Where you - our guests - have your say:

Great hotel, with a couple exceptions

I very much liked this hotel and would return. But I do have two complaints. First, often when I visited the front desk either a) no one was there, or b) there was a long line of guests. Second, the breakfast starts at 8 am. This is a place where many guests want to hike in the morning or need to leave early. When I was there, guests were lingering around the buffet around 7:30, finally people started serving themselves around 7:45. The staff looked a bit flustered. But here is an idea. If 10% of your guests want to eat before 8, it's not them who are early, it is you who are late.

beautiful hotel with a stunning hilltop view over the lake

We were made very welcome from the minute we arrived and this continued when we were shown our room which was not only beautiful but had amazing views of the lake. Fittings were of very high quality and we had a great nights sleep topped off by a fabulous breakfast with attentive staff and vast selection. We wished we had been there for more than one night and would happily go back. There is no restaurant on site but there is a great place 5 mins walk away that the staff recommended to us. To get the views the hotel is at the top of the hill which didn't worry us but depends what you want to do. The hotel has range of spa facilities which we wished we had had time to try.

views to die for

My wife and I stayed here recently for a couple of days and really enjoyed the beautiful location. It is a bit out of town and a car is essential in our view. Be sure you follow the directions closely.
There is no restaurant, however there is an excellent restaurant within 5 minutes walk (closed on Mondays and Tuesdays).
The hotel was wonderfully quiet, the views overlooking the lake are to die for and it is an excellent starting point for some beautiful walks.
The breakfast buffet is the best we had in 10 days of traveling in Bavaria and Austria.
It is one of the few hotels I would seriously consider revisiting.

Simply wonderful

We stayed there for easter and the rooms are wonderful and individual since this is not a chain hotel. From the room we had great view over the lake. The beds were very good and it was quiet. In particular I liked also the rain shower in the bath room.

The breakfast was fine as well and staff was very attentive. Already the next morning they welcomed us with our names (that doesn't happen in chain hotels at all).

The hotel itself is located up the hill so if you come by train then you can call the reception and they will pick you up at the train station within a few minutes. If you don't have luggage you can also take the stairs which is a bit exhausting but good for the the health :-) otherwise a taxi costs around 5-7€ from the city.

All in all the best hotel I have ever stayed.

PS: The wireless internet is for free. You just have to ask at the reception for a password.

Wonderful hotel and staff

My sister and I spent a night here last summer during a holiday in Bavaria and wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel is a little ways up a hill overlooking the lake, and a car is recommended for the drive into town. The rooms were excellent, well decorated, and spacious. They have private balconies that overlook the lake, and very nice bathrooms. We had breakfast on the terrace in the sunshine overlooking the lake. The staff was excellent - extremely helpful, welcoming, and courteous.

A Unique Budget Choice: Quiet, with a Killer View

We stayed for 2 nights here after a driving tour through Bavaria and Austria, on the way back to Munich before coming home. It's about 1 1/2 hours to Munich. It was a good choice.
I was attracted by the views and the history of the property, and it fit nicely into a family budget.
The property has a long history associated with a monastery down by the lake. Before recently being remodeled, it was some sort of health / medical retreat. There was renovation ongoing when we were there, but it may be finished by now.
The rooms are cozy (read: small-ish), and basically furnished. The beds were comfortable. The rooms have porches with chairs and small tables overlooking the lake and the mountains. The vistas are incredible!! It is very calm, peaceful, and quiet.
Breakfast is included, and is standard european with breads, cheeses, cereals, etc...
The outdoor dining patio is breathtaking on a nice morning.
There is a "bar" that serves local beer, and it's nice to sit on the patio and relax. Needless to say, the local beer is superior, and they are proud of it.
There is a fine old local restaurant a five minute walk away, with classic bavarian food, beer and a great view over the lake.
Hiking trails lead from the property up into the mountains.
The lake is a five minute drive down the mountain.
Note that english is spoken by most of the staff, but not all.
Tegernsee is well known among the Munich affluent. It is very beautiful, with lots of outdoor activities, mountain hiking, cable cars, etc... There are lots of restaurants and shops in the small towns on the lake. There are spas in the area, also. It reminded me of Laguna Beach, Ca. Upscale and clean. It was quite crowded, staying up on the mountain where it was quiet worked out well for us.
