Riessersee Hotel

We enjoyed our stay at the Riessersee hotel very much. We stayed at the seehaus, waking up to the magnificent view of the lake and the mountains. The dinner at the restaurant was delicious. The breakfast spread in the morning was elaborate as well. More importantly, absolutely brilliant staff members made the stay memorable. Thank you. We would love to stay here again in the future.

We had a lovely stay at the hotel. The rooms were comfortable and clean – nothing too fancy, but perfectly fine for a relaxing stay. What truly stood out, though, was the half-board option: absolutely excellent! Every meal was delicious, with a great variety, fresh ingredients, and thoughtful presentation. The service staff in the restaurant were also incredibly friendly and attentive, making each dinner feel special. Would definitely recommend for anyone who values great food as part of their holiday experience!

The first twin room we got had very strong moldy and doggy smell but the staff was very helpful and changed our room. However we couldn’t get a higher floor and instead got double room on the ground floor and bathtub was clogged so it took very long time after shower for the water to drain. It took some time to get this sorted out because we were initially given an upgrade to a bigger room but then were told there was some mistakes and had to go back to reception and get another room. Luckily we were still at the elevator and didn’t need to move our stuff twice. Room’s sound proof could have been better. Dogs are super welcome at this hotel and they provide blanket, water and food bowls and poop bags. Poop bag stations are everywhere around the hotel and also on the trails. Everyone is super friendly and helpful at the hotel. Breakfast is exceptional! A lot of options and fresh fruits. Dogs are not allowed in the breakfast buffet area but you can take your food and go to the other area to sit with your dog or simply leave the dog in the room. They allow that too, which is very thoughtful unlike some other hotels that do not allow dogs staying alone in the room. Parking can be a problem if you don’t want to pay for underground parking especially when you come back late as free outdoor parking is limited during peak season. Riessersee lake is literally next to the hotel and with great view and great hiking trails for morning walk. It also has interesting history of the Winter Olympics. Location is superb if you have a car. Very quiet and away from city up in the mountain and in the nature, but only 5 min drive to go to Garmisch city center. We will definitely come back again.
