Passau, at the meeting point of three rivers on the German-Austrian border, is a truly unmissable destination for those who want to relax in a unique historic setting, rich in Hungarian heritage. The Hotel Restaurant Dreiflüssehof is the perfect place to stay, where the quiet surroundings and traditional Bavarian hospitality make it an ideal base for exploring the city.
Passau, the city of the three rivers – where the Inn, the Danube and the Ilz meet – is a charming town to explore in the south-eastern corner of Germany, on the border between Bavaria and Austria. Its historic old town, cobbled streets, baroque buildings and impressive St Stephen’s Cathedral make it an ideal destination for those looking for cultural experiences and relaxed walks.
The picturesque panorama and the variety of activities – from boat trips to museums – are a must for visitors who want to discover the Bavarian countryside and the beauty of neighbouring Austria or the Bavarian Forest in a classic travelling experience.
The Hotel Restaurant Dreiflüssehof offers quiet and peaceful accommodation in a unique setting in Passau, with easy and convenient access to the Old Town. This location is one of the hotel’s greatest advantages: while guaranteeing comfortable accommodation, it also allows you to quickly exit the building and reach the historic heart of Passau. A particular advantage is that parking is free in front of the hotel and in the underground car park, which in itself is a saving compared to hotels in the city centre. Not to mention that by car, you can reach the historic city centre in 5 minutes, and from the nearby bus stop, it takes just 7 minutes to get to the city centre, avoiding the weekday peaks and parking hassles of driving.
The Hotel Restaurant Dreiflüssehof promises classic four-star comfort: the furniture is cosy, timeless pieces that create a nostalgic turn-of-the-millennium atmosphere. Reminiscent of the days before mass tourism, when travelling was not about quick selfies but about meaningful explorations of the world’s treasures. The rooms are accordingly spacious and extremely clean, with wide beds to ensure a restful night’s sleep, giving travellers the comforts of home. And while the large flat-screen TV brings the modern world close, a charming touch of old-fashioned charm is the ability to press a switch in the spacious bathroom to select from German radio stations while getting ready in the morning.
The hotel creates the atmosphere of a classic inn, with the restaurant on the ground floor a combination of a Bavarian beer bar and, under the conservatory, an elegant restaurant. And when summer arrives, you can indulge in Bavarian gastronomic delights on the outdoor terrace or under the glass terrace of the conservatory. Because here, you can taste excellent specialities that reflect the flavours of Bavarian cuisine, such as succulent pork roasts or the inevitable white sausage (Weißwurst), accompanied by excellent Bavarian beers. And breakfast is rich and varied, with delicacies from local producers – fresh pastries, cheeses, sausages, fruit and yoghurt – while those with a sweet tooth can indulge in pastries from the early hours. All this is complemented by Bavarian pretzels, which, with a traditional Bavarian breakfast, promise a truly authentic start to your exploration of Passau.
