The Property — Bayerischer Löwe
A solid three-star with genuine Bavarian character: dark-wood furniture, stucco ceilings and a small bar that smells of fresh pretzels. It suits independent travellers or couples who want a clean, central base with honest comfort rather than design flourishes. The lobby feels like a well-kept 1960s pension that’s been quietly modernised—friendly front desk, fresh daily papers on a side table, stairwells still echo with old-city quiet.
Chronicles of Augsburg
Augsburg was founded as a Roman garrison in 15 BC and grew rich in the Middle Ages as the headquarters of the Fugger banking dynasty. Its Renaissance-era Town Hall and Perlachturm tower dominate the Rathausplatz, while the Fuggerei—the world’s oldest social housing complex—still rents apartments for under one euro a year. Bombing in 1944 destroyed much of the medieval core, but the Rathaus and cathedral were rebuilt. Today it’s a working city of 300,000 with a strong theatre scene, a respected university and a cameo in Bertolt Brecht’s biography.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Bayerischer Löwe, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the 3rd or 4th floor facing the inner courtyard. These floors are above street level and the courtyard side minimises traffic noise from Linke Brandstraße. If available, a south-facing window gives a glimpse of Augsburg’s old town rooftops.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the ground floor (street-level noise and less privacy) and any room facing directly onto Linke Brandstraße, especially on floors 1–2 where you’ll hear buses and delivery vans from the nearby industrial estate. Also skip rooms near the lift shaft or stairwell on any floor — guest traffic can be audible.
Best views
A room on floor 4 or 5 facing east or south gives a partial view of Augsburg’s old town skyline, including the Perlach Tower and St. Ulrich’s spire. The north side overlooks the mixed-use area of Linke Brandstraße – less scenic but still open.
Quietest floors
Floors 3, 4, and 5 are generally quietest at this hotel, as they’re above the reception and public areas, and the lift rarely gets heavy use past floor 2.
🔊 Noise notes
Linke Brandstraße is a secondary road in a mixed residential/light-industrial area. You’ll get some delivery truck noise from 6–7am, especially on weekdays. The hotel’s bar or restaurant (if present) can be audible on ground/first floors until around 11pm. Ask for a courtyard-facing room to cut street noise by about 70%.
Insider tips
1. If you’re arriving by car, ask reception about free street parking permits for the nearby blue zones – it’s cheaper than the hotel’s own garage. 2. Request a room on floor 3 or 4 opposite the lift – quieter and with the best balance of light and air. 3. The lift stops at all floors but can be slow at peak times; stairs are faster for floors 1–3.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available

Top Attractions in Augsburg
💡 The Fugger Chapel is a hidden masterpiece — check the opening times as it’s only accessible during guided tours (free with church entry, usually 11am and 2pm Sat). The cloister garden is a peaceful spot rarely visited.
💡 The cloister opens via a side door off the main church – easy to miss. Look for the tiny plaque marking Luther's room. The organ is often played during lunchtime (12:30-13:00) on Saturdays.
💡 Pair with the main puppet theatre show (tickets from €12) — the museum explains the craft, then you see it live. The museum is kid-friendly but not overwhelming.
💡 Go on a weekday morning (10-12) to avoid tour groups. The main staircase itself is worth the climb. No photography with flash allowed inside the hall.
💡 Visit early morning around 8am before the shops open – you get the square nearly empty. The fountain's four statues represent Augsburg's rivers: Lech, Wertach, Singold, and Brunnenbach.
💡 The Japanese garden has a small teahouse that opens for ceremonies on Sundays (check schedule). The herb garden is great for picnics — but bring your own blanket. Arrive early to avoid crowds on weekends.
💡 Free entry applies only to the outdoor gardens. The greenhouses cost 3 euros but are worth it for the tropical section. Best in May-June when roses bloom.
💡 Visit the bomb shelter bunker turned museum — it’s small but gives a stark look at WWII in Augsburg. Go early morning to avoid tour groups.
