Hotels Near Photospot St.Anna in Garmisch-Partenkirchen

This a very nice vintage style hotel in the best street of Pa area. The hotel staff is so friendly and courteous. Nice bar, nice restaurant too. We stayed for a night only but would have loved to stay longer. Rooms are big with super views, nice balcony and big bathrooms. Beds are comfortable. Before I booked I had read some reviews on old furniture/ furnishings.. but trust me, it’s very clean and well maintained. The hotel room has old style furniture but it is well maintained and very very clean. We booked a breakfast in advance and then did not have it as we were not hungry. The staff was ready to adjust it against any other F&B bill, which we think was amazing service. Finally because they were fully sold out for dinner, they refunded the amount in cash. Truly impressed with this.. Go for Atlas Grand Hotel.. you will love it.

We stayed here for two nights as we drove along the Alpine Route and couldn't have made a better choice, this is a charming Art Nouveau hotel with a lot of its original features intact. Now you will read many reviews that say it needs modernising and re-equipping but if you look beneath the surface you will see what a fine hotel this is. The service from every member of staff goes beyond what you will find in the chain hotels and that includes the youngest girl who waited at breakfast. They have the widest choice of quality tea (probably 20 different ones) that I have ever seen at any hotel that we have stayed at. Breakfast itself was excellent with a good selection of meats, cheeses, yoghurts, fruits etc and the bacon and scrambled egg was cooked to perfection, it's probably the first time in fifty years that I have had traditional bacon with the two little bits of bone in, great memories. The room itself was large and quiet, the bed comfortable and the shower worked well. I agree that some may think the rooms need modernising but we do not come to hotels to spend hours in our room, we tend to rise early and after breakfast we go out until we are ready for bed. There is so much to see and so little time. We did use the sauna on one evening and it was very good and hot 90-100C with room for four or maybe six people at a time but only one other couple used it while we were there. There is a cool relaxation area with four recliners and a couple of chairs but you can also go out into the garden area. We did not use the pool but several others were using it, again you can exit onto the garden. On the Saturday evening we ate at an excellent family restaurant about 100 metres away, unfortunately my wife left her handbag there with our passports in it. We were going back to Munich for a concert the following morning and returning late in the evening, we informed the reception of our problem. On our return at 3.30am Monday morning the night porter had my wife's handbag already for her. If we were passing through here again this is where we would stay without any shadow of doubt.

The rooms are very simple, and the villagers' houses are visually sensitive. The air conditioner is very poor, it often turns off automatically, and wakes up several times during sleep. The surface of the wooden floor looks the same. I put on my socks and walked around. The socks became very dirty. It is estimated that the cleaners only vacuumed and did not mop the floor. The curtains were pulled vigorously, and the dust got into the eyes. It should have been a long time since they were cleaned. There is a balcony but the privacy is poor, it is not blocked, and it is shared by the residents on the first floor. There is a restaurant less than ten meters from the balcony, and there are people sitting outside in the morning, at night, and facing here. The only satisfaction is that the restaurant environment is not bad, but the rooms are so rudimentary that it can't be more rudimentary.

Great location on the outskirts of town but easily walked from the station in the summer/autumn, just be aware of the hike up a steep trail to the entrance - there is an alternative! Food was wonderful - great variety in the buffet breakfast and dinner. Staff were very friendly and helpful; they make you so welcome. At the back of the hotel are trails with fabulous views of Zugspitze and Alpspitze; you can hike the old bob sleigh run, too. We really enjoyed our stay and would be happy to return.

Ettal as an area doesn’t have a lot to offer. We wanted to go up the tallest mountain in Germany and this was a convenient stop over hotel for that purpose. as the drive to the mountain wasn’t far. The hotel is fairly large but rather dated inside. The young lady on reception was cheerful and her English wasn’t too bad and she tried to help us. However, on the first night we ate in their restaurant and the servers spoke no English, no menus in English and were fairly unhelpful The food was pretty average. The hotel has a small bar near reception but everyone seems to drink outside the front of the hotel where the public can come in also. The room was big and comfortable but the whole atmosphere of the hotel is it needs a refurbish.

I booked this hotel through the Oberammergau Passion Play. I had no idea what to expect. The hotel was lovely. The staff is exceptionally helpful. The decor is lovely, very Tyrolean. My room was small and in the back of the old building, and I could not have been more pleased. There was a balcony. Across a small bridge was a meadow where the goats pastured. The gentle tinkle of their bells was very calming. The bed and bedding could not have been better. I was so pleased to have an actual shower! ( I don't have a handle on the hand held sprays found in many hotels and tend to flood the bathroom.) While small, there was plenty of room for everything. (It was a little odd to have an actual key. It took some getting used to.) I cannot rave about the breakfast enough. I tend to stay in 4 &5 star hotels and the breakfast is a good as any. The selection was excellent. The food was fresh. The breads were fantastic. The dinners were all included in my Passion Play package. They were quite good, but I imagine that when one orders from a menu, the meals are better than quite good. The waitstaff is excellent. The surrounding grounds are beautiful. It really is difficult to leave them. The views are gorgeous. The bus stop is just down the hill from the hotel. It is easy to get to Oberammergau or Schloss Linderhoff. The only drawback is that the hotel is up a hill. It isn't a problem if you are driving, but it is a steep set of stairs with a suitcase if you take the bus. A taxi is just 19€ from Oberau station. It is well worth the money.
