Hotel berhampiran Geigenstatue, Mittenwald

At a rate of EUR 220+ per night, we expected a calm, well-maintained, scenic and professional hotel experience. Unfortunately, we found neither. Rooms are equipped with kitchenettes which are unlocked at an extra charge of EUR 30 (we did not opt for this). The (locked-in) old kitchenette fridge kept us awake all of our first night. Staff acknowledged the poor state of this equipment and admitted several guests had complained about this noise before us. Thankfully they turned the fridge off for our second night. But why was this on in the first place when we had not booked the kitchenette extra? We came for Alp calm - not noise of an old fridge we did not even have access to. Hotel facilities were old - all of it - all dated from when constructed (early or mid 70s?). Wall-to-wall carpets in room. Our roomed smelled of old cigarette smoke. We were tempted by beautiful looking photos of the hotel where balconies had unspoiled views of the Alps. Unfortunately our room was dark and had no view whatsoever - expect for a few trees and a railway track that had trains spoiling the tranquility we came for. Website photos for not live up to expectations! Waiters repeatedly did not take our requests seriously, whether we asked for frites to be replaced by potatoes, chicken to be added to our the vegetarian dish (waiter shrugged this request off, before eventually accepting for an extra charge), or forgetting to prop up our breakfast table (no butter on day one, no yoghurt on day two - all paid for). English skills also questionable. Aargh - for this price we expected so much more - this was unfortunately a disappointing stay for us. This is a pity because the hotel location is good and the place has some good potential if owners would only pay to maintain the place.

Terrible experience. Dated, old, uncomfortable mattress, no full set of bedsheets, noisy, hot and an incessant blinking security light over the parking lot that kept me up for three nights. Insult to injury, front desk clerk threatened an early departure payment fee of all remaining days when there’s not such policy anywhere on the hotel’s website. Fortunately, between my employer and credit card company, they put the good clerk in his rightful place and I departed a few days early without any additional fees.

Ich bin spät angekommen und musste früh wieder los. Und das war ehrlich gesagt gut so. Weil der Aufenthalt war alles andere als angenehm. Mein Zimmer war in die Jahre gekommen und lag mit dem Fenster direkt an der Hauptstraße. Im Sommer bei geöffnetem Fenster ein zweifelhaftes Vergnügen, wenn die LKW im Berufsverkehr vorbeidonnern. Der Obstsalat beim Frühstück hatte schon angefangen zu gären - und überhaupt hatte das Büffet wie die ganze Erscheinung des Hotels mit zeitgemäßem Tourismus so überhaupt nichts zu tun. Die Bitte, mein Fahrrad für zwei Minuten in den Windfang zu stellen, wurde leider von der Rezeption abgelehnt, weshalb ich um den Block in die Tiefgarage zum Auto musste, um ein Schloss zu holen. Und wieder zurück, was dann überflüssigerweise zehn Minuten gedauert hat. Immerhin: die Rezeption war 24 Stunden besetzt, eine späte Anreise unkompliziert, auch wenn die Kommunikation in punkto Sprache eher schwierig war. Kurzum: In einer Pension für nen Fuffie die Nacht wär's mir egal gewesen. Aber für 150 Euro hab ich selten ein so schlechtes Preis-Leistungs-Verhältnis erlebt

We found this hotel simply by searching „best hotel with SPA in the Alps“ and it showed up in multiple rankings. For a long weekend it seemed perfect, and almost perfect it was: Professional, warm, welcoming staff all along. Every single interaction, from the check-in to the restaurant, the bar, everywhere, we could experience authentic, nice and hospital staff. That part could not be better. And the meals…to die for. Amazing breakfast buffets, great snack mid afternoon, and the the 5-course dinner have set new benchmarks in my book. We loved the gym and the SPA. The pool is not huge, yet there is plenty of space, and the saunas and steambaths are in excellent shape. The whole hotel and everything around it feels new, modern, clean, yet with that Austrian/Alpine touch. The room have a decent size, all come with a balcony from which one can admire the beautiful surroundings. So, where is the „issue“? The hotel is just next to a quite busy road with fast traffic. Somehow the experience could have been totally perfect if one could sleep with open windows (it was warm) or if laying on a sunset in the garden it would be „mountain quiet“. But it was not, you clearly hear the traffic all the time. Without this acoustics disturbance this hotel, its staff, its service offering, its infrastructure, would deserve top votes in every regards. May be there is a way to build sound barriers like in many other places, and hide them behind bushes or small trees?

Biliknya sangat sederhana, dan rumah penduduk sensitif secara visual. Penyaman udara sangat buruk, ia sering mati secara automatik, dan bangun beberapa kali semasa tidur. Permukaan lantai kayu kelihatan sama. Saya memakai stoking dan berjalan-jalan. Stoking menjadi sangat kotor. Dianggarkan bahawa pembersih hanya mengosongkan dan tidak mengepel lantai. Tirai ditarik dengan kuat, dan debu masuk ke mata. Sudah semestinya sudah lama sejak mereka dibersihkan. Terdapat balkoni tetapi privasinya buruk, tidak dihalang, dan dikongsi oleh penduduk di tingkat satu. Terdapat sebuah restoran kurang dari sepuluh meter dari balkoni, dan ada orang yang duduk di luar pada waktu pagi, pada waktu malam, dan menghadap ke sini. Satu-satunya kepuasan ialah persekitaran restoran tidak buruk, tetapi biliknya sangat sederhana sehingga tidak boleh lebih sederhana.

Great location on the outskirts of town but easily walked from the station in the summer/autumn, just be aware of the hike up a steep trail to the entrance - there is an alternative! Food was wonderful - great variety in the buffet breakfast and dinner. Staff were very friendly and helpful; they make you so welcome. At the back of the hotel are trails with fabulous views of Zugspitze and Alpspitze; you can hike the old bob sleigh run, too. We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.
