Hotel Gäubodenhof in Straubing can host seminars, training days and meetings for up to about 100 people, as well as group dinners and private celebrations in its restaurant. The family-run hotel stands on Theresienplatz in the center of the Bavarian town of Straubing, in the Gäuboden farming region on the Danube.
Seminars and company events
Three rooms are offered for meetings, training sessions and seminars. The Bürgerstüberl takes up to about 30 people. The seminar room takes up to about 35. The Saal, the hall, takes up to about 100 and suits a larger conference, a company meeting or a presentation in front of an audience. The hotel provides the technology on request: pinboard, flipchart, projector, overhead projector, screen, lectern and WLAN.
The hotel sells ready-made meeting packages. Two half-day packages, named Bräuherr and Gäuboden, include the room, a writing set with pad and pen, standard meeting technology, mineral water, a coffee break with snacks and fruit, and a three-course lunch with a choice of two main courses. The Gäuboden package adds juices to the water. The full-day package, named Straubing, has the same base and adds a second coffee break with sweet snacks in the afternoon. The hotel also writes an individual offer when the packages do not fit.
Weddings and receptions
The official site presents the house for family gatherings, club evenings, group trips and Christmas parties. Weddings are not named on the pages we read, so an organizer planning one should ask the hotel directly whether the Saal can be booked for it.
Rooms and capacities
The meeting rooms hold about 30 (Bürgerstüberl), about 35 (seminar room) and about 100 (Saal). The restaurant is listed with 120 seats and the Gaststube, the traditional guest room, with 90. Which of these rooms can be reserved for a closed group depends on the date, so confirm it with the team when you send a request.
Accommodation
The hotel offers comfort rooms and its own parking spaces. The official pages do not state how many bedrooms the house has. Ask for the number if your group needs to stay overnight together.
Catering
The kitchen serves regional Bavarian dishes alongside international ones, with cold and warm service throughout the day. For groups, the site mentions a Bavarian buffet, a Schweinshaxe dinner, a Weisswurst breakfast and a large breakfast buffet. Menu suggestions and drinks lists can be downloaded from the site. Evenings with folk music, live music or karaoke can be arranged.
