This was our first stay in a wellness hotel in Germany and I wasn't expecting half of what we found. The hotel itself is beautiful, a bit of a mix between old style German and modern. We opted for an older room rather than the various newer rooms or chalets and the room was absolutely fine. Spacious, very clean and a fridge. The only thing is, it doesn't have AC which was slightly difficult in 32 degree heat at night. The location is stunning, lots of walks around. We drove 30minutes to Klosterle Shleifer which was stunning. The attention to detail in the hotel also is quite impressive. The breakfast is one of the best I have had outside Asia, very healthy options (the paleo cranberry bread was wonderful), and sparkling wine (not so healthy). We tried lunch once, we hadn't realised this was included (they have two plans, the basic includes breakfast and lunch and another plan which includes dinner). We didn't actually eat dinner at the hotel although I wish we had (I think it was 65€ each). The whole setting is wonderful, with 4 swimming pools, lots of sunbeds, sauna and fitness pavilion (this was mostly cardio machines and lacked more free weights, which would be my only criticism). The staff were also truly wonderful, incredibly friendly. The demographic of guests changed during our stay from more mature in the week to younger couples at the weekend and a few young families. We will hopefully be back soon. One bit of advice, if you plan on doing a bike ride based on their routes, I'd advise taking an e-bike. The standard bikes aren't very robust and it's very hilly!

What We loved: 💞 Service: The staff at Engel Obertal were incredible! Friendly, attentive, and truly embodied luxury hospitality. Food: Wow! From the 5-course meals to the buffets, everything was fresh, delicious, and creative. The chef deserves major kudos! Rooms: Spacious and well appointed rooms in a German traditional style, Pool / Grass area: The property has two large pools great for relaxation and a jacuzzi as well as a nice outside area for relaxation and sunbathing. Areas for Improvement: 🔍 . Spa Treatments: Considering the hotel's price point, I would expect more customization during spa appointments. The ability to choose a male or female therapist, or being informed if only one gender is available, would be a big plus. Massage Quality: The massage treatments I received (lymphatic drainage and during my facial) felt weak compared to what I'm used to. Additionally, some pressure points weren't addressed. Treatment Room Ambiance: The rooms were quite bright with no eye masks provided, making it difficult to fully relax. They also faced an outside lounge area, so noise easily came in, especially with open windows.

“Fine hotel should be more clear and transparent”

Overall good service and wellness. Fine selection of fitness courses. Several points of concern or for improvement. For breakfast we ordered Benedict egg and were asked to pay 5 eur surcharge. This is not much but not normal for a five star hotel. We booked half board for 3 adults and 1 teenager… Mais

Overall good service and wellness. Fine selection of fitness courses. Several points of concern or for improvement. For breakfast we ordered Benedict egg and were asked to pay 5 eur surcharge. This is not much but not normal for a five star hotel. We booked half board for 3 adults and 1 teenager. The website and confirmation of the hotel led us to believe that it is for all the guests however they told us at the hotel that the half board is only for adults. This is misleading the consumers and lacks transparency. They refer to some “small print” that people would not normally pay attention to.
