“Mostly good but rooms looking shabby and dated”

The hotel is an older alpine lodge type place. Reception is of the more traditional kind, a large desk, all kinds of things behind the desk, ask for something they probably have it back there.

The hotel is an older alpine lodge type place. Reception is of the more traditional kind, a large desk, all kinds of things behind the desk, ask for something they probably have it back there. Even the keys on the huge fobs that you have to hand in each time as you leave. Check in was efficient, and we were shown to our rooms, at the other end checkout was also efficient. English is well spoken here and staff are pleasant and understanding. Rooms: the rooms were large, well lit and reasonably furnished, if somewhat shabbily. There was a bed, chair, desk, plenty of drawers and hangers, mirror, fridge, tv, and a couple of the rooms had balconies. The rooms had safes but 2 did not work, so beware and check first before you deposit anything in them. Carpet in all the rooms needs replacing. This was probably the main reason for the shabby look. Otherwise bed was comfortable, nice windows that worked well. No tea or coffee making facilities, some was occasionally available in the lounge downstairs. You got a free bottle of fizzy water on arrival, but this was removed if you did not drink it all the first night. The fridge was stocked with mini bar items Wifi was good, plenty of electric points for charging although some in awkward places. Bathrooms were all fairly recently renovated and modern. Walk in shower was standard, large sink areas, hairdryer, makeup and standard mirror. Everything here looked smart and updated. We had breakfast here every morning, it was nice, the attending staff were very nice and there was a good variety of continental items: cereal, breads, pastries, cheese and cold meats, plus scrambled and hard boiled eggs and some kind of sausage, fruits and yoghurts. Otherwise there is a very nice cafe just next door ( in the direction of the town hall square) , they do nice lunch and breakfast. Parking: there is a smallish underground parking garage, just to the side of the hotel, you have to be buzzed it, and it is an interesting adventure finding your way through the hotel form this garage! There is a bar open in the evening ( did not use) a pool area ( also did not use) and the lounge is a nice place to relax in, there is a coffee machine here that is free. Lots of restaurants in the area, the train station is close and shops are a short walk. Overall a pleasant stay, would stay again but would hope the carpets were gone!

“Very nice mix of old and modern”

Stayed here as part of a group tour going to the Oberammergau passion play. The hotel is about a half hour drive from Oberammergau itself. The hotel at first seemed quite old fashioned with lots of wood and patterned carpets and a very rickety single lift. However the hotel is actually a very nice mix of old and modern. With a very nice seating area in the reception area and a nice bar area. Our room was on the 2nd floor, we did manage to squeeze 3 people into the tiny rickety lift, but it wasn’t easy. The only plus was at least the lift was fast. The room was nice with a separate seating area, the beds initially seemed soft, but actually were comfortable, the storage was good and there was a decent flat screen TV. There was also a safe, which I couldn’t initially get to work as there were no instructions, however I asked at reception for help and they sent housekeeping very quickly to show me how it worked. They also sent someone to change the pillows which were far too soft. The bathroom/shower room was very nice, obviously recently upgraded, it was very clean and modern with nice toiletries and bathrobes were included. We had a very nice balcony which would be nice to sit out on, unfortunately we had no time (or energy) to do this. The restaurant is on the ground floor, with a nice selection on the menu which we enjoyed. The staff were lovely very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was served in the conservatory area, which was frankly cold as breakfast was early and the windows were open as was the door. Breakfast was continental with some hot food, scrambled egg and one other hot side. The reason I’ve given 4 stars instead of 5 is there was no air conditioning in our room, the room was very hot, we left the window open of course, but that just let more hot air in, also the lift really was poor and breakfast was really quite chilly with windows and door open in the early morning.

“No ice, no internet.”

This is a beautiful hotel, and the pool is lovely - it's unusual to find a pool in this area. The restaurant is absolutely perfect.

This is a beautiful hotel, and the pool is lovely - it's unusual to find a pool in this area. The restaurant is absolutely perfect. However, for a hotel of this quality and expense, I would expect to be able to have internet (the service was absolutely terrible and was down more often than functioning) and to receive ice upon asking, especially in 100 degree weather. My husband was literally told "there's no chance of that happening" when he called the desk to ask if he could get ice to add to our insulated water bottles for walking around the city.
