Modern updates in a rustic looking hotel. Very quiet, clean and the food was delicious. Fabulous Swabien breakfast, luscious wine offerings with tasty dinner. Would highly recommend staying here.
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.
I cannot say enough what an awesome location this is
Bring your bike & appetite
Such pretty rooms
The view of Ettal monastery is breathtaking in such a quintessential farmland area
I did not want to leave!!
The hotel is beautiful, the location is wonderful, the views were outstanding. Being very pet friendly was also important to us. Would love to stay there again.

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!
If you looking for a genuine German Hotel, this is it!!! Ive traveled Germany for 40 yrs and this is one great hotel and the location is outstanding overlooking Ettal. Great restaurant and breakfast. I will be back once in the area.
Perfect breakfast and friendly helpful staff! Amazing views from the large balcony!!!! The area is magical! Our room was smaller than we expected based on the website photos.
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.
This is a beautiful property in a beautiful tiny village in Germany! Super clean and staff are very friendly. They also spoke English which was great since my German is pretty bad. HIGHLY recommend!!!!
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 The room was nice, though outdated.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.
Being from the US, the hotel was the perfect German charm we were looking for. Common area and room was clean and all the employees were very helpful and friendly… and spoke English, which was a plus!!
Fantastic German breakfast was included in our room fee. We also had dinner at the attached restaurant. Food was German fare and was wonderful, as was the staff.
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
Hotel is located in a beautiful area! Facility was very clean in all public areas and room. Staff extremely courteous and professional. Highly recommend this traditional German hotel!
