Review summary

Based on recent reviews

The Riessersee Hotel enjoys a stunning location next to a picturesque lake with breathtaking mountain views, making it a great starting point for hikes. Guests consistently praise the spacious rooms, some featuring a separate living area or even a split-level layout, and many appreciate the spa facilities. The breakfast buffet receives high marks for its wide variety, catering to diverse dietary needs with gluten-free and baby-friendly options; while most find the location ideal, some guests have noted it being a bit of a distance from the Garmisch-Partenkirchen town center.
