    We booked smaller rooms and it was not enough space for our stuff. Watch for type of room. Next time we will upgrade.

    Perfect location. Quietly nestled above the Abby. Great stay after a long day of sightseeing.

    Breakfast is traditional and good for meat lovers, less of fish products like salmon. Otherwise it's more than adequate. Coffee / tea in room with be much welcomed. The restaurant was close this time, but there is decent Italian place down in the village, opposite to monastery.

    Location is hard to believe - full view of Ettal monastery with the Alps on the backdrop. One of the best views.. Rooms are traditional in overall style, yet modernized with fresh and bathrooms. Great water pressure and temperature, large balcony with seating area, fully equipped minibar - really the only thing potentially missing in the basic rooms is tea/coffee facilities. The breakfast is pretty good, with a few missing things maybe, but, you get a candle lighted on every table while the breakfast and this is sooo charming!

    Fantastic traditional Bavarian hotel, with a perfect location over a hill, overseeing the nearby amazing monastery and not close to the road to hear any noises. Good starting point for mountain walks as well. It has a good restaurant, nice service and a high quality breakfast. The spa centre is pleasant as well.

    Parking is limited, I had to park to the overflow area. I liked the candle lit restaurant but to have breakfast between two candles was a little bit over the top

    Nice area and the hotel was nice with traditional wooden features. Special thanks and praise to the lovely Bulgarian waiter.

    The rooms on the renovated side are a bit on a smaller side. I'd suggest removing the little table in the room to have more space to walk freely.

    Killer view + nice spa area! The restaurant is also really good, no need to drive anywhere. The staff were all really nice except for one grumpy older lady at the reception.

    Located on the hillside in beautiful Ettal overlooking the Ettal Cloister and the valley. My balcony faced outward and I opened my balcony door at night for the mountain air and the sound of rushing water falls. It's like living in a fairy tail. The hotel itself is rustic Bavarian/Alpen style that is gorgeous inside and out. The breakfast was much more than expected. The food was delicious and well prepared and lots of it.

    I recently stayed at Hotel Blaue Gams, and it was a delightful experience. The standout feature of this hotel is undoubtedly the stunning views. Waking up to the breathtaking scenery was an absolute highlight and set a perfect tone for each day. The rooms were cozy, comfortable, and well-maintained. The decor was tasteful and complemented the natural beauty surrounding the hotel. The breakfast was excellent, with a wide variety of options to choose from. Everything was fresh and delicious, making for a great start to the day. I also had a very enjoyable dinner experience at the hotel’s restaurant. The menu offered a wonderful selection of dishes, and the quality of the food was impressive. The spa was another highlight of my stay. It was clean, well-equipped, and provided a perfect space to unwind after a day of exploring. The relaxation area, along with the sauna and other amenities, made it an ideal place to recharge. Overall, I had a wonderful stay at Hotel Blaue Gams and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with beautiful views, comfortable rooms, and great dining experiences.
