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.

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 The room was nice, though outdated.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.

Out of the Way but Gorgeous View

Easy check in and check out. Staff was nice and helpful.

Our room looked out onto the Ettal Monastery and it was gorgeous. You get a great workout walking up and down to the monastery.

Linderhof is about 12 km away. Ettal Monastery is within walking distance. They have the cutest little frogs there. You must look for them. About the size of a dime.

Food wasn’t bad there. Breakfast was a nice spread.

We had dinner at Ettal Muller which was authentic German food. It was delicious.

The hotel restaurant was equally yummy and we all enjoyed our food.

As good as it gets

To say we were delighted with this hotel is an understatement. It is extraordinary, beginning with the friendly staff. The lobby and grounds are welcoming, and the rooms are “gemütlich” with all the amenities. And then there’s the view - it is simply stunning. Our time there was much too short. And did I mention there’s a good restaurant there?

I arrived very early ( around 0900 ) after a flight from Hong Kong to Munich and a couple of hours drive to Ettal. The lovely lady at reception gave me a very nice room immediately even though well before official check in time. I very much appreciated the opportunity to have a shower and a few hours sleep. I had a very nice dinner and the breakfast buffet good too...

Superhard bed, scratchy sheets, but amazing spa

I'll start with the bad, the sheets on the bed were very scratchy, this usually isn't a problem, but a scratchy pillow can become distracting. The bed itself wasn't very comfortable, due to how firm it was. At one point I considered sleeping on the floor, and even tried placing all the pillows underneath me to make it a little more comfortable. Also the wifi was not very good. It was an accesspoint for some other provider, and would often drop my connection.
Now for the good. The room was very clean, and very quant. The view is amazing as long as you pay for a room with a view, otherwise you're stuck looking at a grassy hill. It's probably the best view in town to be honest. The spa was great. It's very new, and has lots of features, which are available at no extra chrage to guests. The staff was also very friendly and helpful.

Beautiful view, could use some updating

Stayed here for 4 nights in September 2018. We had one of the rooms with the view of the monestary. The view was amazing, and we enjoyed the balcony. Unfortunately, even though the weather was very warm, they had a fire in the firepit going every night downstairs, which blew smoke in our room, which wasn't great for my asthma. The hotel does not have AC, and the rooms were quite warm, so the window/door had to stay open. We did ask if there were any room fans but the answer was \"no.\" The breakfast was plentiful and delicious, and we did eat at the hotel restaurant and that was delicious as well. The beds were unfortunately very lumpy and in need of replacing.

Could be so much better.

Old hotel, beautifully positioned above the Abbey in Ettal. Very convenient for visiting Linderhof castle and other interesting attractions. Free, secure parking. Excellent restaurant (on patio) weather permitting. Downside is that the inside of hotel is tired and in desperate need of modernising. Large dining room is old fashioned and lacking in atmosphere. Our room (a comfort room with balcony) had a bathroom under the eaves which was tiny. There was a bath, but no usable shower - you could not use the shower head as you could not stand up!! Also, the water pressure was such that a bath would have taken at least 30 minutes to run. I would also think that these rooms would be unbearably hot during the summer - no air conditioning or fans. Breakfast was included but very disappointing - basic at best. I would not stay here again.

Nice Restaurant

I paid extra to stay in the supreme room. Unfortunately this room is on the back of the hotel without any views which was the reason I chose this hotel. The rooms with the views are the smaller rooms. The manager wasn’t friendly and for some reason didn’t want to give me a robe for the spa. However, the rest of the staff were nice. The restaurant was excellent for breakfast and dinner. I would recommend the restaurant for sure. Our waiter always had a kind smile.

What a beautiful hotel in a breathtaking backdrop! We had a lovely stay at Hotel Blaue Gams with good service, a charming room and an excellent German breakfast buffet. The attached restaurant is cozy and great for a late night beer. The only thing I would change is that our room was right next to the stairwell, which was noisy in the morning. Overall, this is a great place to stay and you can’t beat the price.

Amazing B&B

It was amazing from every aspect. Fabulous sightseeing, delicious breakfast and dinner, fascinating wellness centre/sauna, and lovely stuff. I will go there again definitely and strongly recommend!

Nice stay. Mountain view is no view at all.

