Pros:

Wir haben am König Ludwig Lauf teilgenommen. Die Lage des Hotels war für uns perfekt. Es ist alles vorhanden was man für ein schönes Wochenende braucht. Leckeres Essen, geräumiges Appartement, Schwimmbad, Spa-Bereich, nettes persönliches Umfeld mit freundlichen Menschen.

Pros:

Great location, great suite, great facilities.

Cons:

Some of the staff we're not very friendly. Especially at the restaurant. We stayed 5 nights, went 5 times at the restaurant and on the last night a lady (older) acted like no tables were available even though the other section was almost empty. Luckily the younger oriental girl, who had always been very nice and friendly took care of us. That older waitress got into a fit the day before when someone walked into the restaurant with a dog. On April 18.

Prima hotel in prachtige bergachtige omgeving
Pros:

Fantastische locatie te bereiken via een prachtige route door een op dat moment fraai sneeuwlandschap.
Gratis parkeren voor en achter hotel.
Vriendelijk en behulpzaam personeel bij ontvangst en restaurant.
Ruime schone kamer met balkon, prima bedden, goede douche
Heerlijk gegeten in de Braustüberl, wat kleinere ruimte in vergelijking met andere zalen. Heerlijk eigen bier.
Hotel uitgekozen mede ivm zwembad en dat beviel prima na een lange reis.
Badjas en handdoek voor zwembad/ sauna aanwezig
Prima uitgebreid ontbijt met veel lekkere en verse producten
Zeker een hotel om bij de volgende reis naar Italië weer te boeken.

Cons:

Eigenlijk niets. Kamer heeft geen airco dus in de zomer kan het heet worden!
Wel Cappuccino te bestellen maar geen espresso macchiato ?

Wie immer Perfekt
Pros:

Die Lage des Hauses ist Perfekt für viele Aktivitäten zu verschiedenen Jahreszeiten. Das Personal ist außerordentlich freundlich und hilfsbereit in jeder Lebenslage. Und die Ausstattung und das Ambiente ist ,was Bayern in seiner Ursprünglichkeit vermittelt. Und für mich als Motorradfahrer war das Hotel auch schon des öfteren ein Rettungsanker auf meinen Touren, weil ich immer einen fairen Preis für die Unterkunft bekommen habe

Cons:

Ich weiß, dsss es nicht rentabel wäre, aber ich würde mir die Schweinshaxe mit brauner Biersoße auf der Karte des Restaurants wünschen (mit Sauerkraut und Semmelknödeln)
