This is our Luxury pick for Augsburg. It holds five official stars and a guest score of 9.0 out of 10 from 1,673 reviews, joint first of the 7 hotels we compared.
It suits couples and travellers who want to walk everywhere in the old town and use hotel facilities in the evening. A spa, pool, gym, restaurant, garden and terrace are listed, and family rooms too.
Skip it if you are watching costs. Some guests feel the room rates and extras are excessive, and our Best Value pick costs far less.
Location and getting around
The hotel is at Maximilianstrasse 40. Guests describe a central position in the old town, and the location score is 9.8 out of 10, the strongest figure in this review.
Straight-line walking estimates: St. Peter am Perlach about 5 minutes (0.4 km), the Basilica of Saints Ulrich and Afra about 6 minutes (0.5 km) and Augsburg Cathedral about 10 minutes (0.8 km). These are rough estimates rather than measured routes.
All three are an easy walk, so you will not need transport for the main sights.
What guests say
Location leads the praise: guests like being in the old town within walking distance of the main sights.
Breakfast is the other highlight. Reviewers describe a large buffet with a wide choice of fresh, high-quality food.
Opinions differ on value. Some see it as a proper upscale stay, while others think room and add-on prices are excessive. Room size and noise have not been assessed by us.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults were about €215.00 a night, roughly €430 in total. The sample median was €130.90, so this is about 64% above. These are not live quotes; check today's price for your dates.
Our Budget pick, Super 8 by Wyndham Augsburg (3 stars, 8.1), was about €81 a night. Our Best Value pick, Leonardo Hotel Augsburg (4 stars, 8.8), was about €137.70. The premium here buys five stars, the old town address and the spa and pool on the facilities list.
Breakfast is a buffet, but whether it is in your rate is not confirmed. Spa and pool access may carry conditions or fees, which are also not confirmed.
