Maurushaus

The property is 700 years old, quaint, very central, and surprisingly quiet in our experience. The owner was friendly and explained the area well. The room was clean, and it worked as a base for Neuschwanstein and other outings. Still, after three nights I was ready to leave. We drove around central Fussen for 90 frustrating minutes trying to reach Hintere Gasse because a marathon had blocked some roads and access wasn’t clear. We could have been warned. We eventually went the wrong way up the one-way Luitpold Strasse and walked to Hinter Gasse. The owner then told us guests staying on Hintere Gasse were allowed to drive the wrong way up Luitpold strasse while the marathon was on. Parking is in marked spaces opposite the guesthouse entrance, but they can be hard to get when the hotel is busy. We had trouble finding one on one of our three nights. Our split apartment had a TV, two double beds, an extra pull-out camp bed, cooker, toaster, fridge, microwave, and en-suite bathroom. The breakfast, served 7.50-9.30am, was toast, jams, biscuits, cereal, tea, and coffee. There were no blackout curtains. The shower was small, with barely enough room to move without knocking the controls, and its head grip was loose. There was no soap tray or hand towel rail. The pillows were huge and double-sized but lumpy and uncomfortable. The garden at the back was untidy, though it could make a nice outdoor seating area in my opinion. The owners are elderly, so I won’t criticize them too much for that. One of our three nights in July felt cold. There was no heating on, despite overnight lows around 11c, and we only had thin duvets and a very thin fleece blanket if wanted.
