Superb location, amazing views. The hotel had a very friendly and homey atmosphere, the owner was extremely accommodating and friendly. Also very nice to be able to speak English which can sometimes be a problem in the area. The room was clean enough, the shower was great. The balcony was spacious and has a sunscreen which was great because the weather was very hot. And the view from the balcony was just amazing! There's a communal refrigerator available and a vending machine with cold drinks just outside. The breakfast was delicious!

The only things that could have been better are different beds, even though they were comfortable they were VERY creaky and made quite some noise. If you turn a lot in your sleep expect to wake up a lot. Also there were no toiletries except some soap, which was slightly inconvenient because there's no shop to buy these things nearby.

I stayed at room 7 with great mountain views. What a treat when wake up in the morning and before bed, all the magnificence and the holiness of the snowy mountain bring right in front of my face(as showing in the photo) The room is spotless clean. Great breakfast. Comfy bed and pillows. Quiet area, closer to Eibsee. Though concerned at the very beginning it would be further out of Garmisch-Partenkirchen town centre(which later I personally found too commercial), the hotel location in Gainau is a gem and more of my personal holiday type, away from chaos, and with a taste of traditional Bavaria if you walk around the nearby villages. The owner Christain is lovely and always have content smiles. And thanks for the pretzel I gifted when leaving. Looking forward to coming back at winter time.

It would be ideal if the room is more sound proof, the guest next door didnt sleep till 3am, made noise occasionally.

I am very pleased with my stay at Zum Franziskaner. It is very conveniently located in Grainau, 1- 2 minutes to the bus stop for the bus between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Grainau. Very friendly staff, Mr. Christian is very attentive, explains everything you are interested in calmly and in detail. The breakfast is the same every day, but it is varied and tasty enough. The atmosphere in this guest house is very pleasant, in a Bavarian style. Our room's balcony had a wonderful view of the Zugspitze. Upon check-in, you receive a guest card with which you can travel for free during your stay on the bus to Garmisch-Partenkirchen or to the beautiful Eibsee lake, as well as on the cogwheel train from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Eibsee. WiFi was very good.

Our host Christian was an absolute god-send! He was very patient with all of my questions in my slow German, and gave detailed instructions on the local bus schedule, what discounts the Zugpitze Gast-karte included, and where to find open restaurants in the greater Garmisch/Grainau area during the weekend. The continental breakfasts were refreshing, and although there was no Biergarten, there was a vending machine on location full of .5 L bottles of Spaten and Franziskaner (amongst other varieties) for only 2 Euros each. My wife and I were sad to leave, but Christian sent us off with a gift of two pretzels for the road in a small bag. We will definitely book here again!

good spread for breakfast ie ham, cheese, muesli, yogurt, juice, hard boiled eggs, fruits. Had a basket of rolls on our table and pot of coffee too. Room was clean and spacious. Easy to locate and had free reserved parking lot. Christian was an excellent host :) Had free bus tickets with our names printed valid for the day that we stayed.

the balcony did not have lights, so it was quite dark at night. And the balcony is shared with the next room without any partitioning. Lucky for us, the next room was vacant during our stay :). the staircase was a bit steep going up to the highest floor. No fridge in the room but had one at the 1st floor for sharing.

The rooms are really nice and clean. The location is also very central and only a 20 min walk from the Untergrainau bus station. Christian is really nice and friendly and gave us pretzels on our last day :) plus you get to use the public transport and a lot of services for free or a reduced price! Great value for money!

Christian was such a sweet and kind man. He always greeted us every morning with a smile and good morning. We were given a choice of what rolls we wanted, and they were fresh every morning from the bakery and setting on our table. He recommended a restaurant for dinner and we ate there all four days and it was our favorite meals on our trip. It was great having a reserved spot to park so we never had to worry. When we checked out, Christian gave us each a pretzel to eat on the road. This is one of the many special extras he does. We loved our stay.

Christian is very friendly, breakfast is good en the rooms are nice and clean. We were during the holidays and they made everything so nice, a letter in our room to welcome us, along with a bunch of sweets. And the breakfast was really nicely decorated. Private parking and a basement for your ski's and shoes. It's everything that you need. We even got some pretzels for on the road when we left. Thanks for that! Vielen Dank für alles!

Only thing that could be a little bit better was Wifi 😜.. with everyone in the room and online it was a bit (much) slow.. but hey, if that are your problems you have a pretty good life, right? 😉

The location is great. The staff is extremely nice and helpful. Everything was organized perfectly including a personal parking lot reserved just for us. The rooms are nice and clean. The breakfast is very good. We were even presented with two tickets for the local bus lines for two days of our stay. I don't know if it was the hotel's initiative or the local tourist authoritie's, but it any case it was very nice. BTW, non-German tourists, pay attention, that you must wear FFP2 mask in order to get on the bus!

None

I had the best sleep here. i felt really comfortable. i love how they make the breakfast- they put pure effort into it and I appreciate them well for that. the place is walking distance to the bus station which makes it really accessible. great value for money and really nice staff!! i will definitely go back here even if I have to travel from Berlin! 😀
