Slightly off centre and other Fussen, Germany Hotel/Accommodation Reviews

It cost me 156.60 euros for 4 nights.
Breakfast starts at 7.30 and I did like the ambience of the dining room.
Dinner is also available though the hours when I was there were limited to between 1830 and 1930 sit down time.
My one whinge about this place was the tea room. While I loved the decor and would like to have spent more time in it, the room reeked of tobacco smoke and, on the few occasions I went there, someone always seemed to be about to light up. Having said that, the new laws about to come in in Germany may preclude smoking in such places, just like in many other parts of the world. I certainly hope so. Also, you couldn't get a cup of tea after about 2130 which was a problem for me because, being a writer, I'm apt to be working away with my pen at all sorts of odd hours and would have loved to get a cuppa.

Unique Qualities: Hotel Filser is slightly out from the main centre of Fuessen, about three blocks. For mine, this gives it the advantage of being quieter.
It is actually one block back off the Augsberger Road and the balconies have views to the Alps but you won't be taking any fantastic shots from them. It's more glimpses than expansive views.
One of the big pluses for me was the free internet, I certainly gave that a caning!
The rooms are spacious, there is a lift (a big plus in Germany), good shower/toilet and the usual central heating so you didn't get cold.
The staff were exceptional and skilled, I rated them highly.
There's no minibar and the pillows were woeful but those last two were common for me all through Germany so don't go anywhere expecting better because you probably won't get it.
Summing up, not only would I stay there again, I'm actually planning to do just that.

The staff were helpful and all bar one spoke English.
Breakfast was buffet style and there was plenty of choice but the restaurant at night was really good. They feature local dishes and even name their butcher etc., a nice touch.
The rooms were a nice size and we had one on the park side with a delightful balcony though, as it was winter, we didn't spend a lot of time there.
Rooms were cleaned and towels changed daily.
My only complaint is that, just like in every German place I've ever stayed, they don't have any tea making facilities in the room.
The internet is available but at a cost. From memory it is 5 euros per hour.
They have sauna facilities and such downstairs though I didn't have occasion to use them.
I would recommend you request a room with a park view as the one I saw at the back wasn't anywhere near as good.
I would definitely stay here again.

Unique Qualities: The thing I really liked was its location. It's situated right on a nice little park near a ski jump, tennis courts and children's play area.
I also liked the short walk into town past some of the best of Fussen, especially the last part alongside the river Lech.
I liked the way they had sought out some of the best local produce for their restaurant and had a chef who knew how to cook it.
Another thing I loved was the bird feeding station. Every morning I would step onto the balcony and watch as the pecking order took place. I saw five different species of birds but this was very early spring so I imagine you would be able to view more later on.
As a suggestion to the owners - perhaps it would be better to have breakfast in the restaurant instead of the back breakfast room. That way you could sit and watch it all happen.
