A big thank you to Petra and Erol, the hosts that anyone thinking of being in the accommodation business should learn from. The room was very clean, comfortable bed and an easy walk into the main part of town. The food in the restaurant/bar was very good and the friendliness of the local patrons made our stay a highlight of our seven week trip through some of Europe.

Conveniently located on the north exit for Oberammergau, Hotel Garni Ammergauer offers very clean rooms and easy parking at the best prices in this part of Bavaria. I couldn't find a hotel with higher ratings at a better price and I started shopping for a room six months before our stay. If you are lucky, like we were, the friendly owner might be hosting a live band in the beer garden on weekend and you'll have a delightful time listening to rock music with Oberammergau neighbors. We chose this hotel to visit Linderhof, the Ettal Abbey, Garmisch Partenkirchen, the Wallgau and the Eibsee. It worked well for us as our home base for seeing the beauty of this region.

We should have had dinner at the hotel the first night we arrived, but we thought we'd have dinner there on another night. The food available in Oberammergau off-season is pretty limited and we ended up with mediocre pizza in the center of the village. There are good options for food near Ettal, a pleasant evening drive, so you have some great dining choices, but you might have to go beyond what is available in Oberammergau.

This hotel was situated in an ideal position and a 2 minute walk to the railway station which we used to visit Munich. The hotel was directly opposite the bus station for all places in the area you may wish to visit e.g. Schloss Neuschwanstein. The hotel has a very good Turkish menu or for those wishing alternative food, a 5-10 minute walk to other great eating venues. The host Errol and his wife Petra were so helpful in ensuring our stay was up to standard and offered helpful hints. The room was quiet and had a lovely view of the mountains. The breakfast was excellent.

The apartment was exceptionally clean and the heating system was exceptional. The apartment was ideally situated next to the main bus and train station and it was easy to go travelling.

The apartment was on the top floor (4th) and there was no lift. The stairs were somewhat rickety, and it was a nightmare trying to keep the windows free from condensation. Breakfast at the hotel was too overpriced. We are a family of 4 and we had breakfast on the first day only - cereal, fruit and croissants and cups of tea. We were charged Euros 12.50 each, so the total was Euros 50.00. When we came to settle up the owner added another Euros 25.00 to the breakfast bill. We paid Euros 75.00 for one day's breakfast which we felt was extortionate.

We really enjoyed staying at this hotel. Erol and Petra were so friendly and helpful, even going the extra mile to make sure the bill was in a suitable format to submit for reimbursement by our employer. The room was comfortable and clean and smelled nice, and breakfast was good. The location is ideal for access to Oberammergau stores and restaurants and for walking trails along the river, and we had a great view of the mountain from our balcony. This hotel offers real value for money. We will be back!

Just a small thing - we would have liked a dresser or similar piece of furniture in the room (something to provide an extra surface to put items on).

Amazing stay. Great facilities, location can’t be beat, very friendly and helpful owners, good breakfast spread, spotlessly clean, and so comfortable. There are access to balconies, a beautiful view, a short walk to the main area of Oberammergau, a store right across the street for any last minute needs, steps away from the Bahnhof, and even a guest card for free use of bus.

Nothing

Friendly, hospitable, and efficient staff who made sure everything was good for you. Quiet even though we faced the road. Comfy beds and pillows. Room had a desk/chair, small cooler/frig - I think. I didn’t use it so I’m not sure. Comfortable seating area. Many plugs that are easy to find, which helped with charging devices. Bathroom had shelf space for items. Wonderful breakfast with an array of choices from meats/cheeses, to cereals/granola (including gluten free), fruit, a variety of yogurts, pastries, boiled eggs, and many other items- even had two juices, one orange and another that tasted really good but I’m not sure what it was- maybe a juice blend. When I needed help, it happened immediately. Staff spoke English, which helped out. I didn’t expect that. I can tell they take pride in their property. An easy, short walk to the main part of the town and shopping, restaurants, and the Passion Play.

having to lug a heavy suitcase up stairs but that’s my fault for packing too much. 😀

Friendly staff, excellent location, great management who knew everything. Helpful and engaging. Quietly accommodated two groups so the main group never really knew about the other group unless you paid real close attention. The other group dudnt know, but they got great service, also to meet their achedules. Very discrete with the groups and all guests. You felt, and received, personal, tactful service as a matter of course. You dont see very much of this anynore, these days, from any starred hotels at any level

Going around the back, they wanted to call the front but it is not, is not inviting, and hard to see the steps at night. A ramp down from the street to the yard would be both more inviting, and safer.

Friendly, helpful staff who went out of their way to make us feel welcome and responded quickly to questions or when I needed help. (I had contacted them prior to my stay and they made sure to respond thoroughly to my questions). Very clean facilities. Comfortable beds and pillows. Quiet. Breakfast had a wide variety of food from meat and cheese, to yogurt, to cereals and granolas, lots of tasty friend and an assortment of pastries, delicious jam, and two types of juice.

Everything was wonderful but climbing steps might be of concern to others.

Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The space in our apartment was great, parking was easy, and the location was super convenient.

We stayed in the apartment across the street from the main building. We were warned that it was on the third floor with no elevator. The way the stairs were it was almost like walking up five flights of stairs in the US. It was not a problem for me, but a bit more taxing on my older family members than we were expecting. Still a great stay, just be aware.
