Gasthof Fraundorfer

Our group had a wonderful holiday at this hotel. We felt cared for every single moment. Andrea is an incredibly friendly and warm-hearted person – she helped us with all our questions, gave us great ideas on how to spend our time, shared stories about the hotel and the family, and we laughed together from the heart. The hotel is located in a 10 minute walk from railway station. It has a plenty restaurants and shops around. The hotel is very cozy and has a special Bavarian charm. You can feel that every detail in the interior has been chosen with love, and each time you notice something new. The breakfast was rich and varied. In the evenings, we enjoyed live music, entertainment program, and amazing food – just keep in mind that the portions are very generous! Absolutely every member of the staff was cheerful and welcoming, creating a warm atmosphere that made us feel truly expected and appreciated. We also noticed that many locals chose to stay at the hotel, which says a lot. Andrea and Barbara – we would come back to you in a heartbeat!

What can’t be said about this wonderful Gasthof. We spent three nights there and felt like family. The staff were all friendly and helpful, especially Andrea. Very welcoming and I can tell she’s proud of her family’s establishment. I very much enjoyed hearing her tell the story of the hotel/restaurant. Breakfast every morning was lovely, and while we only ate dinner there once, it was also excellent. Great food, and live Bavarian music and entertainment. 10/10 location, 10/10 hospitality, would absolutely stay here again next time we are in the Garmisch area. Parking area is small and a bit tight (and costs a few euro per night), but that should be expected.

If I could give 10 stars, I would. Driving in we were greater by Barbara who asked us to meet her in the restaurant. We checked in there and made our dinner reservations. We sent to our room, in a separate building. Walking into the room was like walking into a Time Machine. The air smelled of cedar wood. The family that owns the place give amazing hospitality.

What a wonderful little slice of heaven in old Bavaria. This place is absolutely a gem. The dinner menu was fantastic, though just a little pricey...but you get great entertainment and the food is top notch. You get what you pay for...big plates, for sure. It was always packed full, so make sure to book a reservation. Breakfast is a wonderfully personal treat and had everything you'd expect of a European style breakfast. The sisters Fraundorfer run the place and do so splendidly. There are three lodging buildings, so inquire so your needs are met. I think the two back buildings are more modern and upscale from the main gasthof. Most comfortable bed we stayed in our entire trip to Bavaria/Austria. There is parking on site at 6 euro a night. Shopping on Ludwigstrasse is fairly slim. Best shop is the chocolate shop just across the street...amazing. Marienplatz isn't far away and there are many more shops/restaurants there. Definitely try the Shaka Burgerhaus joint, it was fantastic! There are no XMAS stores around. Closest is Oberammergau, which is a great little town to visit/shop in. I highly recommend this place for a real, authentic taste of Bavarian culture. Wi-Fi was excellent. No AC, but the alpine evenings are cool and the doors tilt open, so it was very comfortable at night. Extremely clean. Very satisfied with our stay.

We stayed at Gasthof Fraundorfer for two nights during our January ski trip and had a wonderful experience at this family-run hotel. The location couldn't be better - right in the center of town with convenient parking available at the back of the property. Our room was simple but perfectly comfortable, featuring cozy beds and a spotlessly clean bathroom with excellent shower pressure. Everything we needed was within walking distance, including supermarkets just 5 minutes down the road. The real highlight was the restaurant with its authentic live music and entertainment - it truly made us feel like we were experiencing the heart of Bavaria. The atmosphere was fantastic and added so much character to our stay. At around €100 per night, this represents excellent value for a destination village during peak winter season. We'd definitely recommend Gasthof Fraundorfer to anyone looking for an authentic Bavarian experience in Garmisch-Partenkirchen.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

We only dined here. Had a wonderful evening. Food was fantastic as was the service. Despite if being easter and fully booked they still managed to find us a space. Very highly recommended

Food is absolutely delicious, and the service is amazing thank you for having us even when your kitchen was closed you still accommodated us thank you so much

We loved staying at this hotel!!! Our hostess, Barbara, was charming! She works so hard! The view from our cozy room was amazing, the beds were so comfortable and the food was exceptional! One concerning issue we experienced... a tall waiter was extremely, extremely rude to us one evening during dinner. He might be great at getting orders and bringing food, but he lacks courtesy, tact, and kindness while serving. Other than that, we enjoyed our time and will definitely return, but will probably eat somewhere else in the future.

Large biergarten right off the main shopping area in Garmisch. We shared very good sausage and cold meat and cheese salad. Service was friendly and prompt.

Such an amazing experience. The misses had some jagerschnitzel and I had a port roast with the dumpling. The ambiance was peaceful everyone sits together in a sense haha if you're a small group that is. Later in the night it got PACKED so make sure you have a reservation it will wave you a tad bit of time. I'd say around 1900 (7pm) they had some live German music and some showman came out and did a neat dance I've never seen before. It's the Bavarian experience if you're looking for it. The food was top notch. The dessert was keiserschmarrn. Wow it was delicious.

This restaurant has great food, great service. Especially Bechir he's friendly, hospitable and overall the best of our dinner. We're a group of 46 people on a group tour with Edelweiss Resort and Lodge.

