The Honest Truth (and Everything Else) About Escape to Bavarian Bliss
Let's be honest, the name? "Escape to Bavarian Bliss"? A little much, right? But hey, I'm an optimist, and I believe in second chances. This place, nestled in Kirchheim, is aiming high, and I respect that. So, did it deliver? Let's find out, shall we?
First Impressions & Accessibility - Navigating the Maze
Okay, so first things first: Accessibility. This is HUGE for a lot of people, and it should be. I'm not in a wheelchair myself, but I've seen enough hotels make a hash of this to know what to look for. They say it's good. They say they've got facilities for disabled guests, and an elevator. I'm going to need to verify this. Check-in/out [Private] is a good start, though.
The car park [free of charge] on-site is a massive win. Saves those Euros for schnitzel! And a car power charging station? Smart move, keeping up with the times. Airport transfer and taxi service? Check, check. Good start, Bavarian Bliss.
Rooms: Where the Magic (or Mild Disappointment) Happens
We’re talking, well… everything in the rooms. My eyes are glazing over with features. I'm scanning down the list; is there an in-room safe box? Check. Free Wi-Fi? Double Check! And the Mini bar! Always a critical feature! I think I will want that free bottled water in my room… because I’m guessing I'll be needing it, and the coffee/tea maker. Okay, okay, I’m in.
The slippers are a nice touch. The bathrobes? Hell yeah, bring on the spa vibes! I mean, potentially spa vibes, hopefully. Speaking of which…
Relaxation Station: Can I Actually Bliss Out?
This is where things get interesting. "Body scrub, body wrap, foot bath…" Oh, you've got my attention, Bavarian Bliss. Then there's a Sauna, Spa, Spa/sauna, Steamroom, Swimming pool, Swimming pool [outdoor]. Good lord I might actually be able to relax. I just need one of those massages, which they said. And a Pool with view? Well now, that’s tempting.
Now, I have to confess, I'm not the most fitness-obsessed person. Gym/fitness center? Meh. But I appreciate the option.
The Foodie Factor: Will My Stomach Thank Me?
Here's the thing, I’m a serious eater. And a hotel’s food can make or break the whole experience. They have plenty of restaurants. Restaurants! plural. A Buffet in restaurant – always a crapshoot, but hey, variety is the spice of life, right? Breakfast [buffet]? Excellent. Breakfast service? Double excellent. And an Asian breakfast? Ooh, now you're talking! A Vegetarian restaurant? Thumbs up. Western cuisine in restaurant, International cuisine in restaurant… I'm thinking, okay, this could be good.
There's a poolside bar – essential. And a Snack bar. Yes, to the Coffee/tea in restaurant! If there's no good coffee, the entire experience will be ruined, let's be honest. I need that coffee.
Cleanliness and Safety: Because Germs are REALLY Not Invited
Okay, amidst all the relaxation and the Schnitzel, safety is important. The Staff trained in safety protocol, Hand sanitizer. Daily disinfection in common areas, Anti-viral cleaning products and Rooms sanitized between stays. Good. Good. Good. The Hot water linen and laundry washing also. And let’s get this straight: a doctor/nurse on call? That’s smart.
The Nitty Gritty: Extra Perks and Quirks
Okay, so we gotta run through the list. Concierge service? Always a plus. Cash withdrawal – critical. Currency exchange? Handy. There’s a convenience store which is always useful.
For the Kids: Babysitting service. Kids facilities, Family/child-friendly, Kids meal.
Getting Around: Car park [on-site] – again, a win. Bicycle parking? Excellent!

Lanzarote's Hidden Gem: Discover Nazaret Sol!
Alright, alright, buckle up buttercups, because this is not your grandma's itinerary. This is a chaotic, honest, and hopefully hilarious journey through… well, the Hotel Beim Schrey in Kirchheim bei München, Germany. Which, let's be honest, might just be a fancy Motel 6. But hey, we're rolling with it!
The Totally Unrealistic Itinerary: A (Mostly) Honest Account
Day 1: Arrival and Bavarian Bewilderment (or, "Where's the Schnitzel, Lady?")
- 14:00 (ish): Land in Munich. Okay, so the Lufthansa flight was… fine. Sat next to this guy who snored like a chainsaw. Seriously, I think I’ve lost a few brain cells from the experience. Pretentious. Anyway…
- 15:30: Rental car disaster. Thought I was getting a sporty little number. Ended up with a… tiny, beige box on wheels. It's a citröen c1! And I nearly crashed into the guy behind me, so, great start!
