We really enjoyed our stay here. Our room was right by the lake and we had an amazing view from our balcony across the mountains. The room itself was a family suite with two bedrooms and a separate living room. It was clean and nicely decorated with lots of space. We had half board and both the breakfast and dinner were good. Both were buffets with plenty of choice. There was always a vegetarian option for dinner and soup, a salad bar and a variety of desserts. The staff were all very friendly. The location of the hotel is stunning. We didn’t have a car and did lots of walking as a result. It’s about 35-40 minutes to walk to a shop in town. You could walk to a train station for the cog wheel train to Zugspitze in about 30 mins. There were also a couple of places to eat within walking distance - near the alpspitz cable car. The lake was surprisingly warm for swimming and hiring paddleboards was very reasonable at 10 euros for 30 mins. Our children enjoyed the giant chess and curling available for free. There was also a selection of board games at reception. All in all we had a great time here and would recommend it for families.

The property is in a rural like setting yet is only minutes away from Partenkirchen. There is a beautiful lake to sit outside and enjoy as well as a walking path around the lake. The breakfast and dinner buffets were huge and had so many choices to eat. The food was very good. There are several lounge areas both inside and outside to sit around and relax. Parking onsite. I would stay here again!

Amazing stay!
Excellent hotel! Chose it primarily because of the surrounding scenery and it did not disappoint. The hotel is suprisingly large and consists of multiple buildings. The staff is super friendly and helpful (despite my poorly spoken German!), the room was very nice & clean, the bed was comfortable, and the breakfast buffet is unsurpassed - food tastes great and there are so many choices! The restaurant (by the lake) is also very good. I would definately choose this place to stay at again if my travels bring me back in this direction. Highly recommended!

This was one of the best hotels we have ever stayed in! It was even more beautiful in person. It's a nice hike down to the town with really nice views along the way. The room was cozy, clean and comfortable with a gorgeous view of the lake. It was so nice waking up in the morning and sitting on the balcony watching the sunrise. The food was delicious as well, with a very nice restaurant. We rented bikes from the hotel to bike around the area.

Hotel is out of town next to a nice lake with lots of hiking opportunities. Room servive was average at best: ran out of shampoo and liquid soap. dirty dishes were left in the room, beach towels were not changed. View out of rooms was spectacular, but we paid for that. Dinner options limited. Dinner buffet not very attractive. Staff only average for $400/night

We loved the size of our family panorama suite, the view of the lake and mountains was absolutely stunning. However, the accommodations are missing basic amenities for active families traveling with children, such as nightlights (all reading lights by the beds were only usable in conjunction with the bright wall lights, not separately unless you unscrew the light bulbs) or dimmers, wall hooks in the bedrooms, a second bathroom with bathtub, outlets by the beds, a line or rack to dry off your bathing suits and wet clothes, a light on the terrace, a tea/coffee maker (we were told to borrow a water kettle from the front desk but it didn't come with cups or tea bags), separate light switches in the living room (there are plenty of lamps but you can only turn on all of them at once or you sit in the dark, no reading light or possibility to dim). We appreciated the fridge in the room but it was tiny and didn't fit most of our bottles There is no AC and the only way to get air is to open the windows which means you're letting a ton of bugs and mosquitoes in, as well. A huge spider in the bedroom seemed to benefit most from that. Another issue were the closings of the lakeside restaurant and spa upon our arrival. The spa didn't reopen until the end of the second day due to maintenance and it appears that there is still construction and limited access in the sauna area. The jets in the jacuzzi didn't work. The limited dining options forced us to drive down to town twice.

The hotel is off the beaten path but that's what makes it quiet and beautifully surrounded by nature. Our room overlooked the lake with mountains beyond! The breakfast was very good and the restaurant at night was excellent--It isn't open full time so we only got to eat there once in our 2 night stay. Parking was in front of our building. Nice for families and lake activities (nothing motorized). Would highly recommend!

Located on a small lake with great views of the Alps this is a special place with a genuine dedication to customer service. It is located close to Garmisch-Partenkirchen so readily accessible to the Zugspitze and other attractions.

Wow wow and wow! This place is amaaaazing!!!! From arriving in our hire car, we just knew this place and it's setting were going to be something special. A beautiful warm welcome from the girls on the front desk. Some complimentary delicious treats were offered to us on arrival! This hotel is very high on class and quality and the setting on the lakeside and amongst an amazing forest you can hike all around. The snowfall made it even more magical. The food was delicious. We ended up just eating at the hotel in the evenings because it was very reasonably priced and nice selection of menus. You can either eat in the main hotel or the seehaus where we had our wonderful room with theost breathtaking views of the mountains. Breakfast was also a highlight every morning. A fine and quality selection of cooked breakfast (bacon, scrambled eggs, fried eggs, hard boiled eggs) Porridge/Bircher/yogurts and all the cheese and meats. This place is amazing value and has a lovely older lady serving in the seehaus. she is a right character! Called me The Schnitzel man because I couldn't get enough of their elite level schnitzel hee. Would stay here again and most certainly will be back. :)
