Hotel-Restaurant Zur Krone Germany

Escape to Fairytale Germany: Zur Krone Hotel & Restaurant Awaits!

Alright, buckle up, buttercups, because we're about to dive headfirst into the fairytale world of Escape to Fairytale Germany: Zur Krone Hotel & Restaurant Awaits! Forget perfectly polished travel brochures; this is the real deal. I'm talking honest opinions, a few awkward tangents, and the kind of insights that only come from someone who's actually been there. Get ready for a rollercoaster of a review, because this place? It's got layers.

First Impressions (and My Own Personal Drama):

Okay, so I'm obsessed with Fairytale Germany. Think Grimm Brothers, castles, and enough schnitzel to feed a small army. Zur Krone? Well, it promises exactly that. And let me tell you, arriving felt right. Even the drive in, past rolling hills and half-timbered houses, just set the mood. The hotel itself is all charming gables and flower boxes bursting with color. BUT, and there's always a but, my GPS decided to go rogue. I ended up circling the town square three times before finally admitting defeat and calling the hotel. Thankfully, their front desk speaks very good English (phew!), and they directed me with a patient, "Just go past the church, then take a right…you'll see us." Crisis averted. Note to self: download offline maps next time.

Accessibility - A Mixed Bag (and a Little Bit of My Own Clumsiness):

Okay, let's get real. Accessibility (Wheelchair accessible, Facilities for disabled guests) wasn't the absolute strongest suit. While they do have an elevator, I noticed some narrow hallways and a few steps here and there. It definitely felt like an older building, which is part of the charm, but might be a challenge for some. Always confirm specific needs before booking. I, on the other hand, am just generally clumsy. I tripped over a cobblestone the first morning and nearly took out a potted geranium. Let's just say, I felt a little less princess-y after that.

Getting Around (and Losing My Way…Again):

Airport transfer – Check! They offer one, which is a massive lifesaver if you're, you know, not obsessed with a certain GPS app. Car park [free of charge], Car park [on-site], Valet parking, Car power charging station – Plenty of options for parking. I, however, managed to park in a spot that may or may not have blocked a delivery truck. Luckily, no one seemed to notice (or care). Taxi service, Bicycle parking – Available too. This is a walkable town, but I’d recommend having access to a vehicle to visit some faraway attractions.

Cleanliness and Safety (because let's face it, we all worry now):

Okay, I’m a total germaphobe. So, I was thrilled by the commitment to hygiene. Anti-viral cleaning products, Daily disinfection in common areas, Individually-wrapped food options, Physical distancing of at least 1 meter, Professional-grade sanitizing services, Rooms sanitized between stays, Safe dining setup, Sanitized kitchen and tableware items, Staff trained in safety protocol, Sterilizing equipment, Hand sanitizer – all the stuff. They even let you opt out of room sanitization if you’re extra picky (I wasn’t, so I just let them do their thing). I felt incredibly safe. Plus, the staff were all wearing masks, and I saw them wiping down surfaces constantly. They even use Cashless payment service! – a major plus in my book.

The Rooms (and My Endless Search for the Perfect Pillow):

Alright, the rooms. Think classic, cozy, and with that unmistakable "Europe" smell (in a good way!). Air conditioning, Alarm clock, Bathrobes, Bathtub, Blackout curtains, Carpeting, Closet, Coffee/tea maker, Complimentary tea, Daily housekeeping, Desk, Extra long bed, Free bottled water, Hair dryer, High floor, In-room safe box, Interconnecting room(s) available, Internet access – LAN, Internet access – wireless, Ironing facilities, Laptop workspace, Linens, Mini bar, Mirror, Non-smoking, On-demand movies, Private bathroom, Reading light, Refrigerator, Safety/security feature, Satellite/cable channels, Scale, Seating area, Separate shower/bathtub, Shower, Slippers, Smoke detector, Socket near the bed, Sofa, Soundproofing, Telephone, Toiletries, Towels, Umbrella, Visual alarm, Wake-up service, Wi-Fi [free], Window that opens.

My room was…well, it was a room. Not palatial, but perfectly adequate. I loved the blackout curtains; key for beating jet lag. The bed was comfy (though I'm always on the hunt for the perfect pillow, a near-impossible quest). The free Wi-Fi worked without a hitch. And the mini-bar was a lifesaver when I got the late-night munchies. One small complaint: the TV only had a few English channels, but hey, you're in Germany! Embrace the culture.

Dining, Drinking, and Snacking (My Favorite Subject!):

Oh, the food. This is where Zur Krone really shines. Forget dieting; you're in Germany!

