The Property — Hotel Maximilian's
Hotel Maximilian’s is a no-frills 3-star in Augsburg’s old town, with a clean, modern lobby that smells of coffee and fresh linen. It’s housed in a renovated 19th-century building, so you get high ceilings and a central location without the polished charm of a boutique property. The USP is value: a reliable, quiet base for budget-conscious travellers who prioritise walking distance to the Rathaus and Fuggerei over design flourishes. You’ll suit this place if you’re after a decent night’s sleep and a good breakfast, not Instagram moments.
Chronicles of Augsburg
Augsburg was founded as a Roman colony in 15 BC, named Augusta Vindelicorum, and later became a free imperial city and banking powerhouse during the Renaissance. Its wealth was bankrolled by the Fugger family, who built Europe’s oldest social housing complex, the Fuggerei, in 1521. The city wears its history visibly: Roman walls, Gothic cathedrals, and the Renaissance town hall. Today Augsburg is a quiet, green university city with a strong identity in engineering (think MAN and Siemens) and a lively but manageable cultural scene.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Hotel Maximilian's, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the fourth or fifth floor facing the inner courtyard. These upper floors minimise street noise from Maximilianstraße, a busy pedestrianised shopping street, and the courtyard side is significantly quieter than the front.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid rooms on the first or second floor facing Maximilianstraße. Street-level cafés and pedestrian traffic generate noise until late evening; lower floors get the brunt of it.
Best views
Rooms overlooking Maximilianstraße give you a live view of Augsburg’s main historic promenade—Renaissance façades, fountains, and tramlines. Worth it if you don't mind some noise; upper floors improve the panorama.
Quietest floors
Floors 4 and 5 are the quietest—further from street activity and above the general bustle of the lobby and ground-floor bar.
🔊 Noise notes
Maximilianstraße is a pedestrian zone by day but has deliveries early morning (around 6-7am). Tram lines run parallel to the street a block away—audible but not intrusive on courtyard sides. Weekend evenings see bar crowds spilling onto the street.
Insider tips
1. Request a room on the 4th floor courtyard side when booking—it’s the quietest configuration. 2. Street parking is limited; use the public garage at City-Galerie (5 mins walk) and ask reception for a discount sticker.
- 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

Money & Currency
Get a travel card →Euro, EUR
Use ATMs (Geldautomaten) at banks like Sparkasse or Deutsche Bank for the best rates; avoid exchange bureaux at airports or main train stations as they charge high fees and poor rates.
Visa/Mastercard contactless is widely accepted in supermarkets, restaurants, and shops; Amex is rarely taken. Mobile pay works in most places, but always carry €20–50 cash for smaller cafes or markets.
Round up the bill in restaurants (5–10% for good service, not mandatory). Tipping taxi drivers €1–2 is polite; leave a small amount for hotel cleaners (€1–2 per night) if you have cash.
Eat, Shop & Travel on a Budget
Cheap car hire →Filterkaffee (filter coffee) from a bakery or café costs about €1.50–2.50; standing at the counter is cheaper than sitting down.
A daily-changing Mittagstisch (lunch special) at a local pub or beer hall costs around €8–11, typically a hearty meat-and-potato dish or a schnitzel with salad.
An affordable main course like a brezen (pretzel) with a soup or a Bratwurst with potato salad at a biergarten is €9–13.
Döner kebab stands and currywurst booths are common near the city hall and the central station area, charging €5–7 for a filling meal.
Aldi, Lidl, and Netto are the main budget supermarket chains; all are within walking distance in Augsburg's city centre.
Primark and C&A on the Annastraße pedestrian zone offer affordable basics; the August-Austraße has discount chains like KiK and Takko.
A single tram/bus ticket (€2.80) is fine for short hops; the best value is a 24-hour group ticket (€10.20) for up to 5 people. From Munich Airport, take the Lufthansa Express Bus (€21 single) or a regional train via Munich Hbf.
Eat where locals do – avoid the tourist street around the Rathausplatz; bring a reusable bottle to fill at public fountains (water is safe). Buy a city card (Augsburg Card) if you plan to visit museums – it covers transport and discounts entry.

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.
