Hotel Schiefes Haus

This is a really cool historical hotel which translates to “leaning house”. And it is literally a leaning house with slightly tilted floors and walls, like walking into a museum. The staff here are incredibly hard working and attentive and do so much. This is a rare experience to see. Make sure you book with the hotel because booking sites really raise the price.

We were very warmly welcomed and shown our rooms - plus given a map of the local area and provided suggestions of things to see & places to eat. The hotel is a perfect blend of historic, rustic, and modern. It is beautiful & clean. The rooms are spacious. The beds are comfortable with super pillows. We enjoyed afternoon wine in the back porch overlooking the creek while passerby’s continuously took photos of the house! |After unloading our luggage out front, we parked the car (Parkhaus am Rathaus), stayed for 2 nights, and explored Ulm by foot. Breakfast was superb (available 0630-1030). A wonderful selection of meats, cheeses, breads, eggs, fruit, cereal, yogurt, coffee & tea. |Stay here if you are looking for a unique experience!! The staff were so kind, friendly, welcoming and accommodating! Great stay!

The Hotel Schiefes Haus was absolutely amazing. The staff was so kind and helpful, the room and views were beautiful, and breakfast each morning was just what we needed to start our day of exploring Ulm. The Haus is so conveniently located to the heart of the city, but was also a quiet and calm place to relax at the end of the day. Ulm as a whole was so charming, and every time we come back in the future, we will definitely be staying at Schiefes Haus.

I spent a night in Ulm on my road trip back to Switzerland from Copenhagen and had chosen this unique hotel, that must be one of the most photographed in the world. Although the house in itself is far from horizontal, floors inside appear to be. Beware if you are really tall because it may be difficult to reach your bed through the low passages. Owner and staff are great and beds, shower and breakfast are up to the standards of the start rating. If you are lucky, you can enjoy a violin concert while sipping a beer in the shade on their veranda overlooking the little stream running parallel to the Danube river.

This place is special. The floors are angled crazily. Apparently it was in the Guinness book of records back in the 90s when it was renovated into a hotel. For the convenience of the location and its special unique character you do have to sacrifice a bit of comfort. We stayed in the room on the very top floor. It took 4 steep flights of stairs to get to our beds. The shower over the bath was a bit awkward. But for us it was well worth it. Beds were comfortable. The decor is a bit dated (90s chique all the way) but everything is in very good condition. Special mention of the excellent breakfast. The service was also fantastic. Thanks!

Schiefes Haus, or “The Crooked House,” is one of the main attractions in the city of Ulm, Germany. This unique hotel is famous for its tilted shape and long history. Built in 1406, the building originally served as a merchant’s house before being converted into a hotel.

Perfectly located for exploring the city on foot, this delightfully crooked hotel was also comfortable. Service was attentive--we never had to wait long for anything we requested. Daily breakfast was good. All in all a good experience. Just be aware this is an old building, so if you're expecting modern five star amenities you may be disappointed.

We stayed in this hotel for one night because I like to stay in places that are a bit different and this definitely filled the bill. 600 years old in the Guiness book of records...so cool! |The two ladies at the front desk/ serving breakfast were really really lovely and friendly. |Our room was just under the eaves and very spacious (im Himmel). We loved it. Just one word of advice: this room is not good for people who can't do stairs, are tall and can't bend easily or don't like to get too warm in summer. |Everything was clean and the breakfast buffet was lovely. We would definitely go there again. |We parked in the Fischervirtel car park which is less than 5 mins away.
