Alpenhof Murnau

Nice hotel not far from Munich. Friendly staff and a very well-kept hotel complex. Unfortunately, the indoor pool area was a bit dull. The rest of the wellness area was good. The outdoor pool is great, although it is a bit difficult to get to. The food was good, but it was not worth the price. A bottle of water for the price of almost a crate is incredibly unpleasant. I am happy to pay for good things, but the food and drink here are extremely over the top. That is a shame and should be reconsidered. I also found the vending machine coffee unfortunate. It simply has no place in 5-star hotels.

Very pleasant and stylish hotel. Attentive and never intrusive service, beautiful bar with great cocktails and an impressive wine list. The reception was professional and the breakfast buffet was outstanding. The salad and starter buffet could be a bit more extensive in the evening.

Extremely friendly, attentive staff. Huge garden where you can find a quiet spot in the shade under the trees. Large outdoor terrace with enough tables to eat comfortably under the large awning, protected from the rain. The food was excellent (we only used the restaurant once) and the wine list is more than extensive. Wines from all over the world are offered and the wine list in this house is a thick, extensive, heavy book. Unfortunately, the sauna area is not near the large outdoor swimming pool with the adjacent large whirlpool. The indoor pool is adjacent to the sauna area. If you want to use the outdoor pool (very well-tempered), you have to take the wrong path through many corridors. We stayed in the ground floor holiday apartment. However, we can't give it 5 * because it is very noisy. Unfortunately, the interior designer was not involved in the holiday apartment. It is a colorful mix of styles. The apartment. is fully furnished (complete kitchen with Nespresso machine, large bathing bag with bathrobe and slippers, soap, shampoo and cream dispenser ...). However, the washing machine and tumble dryer are in the large kitchen and this detracts from the coziness of the kitchen-diner with the old tiled stove and dining table. There would be enough space and the two large white electrical appliances could easily have disappeared into a built-in cupboard. The shower with shower curtain also does not suit a 5* house. Why wasn't a little investment in matching wall and floor tiles and a glass shower partition? With little effort and a bit of skill, the large holiday apartment (there are 3 bedrooms and a large bathroom and huge kitchen) could be made more comfortable and attractive so that the holiday apartment would match the hotel. The hotel deserves its stars, but the holiday apartment only gets 3 * from us.
