I saw several hotels in Mittenwald that interested me, but the Hotel Garni Edlhuber was the only…read moreone that fit my under $100/night budget! I made reservations via email in German before I left - we only wanted to stay 1 night, so we were unable to guarantee between a double room & an apartment, but the price difference was pretty minimal.
When we arrived, the daughter who runs the hotel was gone but her mother was around. She speaks some English...enough to do a transaction if necessary, but she noticed that I could speak enough German to get along so we stuck with that. Surprisingly she thought I was French! Anyways, she showed us to our room and then went to find our room key. A few minutes later, she was back with the key and a small English map of Mittenwald. She quickly gave us the 2 minute tour recommendation and some restaurant options for dinner and then left us to explore.
We ended up with an apartment, the Schmalzer. It has a double bed, a futon, a shower/WC and a small kitchen (which we did not use since it was only 1 night). It would comfortably sleep four and was very clean! But the best part of the room was the VIEW! The balcony had two chairs and a tiny table, and if I didn't already know how wonderful the rest of Mittenwald was, I probably would have spent the rest of our trip out on that balcony. There's a gorgeous view of the Karwendel and the creek from this 2nd story apartment.
A quick 5-10 minute walk into the historic center makes the Edlhuber very convenient for those wanting to explore Mittenwald. After a good night's sleep, we woke up to a very nice breakfast and met the daughter. We sneaked out pretty early as we had a long day planned, but I would have loved to spend the morning on that balcony.
70 euros for the apartment - though if a double room would have been available, it would have been only 64 euros.
