Rosenheim's BEST Kept Secret: B&B Hotel Review (You WON'T Believe This!)
Rosenheim's BEST Kept Secret: B&B Hotel Review (You WON'T Believe This! … or Maybe You Will, After This Rambling)
Okay, folks, buckle up. Because this is not your average, sterile hotel review. We're diving headfirst into Rosenheim's "BEST Kept Secret" – a B&B situation – and let me tell you, it's a wild ride. I'm talking about a place that promises something special, and… well, let's just say it delivers something. Whether it's the "best" is entirely dependent on what you value, and let's be honest, my values are a hot mess.
First, the name is misleading, "secret" implies some sort of clandestine operation. It's in Rosenheim, Germany. Not exactly off the beaten path. But hey, marketing, right?
My Arrival & First Impressions: The Accessibility Angle… Or Lack Thereof.
Right, let's rip the band-aid off early: Accessibility. This is where the "secret" starts to feel less like a hidden gem and more like a slightly dusty attic. The website mentions facilities for disabled guests, but the execution can be… challenging. Finding specific details before arrival was a mission. After arriving, well, it’s a bit of a mixed bag. There's an elevator, which is a huge win. But maneuvering a wheelchair through the corridors? Tight. Super tight. Also, the car park seems accessible, but it was a bit of a scrum to get parked, and that’s not exactly the sort of welcoming start one hopes for.
- Wheelchair accessible: Mostly, but be prepared for tight spaces and perhaps a bit of a logistical puzzle.
- Facilities for disabled guests: Officially, yes. But check ahead and clarify specifics.
- Elevator: Yes! A godsend.
Alrighty then, moving on.
Sanitation Nation: Is This Place OCD-Approved?
In these post-pandemic times (a time I’m desperately trying to forget, even though they’re still here…) cleanliness is paramount. And, good news/bad news situation here. They really seem to be trying. The rooms were "Rooms sanitized between stays," there were copious amounts of "Hand sanitizer" dispensers, and the staff were definitely wearing masks. I did not see "Anti-viral cleaning products" specifically mentioned, but hey, the place didn't look like a petri dish, so, good enough for now, right? The "Daily disinfection in common areas" was evident, but, I might’ve felt even more relaxed if I could have "Room sanitization opt-out available." The "Staff trained in safety protocol" was obvious because the training was done on a very very very tight budget. I saw it.
- Anti-viral cleaning products: Potentially.
- Hand sanitizer: Everywhere. Good job!
- Daily disinfection in common areas: Check.
- Rooms sanitized between stays: Allegedly, yes.
- Staff trained in safety protocol: Yes.
- Room sanitization opt-out available: Unclear.
The Rooms: Cozy, But Prepare For the German Efficiency.
The rooms themselves? Okay, so I booked a "Non-Smoking" room (obviously), and it was… well, it was a room. It boasted many of the usual suspects: "Air conditioning," "Alarm clock," "Bathrobes" (yay!), "Coffee/tea maker" (double yay!), "Hair dryer," "In-room safe box," "Mini bar," "Refrigerator," "Wi-Fi [free]," and "Window that opens." There's also a "Desk," I guess, if you must work. I, fortunately, did not.
The bed was comfy enough. The "Blackout curtains" actually worked, which is a massive win. But, and there's always a "but," the "Bathroom phone," while a nice touch, felt a little… antiquated. It's like they unearthed it from some early-2000s time capsule.
I also noticed "Air conditioning in public area," and that was extremely welcome in the summer heat.
- Air conditioning: Present and accounted for!
- Alarm clock: Yup.
- Bathrobes: Soft and fluffy, a definite plus.
- Blackout curtains: Crucial for sleep.
- Coffee/tea maker: Fuel for the soul.
- Hair dryer: Functional.
- In-room safe box: Standard.
- Mini bar: Well-stocked(ish).
- Refrigerator: Kept my beer cold, that's all that matters.
- Wi-Fi [free]: Working.
- Window that opens: Fresh air!
Dining, Drinking & Snacking: A Gastronomic Adventure (Maybe?)
This is where things get interesting. "Breakfast [buffet]" is advertised, but don't get your hopes up for a Michelin-starred experience. It’s a solid continental breakfast. They had "Asian breakfast" which was a delightful surprise, and I was surprised to see "Western breakfast" as well. The "Buffet in restaurant" was okay. The "Coffee/tea in restaurant" was decent, but not anything to write home about, because I was too lazy to write home.
What I did enjoy, and this is where I start to warm up to the place, was the "Poolside bar." A poolside bar! During the hot summer evenings. I had my first beer, they had a "Happy hour" and I was able to finally chill.
- Breakfast [buffet]: Basic, but does the job.
- Asian breakfast: Unexpected and pleasant.
- Poolside bar: The place really starts to shine!
- Happy hour: Yes
Things to Do (Or Not to Do): Relaxing, German Style?
