Alpenhotel Karwendel - Adults Only

“A relaxing, comfortable and sustainable retreat in the mountains.”

This was my second visit to the Karwendel. Although I was convinced that it would be it be possible to improve on my first trip, I was wrong. The second time was even better!

This was my second visit to the Karwendel. Although I was convinced that it would be it be possible to improve on my first trip, I was wrong. The second time was even better! This house operates on the basis that every member of staff is part of a team, and that team is dedicated to ensuring that guests enjoy a friendly, relaxing and comfortable holiday, whilst paying attention to the local environment and the local economy. The hotel’s location is perfect for hikers, cross-country skiers, cyclists and for this who prefer to rely on public transport. It is a peaceful part of the Leutasch that enjoys the best snow conditions and a long season. Even my small single room was very comfortable with everything I needed. Like the rest of the hotel, it was well maintained, spotlessly clean and even had a small balcony. The hotel’s peaceful atmosphere ensures that there is no unwanted or obtrusive noise. I slept extremely well in my very comfortable bed. The welcome at check-in is always warm, as it the check-out. Staff in the restaurant are outstanding. They are friendly, calm and professional. Because they looked after me most often, I highlight Robert, Petra and Zina. However, it was clear from other guests’ reactions that the same high standards apply throughout. The same was true of cleaning staff, people looking after the Wellness area and those in the Genussmobil at lunchtime. The spa is really well equipped. The swimming pool has an amazing view of the Hohe Munde. There are plenty of steam baths and saunas, ensuring that relaxing never feels too busy. I particularly like the split between the very modern Wellness Lounge and the gemütlich Garten Spa. There really is something for everyone! Something for everyone also describes the amazing choice of delicious, locally sourced and high quality meals served in the restaurant. It is a mystery to me how Herr Rödlach and his team produce meals of such a high standard every breakfast, lunch and dinner, but they are very skilled! I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this hotel and I hope it won’t be too long before I return.

This wonderful, comfortable is located in peaceful surroundings with, depending on the time of year, immediate access to hiking trails and/ or cross country skiing. It is a family run hotel. The fantastic chef is also the owner. He is clearly passionate about his business, and ensuring that every guest receives great service and leaves feeling better than when they arrived. Indeed, everybody member of the team takes personal responsibility for ensuring an enjoyable stay. From the moment I stepped through the door, to the time I said goodbye to the hotel shuttle driver this morning, every person I met was friendly, helpful and professional. The dinner, every night, was a real triumph. There was always a choice for meat eaters, fish enthusiasts and vegetarians. Using great ingredients in very inventive ways, they always managed to produce something new and exciting. Breakfast was also great. A rich buffet of every imaginable item, complemented by freshly cooked eggs. You can also get lunch/ afternoon tea. Service was great by everyone. I would particularly commend Robert who served me most frequently, and managed not to laugh at my clumsy, slow German. However, everybody was top class. The Wellness areas are fantastic. Clean, modern and easy to use. It was particularly nice that, the day I arrived after a long journey from Scotland, one of them had late opening until 10.00 pm. I especially enjoyed my early morning swims under the red skies with a breathtaking Mountain View, the variety of saunas available and the ability to take a break with a cup of herbal tea. The hotel, itself, is in a brilliant place with wonderful hikes of every standard on the doorstep. The free public transport offering hugely expands what is available and allows for linear hikes too. They even lend you backpacks and trekking poles. I also enjoyed a very good quality of sleep. The firm mattress was just right and the quiet, peaceful nature of the surroundings helped too.

“Perfect Winter spot, good facilities, good food and nice people”

Staying in the romantic room 308, a 2 floor room is a unique experience that is very much appreciated. Facilities are having all you need, swimming pool, sauna, dumbthbad, sports room, yoga etc... A garage can be asked for the stay to protect the car.

Place is situated in very nice area, good service from the hosts and staff. I only won’t recommend it to people like me who are mixing holiday with work or searching relaxation by using internet services like netflix or Spotify. In case you are in need for internet you should bring your own MiFi or hotspot as the hotel has recently upgrade his system and it suffers from childhood technical problems (good WiFi signal everywhere but no valid op, thus no internet). Has kost me about 50 extra euro’s for a short stay (buying 3g extra MBs from my provider) and it’s a pity that the owner couldn’t fix it during my stay..(though he has tried). .
