Where Brauereigasthof Hösl is and how to get there
Brauereigasthof Hösl stands at Bahnhofstraße 1 in Mitterteich, a town in Bayern, the Bavarian region of Germany. It is a guesthouse with a restaurant and a brewing tradition, so the dining room matters as much as the bedrooms.
I have no travel times to give you, because the data on the place doesn't include them, so put the address into your map before you set off. What the reviews do show is the kind of traveller who ends up here. Some come for a long weekend, some stop in after a hike, and some arrive on a motorbike tour.
What the rooms are like at Brauereigasthof Hösl
The rooms are simple and practical, and guests describe them as modern, clean and freshly renovated. Each one has a desk, a flat-screen TV, a wardrobe and a private bathroom with linen and towels. Wi-Fi is free and the whole house is non-smoking.
The older description also says the rooms look out over the town. One guest who stayed a long weekend with a brother adds that the shower pressure was good, which is a small thing you will appreciate after a day of walking. I wouldn't pick this place for a room you want to sit in all day. I would pick it for a clean bed above a kitchen people clearly like.
What guests praise most
Almost every review is about the food and the people running the place. The mood is very positive, and Google gives the inn 4.8 out of 5 from 152 reviews.
- The food. Several guests call it excellent, with generous portions, fresh cooking and fair prices. One mentions homemade cakes, and another says special requests are happily met.
- The hosts. Many reviews describe a warm, family atmosphere, with owners who stop to chat and help out. One traveller says the landlord even drove them back to their lodging.
- The beer. A couple of guests single out the beer, which fits a place with "Brauerei" in its name.
- The rooms. The few reviews that cover them agree they are clean and modern.
What to know before you book
The biggest point is about who runs it. A recent review regrets that the inn will soon stand empty again and wishes the Grünert family luck at their next place. An older review already praises a new host family. So the guesthouse seems to have changed hands before and may do so again. Check that it is open, and who is in charge, before you commit.
There is also one harsh review, from about a year ago, about a cold-cuts plate and a schnitzel that tasted like ready-made food, and about criticism that was not well received. It stands alone against a long line of five-star ratings, but it is a reminder that food is a matter of taste.
| What works | What to check |
|---|---|
| Generous, fresh food at fair prices | One guest found a cold plate underwhelming |
| Warm, family-style hosts | Possible change of hosts, so confirm before you go |
| Clean, modern rooms with private bathrooms | The data says nothing on breakfast or parking, so ask |
Who Brauereigasthof Hösl suits
I would choose Brauereigasthof Hösl in Mitterteich if you are hikers, motorcyclists or a couple on a long weekend who care more about a good dinner and friendly people than about hotel extras. It also works as a stopover when you want a proper meal and a clean room.
I would skip it if you need a spa, a pool or a lively town centre, because nothing in the reviews points to any of that. And if you want certainty about who is running the kitchen, ask first.
What to do around Mitterteich
The older description suggests day trips to the Soos national nature reserve, about 33 km away, and to Sokolov castle, about 45 km away. Guests also walk in the area and then stop for a beer on the way back, which sounds like a good plan to me.
If your route continues towards Mariánské Lázně, Mapiola also lists Hostel Foster in Mariánské Lázně. I can only give you its name and town, so open its page to see what it offers.