Breakfast [buffet] – It's a feast! From fresh pastries to eggs, the breakfast buffet was heavenly. I probably ate way too many croissants. The coffee was strong, and the fresh juice was a welcome change.
A la carte in restaurant – Dinner in the hotel restaurant was a must-do. The menu featured traditional German dishes alongside international options. I had the schnitzel (of course!), and it was perfection. Crispy, juicy, and served with a side of creamy potatoes. The atmosphere was cozy, with flickering candlelight and friendly service.
Poolside bar – After a long day of exploring, there's nothing like relaxing at the pool with a cocktail in hand.
Bar – Perfect spot for a pre-dinner drink or nightcap.
Coffee shop – Great for a quick caffeine fix or a light snack.
Room service [24-hour] – Always a bonus!
Vegetarian restaurant – yes, they do have options.

Things to Do (and My Near-Accident with a Beer Stein):

Body scrub, Body wrap, Fitness center, Foot bath, Gym/fitness, Massage, Pool with view, Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]. Okay, so I didn't actually try everything. I did have the massage, which was divine. Pool with view was really nice, I spent an entire afternoon at the Swimming pool [outdoor]. I didn't hit the Fitness center (who has time for that on vacation?). The Spa/sauna, Steamroom and the Body scrub, Body wrap, Foot bath, Gym/fitness are great options if chilling is your thing.

Services and Conveniences (the Little Things That Make a Big Difference):

Air conditioning in public area, Audio-visual equipment for special events, Business facilities, Cash withdrawal, Concierge, Contactless check-in/out, Convenience store, Currency exchange, Daily housekeeping, Doorman, Dry cleaning, Elevator, Essential condiments, Facilities for disabled guests, Food delivery, Gift/souvenir shop, Indoor venue for special events, Invoice provided, Ironing service, Laundry service, Luggage storage, Meeting/banquet facilities, Meetings, Meeting stationery, On-site event hosting, Outdoor venue for special events, Projector/LED display, Safety deposit boxes, Seminars, Shrine, Smoking area, Terrace, Wi-Fi for special events, Xerox/fax in business center.

For the Kids (and My Inner Child):

Babysitting service, Family/child friendly, Kids facilities, Kids meal. I don’t have kids, but I noticed they catered well to families. They definitely have kids in mind.

The Verdict (and My Honest, Slightly Biased Opinion):

Zur Krone is a winner. It’s charming, comfortable, and the food is amazing. Would I go back? Absolutely. Despite the minor hiccups (and my personal clumsiness), it delivered the fairytale experience I was craving. Yes, accessibility could be

Okay, buckle up buttercups, because this isn't your sanitized travel brochure. This is my actual mental breakdown… I mean, trip to Hotel-Restaurant Zur Krone, Germany. Prepare for some serious ups and downs, questionable food choices, and a whole lot of me being… well, me.

Travel Nightmare… I Mean, Dream Itinerary: Zur Krone, Germany

Day 1: Arrival and the Existential Dread of Packing (Munich to… well, there)

7:00 AM: Wake up. Or, more accurately, drag myself out of bed. Seriously, packing is the worst. I’m the kind of person who overthinks everything. Do I really need three pairs of socks? (Yes, obviously, you never know what might happen.) Found a rogue bag of chips from last month. Tempting.
9:00 AM: Attempt to Uber to the train station. Fail. Apparently, "leaving for a trip" and "finding an Uber" are mutually exclusive events. Flail around for 20 minutes. Finally, after 3 phone calls and a near-meltdown, get a taxi.
10:30 AM: Munich Hauptbahnhof - Hell in its most crowded form. The scent of pretzels and stale beer is… surprisingly comforting. Find the train. Pray it’s the right one. (Spoiler alert: it probably isn't.)
11:00 AM: Successfully (!!!) board the train. Settle in. Deep breath. This is it. This is my grand European adventure. I even have a book. (Pats book. Feels accomplished.)
1:00 PM: Arrive at location. Struggle to get off the train with all my luggage. Realizes I definitely brought too much crap. Gawk at the quaint town and the hotel. "Zur Krone" – sounds fancy and like something out of a fairy tale. Oh, I'm already in love.
1:30 PM: Check-in. The woman at the reception is… efficient. She's clearly seen it all. Probably judges my choice of travel sneakers. Definitely judging my slightly-too-full backpack.
2:00 PM: Room. Finally. It's… charming. That's the word. Old, but charming. The wallpaper might be from the 1950s, but hey, it’s character, right? The bed? Not so sure. Feels a bit… lumpy. But I’m too exhausted to care.
3:00 PM: Nap. (Necessary. Packing is exhausting.)
5:00 PM: Wander around the town. This is where the "real adventure" begins, I suppose. Everything just… looks like a postcard. Seriously. Did someone photoshop this place?
7:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel restaurant. Order the Schnitzel. Standard. It's… fine. Not amazing. But the beer? Oh, the beer is divine. That’s an absolute slam dunk.
8:00 PM: Attempt to read my book. Fail. Too much beer. Instead, stare out the window, overthinking. Am I happy? Is this it? (The age old questions)
9:00 PM: Bed. Sleep. (Hopefully. That lumpy bed…)

