Very cute property with excellent views. The front staff was very helpful with accommodating us and our late arrival. The room was nice, though outdated. On the website when translated to English, it stated that there was a restaurant open until 10 and bar until midnight. When we arrived late, we were a little shocked to find out that nothing was open. The breakfast was pretty basic and a little cold. The receptionist showed me where on the website it said things were closed, so I believe it was more of a translation issue on the website, but it was still a bummer when we arrived hungry. Overall, the hotel suited our needs just for the night and heading out early morning. We did not get a chance to try any facilities.

Lovely alpine veiws

We just had an overnight stop here on our way to Austria. Staff were all very friendly and helpful. We had a lovely room with a balcony overlooking the village and nearby monestry. The view down the valley is fantastic. The room was very clean and the restaurant served a good selection of Bavarian food. Parking was good and the village only a short walk away. The chimes of the monestry clock every 15minutes might not be to everyone’s liking but certainly adds to the alpine atmosphere.

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.
