Prices in the restaurant are good, as is the location. However, the service was so unfriendly that we won't come here again. We were with a baby and my companion went to the toilet briefly after we had already paid. Harsh comment from the waitress when I was waiting at the table with the baby and our backpacks from hiking: “You guys have to clear the table here, there are other people waiting” - outrageous.

There is nothing nicer in terms of staff, hotel, food and the area. We were there for 11 days. The welcome was warm and you felt welcome from the first minute. The staff always went out of their way to ensure that the guests had a pleasant stay.The food was a dream...it's unbelievable what the chef always conjures up from the pot. Despite hiking, I gained 4 kg in the 11 days.I can only say a great holiday and take my hat off to the staff who made it possible to give me such a wonderful holiday in such weather and the 3G rules.I looked at a lot of people and was amazed at how many there are and are already full of grace coming there to get something to eat. Such people don't have to be surprised if the staff comes back. My advice to people like that is to stay at home...no one needs that. If you are looking for a better hotel and don't like the rustic look, you should look for a 5 star hotel. It also costs a lot more... that was for everyone who just complains.We were thrilled and would go there again and again....it couldn't be better for the money....a dream....Thanks to the whole team at the Willy Merkel House.LGAndreas and Corinna

Contrary to other opinions here, we can only give a full recommendation. We stayed here with 2 couples for 2 nights last weekend and are completely satisfied with our choice.Both double rooms were newly renovated with top facilities, our double room with a balcony and a view of Lake Spitzingsee.The rooms were clean, comfortably furnished with a double bed, table, chairs, wardrobe, chest of drawers, sofa bed and television, what more do you need.The great location and the large terrace invite you to eat and drink. The dishes we ordered were sufficient and tasty, and the service was very friendly and quick. We also had very friendly personal contact with the owner couple during our stay.A lot has already been reported about breakfast, enough cheese, sausage, jam, quark, fruit, tomatoes, eggs,...The mountain inn is simply a recommendation and we will use it more often.

Unbelievable attitude from an old man who happened to be the first person who I met.A short, friendly question of a possiblity for a take away food annoyed him so much, that he started shouting at me for absolutely no reason.What ever the answer is, a friendly way to tell would be absolutely enough.Unfortunately I didnt get his name as he literally barked me out of this place.The level of the unprofessional attitude you can read in every message the owner is responding publicly to in the google reviews. (seems like the whole house is trained by the elderly man)For example as you can read in his answer- he would put me in “the list of the worst customers” only because I asked one friendly question which is totally up to their daily business and I was not happy that customer is treated absolutely rude for nothing.And as you wish to talk facts- no problem with that: kitchen is right at the entrance door (which were all open at the time i was there) no deviders, no signs. Anyone can walk in by an accident especially someone older or a child. I am a young woman and it happened to me so easily- i was only looking for someone who works here. If you don’t want that to happen, you should think for a solution.Even more- there is a bar table right in front of you when you enter and this obviously is not a kitchen but beverage area. I was standing in front of this bar table, not behind it , not in the kitchen in front of any food preparation areas. It was an open space easy to be mixed up for a waiting area. Kitchen clearly starts at around the corner on your left side. So you can’t actually blame me that i was only having a walk in your kitchen.Please be so kind and don’t do any more damage to your business writing such rude nonsense answers, better invest time and money for an PR education for yourself at first and also your staff that is up to 21. Century standards. And you, your business and your staff will only benefit from that 100%.As long as you cannot review me as your most horrible 30 seconds guest who entered one corner of your “kitchen” and asked if you do Take aways- for now- thanks for nothing. Bye.

I was a guest at the beautiful mountain inn with my girlfriend for a week. We received a warm welcome and felt comfortable from the first minute. Everything was fine, room, breakfast and the food on the menu. All I can say is, great, great, great.Would stay there again at any time.

We stayed at Spitzingsee for 10 days and ate at the mountain inn several times (for lunch or dinner). The entire staff was very friendly, the food was very tasty and definitely sufficient. No matter whether cake, starters, main courses or dessert. Although only cash payment is possible, there is also an ATM opposite. Therefore this is not a problem.All in all a good address.We would also book a room there if we were on another holiday at Spitzingsee because we liked the family atmosphere.See Jenny, Alex and Tom

Relaxed atmosphere, friendly service even though it was just before closing time. Great view of the lake. My schnitzel came in a double pack and was impossible to make. Saves cooking tomorrow 😁.Can be recommended with a clear conscience. Price/performance is more than suitable, even if I personally find smaller portions for 2 or 3 euros less more sensible.

Unfortunately we can't say anything about the rooms because we didn't sleep here. We were here to eat and it was just perfect. The staff was very, very friendly. The menu wasn't big but there was something for everyone. We couldn't decide, so we took several dishes the plates were very nicely prepared and we wouldn't be disappointed what we were promised visually it was simply delicious we enjoyed it very much a big compliment to the kitchen and of course to the young woman who served us we felt very comfortable with you

I was here spontaneously today on a day trip with my daughter and our dog. The economy is in a great location. We sat comfortably in the shade on the terrace right by the lake.The food was fresh and came in large portions. Juicy schnitzel, huge ice cream sundae and lots of fresh strawberries. The prices are completely reasonable and a small day ticket is more than enough if the quality is as good as it is here.The service was prompt and extremely friendly to children and dogs! The interior has obviously been completely renovated and is very inviting, the sanitary facilities are top!We had a great stay and would come back at any time!

Two great innkeepers welcomed us in an extremely courteous and friendly manner (they were there on motorbikes). Room standard but comfortable bathroom (shower). Breakfast lovingly prepared and completely sufficient. Very well eaten and perfect service. To be honest, I don't understand the bad reviews. Sometimes you get the impression that some people don't know that you are also a guest and that you are dealing with (nice) people. Kind regards from Lower Bavaria

Recommended at any time for a short stop at the lake. Lunch menu is manageable. Light beer: Tegernseer, wheat beer: Schneider. Absolutely ok in terms of price for the location.

A nice large room with a balcony, bathroom with window, everything renovated. Beautiful view of the lake, the town and the mountains. Parking space in front of the door. We were greeted warmly and always served courteously. There is a great breakfast in the morning.After the mountain hike, guests can have a delicious lunch or dinner here.We thank you very much!

We were there on Easter Sunday after a hiking tour and were warmly welcomed on the terrace. The orders were taken and served quickly.The schnitzel was really great, the quality, the way it was presented and the fries, a nice combination!We look forward to the next visit.(If card payments were still possible now, it would be 5.5 stars)Kind regards from Saarland

Great service, cozy atmosphere, delicious food.We had lunch here, then hiked around the lake and then treated ourselves to a delicious apple strudel to replenish the calories we had burned. 😁Both the food on the terrace and the strudel with homemade vanilla sauce were very good, plentiful and cheap.👍🏻The service was very attentive and personable. Thank you very much!And I perfectly understand that the innkeeper grumbles a little in his answers because ungrateful guests distort the overall picture because of unfulfilled special requests or a deliberate attempt to obtain price reductions.I recommend everyone to see for themselves and please write reviews if you liked it so that the image is not distorted unjustifiably.

We were here 2 years ago to eat a delicious schnitzel after a hike around the lake. It was so good that we definitely wanted to come back. This time too, the schnitzels were simply great, the fries were fresh, crispy and well seasoned and the potato and cucumber salad was the best I've ever eaten. All dishes are lovingly prepared - this is unfortunately not always the case, especially with food for the children, but it is here.The staff was very friendly and loved children and the prices were completely reasonable. We thank you for the lovely afternoon and will definitely come back!