Day 2: History, Hangovers, and a Quest for the Perfect Pretzel

8:00 AM: Wake up. Headache. (Beer, you treacherous devil.)
8:30 AM: Breakfast. The bread is good. The coffee is… questionable. The lady at the next table is wearing a fur coat. In this weather. I'm officially underdressed.
9:30 AM: Decide to explore some history. Visit a local church. The architecture is breathtaking. Makes me feel… insignificant. (Thanks, history.)
11:00 AM: Walk around and search for a pretzel. My primary mission. Realization: Not every pretzel is created equal. I've had several. Some are dry. Some are too salty. The search continues.
1:00 PM: Lunch. Sausage. Embrace the cliché. It's delicious, though. Probably better than the pretzel I ate 40 minutes ago. Regret.
2:00 PM: That experience: I stumble upon a small, artisan shop. The smell of freshly baked bread is heavenly. And then, there it is: the perfect pretzel. Soft, chewy, salty goodness. My religious experience is now complete.
2:30 PM - 5:00 PM: Basically, go into a pretzel coma. Sit in a park. Eat pretzel. Stare at people. Eat pretzel. People watch. Eat pretzel. Repeat. I am one with the pretzel.
6:00 PM: Attempt to find something to do other than eat pretzel. Fail.
7:00 PM: Dinner at the hotel again. This time, I order the goulash. Not bad. Definitely not the pretzel, though. The shadow of the pretzel looms.
8:00 PM: Back to my room. More beer. Contemplate life, the universe, and the perfect pretzel recipe.
9:00 PM: Watch TV. German television. I understand nothing (well, except "Bier"). Sleep.

Day 3: Departure and the Bitter Sweet Sadness

8:00 AM: Wake. Sad. It's my last day.
8:30 AM: Breakfast. The coffee is slightly less questionable.
9:00 AM: Final walk around town. Say goodbye to the postcard-perfect scenery.
10:00 AM: Pack. (Again! Really. This is a skill I need to obtain.)
11:00 AM: Check out. Efficiency lady is still efficient.
11:30 AM: Back on the train. Thinking about the pretzel. Specifically, the pretzel.
2:00 PM: (approximate) Arrive back in Munich. Back to reality.
… (The aftermath): Over the next week, I spend an embarrassing amount of time trying to recreate that pretzel. I try every recipe I find. I order pretzel-making kits online. I start thinking about moving to Germany.

In conclusion…

Zur Krone was… well, it was a trip. It was messy, imperfect, and full of existential angst. But it was also… pretty damn beautiful. And hey, I found the perfect pretzel. That's worth something, right? Now, where did I put that pretzel recipe…

Escape to Fairytale Germany: Zur Krone Hotel & Restaurant Awaits! - FAQs (with a Dash of Chaos)

Escape to Fairytale Germany: Zur Krone Hotel & Restaurant Awaits! - FAQs (Prepare to Be Amazed... or Maybe Mildly Annoyed!)

Okay, So, Zur Krone...Is It REALLY as Fairytale-y as the Website Makes It Sound?

Alright, let's get real. The website? Glorious. The photos? Instagram-worthy. The reality? Well, it's complicated. Look, SOME parts ARE pure fairytale. The half-timbered building practically *sings* in the sunlight. When you first walk in, your jaw might actually drop. Especially if you're, you know, a bit of a romantic idiot like me. The problem? Fairytales have their imperfections. Let's just say, the "fairy dust" occasionally comes with a slight *dusty* odor. One time, I walked into my room and immediately saw a HUGE spider on the ceiling. I am not exaggering, I screamed like a banshee and had to run to the staff to get someone to deal with it! (The staff, to be fair, handled it with a charming, slightly bewildered patience.) So, yes, fairytale-esque. With a healthy dose of "charmingly old." Don't expect pristine, modern perfection. Expect… character. And spiders. Maybe bring some bug spray.