Alright, "Ways to relax…" well, the "Swimming pool [outdoor]" was the highlight. It "Pool with view" was nice, although the view was mostly of the surrounding buildings. The "Sauna" was available, and a solid option if you enjoy being sweaty. The gym/fitness was there, but it looked slightly abandoned…
- Swimming pool [outdoor]: Definitely a plus.
- Pool with view: Acceptable.
- Sauna: Standard hotel sauna.
- Gym/fitness: Present, though not heavily used.
Services and Conveniences: The Germans are Efficient, But…
The B&B offers a range of services. "Concierge"? Present. "Cash withdrawal"? Check. "Daily housekeeping"? Always good. The "Luggage storage" was very handy because I was lugging a ludicrous big bag. The "Elevator" I'd used before.
- Concierge: Available, helpful.
- Cash withdrawal: Convenient.
- Daily housekeeping: Tidy rooms are appreciated.
- Luggage storage: Useful.
- Elevator: A lifesaver.
The Verdict: Is It a Secret Worth Keeping?
So, is Rosenheim's "BEST Kept Secret" actually a secret? Maybe not. Is it the best? That depends on your priorities.
The Good:
- The Poolside Bar. Seriously. Worth it.
- Cleanliness.
- Good, basic breakfast.
- The staff, despite seemingly stretched thin, were genuinely kind.
The Not-So-Good:
- The accessibility issues need a serious overhaul.
- The "Secret" is a bit… overstated.
- Some of the facilities could use a little loving care.
Final Score: 7/10. Worth the trip if you're in the area, and definitely worth it if you like a good poolside bar.
My "Would I Recommend" Moment This place has a certain something that I can’t put my finger on. I can find myself sitting there for a long time, talking to the bar man (who was the only person there), he knew everything. It's like finding a hidden treasure within a practical hotel.

Saint-Tropez's Hotel de Paris: Luxury Redefined (Unbelievable Pics Inside!)
Okay, buckle up, buttercups! This isn't your sanitized, Instagram-perfect travel itinerary. This is the real Rosenheim, B&B Hotel edition. Expect chaos, questionable food choices, and me, wrestling with my inner monologue. Let's do this…
Rosenheim Rhapsody: A Messy, Unfiltered Adventure (B&B Hotel Edition)
(Day 1: Arrival & Existential Dread – or, "Where's the Schnitzel?!")
- 3:00 AM: Wake up in a cold sweat, convinced I forgot to pack underwear. Checked three times. Panic averted. (Thanks, previous me, you rock!)
- 6:00 AM: Airport madness. Queue rage. Delayed flight. Swear under my breath at the overpriced coffee. Start mentally planning my escape to a quiet Bavarian meadow filled with fluffy cows.
- 12:00 PM (ish): Arrive in Munich. Train chaos. Turns out "Deutsche Bahn" and "on time" are… well, let’s just say it’s an aspirational relationship. Finally, finally, stumble onto the Rosenheim-bound train. Breathe.
- 2:00 PM: Check-in at B&B Hotel Rosenheim. It's… functional. Clean enough. The tiny elevator makes me slightly claustrophobic. My room, however, is blessedly quiet. Unpack. Spot a tiny, suspiciously long hair in the bathroom. My inner germaphobe screams, then cowers.
- 2:30 PM: Desperately in need of sugar and validation (and maybe a good cry). Discover that the vending machine in the lobby only has… pretzels. Deep breath. Embrace the pretzel life.
- 3:00 PM: Wander into Rosenheim's city center. It's charming! Cobblestone streets, colorful buildings. Feel an almost overwhelming urge to buy a ridiculously expensive cuckoo clock. Resist. (For now.)
- 4:00 PM: The Quest for Schnitzel begins. I am STARVING. Wander into a restaurant that looks promising, only to find it’s closed for a private event. My stomach growls a mournful symphony of emptiness. This is the first sign that my "perfect" itinerary is already dissolving into a puddle of missed opportunities and ravenous hunger.
- 4:30 PM: Find a different restaurant. Order schnitzel. My expectations are high. They’re… met. The schnitzel is glorious. Crispy, juicy, everything I'd dreamed of. I nearly weep with happiness. I may have eaten it too fast.
- 6:00 PM: Stroll along the Inn river. Watch some ducks. They seem happier than me. Contemplate the meaning of life. Decide the meaning of life is probably schnitzel and a good nap.
- 7:00 PM: Attempt to watch TV in German. Fail miserably. Turn on subtitles. Watch mindless reality TV. Judge the people on the screen. Feel slightly less alone.
- 8:00 PM: Crumble into bed. Realize I forgot to buy water. Sigh. Deal with it in the morning.
(Day 2: Cultural Clashes & the Pursuit of Apfelstrudel)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up, parched. Curse myself for forgetting water. Drink tap water. Hope for the best.
