Everything is clean, simple and practical. All employees super friendly. It was also ideal for us that we could prepare breakfast ourselves (fridge, kettle, everything there) and the sunny terrace - wonderful!

Lisa and Maria are super lovely girls! Always friendly and helpful. Since there is “only” breakfast here, there is a “self-service bar”. Kettle, microwave, water, kettle for tea and a coffee pad machine with pads (all included in the price). I think it's great! I often warmed myself up in the evenings 👍The rooms are very clean and equipped with the most important things. Mine was a bit crooked from the bottom though, which doesn't matter! I thought it was cool!😄 Located in the quaint building. Which, by the way, is very comfortable. The location is great! 500m to Edeka and 5 minutes by car to Aldi. 10 minutes on foot from Kochelsee and a little over half an hour by car from Walchensee. There is also a guest card. With this you can travel for free on some bus and train lines and sometimes get discounts. There is even a bus that goes to Garmisch-Patenkirchen. Hammer!!! The train station is in front of your nose 👌

We were there for a week and left very satisfied. All the ladies were always helpful, friendly and had an open ear for every question. Every morning there was a delicious and rich breakfast that was set up as a buffet. The hotel also has a large roof terrace with a beautiful view of the mountains. The rooms were clean, comfortable and cleaned every day. Unfortunately the wet room in our room (3) was relatively small. But we got along. However, tall and corpulent people could have difficulties. But that is only a very small minus. The train station is directly opposite the hotel and with the guest card you can explore the area by bus for free. We had a lovely time in Kochel and at the Hotel Waltraud and felt comfortable and welcome. We will definitely come back again.Thank you. Kai Schoenwald and Simone Baumann
