Pros +
- Loved the spa, breakfast was a typical Bavarian breakfast but made eggs and bacon to order (if wanted/requested) and the staff was very accommodating.
- Beautiful view of the mountains, the green space was very nice
- The view was outstanding! And loved the amenities for the kids and whole family. Great spa area and pool and places to play. Breakfast was great. Free parking was nice.
Cons -
- The restaurant’s dinner quality was so-so for the pricing. It did the job after the long journey, but compared to outside restaurants it left much to be desired.
- The carpet and furnishings in the room were old and for the price they charge should be updated. Most of the staff are very gracious and very nice. Sadly the woman at the checkout with dyed reddish hair and tattoos was unbelievable nasty. I asked about the charges that I was being asked to pay for and she threatened to call the police!! I had prepaid the room for 4 days. This was just the charges for city taxes which I thought were covered according to booking. I of course paid the fees, but not without this insult and headache. Yup I am a Black person. This lady should be fired, she had a very poor attitude and was so trashy!
- Dining area and lots of rooms could be pretty stuffy. Very old furniture. The pool closes at 8. Very strict on dinner requiring reservations and also ended fairly early, at 8. Overall not super flexible. It was also pretty expensive.

This is a lovely place right at the bottom of the alps. The staff is extremely helpful and kind. Both the receptionists and the breakfast staff was excellent. I will come back
Nice location! Great view!
The hotel is extremely old and has not done any renovations!Breakfast very simple, when you are in Bavaria you expect some traditional Bavarian food like Brezel or white sausage!
Great view from the room. friendly staff. delicious restaurant.
Center of town Free parking Nice front staff to help A variety of breakfast items
I arrived before the room was ready but the stuff let me take a shower and leave my luggage there. You get a free travel card for the train up to the lake and also the stuff told me everything there is to visit. The room was perfect, spacious enough for one person. The breakfast was delicious.
In the night the hotel is not lighten enough, there’s only a tiny light on the hallways and one at the reception, nothing in the restaurant nor in the garden. I get that the restaurant and the pool is closed but with no light is pretty creepy. I wanted to go out in the garden to watch the perseids meteor shower but couldn’t find the exit/ didn’t know if i’m allowed to go out. The reception is closed after 9 so I couldn’t ask anyone. I feel like the reception should be opened until 10, especially in the summer. The downsides are just a suggestion and small details,not relevant for everyone, but the rest was amazing.
Friendly staff and mesmerising view from the window. OK location even if travelling by public transport - everything in walking distance.
In my room I didn’t have shower towel, just one for hands. And restaurant was poor.
The location, service and the beautiful hotel including all areas and that everything is family friendly.
There was a beautiful stream flowing through the courtyard, and although the water was very cold, the children enjoyed playing in it. There was also a playground for kids and a large pool facility near the hotel, making it a great location for families with children.
This very charming hotel was exactly the Bavarian fantasy! Everything you need for a city break to explore this part of the alps. Food at the restaurant was delicious and in inhouse sauna makes for a comfortable way to unwind after exploring the eibsee or hiking.
Not much to say here except that some servives offered in the directory (pickup at the station for instance) was unavailable when requested. I also think a coffee and tea station in the room would be a great addition.
Their garden and the stream running though was ideal for kids to play around and for parents to relax.. excellent breakfast..
Amazing Mountain View’s and friendly staff.
I liked the restaurant, very traditional German fare and lovely entertainment but the kids weren’t so enamoured with the choices available. Breakfast was fantastic for all.
Very beautiful alpine hotel, nice wellness included, lovely staff and very good food. The nearby lake Eibsee is just stunning. Perfect stay!
Amazing location and super nice terras!
They started cleaning and vacuum the empty rooms at 8 in the morning would be nice to do that a bit later so you can sleep in.
The staff was very friendly and helpful. The view is spectacular! The grounds were beautiful. The room was spacious and comfortable. The spa was great! The breakfast was excellent every morning with the table all set with our name placement card. We had dinner one night in the hotel restaurant and the food was delicious! The location was super especially for getting to the Zugspitze cable car and for enjoying all the trails in the area. The local town area was quaint, within walking distance, and had a great Italian Pizzaria and ice cream shop. We enjoyed afternoon and evening beverages on the outside patio looking up at the gorgeous Alps.
Our room didn't have a balcony but rather opened up to the roof. At first we were disappointed because we didnt have the balcony with the flower boxes but we found we could just move our chairs to the rooftop and could enjoy the view with more space. Also they didn't mention the guest card on our first day which allows one to use the train between Garmisch and Grainau and to Eibsee for free. So make sure you ask about this card and the benefits when checking in.
Very complete hotel. There are pool and sauna. Breakfast delicious. Staff very nice. Good location, 10 minutes on foot to the Grainau station, very convenient to go to Eibsee and Zugspitze! Grainau city is so nice and the view is amazing!
Everything was fine.
The hotel is in a nice quiet location up the hill from Garmisch. The breakfast was plentiful with many choices. I particularly like having eggs cooked to order every morning. It's so much better than the scrambled eggs that have been sitting forever. A very nice touch were the name tags on the tables for each meal. You always knew where you're table was. The staff was great and the view from the balcony was wonderful.
It was unfortunate that there was no lunch available, but there are plenty of restaurants nearby
it was near to the marriage proposal location I have planned, Eibsee :)
breakfast starts late for people who plans to start hiking to Zugspitze.
