10/10 Exceptional

The view from the rooms and specially from the terrace is amazing. Great spot for a glass of wine or a local beer. If you are not a German Speaker don’t worry, the staff speaks several lenguages. Nice breakfast buffette. The location it’s just a small walk to town’s center. And the lake can easily be reached by taxi or public transport .

Celebrated an anniversary and birthday while staying at the Waxenstein. An anniversary card and chocolates in our room and a special birthday breakfast table with champagne for my wife’s birthday. All unexpected but greatly appreciated. No doubt our future trip to Grainau will include a stay at the Waxenstein.

We liked that we could walk to town, where restaurants were plenty, and was a very short drive to the Zugspitze. But above all this, we absolutely love the Mountain Views, the beautiful flowers and the peace and quiet.

10/10 Exceptional

The front office staff are some of the nicest and most accommodating we had on our trip. They help with anything you need. The only little problem with the room was that there was no air conditioning in the room so it got a little stuffy and hot in the night time.
Verified review

8/10 Very good

The hotel is very nice, but overpriced. I think, the biggest part of this price is for the view, and view is wonderful! The personnel is very friendly and ready to help. It was also very nice to see the little presents for our dog in the room. Location is also good - there is a walking view route in 5 min from the hotel. The center with cafes and restaurant also not so far away -about 10 min walk. BUT: The bathroom is extremely small and should be renovated (as an example - the sink is pretty small and low, even for me with the height of 164cm it was uncomfortable to use). No air conditioner (I believe, this is because of the building itself is not so new). And the biggest disappointment - the restaurant. Extremely overpriced, but nothing special in the taste at all. On top of that, we were waiting for our order more than 30min. Not sure if it's still has the Michelin star, but anyway, I do not recommend it.

2/10 Poor

Unfortunately, the front desk experience pretty much guaranteed we won’t be staying here again. We arrived late after a long day and were looking forward to using the hot tub, especially since the website said it was open until 11:30 PM. When we asked about it, the front desk person promptly went down and locked it up. Apparently we arrived just in time...to watch it close. Parking was another adventure. We had indicated ahead of time that we would have a car, but when we arrived, there was literally nowhere to park. After explaining this, we were told to go try again and come back if we still couldn’t find anything, at which point we could get a garage key. So back out we went. My husband eventually squeezed the car into a spot so tight that we had to unload every piece of luggage before he could climb out, Dukes of Hazzard style. Bonus points: our precious parking spot was also very close to a ledge, which made moving the car again especially unappealing. We had timed our arrival so we could eat at the hotel restaurant, but were told there were no reservations available, despite the restaurant looking fairly empty. Okay, fine, we understood. We then asked if she could recommend somewhere nearby that we could walk to because there was absolutely no way we were giving up our hard\-earned cliffhanger parking spot. She recommended an Italian restaurant...but couldn’t remember the name of it. So, armed with that incredibly helpful information, we wandered off and found a pl

4/10 Fair

Stayed here for 4 days and 3 nights. I paid almost £200/day for the room but I reckon I could get a nicer and bigger room somewhere else. The location of the hotel was great however the room was so small, especially the bathroom. The receptionist who received me was very kind and even accompanied me to my room however, the other lady was quite rude and sarcastic. I politely asked her where I could get some ice as I just came from outside and it was very hot and she said in an irritated voice "go there (pointing to the restaurant), you see I dont have ice here." Overall, it was okay but wouldnt come back or recommend.
