The Alpenhof Grainau is a lovely, very typically German hotel in a spa town on the German-Austrian border where the clients are treated as cherished guests. Upon arrival we were helped with our baggage to a large, pretty room supplied with the kind of extras you expect from a 4-star hotel (nice sample-sized toiletries products, minibar, fluffy robes and slippers,...

Great food, be sure to take half pension, to enjoy the wonderful dinners. Spacious room, with separate seating area and balcony. We walked to the Eibsee (about 1 1/2 hours) ate lunch and took the...

The dinning room menu was... More

The staff is very welcoming and the entire hotel is quite homey feeling. The food in the restaurant was quite good. The hotel's owner didn't seem to speak English,... More
