A great stop at the end of a day's stage! Beer garden with lake view and great hotel with very clean, quiet and modern rooms. Stayed here for one night while passing through and will definitely be back! If you are looking for travel accommodation near Landshut, you are in good hands here, even as a cyclist passing through.
