Gröbl-Alm

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Gröblalm. We come to this area fairly frequently for skiing in and around Garmisch, although this was the first time we'd stayed in Mittenwald as a base. For skiers; The Gröblalm has a ski cellar - we didn't use it - we just leave skis in the car. If you have a car then it's ok to commute to Garmisch (and Zugspitze, Lermoos, Ehrwald) from here although it is at the top-end of how long I'd want to drive. It's much closer to Seefeld - we really should have gone that way! As a hotel; I always look at the bad reviews on TA - because no-one can please all the people all the time! The Gröblalm has very few bad reviews and the ones that there are are from quite a long time ago. Generally the things that people complain about have been changed - so clearly the hotel management have taken things on board and made things better - isn't that great? As a hotel - I'd say it was very comfortable, very warm, friendly and welcoming, and everything was at a high standard. No complaints at all. A beautiful building, rooms, interior all in the traditional Bavarian style. The free wifi was pretty good too - Bavaria has been known for efficient wifi for centuries. All the staff we spoke to were friendly and hospitable. They were polite about my clumsy German, whilst themselves speaking flawless English. A few details; - Room - great, but would be really nice to have a kettle to make a tea or coffee - Parking - three locations around the site - so really, ample parking - Breakfast - very high standard, wide choice, the only slight surprise is that German scrambled eggs were not part of the buffet, which is the norm. However they did cook eggs to order - I guess however you want them. - It's about 15 minutes to walk down to Mittenwald town, and maybe 20 minutes back uphill all the way. I must confess we were lazy and took the car. (We'd been skiing all day!) - only half the rooms face the mountains for the view, the other half face the farmhouse across the road. But you get the mountain view at breakfast. - We didn't use the sauna so can't comment on that. On our last day we had to leave very early, and they were happy to provide a breakfast for us to have on the road. We ate dinner here three times - which was excellent. The only slight negative is that I did feel it was rather expensive. I'd be very happy to come back here. In fact I'd love to.

Wir waren erstmalig auf der Gröbl Alm und wahrlich begeistert. Freundlicher Empfang, aufmerksames, höfliches und geschultes Personal. Tolles Zimmer mit Ausblick über Mittenwald, sehr sauber, tägliche Reinigung. Hochwertiges Frühstück, alles super lecker. Wir haben an 6 Abenden im Hotel gegessen und waren sechsmal restlos begeistert. Hochwertige und regionale Speisen in großer Vielfalt, alles sehr schmackhaft. Preis-Leistung absolut top! Das Kaminzimmer für die Hotelgäste ist einfach wunderschön, mehr bayerische Atmosphäre geht nicht. Wir kommen gerne wieder.

Wir waren jetzt zum zweiten mal hier und können die Gröbl Alm nur empfehlen. Für die, die urigen Alpenstil der Zimmer lieben ein muss und ein großartiger Blick vom Balkon auf den Karwendel. Das Frühstücks Büfett erfüllte fast alle Anforderungen, nur für ein paar Rühreier oder Spiegeleier musste man 5€ extra bezahlen. Aber hart oder weichgekochte Eier waren inclusive. Da wir im Restaurant nicht essen waren klammern wir die Bewertung dafür aus. Zwei Tips noch: - unbedingt ein "Süd Zimmer und im 2/3 Stock buchen, wegen der Aussicht (es gibt eine Aufzug). - für einen Kurzurlaub unbedingt direkt anrufen, bei Reiseanbieter findet man immer nur min 6 Tage, bei weniger kommt immer ausgebucht. Fünf Punkte für die Gröbl Alm, auch wenn sie nicht ganz billig ist. Selber sehen und Verstehen!
