    It would be ideal if the room is more sound proof, the guest next door didnt sleep till 3am, made noise occasionally.

    I stayed at room 7 with great mountain views. What a treat when wake up in the morning and before bed, all the magnificence and the holiness of the snowy mountain bring right in front of my face(as showing in the photo) The room is spotless clean. Great breakfast. Comfy bed and pillows. Quiet area, closer to Eibsee. Though concerned at the very beginning it would be further out of Garmisch-Partenkirchen town centre(which later I personally found too commercial), the hotel location in Gainau is a gem and more of my personal holiday type, away from chaos, and with a taste of traditional Bavaria if you walk around the nearby villages. The owner Christain is lovely and always have content smiles. And thanks for the pretzel I gifted when leaving. Looking forward to coming back at winter time.

    Our host Christian was an absolute god-send! He was very patient with all of my questions in my slow German, and gave detailed instructions on the local bus schedule, what discounts the Zugpitze Gast-karte included, and where to find open restaurants in the greater Garmisch/Grainau area during the weekend. The continental breakfasts were refreshing, and although there was no Biergarten, there was a vending machine on location full of .5 L bottles of Spaten and Franziskaner (amongst other varieties) for only 2 Euros each. My wife and I were sad to leave, but Christian sent us off with a gift of two pretzels for the road in a small bag. We will definitely book here again!

    The staff is friendly and can speak English well. The room is slightly tiny but kept very clean and has a balcony with a nice view. Close to Eibsee. You can reach Aldi and Edeka within 10 minutes by car as well. Very good value for money.

    I am very pleased with my stay at Zum Franziskaner. It is very conveniently located in Grainau, 1- 2 minutes to the bus stop for the bus between Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Grainau. Very friendly staff, Mr. Christian is very attentive, explains everything you are interested in calmly and in detail. The breakfast is the same every day, but it is varied and tasty enough. The atmosphere in this guest house is very pleasant, in a Bavarian style. Our room's balcony had a wonderful view of the Zugspitze. Upon check-in, you receive a guest card with which you can travel for free during your stay on the bus to Garmisch-Partenkirchen or to the beautiful Eibsee lake, as well as on the cogwheel train from Garmisch-Partenkirchen to Eibsee. WiFi was very good.

    the balcony did not have lights, so it was quite dark at night. And the balcony is shared with the next room without any partitioning. Lucky for us, the next room was vacant during our stay :). the staircase was a bit steep going up to the highest floor. No fridge in the room but had one at the 1st floor for sharing.

    good spread for breakfast ie ham, cheese, muesli, yogurt, juice, hard boiled eggs, fruits. Had a basket of rolls on our table and pot of coffee too. Room was clean and spacious. Easy to locate and had free reserved parking lot. Christian was an excellent host :) Had free bus tickets with our names printed valid for the day that we stayed.

    Really nice staff and facilities. Breakfast was really good. The town is so nice and to get to the booking you can take the bus right out of the train station and it leaves you a couple of meters from Zum Franziskaner. I used the train also and it's a 20min walk, and a really nice one too.

    Thin and rather abrasive towels seem to be the curse of such pensions, but they did the job

    Helpful host, clean and comfortable room, easy parking, good breakfast and excellent location. Decent if basic, good value accommodation in the spectacular Bavarian Alps.
