We have stayed at the Bayerischer Hof several times the night before departing Germany. It has never disappointed us. It is a town hotel -- right on the main drag, surrounded by shops in a pedestrian-friendly area. So, in that sense, it is traditional. The staff is very friendly. The rooms are well appointed and quiet. Until quite recently, the Hof had a fine restaurant. They are now searching for a chef and I hope that they get this straightened out soon. Meanwhile the staff made reservations for us at a good restaurant nearby. Its a very fine place.
