Parking note. Comfortable — Multiple reviews praise direct parking next to accommodations; one motorhome review notes challenging uphill access but manageable.

What guests report

View
Panoramic alpine views of Tennengebirge and Hochkönig mountains visible from most balconies and the pool area; exceptional from upper-floor rooms
Bed & mattress
Comfortable beds consistently praised; guests report sleeping well
Bathroom & water
Hot water reliable; water pressure issues during simultaneous showers; some drainage problems reported in motorhome facility
Wi-Fi
Unreliable; complete outages reported first 1-2 days despite being advertised
Breakfast
Outstanding; fresh home-produced eggs, milk, jams, cheese, and daily-delivered rolls; orders placed evening before

Local knowledge

Order the breakfast service the night before: fresh rolls, eggs, and milk delivered to your room daily
Request the wellness area (sauna, steam bath, whirlpool) to be pre-heated when you arrive; it's in the basement and needs advance notice
Don't rely on GPS alone—confirm driving directions with owners beforehand to avoid getting lost on the mountain access road