This was an amazing hotel to stay at with a family of 4(2 adults, 2 boys - 6 and 9). The room was cozy and Bavarian picturesque. We had room 16; 14-16 appear to have the best views. We could see the street below us and the Zugspitze and Garmisch ski areas in the distance. Absolutely stunning! Check-in is a bit harder on a Tuesday as the restaurant below is not open and so staffing is minimal. Still, we had no issue coordinating with Barbara for our arrival. The staff are very direct yet also very caring and concerned. Barbara covered everything we needed to know for our stay.......And here comes the best part: You are staying above the best authentic Bavarian restaurant around. We ate both nights they were open. The food is nothing short of phenomenal. We had a lot of standard Bavarian fair - plenty of schnitzels, sauerkraut, and potatoes, but the menu is fairly extensive. Even better were the drinks. German Red wine from the Rhine region, beer, beer, more beer, and of course Schaps!(Don't Screw up and use 2 Ps in Germany!). The "Bier Liquore", is the drink of choice and it is addictive. The staff bring it out in a traditional shot serving board, while the accordion player sings a drinking song whenever a large group orders them. And that brings us to the ambience and entertainment. The walls, ceilings, and tables are covered with Bavarian history. I challenge you to find a more Bavarian restaurant, outside of EPCOT(that's sarcasm). An accordion player belts out the oompah from 7-1030(or later). Bavarian Folk Dancers slap silly from 730 on. Tip both - don't be a putz. This appears to be a family run restaurant with Barbara at the helm. We noticed each evening there was a family table where Barbara and other staff, on breaks, would sit with their relatives and eat and drink. It was really nice to see this way of working, ensuring that people that work almost every evening still get time with family. Breakfast is continental and a bit extra(I think 7 euros). Yes it's lacking hot eggs and bacon, but it's got everything else and then some. Highly recommend it. I'm really happy we stayed at the Fraundorfer and will come back again for sure. Tips for staying in Garmisch: - Rent a car. It would have been a couple hundred bucks more to rent a car but because we skied everyday, use of the town busses added many hours to our trip. If you plan to go over to Fussen to see Neuschwanstein Castle, it's 3.5 hours by train, and the. Another 3.5 back to Munich airport. A car would take you 1 hour from Garmisch to Fussen and then 1hr40 to Munich airport(1hr20 if you like going "Loooooooodicrous speed" on the open parts of the autobahn". I know this because we ended up renting a car to get to Fussen - and yes I Pwned that sucker. - Even if you don't ski, go to the top of the Zugspitze and down into the glacier. It's otherworldly. - If you do ski - skiverleih is the best rental spot by far. We rented in the glacier and returned in town. - Absorb and respect the culture and don't be American tourist putzes - I saw a few. The locals are happy to help you understand their ways. And 19% on the bottom of any bill is TAX, not a built-in tip. These people work hard!

We had a very nice stay in this hotel. The room was comfortable and the view outside of our window was wonderful. I would describe this hotel closest to a bed and breakfast. The breakfast they provided was very nice and the decor you walk past to get to your room has a ton of Bavarian character! There's parking you can use in the back and the hotel provides you with a visitors card Garmisch-Partenkirchen which gives you discounts at restaurants and sites. The only tricky thing here is checking in, the lower half of this hotel is a restaurants - worth checking out - and you check into the hotel in the area where the kitchen is placing its finished plates for the servers to bring to the tables. Needless to say, once I figured that out I had a nice laugh.

Yum. Excellent food and fun. Went there while visiting Garmisch-P last Sunday evening. While the Gasthof is at the very end of the row of restaurants on Ludwigstrasse, it was by far the busiest (a good sign) and it was certainly a good choice. We were greeted immediately and "forbidden" from sitting outside, as we would miss the entertainment. (Schuplattern and accordion). The food was excellent and the service surprisingly good (by European standards). I had roast pork and my guest had veal. Both were delicious. So was the leberknodelsuppe. Overall a wonderful choice and a lovely evening.

A great place to stay. We enjoyed the hotel and the restaurant is awesome as well. Barbara is awesome and we truly enjoyed her honesty and hospitality.

This is certainly not a hotel, This IS a family home and exceptional B&B experience . With Barbara sr, Barbara jr, Elizabeth, Lena , Christian and the staff you will always feel like you are in the comfort of your own home. The views are amazing , the town is beautiful and Fraundorfer is the anchor that holds our trips together. We came here with 2 dear family friends around 8 years ago and it has become one of our favorite family destinations. Now our group has grown to nearly a dozen on this trip .This was our 5th time to Bavaria and I truly can't see staying anywhere else. They are central to everything you could want , from quaint shops to a reliable train station if you desire to venture to the surrounding villages. The mountains are in your backyard, and should you feel the urge to hike, you will never start hungry . The breakfast will get you going !!! But my Favorite are the dinners...Oh My...from tradition Schnitzels to Schweinshaxe and potato dumplings prepared as only a true Bavaria kitchen can. The Pike and trout were delicious as well, not overly seasoned done just right. The menu is extensive but certainly not over bearing. Easy to navigate with english subtitles for American travelers :-) The hardest choice is choosing just 1 for dinner. The music is festive and the Paulaner flows freely ( Christian keeps them coming lol ) . My only regret is i can't give them 6 stars as 5 seems to fall short , they deserve better.
