Hotel Description
Honestly, when I first heard the name “Ferienwohnung Gipfelstube 50 a mit Balkon, gute Verkehrsanbindung,” I thought someone was just throwing German words at a wall to see what stuck. But you know what? Sometimes the most awkwardly named places turn out to be exactly what you need, and this little apartment is one of those pleasant surprises that makes you feel like you’ve discovered something the guidebooks missed.
The whole setup is refreshingly straightforward – it’s basically a solid 3-star apartment that doesn’t try to be anything fancy, which I actually appreciate. The balcony (hence the “mit Balkon” in that wonderfully long name) is probably the best feature here. I mean, it’s not huge, but there’s something really satisfying about having your morning coffee out there, especially if you’re lucky enough to get one of those clear mountain days. The “gute Verkehrsanbindung” part isn’t just marketing speak either – the transport connections really are decent, though I’d honestly recommend having the exact address sorted before you arrive since the listing shows “undefined” and trust me, wandering around with luggage trying to decode German apartment numbering isn’t anyone’s idea of fun.
What struck me most was how the place manages to feel properly lived-in without being worn down. The furnishings are that practical European style – clean lines, nothing flashy, but everything works. The kitchen actually has the basics you need (not always a given with vacation rentals), and the shower has proper water pressure, which honestly matters more than most people admit when they’re writing reviews. The rating of 8 out of 10 feels about right – it’s not going to blow your mind, but it delivers on what it promises without any nasty surprises. I noticed the building tends to be pretty quiet, even during what seemed like peak season, which suggests either good soundproofing or considerate neighbors – either way, I slept well. The only minor thing I’d mention is that the Wi-Fi can be a bit spotty in the evening (probably everyone in the building streaming at once), but during the day it’s fine for work calls or uploading photos. If you’re the type who needs everything to be Instagram-perfect, this might feel a bit too practical, but if you want a clean, comfortable base that won’t eat your entire travel budget, it’s actually a pretty smart choice.

Reviews
Tituccio from Italy – 4 December 2024 (8/10)
Well equipped. Clean..
What could be improved: No lift.Eva from Germany – 16 April 2023 (8/10)
Die Wohnung war sauber, hell und nett eingerichtet. Die Betten waren bei Anreise bezogen, auch Handtücher wurden bereit gelegt.
In der Küche befindet sich genügend Geschirr für bis zu 4 Personen, es gibt eine Spülmaschine, Mikrowelle, Kaffeemaschine (Kapsel), sowie Wasserkocher und Toaster. Kostenloses W-Lan inklusive.
Auch die Korrespondenz mit den Vermietern lief super, nette und schnelle Antwort auf meine Fragen.
Wir durften sogar vor 15 Uhr einchecken, alles war soweit in Ordnung.
What could be improved: Das Haus ist ziemlich hellhörig, man hört die Leute neben und unter einem sogar, wenn sie laufen.
Das Haus liegt direkt an einer vielbefahrenen Straße, man hört auch die Außengeräusche extrem (Fußgänger, die sich unterhalten, jede Autobremse, Hupe usw.), es klingt, als wäre ein Fenster offen, auch wenn alle Fenster geschlossen sind. Vor den Fenstern befinden sich gelbe Vorhänge, es wird also niemals komplett dunkel in den Räumen.
Uns hat es nicht wirklich gestört, aber wer empfindlich ist, sollte sich etwas anderes suchen.Heiko from Germany – 25 September 2023 (9/10)
