Best Western Plus Parkhotel Maximilian Ottobeuren

Great stay. Rooms were clean and cozy. Hotel staff was always helpful. One note to be mindful of is there is a new and old side. I stayed in the old side, but it didn't feel outdated. Just no central air or fan. I will stay again in the future. Also, the spa area is beautiful and relaxing. I especially enjoyed being able to swim in the heated outdoor pool.

High-class spa hotel. Located in a forest. Huge rooms. Very high-class spa facilities. Good breakfast. Amazing area. In the forest. And close to the town

The Park Hotel Maximiliana as the hotel was once called has all the elements of grandeur and elegance. But in the years since the management has changed, the hotel continues to lose its high standards in every part of the hotel from hygiene, to maintenance, from front office to food and beverage. If not for the location in Ottobeuron and our memories of the good times at this hotel, we probably wouldn't return.||The most discerning part of the change is that Housekeeping is outsourced. That alone may be alright, but it is outsourced with no supervision by the Hotel. This means that the outsourced company, which clearly has once again changed as the faces are all new, means that there is a freewheeling approach to hygiene. We witnessed it ourselves during our recent visit. Rushed cleaning, corners avoided, used towels used to wipe the sink and glasses, used towels used to wipe the bathroom just spreading more germs, superficial touches, and the room is ready for the next guest. We walked into a room which was supposed to be ready but was not, which means communication with front office has also lapsed. Cleaning and maintenance in the corridor as our photos show, also non existent.||The front office staff have all changed too. No continuity. Morning shift was polite, afternoon shift less so. Some staff even just temporary or casual with little training or experience. Dare not ask anything out of the usual basic questions. No, that extra level of service doesn't exist here.||Restaurant Breakfast is alright. But the hotel no longer has an atmosphere for dining in the evening. The new approach is bright lights and a limited menu, and one really doesn't feel any heart or passion any more. But the grandeur of the dining space remains as if a beautiful room is left without any soul.||Sometimes I wonder if the Park Hotel had been managed by a luxury hotel management company, the heights that this hotel could have reached. After all, Ottobeuron is a charming town, located between Memmingen and Kempten, and with well maintained facilities and wellness offerings, this could easily have been the destination hotel in this region. But no. I suppose with all the Multivac corporate customers there for business, a generally clean room and breakfast may all that is essential at this once-upon-a-time Grand Hotel.

It was a perfect winter holiday hotel. They have wonderful rooms where you can be alone with nature in the forest and wake up to a perfect view in the morning. Also, the hotel is very clean and well-maintained. It had an excellent breakfast. The only problem is that since you are in nature, insects enter the room when you open the window. If you are afraid of insects, you should know this. But generally hotel was so beautiful.

Good comfortable beds, friendly staff. Air circulation wasn't so good.

Facilities are very well maintained. Amenities and refreshments are always taken care of. Wellness area is excellent but I can imagine it could feel short when occupancy is high. Gym is small but equipments are up to date. It was strange that the service team showed very low motivation. Mohammed from breakfast service was actually the only one who smiled to the customer, did clean up the tables with proud and helped most of the customers with their needs. Breakfast choices are good. Very peaceful location while near to the town.

…..a good one. Driving south to Italy, this was to be our hotel for the night.||Easy to find and free parking just at the entrance. The lady in the reception, didn’t understand a word in English, and a lot of papers needed to be filled in, before check in. Even pre booked on the BW website as platinum member.||This to be the only negative thing about the stay. Great size room at a quiet location.||Tip: take a walk to the city centre.||Great evening / morning restaurant and service.||Didn’t try the spa and pool area.

1,5 hour waiting for check in, after that, even though the bar/dinner room was free, we didn't get any meat as a hotel guest. 0 stars given, I only give 1 because you cannot give less.

If you are in the area for business or pleasure I would recommend Parkhotel Maximilian. Located in a great setting, with both trails, a park, and walkable to town. The hotel itself was good, though the rooms are a bit dated (circa early 1990s). However, looking past that, the staff was great and the food also outstanding. The patio area was also nice. If you have a reason to be in Ottobeuren, this is a great option for lodging and/or dinning.
