Nice typical german hotel next to the famous monastery, clean room with good sturdy beds. A little too pricey for the value but sufficient. We had a good stay here

The hotel welcomed us after a same-day reservation due to an issue with another hotel. The staff were friendly and helpful. The apple strudel and breakfast were delicious. It was raining, but if the weather had cleared, our view would have been wonderful! Hope to return!

The view down onto the little village of Ettal, the monastery, and the surrounding mountains was beautiful. The balcony, adorned with flower boxes, was very nice. The bed was comfortable. The spätzle was tasty. This is a nice hotel.

Gorgeous views, clean rooms. Just be aware there is no air conditioning so we slept with the windows open. Some of the restaurant crowd was loud.

Great location overlooking Ettal. Nicely furnished rooms, a solid breakfast offering, and a nice outdoor area. The restaurant was closed for a renovation, so did not get an opportunity to experience it.

Unterkunft sehr schön gelegen. Allerdings hatten wir ein sehr kleines Zimmer im DG mit entsprechender Dachschräge. Für eine Nacht war das Zimmer ok - aber einen längeren Urlaub wollten wir hier nicht verbringen. Das Zimmer war neu renoviert und ansprechend gestaltet, die Betten war sehr bequem.
Das Abendessen im Restaurant war köstlich.
