Pension Bavaria Mittenwald

We loved Hotel Bavaria. Lovely room with a balcony, great scenery, friendly proprietors. It was a bit of a walk from the train station, but the walk back was quicker because we knew where we going. When we got to the hotel, no one was there to greet us. A young girl who lived there found someone to help us after awhile. The lady who finally arrived apologized and said she was the only one there to greet people and make up the rooms. Regardless, we got our room which was what we wanted. A problem occurred that night when a group of 9 Germans, who must have been on a guys' weekend, came in. They were drinking in the lounge right below us. We go to bed early, but we were afraid that they'd be going on into the wee hours. Not to worry, they were sent to their rooms in the other building finally. The next morning we had a fantastic breakfast with a very helpful host. He even called the ticket office at Zugspitz to make sure there were tickets available. Side note: Zugspitz is not worth it for the cost. Unfortunately, we were not told of the local pass that the hotel provides for area transportation and ended up paying for our train tickets to Garmisch-Partenkirchen. Quiet night that night. The boisterous men were relegated to drinking in the garden and did not bother us. The next morning, the same helpful young man helped us with hiking options. He said our pass would give us a free chairlift ride up or down the mountain. Oops, we said; we never got the pass. Long story short, we got the pass and had a glorious hike. By the time we got to Mittenwald, we were ready for a break from traditional German food. There is a supermarket between the pedestrian downtown area and the pension. We ended up buying prepackaged salads and eating on our balcony. We picked up a couple of beers from the local brewery to drink with dinner. Good choice. I would give Hotel Bavaria 5 stars if not for the mix up with our arrival, not getting the passes when we checked in and the delayed response to the noisy German men. I'm sure your experience there will be perfect. I strongly recommend Hotel Bavaria!!
