The welcome at check in at the Xander is great! It was our pleasure to be met by Andrea who provided lots of extra information about the Leutasch valley. Our spacious room was really clean, comfortable and quiet. It was kept spotless during our visit by a very professional cleaning team. The swimming pool and sauna area in the basement was really convenient. I managed a swim twice every day! Hotel breakfasts were a real highlight. The choice available at the buffet was extensive and the food was very fresh. In addition, the kitchen would prepare freshly cooked eggs on request. We enjoyed our dinners too. There is always a choice of meat, fish and vegetarian dishes so as non meat eaters, we felt we always had good options. Only one of the vegetarian dishes didn’t work for us. Artichoke hearts in Parmesan sauce is really more suitable as a starter. Having eaten it, I was still hungry! However, the Gala Dinner really made up for that. It was magnificent. Additionally, and at no extra charge, there’s a very informal buffet provided for residents between 1.00 pm and 3.00 pm. It includes soup, salad, cakes (including doughnuts!) and coffee. This effectively means that Half Board becomes Full Board. A real bonus. The team of young waiting staff are GREAT. They are attentive, courteous and very professional. Nothing is too much trouble and they all have a great memory for the things you like. If you want to go cross country skiing, the location of the Xander is hard to beat. Right in the middle of the valley, it offers easy access to the whole ski area. This is really helpful if you only want to ski for a few hours. The buses, giving access to the whole ski area plus Seefeld and Mittenwald, stop right outside. If you don’t bring your own car, the included bus ticket is really useful. If you show your reservation to the bus driver, you can get free travel from Seefeld even before you arrive! If you’re travelling via Mittenwald, you just pay €1.30 to get from Mittenwald station to the border. We had to leave quite early so we took a taxi back to Mittenwald. At just over €28 this was good value too. Taxi Schütz are based in Mittenwald but will happily come to collect you. As a bonus, I had an enjoyable chat about Scotch Whisky with the friendly driver! Checking out was not quite as smooth as checking in. Actually, it took three attempts before they were ready to take our money! However, this didn’t detract from our lovely holiday at the wonderful Xander.

“A great experience”

The late check-in experience was good. The rooms were expansive, clean and the beds were comfortable. The king bed was actually two doubles. :-( The breakfast looked great; not for 17 Euro per person.
