Hotel-Pension Marienhof - Bad Tolz, Germany 

We stayed at the hotel pension marienhof which was only a 10 minute walk from the town centre. What a find, a traditional bavarian chalet style building and the rooms were lovely. Beautifully decorated and impeccably clean. The hotel is small but of all the hotels we stayed in during the world cup in June all over Germany this was the best by a mile and reasonable value. A generous buffet breakfast in a beautiful breakfast room. The only slight fault we had was that we only ever saw any staff in the morning although you could call staff at other times if needed. We never needed to. Bad Tolz itself is a lovely little town and we will definitely go back. The Alpamare water park is a great experience with plenty of fun for the young including one pool where you can try to ride the surf on a board and plenty of more relaxing spa pools with underwater music and plenty of bubbles for us older people! The Tegernsee lake is less than an hour away on the bus and Munich is less than an hour away on the train. So you really can have the best of all worlds in Bad Tolz. I would imagine it is even better as a base if you have a car which we did not have. We went for the World Cup but we will defintely go back some time and we will look no further than the Marienhof for our hotel.
