Lovely service from the check-in to the hotel restaurant. Everyone was so kind. I ordered the game entree with spatzle. Only stayed one night but would have loved to have tried their fish dinners as well.

Spectacular location right at the Kochelsee, overlooking the lake, with a nice terrace for a cool beer or outdoors dining, and stylish restaurant and common areas with lots of decorum, reminiscing of times past when travel in luxury was the thing. I would love to give 5 stars, but my just below the roof room with lots of stairs and no elevator requires a little impact. 4 ½ would have been fairest. For fellow travelers : there are only 2 such rooms, so you may be lucky.

A very pleasant room in an old period building full of character. The room was clean, welll maintained and very comfortable. The area is very beautiful and alive with wildlife. The restaurant served an excellent dinner and breakfast. In conclusion this is a lovely place to be if you like the countryside and the beautiful lake.

The wifi service was horrible. Hotel staff friendliness was okay. Not much English spoken at all. Cleanliness was okay. No amenities in room or hotel. "Mountain" view was lackluster and oversold.

Lovely hotel next to Kochel see. .

We booked this hotel for its proximity to the Franz Marc Museum. It's a lovely hotel, and you can swim in the lake from steps down from the hotel's wellness centre. We also visited the Walchensee Museum which has over 300 drawings by Corinth and other less well known but excellent women artists. We ate twice in the restaurant which had a great menu with regional dishes - including fish from the lake.

Nice hotel, but plan ahead

2 hours before we left the States, our flight was cancelled. I immediately contacted the hotel to change our reservation, as we would be arriving a day later. The hotel explained that we would have to take a different price room as that was the only one available. I agreed, assuming we would get the other room cancelled. When we returned Stateside, the hotel charged us for both rooms. and refused to consider a refund, even though we had no control over the situation. The food, rooms and service were excellent, but the poor customer relations that the hotel showed toward International travellers gets it 1 rating. If you want to stay there, book it after you arrive in country and save yourself some money.

Disappointed in our basement room

I booked a "Double Room, Lakeside" that was described as having a balcony with lake views. We were shown to a room in basement that walked out to a small patio that looked at a hedge and what may have been a private dining area. We could, technically, glimpse the lake from the patio. If I had known there was even a REMOTE possibility that we'd have a room in a basement, I NEVER would have booked this hotel. Oh, and if that wasn't enough, I couldn't spend more than 3 minutes in the bathroom without stuffing up. Given that there weren't a lot of grass & trees in the bathroom, there must have been mould or something in there to cause the allergic reaction. It smelled incredibly musty, too. Also, we could only get a signal for the WiFi in one half of our room. And of the three codes we were given to access WiFi, only two worked.

Good bang for the buck!

Great location off the beaten track, but still reasonably close to the autobahn and Garmisch. The breakfast buffet was one of the better ones (selection) that I've seen in Europe and the evening meal (venison) was outstanding!

Could do better, appropriate to stay one night

Rooms are quite basic. We had booked our room in advance and were guided to a small dark room under the roof. The hotel was pretty empty but they did not give us another room, at lower level. Staff was friendly but rather inflexible.

Loved it!

Wonderful place for a short getaway. Easy to access and lots to do in the area. They had a rowboat to loan out on the lake. Service was exemplary - food at the restaurant was great. Room could have had fewer cobwebs, but with the older building and high ceilings understandable - has been renovated, and I would certainly recommend this to anyone looking for a quick trip to southern Germany!

The last day we had to leave early so I excused myself for not cpming for breakfast. Right away we were offered a meal that awaited us bright and early! HIGHLY RECOMENDED!Bathroom could be a bit more accomodating Beds are outstandingly comfortable.