- 17:00: ARRIVE at Hotel Beim Schrey (fingers crossed it actually exists, and isn't a figment of my stressed imagination. It does, phew!). Check-in is… efficient. The woman behind the desk looks like she's seen it all. Maybe she has, given the state of the lobby furniture. It's like a time capsule, 1970's elegance, or something.
- 17:30 - 18:30: Room inspection. Okay, the room itself… it's… clean! Which is a win. Dated, but clean. The view? Directly into the car park. Excellent. I am slightly terrified to touch the floral bedspread, but hey, character, right? "Honey, pack some Clorox wipes."
- 19:00: Wander off in search of food. Google Maps promises a 'traditional Bavarian restaurant' nearby. Promises, promises.
- 19:30: Restaurant reality check. Found it! A charming little pub. Ordered a beer. Waited. Another beer. Still no food. Asked the waitress. "Ah, ja, the Schnitzel is… coming." Well, a whole other beer later, and no Schnitzel, I wanted to shout to the high heavens! Finally, after an hour and a half, the Schnitzel arrived. It was… okay. The beer was better.
- 21:00: Crash. Hard. Jet lag is a monster. Praying I don't wake up in a cold sweat, convinced I'm still on the airplane with the chainsaw man.
Day 2: Dachau, Dampfnudeln, and a Dose of Disappointment (or, "This Day Was Messy")
- 08:00: Wake up. Actually a reasonable time! Coffee is… okay. That’s something.
- 09:00: Dachau Concentration Camp Memorial Site. This is the big one. The one that’s been hanging over me. It's going to be intense. The visit was… necessary. The weight of history is heavy. I walked around for hours, unable to speak, it was so difficult. Tears, I feel, were unavoidable. I needed to see it. And yet… I’m not sure I’ll ever process it.
- 15:00: Seeking comfort food. Found a bakery. They have Dampfnudeln. I am so happy. It was pure joy. This soft, pillowy, steamed dumpling? In a pool of molten butter and vanilla sauce? Heaven. I may have eaten three. Don't judge me. I needed it after Dachau.
- 17:00: Attempt to visit a castle. (Because, you know, Bavaria). Drove. Drove. Drove. Got lost. Found a field. Gave up and headed back to the hotel. The castle will have to wait. I'm already starting to lose my mind somewhat.
- 18:00: Contemplating the car park again. The view. The car park. Yep, I have become one with the car park.
- 19:00: Back to that "traditional Bavarian restaurant." Hoping the service has improved. It hasn't. It's okay, I have the Dampfnudeln to comfort me. The Schnitzel tastes better, now. Even better when I'm finally served and the waitress throws my plate at me. Honestly, the humor of it all is what I live for.
- 21:00: Another early night. Tomorrow, I will conquer the castle. I swear.
Day 3: Castle, Chaos, and a Beer Garden Blitz (or, "I Did It! And I Regret Nothing")
- 08:00: Coffee. Attempt to locate the castle. I'm becoming somewhat of an expert in car park appreciation. Oh yeah, and the coffee is okay.
- 09:30: Schloss Neuschwanstein… finally. And it’s crowded. Absolutely swarming with tourists. But… breathtaking. I pushed my way through the crowds, finally got a photo, and then ran away because I couldn’t breathe. That castle is seriously beautiful, and I got a decent photo. Victory!
- 11:30: Back to the car. Where, to my horror, I found my trusty beige box on wheels had been, shall we say, decorated by a flock of seagulls. (Why? I ask you. Why?) Moral of the story? NEVER park under a tree by a lake, in Bavaria.
- 13:00: Fuel for the soul. Found a proper beer garden. This is it. Lederhosen and all! The pretzels were massive, the beer was flowing (and delicious), and the atmosphere? Pure, unadulterated joy. I may have attempted a few phrases in German (which probably sounded like I was talking to a hamster), but everyone was lovely. I talked and talked and talked. It was amazing.
- 17:00: Back to the hotel, surprisingly happy. I've survived. I've seen the castle. I've embraced the chaos. I love the smell of car park.
- 19:00: Another dinner at the traditional Bavarian restaurant. The waitress recognizes me, which is either a good or a bad thing.
- 21:00: Packing (or, the attempt thereof). Where did all this stuff come from?
- 22:00: One last look at the car park. Feeling surprisingly nostalgic.
Day 4: Departure and a Promise to Return (or, "Maybe I'll Actually Learn German Next Time")
- 07:00: Wake up. Last coffee. Last look at the floral bedspread. Last moment of the car park.