- 7:30 AM: Breakfast at the B&B. The coffee is… well, it’s coffee. The bread is… the bread. The cold cuts are… interesting. I stick mainly to the bread rolls and look enviously at a German family who look like they’ve been eating this breakfast for 30 years.
- 8:30 AM: Determined to be "cultural," I decide to visit the St. Nikolaus church. It's beautiful, majestic, and… a little overwhelming. I clearly haven’t spent enough time in houses of worship. I feel like I'm doing something wrong. Also, I’m pretty sure a nun gave me the side-eye for wearing a baseball cap. My bad, Sister.
- 9:30 AM: Wander into a local shop. The owner is an elderly woman who speaks about two words of English. I attempt to communicate through frantic hand gestures and a lot of pointing at things. I end up buying a ceramic gnome. I have no idea why.
- 10:00 AM: The Apfelstrudel Hunt. I need Apfelstrudel. It becomes my sole motivation. Ask three different people where to find the "best Apfelstrudel." They all give me conflicting directions.
- 11:00 AM: Finally, after a heroic quest that would make Odysseus proud (okay, maybe slightly less epic), I find a bakery that allegedly has the "holy grail" of Apfelstrudel. The aroma alone is enough to induce a near-religious experience.
- 11:05 AM: The first bite. Sweet, flaky, warm, with a perfect balance of apple and cinnamon. I close my eyes and savor the moment. This is what heaven tastes like. I might have shed a single tear. Don't judge me.
- 12:00 PM: Attempt to visit a local museum. Get distracted by a particularly fascinating street performer. He's juggling… sausages. Yes, you read that right. Sausages. My brain short-circuits. I'm mesmerized. Forget the museum. Sausage-juggling takes precedence.
- 1:00 PM: Lunch. Another schnitzel. Because, reasons.
- 2:00 PM: Decide I need to start planning my exit strategy from Germany. Begin casually looking at train times back to the airport.
- 3:00 PM: Attempt to write postcards. My handwriting is illegible. I'm not sure if the recipients will ever understand the profound experiences I tried to describe in these notes.
- 4:00 PM: Back at the hotel. Feeling lazy and a little bit sad. Netflix.
- 6:00 PM: Dinner. More schnitzel. (Okay, maybe a bratwurst this time.)
- 7:00 PM: Attempt to learn a few German phrases. End up mostly mangling the language and sounding like a confused caveman. "Wo ist die Toilette?" Is currently the only thing I feel comfortable saying.
- 8:00 PM: Bed.
(Day 3: Departure & The Lingering Taste of Apfelstrudel)
- 7:00 AM: Wake up. The feeling of being completely full from the past few days is an ever ongoing feeling.
- 7:30 AM: Breakfast. Pretend to be one of the locals who eats the breakfast for 30 years. Coffee, bread, and cold cuts!
- 8:00 AM: Pack. Remember the gnome. Pack the gnome. Wonder what the hell I'm going to do with a ceramic gnome.
- 9:00 AM: Check out. Say goodbye to the surprisingly comfortable, although slightly dingy, B&B Hotel.
- 9:30 AM: Attempt to buy a final Apfelstrudel for the road. The bakery is closed. Fury. Despair.
- 10:00 AM: Stumble onto the train, clutching a bag of pretzels and a lingering sense of "what have I done?"
- 11:00 AM: Say a final farewell to the Bavarian countryside, and the schnitzel dreams.
- 12:00 PM: Head back to the airport, ready to return to reality, and already planning my return to Rosenheim, and that sweet, sweet Apfelstrudel.
Post-Trip Thoughts:
Rosenheim: A mixed bag. The B&B was… a B&B. The people were friendly (even if I couldn't always communicate). The schnitzel was divine. The Apfelstrudel was transcendent. And the ceramic gnome? Well, he's got a spot of honor on my shelf. And I guess that train ride gave me a story to tell. Overall…it wasn't boring…and sometimes, that's all that matters. Now, where can I get some more schnitzel?

Rosenheim's BEST Kept Secret: B&B Hotel Review (You WON'T Believe This!) - FAQs (and Rants!)
Okay, spill the tea! What's *supposedly* so great about this B&B in Rosenheim that everyone's whispering about?
The "authentic Bavarian experience"... give me details! Did you feel like you time-traveled? Dirndls everywhere? Pretzels the size of your head?
What about the rooms? Were they clean? Cozy? Did you feel like you were in a museum or a comfortable home?
Okay, the service. Were the staff friendly? Helpful? Did they speak English reasonably well? (Because my German is terrible.)
What about the location? Is it central? Easy to get around? Did you have to walk miles to see anything?
Food, again, what about dining options nearby? Were they any good, and did you feel any pressure to only eat traditional German food?
What about the "secret" part? Did you feel like you were in a real “hidden gem”? Did I learn anything truly valuable?
Was there anything *awful* about it? (besides the whole pretzel incident.)
