Every thing was outstanding. Staff, accommodations, fantastic breakfast, location.
We travel a lot!!! and this hotel was exemplary.
We shall be back for a longer stay.😁😁🇨🇦
Very nice hotel on the waterfront and ideal for access to the town and all its restaurants. Good little parking garage. Bit of a squeeze to get into but staff do check your car size.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
We stayed at this hotel for two nights after our river cruise. It’s a very pretty city fairly easy to walk around and a nice shopping area. Restaurants are close by. The breakfast was very good-great omelette.
Our stay certainly lived up to expectations and the breakfast exceeded them. A better breakfast display of really tasty produce than we have experienced in many more expensive 5 star hotels. The hotel has a great location for the Old town and Christmas market. Our rooms,l were spacious and quiet with comfy beds and very clean bathrooms with lots of hot water. We would definately stay again.
We spent 3 days at Hotel Residenz prior to River cruise. Everything was excellent especially breakfasts, staff, and we quite enjoyed exploring Passau- very walkable. Thank you!
The Hotel was located in an exceptional location with easy access to the old town. The rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The front desk accommodated us with every request. The morning breakfast was superb!! We hope to return some day.

Provided a corner room with a river view upon request with no extra charge.
Old Passau is a wonderful place. Lovely hotel facing the Danube River. Excellent rooms with a view of the castle on the other side of the Danube. Only negative is the bathtubs are very slippery so beware of falling.
I can’t say enough good about Hotel Residenz. The staff were friendly and VERY helpful
In answering our questions and helping us when needed. The room was clean, quiet and exactly what we had hoped for. The included breakfast surpassed anything I could have expected and for 2 plant based eaters, there were more than enough choices. I’ll stay here again in a heartbeat next time in Passau
Staff was extremely helpful. We had a last minute emergency that required a schedule change and the staff worked it out for us.
Great location, right on the river and right on the edge of old town. It's a little over a 15 minute walk to the train station.
Great breakfast
The location is great. We can see Donau from our window. The room is remodeled spacious - we booked cormfortable room which is larger than standard room. Unfortunately, the bathroom is very tiny and sqeecy. Breakfast is ok and peolle can site outside seeing the Donau while eating. Parking is very limites and space is very tight. In general, a nice stay.
Very nice room. Helpful, friendly staff. Wonderful breakfast. The embarkation point for our bike and barge trip was moved due to high water in the Danube. The staff arranged a shuttle to get us to the new location. No problem. I highly recommend this hotel!
This delightful venue is nestled in the heart of the vibrant art alley, and it completely surpassed our expectations! The thoughtful amenities made our stay even more enjoyable, and we loved how convenient the location was, with easy access to all the nearby attractions. From start to finish, it was a truly wonderful experience. The breakfast was fantastic, and the staff were incredibly helpful and friendly. We can't wait to return!❤️#highlytorecommend#@
