Fodor's Expert Review Hotel Zur Post Garni-Andechs

Not far from the Andechs Monastery, everything about this B&B is Bavarian country style, clean and functional, with solid-pine furnishings. There's a butcher shop with local wild venison, and even a Trachten store with modern takes on traditional clothing. A delicious breakfast buffet will prepare you for a long day of touring, and the large garden is lovely for relaxing in on your return. There's free parking.

If you're lucky, you'll get a view of the deer grazing nearby, completing the countryside feel (probably not a great idea to look at how cute they are directly before buying some delicious venison in the butcher shop...)

room

There's a range of types of room, from singles right up to a suite and studio, but all are roomy, comfortable and welcoming, continuing the pine look and the hunting decor.

YOU SHOULD KNOW Vegetarians be warned: the hotel's hunting heritage is proudly displayed, including mounted animal heads on the walls, etc.

bathroom

Bathrooms are generally of a reasonable size, and spotlessly clean.

lobby

The lobby boasts a cute wooden 'Rezeption' desk (often manned by cheery staff in traditional Bavarian costume--not all speak English, but most do, and you will be understood).

dining

There's no on-site restaurant but the hotel's breakfasts are delicious, a huge, hearty homemade spread with everything from cakes to meats.