The Food! The All-Important Food! What's the Deal at Zur Krone's Restaurant?

Okay, buckle up, because this is where things get... passionately mixed. The food, generally? *PHENOMENAL*. Seriously. The schnitzel? Crispy, golden, a symphony of porky deliciousness. The potato dumplings? Fluffy clouds of carb-y joy. And the sauces? OMFG, the sauces. I dreamt about the mushroom gravy for weeks after my first visit. But here's the *massive* caveat: The service can be... a tad unpredictable. One night, you'll be treated like royalty, with waiters anticipating your every need, refilling your wine glass before you even *think* about it. The next night? You’ll be waving frantically for 20 minutes just to get someone's attention. One time, I waited 45 minutes for my dessert. Forty-five minutes! They were probably busy, I totally get it (especially if you're, say, cooking all the food for dozens of people in a tiny kitchen), but still... the hanger was REAL. So, go for the food, absolutely. Just… bring a book. And maybe some snacks. Just in case.

Tell Me About the Rooms! What Should I Expect?

Okay, so, the rooms are… again, they're part of the "charmingly old" equation. Think more "rustic chic" than "luxury spa retreat." You'll find charming details like wooden beams and cozy, if slightly creaky, floors. Some rooms have balconies with breathtaking views of the village, others face the courtyard. And if you're lucky, you'll get one with a bathtub – a *real* bathtub, not one of those tiny shower-in-a-tub deals. Score! Also, be prepared for the "slightly cozy" aspect. Space is at a premium in a building that's been around since, like, the invention of the printing press. Don’t expect a walk-in closet the size of a small apartment. Your luggage might have to share a corner of the room with you. And the noise levels? Well, let's just say the walls aren’t exactly soundproof. You will hear other people. You will *definitely* hear the clock tower chiming on the hour. And possibly the chickens, which, charming as they are, can be a bit of a rooster-y wake-up call. Bring earplugs, just in case. I wish I had.

Is It Family-Friendly? Like, Actually Family-Friendly?

Hmm. This is tough. They *seem* to be family-friendly. There's a bit of a playground in the village, and they even have a few high chairs in the restaurant. Theoretically, it works! However: * **The restaurant:** Can be a bit formal. Little ones might find it a bit… intense. And good luck keeping your kid quiet when they are tired. * **The rooms:** As mentioned, space is limited. Sharing a room with a noisy child could be the definition of "charming" with a side of "insanity". * **The village itself:** Picturesque, yes. But are there a ton of activities specifically *for* kids? Not really. There is the castle! But it could get boring. So, yes, perhaps. Plan for challenges. Packing activities. And maybe a LOT of wine.

What's the Deal with Parking? (Because Let's Be Real, Logistics are Important)

Parking... ah, yes. The bane of my beautiful German escapade. Okay, the hotel *does* have parking. A small amount. I got lucky with my first visit, but on my second, I was circling the narrow, cobblestone streets like a confused seagull, searching for a space. It's tight. Really tight. If you have a monster SUV, prepare for a challenge. And if the hotel lot is full? You'll have to park on the street, which can be a bit of a free-for-all. Honestly, I recommend arriving early, praying to the parking gods, and maybe bringing a small, non-bulky vehicle. It will make your life *much* easier. Or just take a taxi. Which is probably impossible in the middle of nowhere, Germany. Great.

Is There Wi-Fi? Because, You Know, Instagram is Important. (And Work, Ugh.)

Yes! Thank goodness. There *is* Wi-Fi. But. BUT… don't expect lightning-fast speeds. Expect… *adequate*. Enough to check emails, post a few photos, and maybe even FaceTime your mom back home. Don’t expect to stream Netflix without constant buffering. Also, the signal in the rooms can be a bit spotty. You might find yourself wandering the hallways like a digital nomad, desperately searching for a decent connection. So, yeah, Wi-Fi. Use it wisely. And maybe download some entertainment before you arrive. Just in case you want to be entertained.

Okay, So, Overall… Would You Recommend it? (Be Honest!)

Alright, the big question. Would I recommend it? Yes, absolutely. **BUT** (and it's a big but), with some serious qualifiers. Zur Krone is not perfect. It's not always smooth. It's not always convenient. But it's… special. The location is magical. The food is (mostly) divine. The staff, even when stressed, are friendly and try their best. The flaws, the slight imperfections, they're part of the charm. It’s a flawed, human experience, and in a world of bland, generic hotels, that's refreshing. Where To Stay Now
