"Really beautiful hotel run by a very nice family. The location is about a 10 min walk from the old town Partenkirchen and a close drive to the train station to get up to Zugispitze. Breakfast at the hotel was great and we had dinner almost every night at restaurant. Our balcony was a wrap around one that had a beautiful view. The people we were traveling with had a smaller/less ideal balcony so I would clarify when booking what you’re getting. Also unfortunately unavoidable in the mountains but there was a lot of bugs so we couldn’t keep the windows open or they kept coming in! Otherwise a great stay"
