Grand Hotel Sonnenbichl

Great service, awesome view of the Alps from our room (3 windows!), very quiet (soundproof windows), very nice pool and sauna areas, lots of parking, inviting lobby, 20 min walk from city center. We stayed in the older part of the hotel, so the hallways smelled a little funny, but the room was ok. Breakfast was unimpressive for the price, toiletries were scarce, and the pillows were small. Overall, we had a great time there, I recommend this hotel!

The hotel was clean and the staff was friendly. We had trouble connecting to the wireless Internet service. We didn't buy the breakfast due to the price per person of 15 Euros.

Overall, the hotel was nice. Our bathroom lights constantly flickered and it surprised us that the cleaning personnel did not report it to get them fixed. We were only there two nights so it was fine. The pool was very nice and the location was good.

This hotel was built in the 1800's although has gone through many changes including a military hospital during the war. It has been renovated and kept up. The pool area is very nice. There is an elevator although it is not modern one and I found taking the stairs much easier. The room was very large and the hotel staff friendly and spoke english well.

We were amazed at the size of our rooms and the fantastic view of the mountains. These hotel is an excellent value. Staff were very helpful. The lobby was exquisitely furnished. I would love to return.

Lovely hotel. I booked 2 rooms. One was large in size while the other was very small. Not sure if I am paying the same money for both why the difference in room size.

Great facilities and comfort. Very luxurious

Very nice hotel, and helpful staff. The Hotel has two restaurants (although they share the same menu). The breakfast buffet had a nice selection. Our room had a view of the Alps, which was fantastic! The only downside was that it's not within walking distance to the core of town, which is about a 10 minute drive, and then trying to find a parking space can be challenging.

Pros: Beautiful view off of the patio. You can see all 4 peaks of the Alps. Very friendly and helpful staff. Dry and wet sauna. Pool was warm and relaxing. Bed was very comfortable. Bathroom was clean. Lift was essential for us because we were skiing all day and legs just could not take walking up 3 flights of stairs with bags. Cons: Forced "guest tax" that was offset by free use of mass transit and other services/businesses in town. Not close to skiing or other attractions but view more than makes up for that. Hotel is old but still in good shape. No hot tub. There is a bubble jet area in the pool, but a hot tub would have been perfect after skiing all day. Overall, this was a good hotel. We basically only needed a bed and a hot tub since we were only in Garmsich for 1 day to ski. We had our own transportation, so the guest pass was not needed and felt like we were being squeezed for a few extra Euro per guest per night. I would stay here again and would recommend it.

I recommend going to Garmisch for skiing and snowboarding but stay some where else.The restaurant is not very good. We ate there 3 times during our five day stay for convienience due to the bus schedules. Each time we were dissapointed with our meals. On the last day we had breakfast before we left which was really dissapointing with old food on the buffet and only half of the food availble, with staff not willing to put any new food out. Also cleaning was a bit average as our sheets were not changed during the 5 day stay.
