Würmtaler Gästehaus

Hotel Description

You know what? The Würmtaler Gästehaus is one of those places that completely surprised me – in the best way possible. I’ll be honest, when I first pulled up, I wasn’t expecting much from a 3-star spot, but this little gem tucked away in the Würmtal valley actually gets it right where it matters most.

The thing that struck me immediately was how quiet everything was, which makes total sense once you realize you’re properly nestled in this gorgeous Bavarian valley setting. I mean, you’re still close enough to Munich that you’re not stranded in the middle of nowhere, but far enough out that you can actually hear birds instead of traffic when you wake up. The owners – and I’m pretty sure they live on-site – clearly put thought into the details. My room had this really comfortable bed (honestly, I slept better than I have in months), and the bathroom was small but spotless with one of those rainfall showerheads that actually works properly. The whole place has this authentic Alpine feel without being kitschy about it – no fake antlers or overly cutesy decorations, just clean lines and that warm wood paneling that feels genuinely cozy.

What really won me over though was the breakfast situation. They set everything up in this bright dining room overlooking the valley, and it’s not your typical hotel buffet disaster. Fresh local bread, proper German cold cuts, eggs cooked to order if you ask nicely. The coffee was actually good – I know that sounds like a low bar, but you’d be amazed how many places mess that up. Parking was dead simple (free, right outside), and check-in was this refreshingly straightforward process with someone who actually seemed happy to see guests arrive. The whole operation feels family-run in the best possible way – they know what they’re doing, they care about doing it well, but they’re not trying to be something they’re not. I’d definitely stay here again, especially if I wanted to explore the area around Starnberg or just needed a proper break from city chaos. For the price point and that 8.2 rating, it makes complete sense – this is the kind of place that does the basics really, really well.

Hotel in Munich booking should be done early, especially during Oktoberfest when the city hosts the world’s largest beer festival and cultural celebration.

Reviews

  nice hotel, nice rooms, very good breakfast, cordial people

• Stephanie from United Kingdom – 23 October 2024 (9/10)

  I’ve known this property since my childhood and there is something very comforting in its long survival in a location with few hotels. It has seen many upgrades and remains a solid, trustworthy, clean, quiet, traditional, and excellent establishment which I will continue to choose.

• Helga from United States – 16 June 2024 (9/10)

  Close to the s bahn to get into Munich. Close to my relatives house.
  
  What could be improved: Nothing, it was all good.

• Kira from United States – 10 June 2023 (9/10)

  Nice hotel.

• Abhishek from Germany – 13 March 2023 (9/10)

  The breakfast was exemplary. The food was freshly prepared and delicious. Its been a long while since I have had such tasty breakfast. I have had good breakfasts at several hotels, but this was certainly a notch better
  
  What could be improved: The wifi connection was really poor. I could not get a lot of work done at the hotel.

• Eden from United States – 7 July 2022 (9/10)

  What a lovely hotel….the Staff was so welcoming. We really enjoyed Tony, Angela and their dog, Emma (see photos). They were so nice and surprised us with a lovely note, chocolates and a nice champagne upon arrival! The room is great and there is a bar area in the reception and outdoor seating area so it's nice to have space to go outside of the room, too. There is also a good breakfast and plenty of off-street parking. but mostly – its is so comfortable and the owners and staff are so nice. We sat on the private patio area and enjoyed the evening…
  
  What could be improved: this is Europe and it is warm in the summer – perhaps a fan in the room would be a nice addition. Otherwise it is perfect.

• Anthony from United States – 8 October 2023 (8/10)

  Rooms were well kept and clean. The property is old, but they try their best to remodel and keep furniture, furnishings and fixtures up to date. Our room came with a mini-fridge, and was decently equipped. The breakfast was fairly decent, I would say 4 out of 5. You could get eggs cooked to order, but the rest of the offerings were the same every day. It would be nice to have some kind of breakfast potatoes or hashbrowns, too! The quality of the food was excellent, though!
  
  What could be improved: The property doesn't have a microwave on the property at all. It'd be nice to have one to use to reheat a leftover meal for lunch of dinner.

• David from Australia – 5 October 2023 (9/10)

  Decent distance to the S6 train station Lochham. Nice clean room
  
  What could be improved: Nothing
