In-Depth Information
Hotel König €€
( 3850;
www.hotel-koenig.de
; Untere Donaulände 1; s €65-100, d €89-140; )
This riverside property puts you smack in the middle of the Altstadt. The 41 timber-rich
rooms - many of them enormous - spread out over two buildings and most come with
views of the Danube and fortress. One slight disadvantage is the lack of English. Parking
is €10 a night.
HOTEL
Hotel Wilder Mann €€
( 350 71;
www.wilder-mann.com
; Am Rathausplatz 1; s €50-70, d €80-200; )
Shar-
ing space with the glass museum, this historic hotel boasts former guests ranging from
Empress Elizabeth (Sisi) of Austria to Mikhail Gorbachev and Yoko Ono. In the rooms,
folksy painted furniture sits incongrously with 20th-century telephones and 21st-century
TVs. The building is a warren of staircases, passageways and linking doors, so make sure
you remember where your room is. Guests receive a miserly discount to the glass mu-
seum.

HendlHouseHotel €
( 330 69;

;
Grosse Klingergasse 17; s/d €55/78)
With their
light, unfussy decor and well-tended bathrooms, the 15 pristine rooms at this Altstadt new
boy offer a high quality to price ratio. Buffet breakfast is served in the downstairs restaur-
ant.
HOTEL
Rotel Inn €
( 951 60;
www.rotel-inn.de
; Donauufer; s/d €30/50; closed Oct-Apr; )
An ar-
chitectural abomination geared up for cyclists, rooms at this no-frills 'cabin hotel' near the
train station are literally capsules equipped with an inbuilt futon and basic storage space.
However it's not bad considering the bargain price. Breakfast is €6 extra.
HOTEL
Zeltplatz Ilzstadt €
( 414 57; Halser Strasse 34; adult/child €8/6.50; )
Tent-only campground idyllic-
ally set on the Ilz River, 15 minutes' walk from the Altstadt. Catch bus 1, 2 or 4 to Kleiner
