Hotel Garmischer Hof, Garmisch-Partenkirchen

First stayed here in 1983 and returned October 2007 with family members.Everything was as good as remembered especially "owners!".New rooms added but basically the same warm friendly atmosphere as all those years earlier.A must return soon too hotel in a great location.Garmisch itself is lovely and we were lucky enough to experience 4 seasons in 8 days.Superb views from bedrooms and would recommend to people who love family style hotels with a very good breakfast buffet.Roll on October 2010 when I hope to return.

If you're lucky enough to stay here get a room with a view out the back over the parking lot. Sound strange? Well, the parking lot sits framed beneath the most beautiful view of the alps going. I woke up at 6:55 on a Sunday morning and was treated to a concert of church bells pealing, echoing off the mountains while I sat on my balcony drinking coffee, just blown away by the views. Leave a wake-up call!! Worth the price right there! Nice staff, and very helpful. Breakfast was very good. A real old-style hotel. We're going back this spring.

Very pokey room with small double bed. Almost no lighting in bathroom. Couldn't stand up straight in shower due to sloping roof. No soap/shampoo/conditioner provided. Only liquid soap in shower. Noise from other rooms/corridors. Some quite surly staff members (poor English) but manager was okay. Great deal of smoke filtering up to our room from the bar/restaurant area causing sleep problems. Cannot figure out why this is a 3 star hotel - more like a pension but even the bathrooms are better in a pension. Ripped off 47Euro each for the most boring Christmas Eve dinner in history (5 hours!!!)
