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.

A cosy stay with excellent breakfast
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.

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

Nice location at the bank of Donau
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.

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.

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

Hotel Residenz Passau was a great place to stay in Passau. We were able to walk from the railroad station to the hotel. The hotel property is beautiful and wonderfully decorated, right on the banks of the Danube River. Our room overlooked the Danube, which was great! The service people were wonderful and very helpful. The breakfast was outstanding (best in Europe that we have had). The hotel has easy access not only to the Danube and river cruises, but it is in the heart of Passau, so seeing the sites of this wonderful city is very easy!

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!

Sweet but no repeat
A very sweet hotel facing the water with lovely AC. I confirmed a breakfast box and taxi to the train station for 6:30 as breakfast was included but did not open until 7:00. No one was at the front desk to check-out and a sign stated they did not open until 7:00. This would have been helpful to know when I check-in. No taxi and no breakfast box. I had not paid my bill, so I left a note to charge my credit card and walked to the train station.
