Hotel Fürstenhof Bad Griesbach

“Value for money wellness hotel”

We had a 4-day halfboard package booked through Tchibo Reisen. Our double room had a modern bathroom and balcony with flower pots overlooking the park and the town. We loved the oversize sofa. We had a complimentary proseco at the bar. We had the breakfast buffet at the same restaurant for dinner. Our Favorites: Cheeses and Bretzels during breakfast and the inviting salat buffet during dinner (especially the coleslaw). The dessert buffet on Saturday night was not that special but the rest of the ala carte dishes were good. However, the wine list was very limited and the fitness room was not well lighted. There were thermal inside and outside pools. Almost all of the guests were locals. We were more than satisfied with the spa and the massage (we had a complimentary back massage and booked another massage). The sauna area was quite small but modern with enough relaxation chairs. The reception team was very acommodating and we just loved their uniform. The old-fashioned heavy room key was definitely something to remember. Bad Griesbach, is a quaint spa town in Bavaria, Germany known for thermal baths. Hotel Fürstenhof is a value for money property. It is a 4 star plus hotel with 4 star facilities and 4 star service.

“Misleading Reports”

Given that prior to this one, the most recent review (from MHelwig) was almost incoherently critical, the first point to make is not to bother reading it.

Given that prior to this one, the most recent review (from MHelwig) was almost incoherently critical, the first point to make is not to bother reading it. He certainly comes across as having a serious attitude problem and reveals much more of his rather sad self than he does the hotel. We stayed for three days and enjoyed most, if not all, aspects of this hotel, in particular the friendly and helpful staff. The clientel does tend to be rather advanced in age and the hotel does its best to provide water and non-water based activities which would suit that sort of population. We would be happy to stay there again, although there is not a great deal in the area, apart from golf and a visit to Passau, to prompt a second visit.

My Wife surprised me with a weekend away to this facilities. She got a cheap offer for a 2 nights-3days stay including breakfast and dinner for two. The location/area around this hotel is very famous for rehabilitation for aged and/or physically disabled people. Also, there are many Golf course both full size and mini golf. Having said this, this area is filled with hotels and vacation apartments. The drive to Bad Griesbach is very pleasant, specially during summer time. As you arrived you will find yourself at a big round about and arrows pointing in every direction for different hotels and apartments. for Fürstenhof Quellness- und Golfhotel, you need to drive out of this round about ( not directly going to the basement garage) and drive past the bus stand. just before you think that you are leading to a wrong place, you will see direction to basement parking for at least 10 hotels, and one of them is Fürstenhof Quellness- und Golfhotel. Follow the yellow line to get to the correct parking basement. Its not hard to find correct parking as it sounds. As soon as we step in it was clear that these place is well past its prime, and wants the 80ties back. The lift was broken so we took steps with our luggage, but still there was a button to press and call help if needed. The dim-lighted hallway and staircase took us to the well-lit and grand reception. check-in was easy, fast and efficient with all needed information given right away. Well-come to Germany. We were allocated Room 327 with a quick apology for broken lift, and direction to other functioning lift. The Room and hotel was clean and neat. Bathroom relatively new/renovated, free wifi, cable TV, mini bar and a locker very slimier setup to many other hotels. the view from room balcony was to the pool, and over looking the valley, a nice view. The food on both nights was, lets say not exceptional but also above average. with good selection of wine and beers. same was for the breakfast. there was always plenty to choose from, and many options available. the pool / Therme area was nicely done, clean and with enough towels and a pool bar. there is a solarium and sauna area and enough sun beds that even Germans do not need the feel to reserve them. :) water, tea and apples were to grab for free at the Sauna station. We hung out at the pool side all 3 days, going to the pool for a dip, 135cm deep, and to the indoor/outdoor Jacuzzi. very relaxing, peaceful and slow times. the only drawback was that at the pool side there was no wifi reception, which was very good in the room. The average age of the guests was i guess around 70, but there were some young couples, and one or two families with kids. The staff was friendly, always ready to help. I do not say that it was the best stay, but for a weekend stress-buster this place was perfect. the price we paid via this offer, was a good value for money.
