Klockerhof

Hotel Klockerhof located in Lermoos is a phenomenally run hotel in the Austrian countryside. My wife and I had the pleasure of staying here for a few days while traveling on our honeymoon throughout the Bavaria/Tyrol area. Reserving a room from the USA was painless and all done via email to the owners which I found easily on their website. From what I learned through my research before booking this hotel is that it has long roots of being a family operation. I believe the father of the current owners opened this hotel and now his kids run it. Their names are Christian and Michaela. Once we arrived we soon realized the Klockerhof hospitality would be something we would not forget. Our trip to Hotel Klockerhof started with a high speed drive (150 MPH+) via the A-95 Autobahn from Munich, Germany. We made stops along the way at places like Ettal Abbey and Linderhof Palace. We took longer than planned on our pit stops so we arrived to Lermoos late; like around 8:00 PM (20:00). At arrival we pulled up in front and could clearly see in the windows people sitting down to dinner eating. We were slightly worried we would missed our first meal which for us was included with our stay. Frantically unpacking and walking into the lobby Michaela was there waiting for us. She greeted us and warmly welcomed us to the hotel. She reassured us we had not missed our dinner and that we could unpack then come back down to the dining room for dinner. She also gave us a quick tour of the hotel and walked us to our room. I was quite surprised she even let me park my car right in front of the lobby! Our stay at Hotel Klockerhof was wonderful. Our assigned waitress, Sisi (spelling ?) who waited on us for dinner. She was excellent and really added to the overall charm of the hotel. She was very friendly and liked talking to us. I might add the whole staff spoke very good English. The food here was excellent but the Tyrolean specialties and other local dishes were the best. My wife always talks about the apple strudel. Our room was nice but I did not like the size of the shower. Maybe I am just accustomed to showers here in the USA but I am 6’ 1” and felt extremely claustrophobic in the shower here. Christian was a great host as well and usually ran the bar at night. He served as a great translator for us when we were chatting with other hotel guests and answering questions we had about the area. The town of Lermoos was great and scenic. The hotel was walking distance to the center of town which has a small variety of shops and resturants. Very close to a lot of things we wanted to drive to such as Neuschwanstein Castle, Zugspitze, etc… Overall, we very much enjoyed our stay and the hospitality. We look forward to our next trip to the region and we have already put this down as a stop as we further explore the area.
