Parkhotel am Soier See

This family owned hotel nestles in beautiful Bavaria. The buildings and surrounding area are picturesque and provide stunning views. It is accommodation that requires more than an overnight stay in order to make use of the facilities available. It is a wellness centre. As part of a tour group, we arrived late at night (11.30p.m.) after the Passion Play. Even at this late hour, we were warmly welcomed by the owner offering us a drink! Our rooms had been newly refurbished - "finished yesterday" - so we were asked to notify him of any teething problems. (We discovered that the hand basin in the toilet had not yet been plumbed!) Our accommodation in Haus Josephin was spacious with a large sitting area, bedroom, separate toilet with hand basin and bathroom. The shower was very small. The self service breakfast was very good with a wide selection of items. For us the location was not ideal as we would have preferred to be closer to Oberammergau. As mentioned earlier, this resort is definitely one for a longer "wellness" stay or simply time to enjoy the walks and facilities.

We spent one night at this hotel in Bavaria. In the surrounding location, we were told that it is the best of FOUR hotels. Yes, the food selection for dinner plus the expansive rooms to choose to dine in was quite impressive. In fact, the rooms all seemed to be added on to the building in random order. But it was our room that was a jolt. Yes, a good sitting area with a flat-screen TV. And a good bed. But a questionable bathroom in terms of size and shower. But the more difficult challenge was the lack of a phone in the room, the lack of lights in the hallways, and the lack of light anywhere in the complex. We arrived late at night after the Oberammergau Passion Play and did not get much of orientation in the dark as we made our way to the room. Just not one of our favorites....and if we were not with a tour group, I might have checked out prior to going to sleep. If you do decide to stay, or have to stay because the Passion Play committee has decided that your group will stay here, try to read ALL the comments made in the review and do what you can to mitigate the various issues, e.g. phone in the room, clean and adequate bathroom, staying in the main building that thus gives you light in the halls, etc. Strong suggestion to do your homework. Good luck.

We stayed two nights last week while visiting to see the Passion Play in nearby Oberammergau. The breakfasts were wonderful and our rooms were great with a separate TV sitting room. Enjoyed the views - wish we had spent more time there!