- 08:00: Checkout. The desk clerk smiles. Maybe in a sympathetic way, or maybe because they know I'm leaving.
- 08:30: Drive back to Munich. This time I navigate without incident.
- 10:00: Return the beige box. The rental agent gives me a look. I think he's seen it all.
- 12:00: Arrive at the airport.
- 14:00: Depart.
- Thoughts on the Hotel Beim Schrey: It's… an experience. Maybe not the ideal luxury getaway, but it was clean, quirky, and perfectly situated for a messy, emotional, and ultimately memorable Bavarian adventure. Would I go back? Absolutely. Maybe with some Clorox wipes, and an army of Dampfnudeln. And definitely, definitely, a better car. And perhaps learning a few German phrases would be a good idea.
Okay, spill the tea: Is "Escape to Bavarian Bliss" *really* as dreamy as it sounds?
And the breakfast! Oh, the breakfast. They call it a "Bavarian feast." I call it a carb coma waiting to happen. Pretzels galore, mountains of cheese, and enough sausage to feed a small army. I mean, I love sausage, but after three days, I was basically waddling around like a stuffed bratwurst myself.
So, is it dreamy? Yes. Is it perfect? Absolutely not. And honestly, that's what makes it kind of great.
What about the rooms? Are they actually comfy? Any quirks I should know about?
The bathroom? Modern and spacious, but... here's a quirk: the water pressure. Let's just say, if you're expecting a power shower, you're in for a disappointment. It's more of a gentle trickle, which is fine until you've got shampoo in your hair and you’re staring down at the drain wondering if you’ll ever get it all out.
Oh! And the floorboards! They *creak*. Like, every single step. So, if you're a light sleeper, bring earplugs, and possibly a tranquilizer dart. You'll hear every footstep of the family upstairs, the cleaning staff, the occasional wandering cow (kidding... mostly). But the creaks add a certain "rustic charm", I guess.
That "Kirchheim's Hidden Gem" part... is it *actually* hidden? Is it hard to get to?
My GPS kept losing signal, and at one point, I swear I saw a sign that said, "Beware of Gnomes." Seriously! Gnomes! I thought, "Yup, this is Bavaria alright."
So, yeah, it's a bit of a trek. Definitely rent a car and prepare for a bit of an adventure. But the reward? The stunning scenery makes it all worthwhile. You'll feel like you've truly escaped. Just...make sure you've got a full tank of gas, and a sense of humor. And maybe some gnome repellent, just in case.
What's the deal with the staff? Are they friendly? Do they speak English?
The rest of the staff? More of a mixed bag. Some are super friendly and helpful, others are... well, let's just say communication can be a bit of a challenge. I tried to order a black coffee one morning and ended up with a hot chocolate with whipped cream bigger than my head. Not complaining, mind you, but it wasn't exactly what I asked for!
And the language barrier? It can be a bit frustrating at times. But honestly? It adds to the charm. It forces you to embrace the culture, mime your way through requests, and generally feel like you're on a proper holiday adventure. Just bring a phrasebook and a good sense of humor, and you'll be fine.
Let's talk activities! What is there *to do* besides eat and enjoy the view (which, let's be real, is tempting)?
You can visit the nearby castles. Newschwanstein is a must. But be prepared for crowds. I'm talking Disney-level crowds. Seriously. Pre-book your tickets!
And then there is the town itself. Kirchheim is adorable. Quaint little shops, traditional restaurants, the whole shebang. I got dragged into a beer garden one evening and ended up attempting to yodel. Let's just say, it wasn't pretty. But it was fun!
Honestly, though? The best activity is *doing nothing*. Just sitting on your balcony, drinking a beer, and soaking it all in. The pace there? It’s slow. It's what the place demands. It reminds you what real relaxation feels like. So, embrace the slowness. It's a good life.
Would you go back? If you *had* to, would you recommend it?
You need to be prepared for a slightly imperfect experience. Embrace the quirks. Don't expect perfection. Think of it as a real-life, slightly messy, but ultimately charming adventure.
Escape to Bavarian Bliss isn't for everyone. If you're the type who demands flawless service and perfectly curated experiences, this isn't your place. But if you're looking for something authentic, something memorable, and something genuinely *different*? Then, yes, go. Just pack your earplugs, your sense of adventure, and maybe some nose plugs for the morning! You'll have a story to tell, that's for sure. And maybe, *just maybe*, you'll find yourself utterly charmed. I did.
