We stayed in this hotel with my wife 16 days in July 2007. We did the Schrothkur - the original Dr. Schrothkur treatment that you can find a lot about it. The idea was to combine the vacation with the medical necessity to loose weight, shape up and clean the body and soul. It is not a place for young people and the hotel is patronized mainly by Germans and Austrians looking for a health and wellness holidays.

Oberstaufen is the official place where the Dr. Schroth treatments are given and there is a big number of houses of all types that offer that. See at www.oberstaufen.de for the official site of the town that gives more detail.

I made a thorough research and the choice was the Rosenalp as a clear quality for money winner. After arriving to Oberstaufen I checked the other candidates and I saw that that I made the best choice.

This is a family hotel and Mr. Schaedler, the manager and owner as well as the rest of the staff are extremely helpful and efficient. We took a south facing double (the most expensive one) room and we were please with everything. we had a separate bath and toilet , walk in closed, sitting area, fast internet and all that on almost 45 square meters. they have from small singles to 75 sqm apartments.

The hotel is run at a 5 star level although it is only "4 Superior". There is a huge wellness area with saunas, indoor and outdoor pools, baths, hamam etc. In house doctor prescribes the treatments if you want. there is a in house sports trainer that offers an ongoing program from early morning till after lunch including Nordic walking, water gymnastics, gym, guided tours and more.

You can play golf, go cycling or just lay in the sun next to the pool.

Actually there was no need to leave the hotel for the whole 2 weeks.
