Gasthof Zantl

Lovely small hotel, modern and newly renovated (2023) rooms. I stayed here late September 2024 in the Anton suite. It’s a very large room, seperate living area and bedroom, huge modern bathroom. Very charming original details. The breakfast in the Bavarian style restaurant was great. Friendly welcome and service. What a great place. Would definitely recommend!

Very nice hotel. Each room has a different name and we stayed in “Anton Suite” and it was very spacious. Everything in our room looked recently replaced/refurbished. Our room was up two flights of stairs (not an issue for us) but I do not believe there is an elevator. Breakfast was nice and has a very large dining area. Looking at the reviews it appears this might sometimes act as a small restaurant but perhaps that is for certain events or days since it only seemed to provide hotel guests breakfast from what I could see. The lady working the inn seems to do it all but she is not on site 24/7 so there is not a staffed reception desk all the time. She's very nice and was helpful to suggest places for us to check out. From running to office, tidying up rooms, cooking, and landscaping, she does it all. The next door church bell rings hourly (even through the night) and constantly on Sunday morning presumably for their service. This wasn't a concern to us and the double windows in our room helped mitigate some of the noise but I found it quite charming. Parking was free and we parked in the lot out front with about 10 spaces both times. I couldn't read the German signs to tell if it said the parking was for this hotel or NOT for this hotel. Either way, we didn't have a problem. Bäd Tolz is a very charming town and late September seemed to be a perfect time and we lucked out with great weather too. We did have an issue with Booking.com regarding an error on their side (we booked for two people and have a screenshot of the booking page) but the email confirmation says 1 person. Booking.com and the hotel confirmed the correct prices for 1 adult vs. 2 (seems we paid the intended price for 1 adult - but booking.com incorrectly listed it as 2) Booking.com refused to adjust the price and the hotel reasonably charged us the higher price upon arrival as expected and communicated in advance (an extra 200.80 EUR). The price we paid for what we got seemed appropriate so I don't feel cheated, but it was sort of a frustrating experience for the 1 month leading up to our arrival where I felt entitled (in principal) to pay the price I had evidence of. Again, I think Booking.com is at fault, so I am not holding this against the hotel and detracting stars from my review.

I had the suckling pig and according to the price it shouldn't have been a small portion. However I got a really mediocre portion that left me still hungry. Portion was never a problem in Bavaria. The last drop in the bucket was when another table got the same order but double portion (2 knoeddles instead of 1, 3 slices of meat instead of 1.5) Quality of food is also pretty poor, salad quality is same as a prepacked gas station salad. Avoid, there are much better places around. I was baited here because this was the only restaurant mentioned in the Lonely Planet guide.
