Tripplo's verdict, based on guest reviews
Tripplo’s analysis · Updated 3 October 2026 · How we review hotels
Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt is all about the Tegernsee. It sits right on the shore at Rottach-Egern, on the quiet southern side of the lake, and every room has a balcony or terrace facing the water or the Alpine foothills. Guests speak most warmly about the setting, the spacious rooms and a team that stays friendly and composed even on busy days. Breakfast is a highlight, and with five restaurants, from the Michelin-starred Restaurant Überfahrt to the Bavarian Bayernstube, you can eat well for days without leaving the hotel. The drawbacks are mostly practical. Parking is charged per day, a few guests found parts of the spa closed for renovation, and there is no air conditioning, which may matter in a warm summer. Opinions on the beds also vary. Couples and food lovers who want a polished lakeside stay with a proper spa will be well looked after; travellers who dislike paying for extras should factor them in from the start.
What Guests Loved
- The hotel sits on the quiet, green southern side of the lake, and the location is what guests mention first and most often. The views over the water and the mountains carry through the grounds and the rooms.
- Guests describe the rooms as spacious, spotless and comfortable, with thoughtful design and views over the lake from the balcony or terrace that every room has.
Things to Consider
- Parking is charged per day, which several guests find out of step with the room rates, and one guest found the cost of a room upgrade high.
- A few guests arrived to find the indoor pool or part of the spa closed for renovation, and one found the outdoor pool disappointing as a result. It is worth asking about any works before you book.
Should you book it?
Althoff Seehotel Überfahrt is worth booking for couples looking for a spa stay with lake and mountain views — but pick somewhere else if you expect parking to be included.
