Hotels near Richard Strauss Brunnen, Garmisch-Partenkirchen

We stayed here for two nights as we drove along the Alpine Route and couldn't have made a better choice, this is a charming Art Nouveau hotel with a lot of its original features intact. Now you will read many reviews that say it needs modernising and re-equipping but if you look beneath the surface you will see what a fine hotel this is. The service from every member of staff goes beyond what you will find in the chain hotels and that includes the youngest girl who waited at breakfast. They have the widest choice of quality tea (probably 20 different ones) that I have ever seen at any hotel that we have stayed at. Breakfast itself was excellent with a good selection of meats, cheeses, yoghurts, fruits etc and the bacon and scrambled egg was cooked to perfection, it's probably the first time in fifty years that I have had traditional bacon with the two little bits of bone in, great memories. The room itself was large and quiet, the bed comfortable and the shower worked well. I agree that some may think the rooms need modernising but we do not come to hotels to spend hours in our room, we tend to rise early and after breakfast we go out until we are ready for bed. There is so much to see and so little time. We did use the sauna on one evening and it was very good and hot 90-100C with room for four or maybe six people at a time but only one other couple used it while we were there. There is a cool relaxation area with four recliners and a couple of chairs but you can also go out into the garden area. We did not use the pool but several others were using it, again you can exit onto the garden. On the Saturday evening we ate at an excellent family restaurant about 100 metres away, unfortunately my wife left her handbag there with our passports in it. We were going back to Munich for a concert the following morning and returning late in the evening, we informed the reception of our problem. On our return at 3.30am Monday morning the night porter had my wife's handbag already for her. If we were passing through here again this is where we would stay without any shadow of doubt.

Horrible experience, in terms of my second day stay and my experience in the restaurant. I was only going to stay in this hotel on Friday, and Saturday Sunday elsewhere. Given the Friday night well spent there and with a nice room, I canceled my original Sunday plan and booked one more night with Aja. I left the hotel then I came back. I was downgraded from 3rd floor inner circle to the 3rd floor street view room, after I complaint about the street noise, the hotel reception downgraded me even more from the 3rd floor to 1st floor a room in front of the construction site. I do not know what else to say, after telling the reception I am a light sleeper, really needed this vacation which I paid and deserve. She still two times, give me bad rooms. In the end I paid extra to upgrade from Mountain View Standard Room type to their Junior Suite type. I paid 50 euros. And after all, even though I am not getting a actual junior suite, I am glad that after all of these troubles I gone through, I finally get to have a room that is quite for my sleep and a place for my vacation :) So you need to know, they do have a very limited number of rooms that are good for an vacation. And you never know which room they will assign you. They have such different tiers and environment for all of their rooms.

The rooms are very simple, and the villagers' houses are visually sensitive. The air conditioner is very poor, it often turns off automatically, and wakes up several times during sleep. The surface of the wooden floor looks the same. I put on my socks and walked around. The socks became very dirty. It is estimated that the cleaners only vacuumed and did not mop the floor. The curtains were pulled vigorously, and the dust got into the eyes. It should have been a long time since they were cleaned. There is a balcony but the privacy is poor, it is not blocked, and it is shared by the residents on the first floor. There is a restaurant less than ten meters from the balcony, and there are people sitting outside in the morning, at night, and facing here. The only satisfaction is that the restaurant environment is not bad, but the rooms are so rudimentary that it can't be more rudimentary.

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.

Amazing week long stay at the Atlas-Grand Hotel. I was here for a conference and they absolutely treated us like treasured guests. The manager and all the staff were friendly and engaging. They met every request with understanding and enthusiasm. The rooms were older but well appointed. Our room was very comfortable (even without air conditioning) with a terrace and beautiful view of the mountains. Breakfast and tea was wonderful in the hotel restaurant. The location is also amazing with walkable hiking and great food. I would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend.

Clean and free water was provided. I also found my lost wallet and the counter staff was so friendly. It was a pity that it leaked a little even if it was watered by the bathtub, but it was only a sense of the bathtub. Recommended

The hotel has an outdoor parking lot, the environment is very good, the breakfast is good, the hotel is very convenient for the Zugspitze on the Aibi Lake (about 15 minutes by car), and the front desk also sells the cable car tickets, very convenient!

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.

The place is like a small village with buildings scattered across a large area. The ground is neglected (camp grounds like) and poorly lit and difficult to navigate in the dark. There is not much of any service offered when checking in. The overall service is not bad but definitely not a good one. When a guest asked during breakfast if he could take just coffee to go, the answer was that it was NOT POSSIBLE. While one could see that the grounds were under some construction, it was very disappointing that the entire place looked neglected and we didn’t see anyone attending to any part of the outdoor. The entrance to our building was covered with a torn outdoor carpet and locations of room numbers were left for us to guess. Our 123 room was one level downstairs, while the room in the entrance was 132, go figure the logics. No A/C in the rooms and it gets pretty hot and sweaty during the night. The rooms are nice and very spacious while the bathroom are very tight and difunctional.The bathtub is deep and elevated, which makes it difficult to get in and out. The place overall is not maneuverability friendly and there is a lot of walking to get to the room. They do not allow you to drive into the grounds for luggage dropping. Breakfast buffet was very nicely stocked while the layout of the buffet was disfunctional although the space is very large. People were stepping over each other in the different food lines while the seating area was large enough to accommodate twice the number of guests. Overall, there is nothing to make this place a “go to place “ but if no other choice. It is not a bad one. I would not recommend the place for any specific attributes.
