My boyfriend and I just stayed here for 3 nights. The location is equal distance between both town centers. There is lots of shopping, restaurants, and grocery stores nearby. We walked everywhere. We drove from Stuttgart and parking is free on the property. The train station is a 7 minute walk to the hotel. Stephan, at the front desk is a jovial, helpful fellow. Stephan speaks perfect English, which is good, because we only speak a few words of German. The other gal who works the desk was helpful and directed us to a great place for dinner and to the bier garden. She also bakes these delicious cakes which are served at breakfast. The breakfast is amazing and consists of a wonderful selection of meats, cheeses, breads, fresh fruit, hard boiled eggs, beverages, yogurt, and the CAKE! Our room was comfortable and overlooked a main street. The room was quiet, has black out curtains, and has a balcony with chairs. We never found the chance to swim in the inviting pool. They also have free wireless service. We would stay here again.

As a family, we have stayed at the Roter Hahn several times over the last few years for our annual ski trip to Garmisch. The location of the hotel is one of the best I have seen in 12 years going to Garmisch. It is only a short walk to the station and not far to the central shopping area.

The hotel has everything you need, great lounge, ski storage, fantasic pool and sauna and comfortable rooms. I know some reviews have highlighted small rooms, but I have stayed in all the different sized rooms there and even the smallest was big enough for two.

This hotel represents great value for money and I would highly recommend it for a high level of service. We always arrive really late and the owners are always accommodating!

Great service - great location - great facilities - highly recommended

we had a family with 1 boy of 6 years old staying at this hotel for 4 nights at the end of December 2010. The family was very impressed by the services provided by the hotel, the friendly staff and athmosphere. The hotel is in the center of the town of Garmisch, very close to the train station and has a lot of restaurants and shopping area near by.

There are so many positive aspects about Hotel Roter Hahn. First, it is very easy to make a reservation with a direct e-mail. The location is very central, with easy walking access to the downtown pedestrian zone that has shopping and an array of wonderful restaurants. Upon check-in we were given a "pass" that allows for bus rides all over the city and discounts to various attractions. We had a car, so we just used the discount portion of the card. There is an indoor swimming pool and sauna that is just wonderful after an active day of skiing or hiking. Both on the first floor where our room was as well as the ground floor, there was a "living room" with couches & tables and chairs where you can relax and read, or have a drink at the end of your day.

Our room had a balcony with a wonderful view of the mountains. The bathroom was spacious by European standards with a large tub and shower combo. Breakfast is included with the room.....wow what a wonderful buffet! More than you can imagine. Juice, cereals, yogurt, a variety of fresh fruit, dried fruit, a large variety of cheese (a great way to try out new cheeses every day!), various cured meats put out every morning, soft boiled eggs, bread for toasting and a large basket of wonderful baked breads. Free flowing coffee and tea! You get the idea? A great way to start the day when you have a big day of skiing and/or hiking ahead of you.

The owners Stephan and Julie Emslander are wonderful hosts, and make your stay very enjoyable.
