Gasthaus am Zierwald was very close to our hotel. We had seen it before when walking through town,…read moreand I had read the positive reviews. They don't do this place justice. The complementary starter was a cold mango soup served with a mint leaf garnish, and it was refreshing and delicious. I had "Gebackenes Spinat-Küchlein auf Pfifferlings-Rag oût und glasiertem Gemüse," which was easily one of the best and most creatively put together dishes I have had in a very long time. It was one of at least two vegetarian options for the main course. My dining companion had "Zart geschmorte Kalbsbäckchen in Spätburgunder mit glasiertem Gemüse und Kartoffel-Kräuterstampf," and we shared a green salad. Suffice it to say that every plate was clean by the end of the evening. The server was gracious and patient as we translated the menu and even made suggestions as to which seat would be less windy. As if the food wasn't reason enough to come here, the view of the mountains from the patio is nothing short of awe inspiring. If I'm ever fortunate enough to be back in this area again, I will definitely be revisiting this fine and rare establishment.

Parking was convenient, the location, in relation to the lake and the Zugspitze, was great. The cost was quite reasonable in comparison to other hotels and gasthauses in Germany. But the greatest things about Gasthaus Zierwald were the staff, the room and the food! This place exudes charm - a mix of the old world with a contemporary finish. And CLEAN is a way of life here. The room was not only larger than most, but newly finished in wood by a REAL craftsman. The handmade wood bed was King sized and very comfortable. The bathroom was fantastic - the largest and best we encountered in our travels - no "squeegy" shower here! After a day of sightseeing, there is an upper deck where you could relax with a warm cup of coffee or good German wine and watch the sunset on the Zugspitze. And the food was fantastic - all fresh and well prepared, to be enjoyed in a cozy, warm, but not crowed dining room. The staff were not only polite and efficient, but more than willing to assist you with accommodations, trip planning, local information and fun conversation. I highly recommend Zierwald and we plan a return stay on our next trip to Germany

Edelweiss Lodge & Resort... The best military benefit out there and it's not remotely close…read more We've been to Edelweiss over 10 times when living in Germany (in another life)... This was our first time back since retiring from the AF and it's still the same Bavarian gem. About an hour drive from Munich and situated at the base of the German Alps and within a stones throw of two ski resorts (The Zugspitz & Kreuzek), EL&R has everything for all 4-seasons... Snowboarding/skiing and an array of winter activities, and hiking, biking, camping, and summer activities, this resort really has does have it all. The onsite amenities are great, the service is impeccable, and the location is perfect. If you're looking for an elevated 4-seasons resort at a fraction of the price compared American resorts, EL&R is it... Prost!

The atmosphere was warm friendly and welcoming. The tours and guides were remarkable, they made sure we knew the history of everywhere we went. Our stay was everything we dreamed it to be, all the guests were wonderful and friendly, we enjoyed everyone's hospitality.

The staff is helpful, courteous, and very attentive, possibly some of the best, if not the best, I have ever come across in my 20+ years of travel. The resort is very comfortable with the perfect amount of rustic charm and scenery that is impossible to compare. The pool and spa is fantastic. The outdoor jacuzzi bed could be my new favorite thing. This is definitely a must do if you are ever in the Austrian Alps.

There was a pool! Free parking and wifi.... Check-in times were a bit inconvenient. If you arrive after 8pm make sure you call the hotel before to let them know about your late arrival so they can organise a key for you.

I went here for the first time this week and really enjoyed my stay. Before I go any further,…read morealthough my room was nice and cosy, it smelt a bit of old carpet and also, the shower kept going hot and cold in the morning. If it wasn't for that, I would give this place 5 stars. The staff here are excellent, the food is really good and, the bar has an excellent selection of wine, whiskeys, rums and schnapps, at a reasonable price. The view here is spectacular and, there is a small lake at the back of the property where, you can go boating and hire the boat from reception. Although, the breakfast, lunch and dinner was buffet style, the food was excellent and tasted amazing. The meats were excellent and beautifully cooked, breakfast choices plenty, lots of salads and so on on offer and excellent service. The bar was the real highlight for me as not only were the staff here excellent the choices were plenty and I could have spent almost all my money just tasting various single malt whiskeys and other such drinks. I would happily come back here again for the great location, excellent food and great service.

We also planned a table for two Christmas dinner soon arriving the owners showed us the room and it was not a double room it was a very small room with two single beds pushed together there was not even space to put our suit cases, the curtains didn't close all the way so people from the street could see in. I complained to the owners but they were no help at all, they thought we didn't understand German so they only thought was we would give them a bad review This was highly upsetting which took a toll on the comfort of our stay. We have found this to be entirely the fault of owners and Booking.com as we had specifically entered the details of our stay which the Hotel Grainaurhof have not been provided. The dinner was a nightmare there was no private table because the owner didn't even want to set it up even thought her had plenty the were going to site with another couple in a corner. At this I told the owners no an I wanted to leave this hotel by morning, but sadly enough we paid the 374 euro for not even staying this one star if that hotel don't wast your time it is a ripoff DO NOT STAY HERE IT iS RIPOFF However this is entirely the fault of Booking.com and the owners of the hotel this Very disappointing never using Booking.com again and highly recommend future users to opt for a different website.
