Block Hotel & Living

Staying at the Block Hotel in Ingolstadt was a phenomenal experience. The architecture is stunning - a remarkable fusion of modern design and traditional Bavarian elements. The attention to detail is mind-blowing! Inside, the service was spotless; the staff were attentive, friendly, and always willing to help. The hotel's breakfast buffet – a plethora of delicious, locally sourced food that catered to all tastes. I have to mention the freshness of the pastries and the richness of the brewed coffee - truly the best way to start the day. I wholeheartedly recommend the Block Hotel to all types of travelers!"

I spent one night here on my way from North Germany to Italy. It is just a few hundred meters from the highway. I make the trip often and have tried many different hotels and motels along the route. Although Block was slightly (but only slightly) more than I usually spend, it was most definitely worth it. The (standard double) room, while not vast, was certainly not cramped. And the room layout was extremely well thought-out, unlike many places where, when you sit at the desk, you can feel the bed pressing into your back, or you have to squeeze sideways to get past the wardrobe. Here, you could move around freely. The bathroom was also roomy, with a large walk-in shower. The room has a mini-bar (which I didn't use) and a coffee maker (which I did). The common spaces are also nicely appointed and well thought out in terms of flow. There is a large garden terrace and a smaller terrace off the breakfast room. As I am covid-cautious, I sat and ate outside, which was not a problem. The only drawback is that there is no restaurant in the hotel. But they provide you with a list of nearby places to eat. Or you can opt for what they called " bar snacks", either pizza or a salad. I had the salad, which was the size of a main course and tasted good. The bar has a nice selection of wines. As compensation for no evening restaurant, the breakfast was killer. A vast variety of hot foods, both sweet and savory, and good quality cold cuts and juices. (And, yes, a muesli bar, which I saw out of the corner of my eye ;-)) Both the common spaces and the room/bathroom were spotless and seemed well-maintained. All the personnel, from reception to bartender, were friendly and professional. As others have mentioned, you can hear the highway a bit in the outdoor spaces and if you open the window in your room. So if you are highly noise-sensitive, probably not the place for you. Otherwise, I recommend it.

Driving back from our holiday in Bavaria at the end of of last August we broke down in the middle of nowhere. Left to our own devices our breakdown cover said we could book our own hotel and we would be reimbursed. Like some sort of modern miracle we were close to Hotel Block. It was AMAZING!!! The staff were so very kind especially as we arrived so dishevelled and a bit fed up . The rooms were amazing and even accommodated a last minute request for adjoining rooms. One of us even had a mini putting green in the room! The breakfast is the best we have ever seen. Anything you could imagine wanting for breakfast was there. The drinks and snacks in the lounge we still talk about. Hands down the best vodka martini I have ever had and the presentation of the tea was outstanding- even included a timer for perfect brew. Spa facilities were incredible even with though I forgot to expect willies and ladygardens ahoy (being typical British I was in a bathing suit). Staff went above and beyond even so far as contacting us when they found a toy we’d left and arranged delivery back to our home in the Uk. Can not recommend Hotel Block enough!
