Hotel Tannbergerhof im Zentrum Von in Lech

What should have been a special evening turned into an absolute farce from start to finish. This hotel advertises two very different restaurants: an upscale dining room and a casual pub. We specifically booked the upscale restaurant through their own website, received confirmation, and dressed accordingly. Unfortunately, none of that mattered to the staff or management. Upon arrival, we were immediately brushed off by a waitress who after quickly scanning their reservation form, assumed we were reserved for the pub and then ushered us in that direction like confused walk-ins. Only after stopping another waiter and showing our reservation confirmation were we escorted back—clearly proving we had booked the upscale restaurant all along. That’s when things went from bad to unacceptable. The receptionist located our reservation but casually explained that their system often books people into the “wrong restaurant.” Despite acknowledging that our upscale reservation existed and was their error, we were told the upscale restaurant could not accommodate us and that we would have to eat at the pub instead. Naturally, we asked to cancel—since we were not being offered what we reserved—and requested assurance that we would not be charged the €200 no-show fee. The manager’s response was astonishingly hostile: eat at the pub or be charged €200. No apology. No accountability. Just a thinly veiled threat to pay for their mistake. Left with no real choice, we ate at the pub we never wanted to visit. The final insult? Nearly an hour wait for food that was mediocre at best—hardly compensation for being strong-armed into downgrading our entire evening. This establishment has mastered the art of overpromising, underdelivering, and punishing guests for its own incompetence. If you value your time, money, or dignity, do not trust their reservation system—and certainly don’t expect management to act in good faith when things go wrong. One of the most disappointing dining experiences I’ve had, not because of the food alone, but because of the utterly unacceptable treatment of paying guests.
