Explorer Hotel Garmisch

I had stayed at a different Explorer Hotel before and was very happy to see that one of their newest properties was in the Garmisch-Partenkirchen area. The room is spacious and well appointed with a very comfy bed, a window seat and plenty of power outlets. There's a safe, too, which was big enough for my 15" laptop. The bathroom is a good size with a good shower, only downside is that the water tends to run out a bit. I especially appreciated having a balcony with a view of the mountains. Check-in was smooth and the staff were very friendly and welcoming. When I arrived, there was plenty of parking available outside, though this did change during the week when a few companies held events there. But there were still many parking spots left in the garage, just a more expensive than outside. Breakfast was excellent and served until 10:30, which I made use of once. I loved the regional products, the variety of bread and rolls. The one thing that could improve is to have Weisswurst, at least at the weekend. The bar had reasonably priced drinks as well and a good selection, but could get a little busy. I used their "sport spa" area once, it has a little gym, an infrared cabin, steam room and a sauna as well as showers. It's lovely, but I think better in winter. One thing I have to mention: Their fire alarm works really well. There was a false alarm during my first night there. It was very loud (as it should be) and I was awake in an instant. The fire brigade came really quickly and let us back into the hotel within 30 minutes of the fire alarm starting. A big Thank You to those guys, as I know they are likely all volunteers. The hotel is a little outside of Garmisch-Partenkirchen in Farchant, but close to the train station. While the hotel only serves from a limited menu, there are a few restaurants around. Some of the outside is still not finished, but as this property is only a few months old it didn't bother me. Will definitely return to this property next time I holiday in this area.

We have spent two nites in the hotel. Our overall experience was positive, with a few remarks. The positive points can be resumed as: Kind and attentive staff Comfy bed Excellent breakfast The not so good ones were: Check out 10:30 Our room was right above the A/C system

Hotel war Phänomenal aber die Öffnungszeiten von der Sauna sind katastrophal. Alles andere war fantastisch und einmalig.

Es ist ein wunderschönes Hotel. Achtung: Da die Sauna nur von 17:00 -21.00 Uhr geöffnet ist werde ich nicht mehr buchen., Gerade nach der Bergwanderung geht Mann ins Resturant und danach in die Sauna. Die Zeit lässt es nicht zu! Saunahäste waren auch richt sauer dort drüber..

Wie schon in den Explorer Hotels in Berchtesgaden und Oberstdorf, waren wir bereits mehrfach, ist das Garmischer ebenfalls ganz gut. Von der Buchung bis zum Ein- und Auschecken weiss man was man bekommt. Die Mitarbeitenden sind hilfsbereit, locker, aber auch präzise. Die Zimmer sind in allen Explorer Hotels gut, sauber und bequem, man findet alles was man erwartet in guter Qualität. Parkplätze gibt es für kleines Geld, ein Euro pro Tag. Frühstück absolut in Ordnung. Für Biker, Skifahrer und Tourengaenger immer eine gute Wahl.

Tolles Hotelkonzept. Alles sehr zweckmäßig aber trotzdem gute Atmosphäre. Saunabereich sehr schön. Gute Idee keine große Speisekarte zu haben um die umliegenden Restaurants zu unterstützen. Frühstück perfekt. Sehr nettes Personal!
