We never got to eat here tonight despite our standing first outside on the patio to be seated and…read morethen inside. The wait staff walked by us multiple times without even acknowledging me and my husband, stopping to seat others who had come after we had. Perhaps they were regulars? It was a slow Monday night in town. Not impressed. We took our business elsewhere and enjoyed an excellent meal at Hotel Kreuzer-Post instead!

Horrible experience, but I guess this is what's called "German hospitality"!?!? We went to the…read morerestaurant to celebrate my mother in law's birthday. I ordered a Lemongrass soup that was on the menu, deliberately and desperately looking for a dish without dairy. Menu indicated none of this btw (which is a pretty standard practice these days pretty much anywhere else due to high allergens) and getting attention from of our server to be able to ask was really at the bare minimum. I made an educated guess. Turns out, the exotic food that I ordered (which is made with coconut milk in any other place) is made with rich cream in this joint, so I asked the server NICELY if I could have my meal replaced as I was unable to consume dairy. What followed next, I've never experienced in my entire life at a restaurant. I was SCOLDED in a raised voice for not letting her know about my dairy-free needs. Not only that, but my mother in law had to pay for both meals, because the restaurant and the server couldn't do their jobs. If I had a severe enough allergy, I could have ended up in hospital, or worse, dead! This practice MUST change before anyone gets seriously sick or hurt but as far as the overcharge goes, I guess I can forget about getting a refund for an unconsumed meal... Your business wouldn't survive a day in Canada like this.

Three adults stayed here in April 2013 at the recommendation of travel blogger Rick Steves. We had…read moretwo rooms: room 5 (2nd floor) had a double bed with private bathroom and shower, and a shared balcony that had a partial view of the castle. It is on the back side of the hotel so very quiet. Be sure to use the German rouladens (like garage doors that cover the window) to block out sun and any noise. Room 6 (3rd floor) also has a double bed but with a private bath that has a bathtub/shower combo. It is on the front of the hotel overlooking the Main Street. With the rouladens down it is very quiet. Both rooms were very clean, comfortable beds, plenty of towels, hair dryer and a mini fridge. The hotel has a Michelin rated restaurant on site that we ate at one night. The menu is not in English and wait staff spoke little English so it was difficult to order. We were not overly impressed with our meals here, and the meat one of us had was very tough. We ate at nearby Kornhaus for dinner the 2nd night and were very happy. Breakfast however was good with breads and cruisants, jams, boiled eggs, cheese, meats, cereal, yogurt, etc. Parking is available onsite but VERY difficult to access...you have to back in through a windy courtyard with lots of blind spots. Ask the owner to park it for you. We had a fighter pilot driving us so were able to do it on our own, but he also had to make a few attempts at it. They also offer free Wifi but its only accessible on one device at a time, and only in your room. Would stay here again, but would eat dinner some place else. Be sure to pick up dessert from Cafe Decker and take back to your room to enjoy with the view of the castle.

The cafe is adorable and the food is so good! We had croissants and cappuccinos, and both were…read moreamazing.

This one stands out because of the enormous choice. The quality is good, the staff serving is friendly and located at an A-location only a few meters from hot main market square in a side street. The only minor remark are the prices, they are a bit higher than usually: 10-20%. Probably, because of the location in tourist magnet Staufen. Overall: 4

In the U.S., I avoid restaurants inside of hotels. That is definitely not the case in Germany. We…read morehad one of the best meals - no, experiences - here. The interior is traditional Bavarian...and, we were surrounded by happy locals eating and drinking with smiles on their faces. The menu is full of choices for a classic German meal. I can't believe it, but they even made liver taste good. Good wine, good food, and old fashioned service. I love places where the chef (who in this case was also the owner) comes to the table to talk. When he found me (shamefully) drinking white wine with Sprite, he became determined to improve my palate. He ran back to the bar and quickly returned with a true weissweinschorle...white wine with UNsweetened sparkling water. OK...I'm improved. And, I no longer have to be embarrassed for adding something to my wine in the interest of greater enjoyment! Be sure and top off your meal with some Schladerer schnapps. It's Germany's best schnapps and the brewery is right around the corner. But be warned...this is not your American mama's schnapps. Be prepared to be warmed from head to toe.

This was a really lovely little hotel in Stauffen. We didn't have reservations, as me and my…read morehusband were just driving around Bavaria, and decided last minute that we wanted to check out this town for a few days. The hostess at the counter said they had availability and asked if I wanted to see the room first before booking, which was nice, but unnecessary- the hotel was one of the suggested places to stay in the tour book we had, and it hadn't let us down yet. It was a nice, traditionaly looking German room, with a balconey and nice view of the town. It was supposed to be a non-smoking room, but we could still smell a bit of the musty smoke coming from other rooms. It was still ok, and didn't bother us too much. It served breakfast in the morning, with the typical items which was good, and we also tried the restaurant in the evening- a heavy pork chop, fresh frites, and a glass or two of local wine and we left very full and satisfied.
