim and not very inviting area. We only went to the sauna because we didn't feel comfortable there at all. In the spa there are dried apple rings and coconut pieces (which you only understand from the description) and various teas from teapots, as well as water. Unfortunately there is no sports room, but it would be desirable in this price category. You can use a studio in Füssen free of charge, but this was too inconvenient for us. Especially if you like to exercise before breakfast. Dinner and breakfast There is no fixed table. Accordingly, you have to look for a table or have it assigned to you twice a day. The lady in charge of table management seemed quite stressed during our visit. The breakfast buffet is sufficient, but not excessive. There are no fresh juices. Freshly squeezed orange juice is only available upon order. The range of lactose-free products is also manageable. You can order traditional egg dishes, as well as vegetarian and vegan dishes from a special menu. These dishes were excellent. The dinner was also very good throughout. There is no salad or cheese buffet, both are served, which we found pleasant. Since you don't have a fixed table, you have to ask for the bill to be signed every evening. Room We had a double room with a view of the castle. This one is really very beautiful. The rooms were of sufficient size. Only the shower fitting is so complex that it is not intuitively clear how to use it. There are about 6 different buttons, but no way to adjust the shower head. Activities We would have liked more varied activities to be offered in the daily morning mail. However, these are limited to meditation and yoga. No guided hikes or other activities offered by the hotel. Daily information was given about the hotel's own mulled wine stand and the events offered in Füssen. Overall, Das Rübezahl is a nice hotel with certain drawbacks.

Been there twice for our wedding anniversary! Super nice, super friendly! super clean!

Arrive and feel good! Very nice wellness hotel. Top location with a view of Neuschwanstein Castle. Surrounded by lush meadows and cows, you can relax and unwind. I celebrated my big birthday with the family in this fine, personally run house. We were all thrilled. The bar mixes excellent cocktails and the food is very good. Friendly staff, clean rooms. Even our dog Ellie was welcome. Maybe it would still be somehow possible to be allowed to eat outside with your dog in the future.

Great experience in Fussen. Especially the outdoor jacuzzi at sunset with the atmosphere of September, and no one else around. If you are lucky, you may find the onwer's old car collection. I happened to see it when I was parking.

My husband and I stayed at Rübezahl for a week. We had very hollow days there. The food and service are very good. The breakfast buffet is beautifully arranged. The relaxation value in this hotel is really good. It is very quiet and very well maintained. The cocktails are also fantastic 😄

Great hotel, high-quality facilities, including a hairdryer with a diffuser, super attentive service, beautiful, quiet location, intolerances are consistently taken into account in the delicious menu, great breakfast that leaves nothing to be desired, absolutely recommended.

Beautiful hotel, clean room with panoramic castle views, amazing food. We had an AMAZING stay at Das Rubezahl. Close to Neuschwanstein Castle. Quick check in. Beautiful room with spa shower. No A/C but weather was temperate enough to leave door open. Meals were 5 star. Looking forward to visiting again!

Great service, very attentive staff, you immediately feel at ease and arrived. We were there for a honeymoon and booked a great breakfast in the room. No problem with celiac disease, there is gluten-free bread, cakes and dinner is adapted. Many thanks to the entire team :) We'll be happy to come back!

Wir hatten einen großartigen Aufenthalt im Hotel Rübelzahl! Das Personal ist besonders freundlich und wir haben uns zu jeder Minute wohl gefühlt. Alles war einfach toll – von der Atmosphäre bis zum Service. Sehr empfehlenswert
