Hotel Garni Pension Gambrinus

This „motel-style“ hotel has spacious straightforward rooms with a balcony at the front. The decor is minimalist but practical, large shower room/toilet, plenty of hot water. Very clean. Large TV and good internet connection. Ample free parking. Breakfast was modest but fresh. No complaints. Will come again.

Two observations, not complaints: I) There is no fridge or tea/coffee making facilities in the room. There is a drinks fridge in the reception. II) Checking closes at 18:00 (in the winter). They have a key box for later arrivals.

Clean & comfortable, large spacious room

We are cycling to Budapest, so this was our stop over hotel at the start of our ride. We left our car here for 12 nights in total (7 days cycling, with sightseeing time in 3 capitals). 1 night was free parking (included with the overnight accommodation), and we paid €3 per night for the other 11 nights. The hotel was clean, smart, and easy to find. The staff were friendly, helpful, and respectful, and spoke good English. The room was excellent, clean, and spacious - it was separate to the main hotel, but next to it. Breakfast was good, and a reasonable additional price. The long-term parking looks great. I was concerned about possible flooding from the river while we were cycling (Passau has flooded in June previously, the latest in 2024), but the hotel and long stay car park are built on the slope of a mini hill, so the car park is above the height of the hotel - perfect! The parking is used by cyclists and cruisers alike. It is well out the way, and I have no concerns about security. Breakfast was good. The hotel is very close to the Danube cycle path on the south bank. We cycled the north bank, but it was a short distance back into Passau to cross over.

My wife is gluten-free, and there were no gluten-free bread options. However, we only told them less than 24 hours before arrival on a bank holiday weekend, so they had very little time. There were plenty of choices of other breakfast food items my wife had, so it wasn't a problem..
