Haymon

Hotel as shown in the photos with an excellent location near the station and near the center; excellent welcome from the family with some members who speak Italian, which is not a given; dinner with four well-presented and abundant courses; large and spacious rooms, with a somewhat classic-dated style decor, but well-maintained. overall excellent stay, recommended.

This was the second hotel that we stayed at during our multi–centre holiday, and we stayed there for 4 nights. We were looking for a traditional–style hotel, close to the train station and with a half board option, so it was an easy decision to pick the Hotel Haymon. Their website does a great job of showcasing the beautiful exterior and interior of the building, along with describing the legend of Haymon the Giant. The hotel is a short walk from both the train station and the pedestrianised centre of Seefeld. The exterior looked as good as the website photos, with lots of flowers that were blooming in the sunshine. Check–in was friendly and efficient, and we were able to obtain our PlateauCard and purchase a discounted walking map straight away. We had booked a larger ‘Karwendel’ room and had asked for a west facing non–eaves room, so were delighted to be allocated room 52, on the 1st floor in the extension building. The room was an excellent size, with lots of storage, a seating area and a large balcony. The Austrian twin bed was large and comfortable and, despite overlooking a road, we heard very little noise. The automated bathroom lights were a real pain though and there appeared to be no way to turn them off at night, other than turning off all of the electricity to the room. As is often the case in the Alps, there was no air conditioning in the room, but we were able to use the balcony door and window to keep the temperature to a reasonable level. They may wish to consider installing ceiling fans in future though. We would also have welcomed having a fridge in the room. As we were staying on half board, we had breakfast and dinner in the hotel restaurant and were allocated the same table for the duration of our stay. We very much enjoyed the traditional style of the restaurant and the food at dinner was excellent – 4 courses each night with a choice of main dish and also the option to ask for smaller portions. The service was very quick, and the staff spoke excellent English, which was great, as neither of us speaks much German. We were a little confused by the guest folder information about tap water, which encourages guests to drink the tap water in their room and states that ordering tap water in the restaurant is subject to a charge, but does not specify that guests cannot bring water from their room to dinner. Hopefully the guest folder info can be changed to clarify this. It also was not immediately clear that it was possible to order fried eggs and omelettes at breakfast – a note in the (very informative) Morning Post newsletter could help to clarify this. We thought that the hotel bar was absolutely lovely – it was great to have a variety of sitting areas. We enjoyed sitting out on the veranda when it was sunny and had fun playing Jenga when it was raining. The garden and roof terrace were great spaces too. We also enjoyed taking advantage of the afternoon cake buffet after our sightseeing each day. The free weekday admission to the Olympiabad swimming pool was a big bonus of staying there too. Our 4 nights at the Hotel Haymon passed by all too quickly and we were very sad to leave – but I’m sure that we will end up staying there again in future – highly recommended!

We booked this hotel out of pure luck, last minute for the xmas season and we were so pleased. The food was delicious, room a little dated but with the view we didn’t mind one bit. What a treat this hotel was. Close to the town centre and xmas market and so much to do! The family running it was lovely. The younger gentleman checked us in and was a joy, nothing was too much trouble. We can’t wait to come back one day.
