Detailed Reviews
We stayed early September 2020 (during the pandemic) and were made to feel very safe. The hotel had made good plans for the breakfast room to ensure everyone was protected, and kept away from each other. The breakfast selection was great. The hotel is up a large hill, so either have a car, or use an e-bike (can be arranged at the hotel), as they are not offering their shuttle service at the moment. There is a footway (treppenweg) from Tegernsee town, which avoids walking a long way round up the road, look for the yellow signs. We stayed in the Berghaus (which is the self-catering building) although our room rate included breakfast, and had a lovely 1 bed apartment, with comfortable bed, with balcony. The shower was a little tired, and not thermostat controlled so the temperature went up and down a little, but we coped. It had a well fitted out kitchen (though we didn't use it), and hotel provided bottled water each day. All the staff were extremely friendly, and helpful (even with my shameful lack of speaking German). We'll stay here again if in the area.

Dear guests, a perfect stay for you is a perfect treat for us! We think the way you first saw the „killer view“ over the lake Tegernsee and the Tegernsee valley is fantastic. Thank you for the lovely review and we are so glad that you enjoyed your stay. You mentioned all the things that make us smile. Terrific lake views, delicious breakfast, extremely friendly staff and a comfortable stay. Just what we love to hear! Please come back and see us again. The view will be just as spectacular the second time around! Kind regards, Dr. Andreas Greither - Owner

We spent a wonderful weekend at the Westerhof. We have been there several times and are always impressed by the beautiful setting, the friendliness and courtesy of the staff, the exceptional breakfast - in summer on the terrace, with the picture-perfect view of the lake and the surrounding mountains.
This time we got an upgrade to a suite, and it was really beautiful.
Many thanks to the boss for that.
We are looking forward to our next vacation at the Westerhoff, best wishes, the Schwaibold family

We booked at short notice and found it simply wonderful. Our room had 2 balconies and a view of the lake. The staff were very helpful with hiking and cycling tours and super friendly. We were able to borrow the e-bike for free.
Breakfast on Sundays included white sausages and everything your heart desires.
The location was brilliant for us. It's about a 15-20 minute walk from the brewery and it's a steep climb, but we thought the view was fantastic.
The hosts are just really keen to make their guests happy.

This is the best place to stay if you want a clean room with a spectacular view of Tegernsee. Also included is one of the best breakfast buffets we’ve ever had in our travels to Germany. They have assorted meats, smoked salmon, fruits, assorted jellies, the best coffee and more. I highly recommend this hotel and we would definitely stay here again.

So charming, so loving, so detailed! Dear guests, thank you very much for your extraordinary description of your personal favorite Westerhof moments and for your recommendation. Tripadvisor users and new Westerhof guests will be grateful. How nice that you appreciate the popular Westerhof gourmet breakfast buffet including a "killer view" on Lake Tegernsee, which is actually available from all room categories in the main building. Our guests will find a rich variety of specialties from local and regional producers on the breakfast buffet. We are so happy to hear that you particularly enjoyed “your room” and that you especially liked the cleanliness of the hotel. We would be delighted to see you again and wish you and your family all the best in the meantime! Sunny greetings from the Tegernsee Valley, Dr. Andreas Greither - Owner Translated with DeepL.com (free version)

My family and I recently stayed at Der Westerhof. We so enjoyed our stay. The staff were very friendly, the rooms were clean, and a delicious breakfast was served every morning. We had a gorgeous view of lake Tegernsee from our room. We would definitely recommend Der Westerhof for a stay in Tegernsee.

I very much liked this hotel and would return. But I do have two complaints. First, often when I visited the front desk either a) no one was there, or b) there was a long line of guests. Second, the breakfast starts at 8 am. This is a place where many guests want to hike in the morning or need to leave early. When I was there, guests were lingering around the buffet around 7:30, finally people started serving themselves around 7:45. The staff looked a bit flustered. But here is an idea. If 10% of your guests want to eat before 8, it's not them who are early, it is you who are late.

We were made very welcome from the minute we arrived and this continued when we were shown our room which was not only beautiful but had amazing views of the lake. Fittings were of very high quality and we had a great nights sleep topped off by a fabulous breakfast with attentive staff and vast selection. We wished we had been there for more than one night and would happily go back. There is no restaurant on site but there is a great place 5 mins walk away that the staff recommended to us. To get the views the hotel is at the top of the hill which didn't worry us but depends what you want to do. The hotel has range of spa facilities which we wished we had had time to try.

My sister and I spent a night here last summer during a holiday in Bavaria and wish we could have stayed longer. The hotel is a little ways up a hill overlooking the lake, and a car is recommended for the drive into town. The rooms were excellent, well decorated, and spacious. They have private balconies that overlook the lake, and very nice bathrooms. We had breakfast on the terrace in the sunshine overlooking the lake. The staff was excellent - extremely helpful, welcoming, and courteous.

Hello Rajan, thank you for planning to visit the hotel in October. Distance between train station and hotel is approx. 1.5 km. Please keep in mind, that it is not possible to walk with luggage up to our hotel due to the fact, that the hotel is situated around 150 m high above the train station. Our advise is to take a taxi for transport. The fare is about 8.00 EUR. There is no hotel shuttle available. Looking forward welcoming you! Kind regards from Tegernsee
Hello Rosemary,
thanks a lot for your interest in our hotel. At the moment we
do not run a restaurant for lunch or dinner at the hotel opening an a daily basis. But a few weeks ago we opened a new restaurant in Tegernsee at "The Point", which is called "Westerhof Café im Stieler-Haus". This place offers breakfast, lunch, coffee and dinner on a daily basis - a nice alternative to the other restaurants in Tegernsee. Besides that, you can find the restaurant "Lieberhof" serving local food close by in walking distance.
Please feel free to get in contact with us via E-Mail.
Have a wonderful day and sunny greetings from lake Tegernsee.
Your reception team from "Hotel Der Westerhof"