If you want a view of the town and the Cloister you have to pay for it. We had a mountain view room which translated to seeing the side of the hill just outside of the balcony. The sauna facilities are very nice. The restaurant at the hotel is also very nice with good Bavarian Food. There is a walkway to down to the town, but treacherous in winter.

Lovely Bavarian Alps Getaway

If you're looking for a bed and breakfast, secluded feel, in the Bavarian Alps then this is the place for you. The views from the \"hotel\" are breath taking and the hotel is located in a really cute small town. There are also other towns near by (5 minute drive) if you're looking for more shops and restaurant options. The great thing about Blaue Gams is that it's more of a private feel with less tourists than some of the other towns. The staff was great! I arrived a little before check-in and no rooms were available yet but when I came back at check-in time, 3pm, I was given an upgrade on my room and was switched from a forest view to a room with a balacony overlooking the monastery which was breathtaking. Breakfast is included with the room which was lovely every morning.

Perfect in every way

We were so happy that we chose this hotel. The rooms are very nice, our view was spectacular. Breakfast was substantial and fueled us until mid afternoon. Beautiful outdoor dining but make a reservation. Ettal is a charming town and close to many attractions.

Very nice hotel

I was very impressed with this hotel. I actually think the pictures that you find online do not do it justice in terms of the surroundings and views--it is situated in a spectacular area. Moreover, the service is excellent and the spa/sauna services are very nice. There is also a nice restaurant serving a very good breakfast and nice dinners as well. Overall, I would gladly stay here again.

Hotel with great view but bad service

The room was very nice, Super stunning view at the morning. But my nice mood turn down when I go to have a breakfast. All food plates is empty and when I ask the waitress that will they fill-up more food. She answer me \"What! All of this is food food food!\"

Great, I checked-out.

Great Place to Stay

This hotel in the tiny village of Ettal is a diamond in the rough. Very nice facilities at a great value. The hotel is very attractive and clean. Huge, delicious breakfast buffet is included with the room. Good food at the onsite restaurant. Very quiet and relaxing. The location is great as a hub from which you can easily visit Munich, Neuchwanstein and Oberammergau. Five minute walk to the village of Ettal. Highly recommend.

Wonderful hotel

This is a great hotel .. Quiet location with perfect view of the village. Listening to the bells at the Monastery was wonderful. Short walk into the village for shopping and dining. We went on a tour in the Monastery .. Not to be missed. The hotel has old world charm, very comfortable rooms, spa facilities. The new sauna and wellness area was very nicely done. We dined in the restaurant one evening, attentive staff and delicious food. Breakfasts were very filling and plenty of choices.

Good hotel with nice scenery

The hotel was nice, it was clean and the staff were friendly. The scenery round the hotel is excellent and it was a pleasure sitting out on the balcony in the fresh morning air.

The restaurant was good and sitting out on the balcony having dinner was an added bonus.

The breakfast selection is a bit limited but overall the breakfast is decent.

A Hotel that will surely exceed your expectations.

We stayed at this Hotel for a total of 4 days and used it as a central location to head out from on day trips, but return for a great dinner and a relaxing night. My wife and I would highly recommend this Hotel for both food and accommodation. The spa facilities were exceptional and well beyond our expectations.

Lovely hotel

Lovely and quiet hotel minutes from Ettal Abbey. Absolutely gorgeous view from our balcony. The included breakfast was very nice and an unexpected surprise, and the general decor here was very homey and beautiful. We had a triple room and the bed I slept on was the sofa bed, which was not very comfortable. However, the regular beds seemed to be fine, and everything else was very nice. Lovely Bavarian hotel in a pretty and quiet location.

Good Stay.

This is a perfect landing pad location wise to see all that lower Bavaria has to offer. It's relatively close to Garmish, Linderhoff, and Neuschwanstein. Also a pleasant surprise is the Ettal Abby less than a 5 min walk from the hotel which was actually quite amazing.

The hotel itself is pretty charming although lacks some of the creature comforts we've become used to when traveling. The breakfast was good, the service was good too with everyone quick to offer up smiles. The walls however were paper thin and we were smack dab at the top of the stairway, so sleep was interrupted quite frenquently with people coming in and out. Also the sauna seemed like it would be really cool but it's only open from 3pm-7:30pm... Needless to say we were never at the hotel during these times.

