Wonderful location with amazing views

We spent a night at Der Westerhof and the experience was amazing. The hotel has a great location and the view from our room was stunning. The service is very friendly and helpful. The breakfast buffet is definitely a highlight.

Amazing weekend stay

We are returning to Der Westerhof for the second time and our experience has been absolutely amazing! Hotel Team is fantastic and we were looking forward to meet them again - very friendly and with great sense of humor. The hotel is located on the hill and overlooks beautiful lake Tegernsee with 5 minutes walk up the hill for the hikes to the mountains. The rooms are beautiful and very cozy - it was hard to decide between hiking or just enjoying the view from the terrace. Breakfast is definitely the highlight and offers a lot of choices. We have been to several hotels in Tegernsee area and Der Westerhof is raising the bar very high. Special thank you to Gabriella for making our stay so special! we will be back again :)

Glorious view and great breakfast.

We booked to stay at the hotel over a long weekend when we were attending a wedding close by and were travelling with our dog. We arrived late on the Friday evening and were pretty exhausted having driven from Frankfurt, via the first part of the wedding party. The receptionist was fantastic and whilst, somewhat surprisingly, the hotel had no food to offer, she quickly suggested a couple of local places where the kitchens were still open.

Our room, on the same floor as the breakfast room, was simply furnished with local wooden furniture very much in keeping with the Bavarian identity on which most of the region's hotels trade so heavily. It had a beautiful balcony with stunning views across the valley. The bathroom had a walk-in shower, which was powerful and the water always hot. After the long day our room became an immediate and comfortable refuge, which it remained across the weekend. The room and the rest of the hotel were kept spotlessly clean, with good quality linens, though more pillow options would have been appreciated. The hotel is quiet and peaceful; in the mornings we couldn't tell that we were on the same level as the breakfast room.

Breakfast the following morning was on the terrace just a few metres from our room. Dogs were not permitted in this area of the hotel but the hotel grounds provide plenty of space for an early morning walk. The breakfast was marred by only one thing, for some reason they couldn't provide poached eggs. Perhaps a question of language difference but they did give up trying to understand far too quickly ... and they weren't that busy. Otherwise the breakfast was fantastic, with excellent coffee (though with poor quality teas), plenty of local goodies and more international breakfast fare, taken outdoors again with plenty of fresh air and that glorious view.

View and all the good things on top of it

You can't beat the view. We've been there in April, kind of in a middle of seasons, but it was beautiful even then. Perfect access to hiking (including the hike to brewery in the city downtown :)). Breakfast on a terrace is a must. Plus extremely, extremely helpful staff - made our stay really beautiful. Oh, and back t the view - even from sauna it is absolutely great.

Loved it!

This is such a lovely hotel. We were lucky enough to be upgraded to a suite which made our stay completely perfect. However even with a less glamorous room this hotel would be worth the 5* review.

The views are amazing and the gardens are beautiful. The staff are really helpful and friendly. They also speak English fluently which helps if you're an ignorant Englishman with
only limited German phrases.

The breakfast offers a good range of options, including plenty for veggies, and they have very good coffee.

It's a long way up the mountain and the walk isn't for the faint hearted but they do offer a shuttle service from the station.

We'll definitely be going back.

Business meeting in a nice location

i was there in a business meeting, rooms and catering were just great. with the calm, convenient location and the great views over Tegernsee this is a must be location for offsite meetings. i had a large room,which actually was a suite with a living room and a bedroom and a bath.

A fantastic stay

We couldn't have wished for better. The hotel staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The views from our room, the dining room and spa were breathtaking looking across Tegernsee valley, lake and mountains. The beds were fantastically comfortable. Breakfast was extensive and of great quality. The location was perfect for us, far enough up the hill to provide absolute peace but a straight forward walk down the hill to Tegernsee. The hotel is also right by some fantastic trails up the mountain with access to beautiful alpine spots and wonderful huts for en route drinks and food. We didn't want to leave! Thanks for a wonderful holiday, we hope to be back soon.

Great location and price!

It has an amazing look of Tegernsee. Even though getting there is a bit complicated, you have to be careful in the road.

Service is great! Breakfast is totally worth it, for other meals try to go somewhere else cause their meals are expensive.

Poor catering, good views

The hotel itself is set up in the hillside with splendid views over Tegernsee. Our room was very comfortable with a balcony to enjoy the view. The downside was being told by reception that the restaurant was fully booked even though we had arrived early to check in? He advised us to eat at the restaurant down the road (200 metres away). When I checked the prices of the restaurant, I was glad we had to eat elsewhere, €50 a head without any drinks!

Another plus is the breakfast buffet, well stocked and plenty of variety.

Overall a nice place to stay but their dinner menu is ridiculously priced and poorly catered for.

Amazing value for money

This hotel is in a stunning location and has a lovely person feel

I had a stunning view from my room and felt as the staff all enjoyed working here and nothing was a problem for them.

Even had someone come and dig my car out the morning after heavy snow, this just happened didn't have to struggle or ask.
