Alphotel Ettal

I loved the herd of sheep right outside our balcony! We could see and hear them all day and night 😊 It was so relaxing- It was just like counting sheep! The temperature was very nice and the fresh clean air was so sweet we left our door and window open. The balcony said it was shared but there was a large panel of wood dividing it so it was great. The room was very large and comfortable. I could have stayed longer. The breakfast was good as well

I didn't like that there was no refrigerator in the room. I really look to always have one when we stay at a hotel for more than one night. We need cold water and drinks when we travel. We ate at the restaurant and it wasn't very good for German food. It might have just been the menu for the night. Also no other restaurants in easy walking distance.

If you want the Bavarian Alp countryside ambiance, this is the place to stay. We thought it was a little quaint type hotel up a small side street, when, in fact, it has numerous rooms and facilities and still quaint. We had a twin room with a balcony. It was mid October and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The balcony provided fresh air and views. We even had a flock of goats in the morning complete with bells on like in the movies. The views from our back room were fantastic. The breakfast was totally German: meats, cheeses, fruits, pastries, bread, hot foods, cereals, etc. We even had dinner one night and it was nicely priced and the food outstanding. There is free parking across the street but let the office staff help you determine which spaces are OK. We would stay here again!

Nothing. It was fabulous!

The room was surprisingly large and comfortable. The view from the balcony was lovely, and despite the close proximity to a major roadway, very little was heard from the balcony of our room. The spa area was well stocked with fresh towels and the temperature of the pool was just right. 'Downtown' was just a short walk away.

The breakfast left a lot to be desired but this may simply be due to the small amount of guests at the time making it more challenging to provide fresh, hot food for the duration of the breakfast time.

A nice hotel in a nice setting in an attractive area at a reasonable price. The staff is very pleasant and helpful. The hotel is pet friendly. The rooms are very nice and comfortable. Well soundproofed. Ours with a balcony with a beautiful view was great. The only thing missing to perfection was the refrigerator in the room. The breakfast was perfectly fine. We found everything we expect from a hotel breakfast, and overall the breakfast in this hotel was one of the best we had the opportunity to experience in Germany. Charging station for electric cars in front of the hotel in the parking lot.

Unfortunately, there was a ruhetag in the restaurant on the day of our visit, so we cannot rate the food. But for dinner we walked to the center, where we satisfied our hunger. Parking can be tricky and problematic here. There are not enough parking spaces, they fill up quickly and so does the street on which the hotel is located. So you may end up parking pretty far from the hotel. We were lucky that at the time of our arrival, one place had just become available.

The hotel is located on a hill top and provides an amazing alpine views. Views from the room: Our room was located at the ground floor so it had shared garden area. The garden area opens up to the nearby hill and therefore provides a great view. The garden has a dining table and easy lawn chairs for relaxation which was great. Room facilities: The room was adequately spacious for 2 people, with two individual beds. The bathroom was very clean. The room also had a mini fridge and a smart TV. Therefore, the room was totally worth it. Food at the hotel: The food was quite good and had also many vegetarian options for lunch/dinner. Buffet breakfast was included in the room rent and was ok. Luggage storage: Before checkin/after checkout we could store our luggages in a common conference room, so that was great. Nearby things to do: To reach most of the attractions, you would need the bus connections. We also had been to Neuschwanstein castles with a direct bus from that location. However, you can reach the nearby beautiful cathedral by walk. Public transport: The hotel is located very near to the bus stop named "Ettal Am Berg". Therefore it can be easily reached from Garmisch-Partenkirchen and Oberammergau. However, the bus connections are at every 1 hour. Overall, it was a great stay for us! Highly recommended.

The hotel is located on top of a small mountain and if you are coming from Garmish, you would experience the hairpin drive. The location is so nice and calm. The breakfast is also so good. The hotel also provides a swimming pool free for the guests and it's really nice. The sauna can be taken with an additional 9 euro. I also tried their dinner which is affordable and good.

The location is 30 minutes from the city center of Zugspitz. And public transportation is available only with an interval of 1 hr between each trip. Sometimes the bus itself gets cancelled for an hour and we might need to wait for 2 hours just to get there. Also the taxi cost from the hotel to Garmish is around 50 euro which is too much.

Lovely hotel just outside the main part of the village. Very polite and friendly staff; pool and sauna available on arrival but we didn’t use. Booked evening meal at time we wanted on arrival also. We were able to order drinks then to take up to our room. We were upgraded to a room with a little balcony which was located overlooking the small street but then over to the mountains. 2nd floor room 204: hotel style bedroom with private bathroom which had a shower, toilet and sink; towels provided; also a hairdryer and shaving mirror. Beds comfy. room warm but ok. Floors carpeted. Evening meal was reasonably priced and delicious, and portions were large. We had soup, salad and Gordon Bleu, beers and wines for around €55. Hotel style and service for good B&B prices. Definitely recommend.

nothing.

-An economical stopover after visiting Zugspitze. -More budget-friendly than Garmish city center for a family of 5. -Enjoyed breakfast in a beautiful and peaceful backyard.

-Front desk staff were very casual, not particularly friendly. -Had to find our own parking space on the street, despite the promised parking option. -Overall, it was a fair stay, but perhaps not the best in the area.

Excellent location in the mountains, close to Munich, Garmisch P., Neuschwanstein and other important tourism objects. Everything was clean and comfy, small but nice wellness centre. Very nice staff, worked very hard to make everyone comfortable. Great place to visit with kids - as a family of five we felt very well taken care of and they did everything we asked for.

This is a cozy hotel with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. It is in a charming little village surrounded by picturesque Bavarian mountains, with the sound of sheep bells. Very clean hotel, rooms have their own little balconies. Hotel has a restaurant and little bar, and a lovely little pool area.

Only complaint would be that there wasn’t much water pressure and hot water in the shower. That easily could just be a timing issue when we used it, though