We would probably come back and stay here in the future and it's a good option if you are looking to stay off the beaten path but still have access to the popular activities in the area.

A great place to stay while in the small town of Ettal, or nearby. The Hotel sits at the top of the hill and Looks down onto the Ettal Abbey.
Dessert at their Restaurant was incredible. The included morning breakfast was also great.
The bed was not comfortable.

Beautiful view, great breakfast! but no A/C

We loved this hotel, it felt very traditionally German! It is quiet, and relaxing. There is a town down the hill but we didn't go down there, only stayed one night but would have liked to stayed longer. The service was great! nice but quaint room and bath. You could hear sheep outside the window at night ha. The breakfast was wonderful! the only negative thing is there wasn't any air conditioning in the room. So it was hot at night staying in early August.

Beautiful setting in a lovely quiet town.

This hotel is in a beautiful setting, with lovely views of the mountains and Monastery. The terrace is a great spot for dinner or drinks. Spacious, clean and comfy room with a much appreciated balcony (travelling with our 11 month old baby, so very useful in the evenings when she'd gone to bed). Good choice at breakfast. Would have liked more info/recommendations from reception staff on local area.

Lovely, traditional Bavarian guesthouse/hotel

The hotel is a lovely, traditional Bavarian hotel. The rooms were roomy by European standards (which is more like an average size to most Americans' understanding)with a very nice, clean, modern bathroom. There was a lovely view over the Abbey in town and it would be a very short downhill walk to the Abbey and shops/restaurants as well (although a beastly climb back up!) That said, you should really eat at the hotel restaurant because it is so cozy and the food is great too. Breakfast was included and it was a very generous continental buffet with a few hot items (eggs and sausages). It is between Garmisch and Oberammergau, a short drive to either - so a nice alternative if you want to be somewhere centrally-located, quiet and nice. The wifi worked very well and there were a couple of tv channels in English as well. On a previous stay we selected the guesthouse side - and it was also very nice, although a bit more basic and a bit cheaper as a result. Both are great options, and overall - I would recommend this place and/or stay there again myself.

Die Lage vom Hotel ist super schön und ideal als Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen oder andere Outdoor-Aktivitäten. Wir hatten leider das einzige Zimmer ohne Balkon und die Bilder sahen weitaus moderner aus als die Einrichtung letztlich war (wir vermuten, dass das Zimmer im Gegensatz zu den anderen noch nicht renoviert wurde). Dennoch war alles andere zu unserer Zufriedenheit - das Frühstück bietet eine große Auswahl, das Restaurant ist ebenfalls super lecker. Den SPA-Bereich haben wir nicht genutzt, sah aber von außen gemütlich aus.

Wir waren rundum super zufrieden mit unserem Aufenthalt und werden ganz sicher wiederkommen!
* Zimmer: Unser Zimmer war sehr ordentlich, absolut sauber und die Ausstattung hat für unseren Aufenthalt vollkommen ausgereicht.
* Frühstück: Das Frühstücksbuffet war ein echtes Highlight – sehr schön und mit viel Liebe angerichtet.
* Wellness & Umgebung: Die Saunalandschaft ist wunderschön gestaltet und lädt perfekt zum Entspannen ein. Ein absoluter Traum war auch der sehr, sehr schöne Ausblick direkt auf das Kloster vor Ort.
* Komfort & Lage: Wer Ruhe sucht, ist hier genau richtig. Trotz der idyllischen, ruhigen Lage gab es absolut genügend Parkplätze direkt am Haus.
Fazit: Ein rundum gelungener Aufenthalt, bei dem es uns an nichts gefehlt hat. Absolute Empfehlung!

einmaligen Aussicht auf Kloster Ettal. Auch der Kaiserschmarrn im Restaurant war hervorragend.

Das Zimmer war sauber, wirkte jedoch deutlich anders als auf den Bildern und schon länger nicht renoviert. Das Bad war sehr klein, und das Zimmer war leider extrem hellhörig: Ab etwa 6 Uhr morgens waren sowohl andere Hotelgäste als auch die Schafe auf der Wiese deutlich zu hören. Das Frühstück war in Ordnung.

Insgesamt ein Haus mit traumhafter Lage und schöner Aussicht, aber beim Zimmer gibt es noch Luft nach oben.
