Fit Vital Aktiv Hotel Das Ludwig

Modest family hotel in the middle of golf haven of Bad Griesbach. We came here several years ago when the kids were younger and they enjoyed the football camp as well as the local area. The football camps are well and very much grass roots teaching not only skill but mental focus. There were also lots of kids doing the kids club which they did a great job hosting and a handprint wall which still had our kids’ hand prints from their last visit! The rooms at the hotel were old and dated although we saw on the website that there were some renovated rooms available. We had a suite for ourselves (which was simply two rooms and a connecting door all opened up and second bed removed) and a standard room for the children. The key cards were on a wrist lanyard and surprisingly had the room numbers on each card so if you lost your card – anyone could come to your room and get in. The food at the hotel was pastas and pizzas for lunch and steamed veggies, lots of potatoes and grilled meats for the meals. There were cheeses and bread and a small salad buffet on offer as well as ice cream and a bit more interesting desserts for dinnertime. We were not impressed with the standard of food as it often feels like one notch above canteen food so we often made our way to other resorts (via the resort’s dine around program) to try other hotel restaurants but found they were not significantly better. We went to restaurants in nearby towns which was markedly better. I am not saying there was anything wrong with the food – it just was not our speed and we preferred strong and more interesting & complex flavours. Service in the hotel seems to have suffered a bit with disinterested staff working in the dining rooms and around the property. The front desk and the kids club (Mr Detlev in particular was amazing) teams were always very helpful but everyone else did not seem to be particularly happy. In these such hotels, we normally can identify who is in charge of the property and overseeing everything but it seems this hotel was taken over by a consortium which may have taken the personality out of the place. We were disappointed in our visit and do not expect to visit again. There are other hotels in the area which have superior offerings in terms of service and food standard and with our children being a bit older, we will consider those for our next golf holiday to Bavaria.

Das Hotel macht einen sehr guten Eindruck und man wird sehr freundlich an der Rezeption empfangen. Lediglich im hoteleigenen Parkhaus sollten ein paar Verbesserungen zum Beispiel am Fußboden (Stolperfallen) vorgenommen werden. Wir waren auch mit den Speisen und Getränken sehr zufrieden und auch die Wellnessoase ließ keine Wünsche offen.

O io ho una idea diversa di un hotel 4 stelle o sono capitato nella serie fantozziana: - all’arrivo nel pomeriggio la camera aveva una temperatura di 30 gradi: tende non tirate, esposta al sole, senza aria condizionata. Nessuna possibilità di cambio; - non ci è stata rifatta la stanza dopo la seconda notte e, alla segnalazione in reception, la risposta in un inglese/tedesco a gesti (non abbiamo trovato personale che parlasse inglese) è stata: non sappiamo perché non sia stata rifatta. E soprattutto non hanno provveduto a rifarla dopo la segnalazione. Ovviamente nessuno sconto per il disservizio - cucina pessima - ⁠non mi hanno fornito il cartellino che la reception del golf mi ha chiesto, dimostrante che avevo già pagato il green fee in Italia. Al golf invece hanno risolto facilmente il problema Parlando con altri ospiti che si sono dichiarati “abituali” ci è stato riferito che la struttura è frequentata solo da tedeschi (prevalentemente?) e negli ultimi anni è scaduta.
