Hotel Blaue Gams ***S, hotel in Ettal

Set in the heart of the picturesque Ettal valley in the Ammergau Alps, this country-style hotel enjoys a peaceful setting and offers views of Ettal Abbey.

Exceptionally well located property, overlooking Ettal monastery and surrounding Alpine meadows. Our room (family room) was extra spacious, modern and bright wooden decor - feels fresh and updated, with two separate rooms and huge, covered balcony overlooking the Kloster Ettal - a magical view! Since it was cold outside, we super valued ability to switch on heating and get the room truly warm. The bathroom was excellent, with all the amenities and plush, soft towels in ample amount. Espresso machine and fully stocked minibar completed the picture - really impressive! The dinner was good - nice, small and separate restaurant onsite, cozy, with great choices of food and drinks - we enjoyed. The breakfast next day was good - a pretty standard choice of hot and cold food, nice tea selection, very spacious breakfast room (no much service at the table, neither any a la carte dishes). A separate compliment to restaurant and staff - they speaks good English and actually, were surprisingly many international guests at the hotel. Overall - we liked the place, it also feels much more than a 3 star hotel (except for breakfast, perhaps), as it also has Spa and even room service was available.

    Ettals main, and only, attraction is the Abbey.

    Ettals main, and only, attraction is the Abbey. Which is certainly impressive. You'll most likely visit Ettal for the region, as it is a great point to start your hikes and/or visit Oberammergau and Garmisch-Partenkichen. Munchen and Innsbruck are only an hour drive away.

    This busy hotel has the feeling of a youth hostel.

    This busy hotel has the feeling of a youth hostel. Rooms are simply but practically equipped. There’s a constant coming and going of tourists. Unfortunately, I couldn’t bring me dog to breakfast. I wasn’t told that outside it is possible. Breakfast was basic. Scrambled eggs came in squared chunks, thus probably defrozen. Lots of plastic (Marmelade, Butter,…) The whole personnel is polish. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, I had just expected a Bavarian host. All in all my stay here felt like holidays off an assembly line.

    Beautiful town nestled in the mountains.

    Beautiful town nestled in the mountains. The monastery is right at the bottom of the hill from the hotel and it’s conveniently located near Schloss Linderhof and Oberammergau. There were other hotels but we chose this one for the view AND based on the menus at other restaurants this was the best. We took a self tour of the monastery as well as bought beer from their brewery and cheese too. The hotel served the beer from the monastery as well as used it in some of their specialty dishes.

    The location is beautiful with the mountains in the background. There is a lot to see in the area. The only unfortunate part was that we were between seasons and many restaurants and stores had limited hours or were closed.

    Ettal is a great place for sight seeing and visiting castles...

    Ettal is a great place for sight seeing and visiting castles etc. The one downside is the location. The weather can change very quickly, a sunny hot day can turn into a very wet and dower one in the blink of an eye. Looking over the valley when it is obscured by clouds and rain can be a bit disheartening. If your looking for wall to wall sunshine then this is not the best choice.

    Very wonderful village and the surrounding mountains are stunning. For anything longer then 3 day stay though, a bike is essential to being able to get to the surrounding towns for groceries and such. The attractions in Ettal are far more then one would expect with such a small population, but the business hours on google are not to be trusted as they change with the seasons and holidays.

    Best location in the area. The view of the monastery was amazing! The proximity to multiple trails was also great. The hotel was very clean, breakfast, and staff were amazing. I was most impressed by the kind and helpful individual service rendered by the staff. I never had a question or problem they could not answer, or find the solution. The dinners at the restaurant were also excellent. I will definitely stay again the next time I am in Southern Bavaria!

    This is one of the best apartments we have stayed in. Very well designed, equipped, clean, comfortable and spacious. Peta is very friendly and kind. She kept the heater running for us as we didn't expect summer would be this cold for the last few days. The location is off the main road, quiet, next to a nice restaurant, opposite the Ettal monastery and brewery, very close to a nice little bakery which offers good simple breakfast and 15 km away from Zugspitze.

    This hotel is lovely! The beds, linens, decor, view (from our room) location, parking....fantastic. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We were there for the Passion Play in nearby village/town and this hotel was perfect. And, they had the most beautiful and healthy houseplants I've ever seen! I support several vacation rentals in Hawaii and I'm very selective. This is a beautiful property and I would highly recommend staying here. sandy@kona101.com

    Very nice hotel, located just above the town of Ettal (easy walk into town and the Abbey). Comfortable room with balcony overlooking a steep hill (and a flock of sheep!). While the view from the balcony wasn't exciting, the balcony remained in the shade and kept the room cooler in the warm weather. Staff was friendly and attentive. Great restaurant on site. Breakfast buffet was varied. There were hiking trails that started at the hotel parking lot.

    This hotel is beautiful. The staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel has a restaurant where we ate breakfast and dinner. The food was excellent and the servers were wonderful and made us feel at home. The hotel is extremely clean, the beds comfortable and our room had a patio with seating outside. Free parking right across the street. There is also a pool, but our schedule didn't allow time to enjoy it. Would definitely stay here again.

    We very much enjoyed the room & the breakfast (a very hearty breakfast). The spa including the pool, the sauna, and the massage were appreciated after a long 2 weeks of travel, hiking, and playing tourist. The proximity to the Ettal monastery and basilica (both located across the street) were the primary reason for staying at the Hotel Klosterhotel Ludwig der Bayer, so an outstanding hotel made the visit much more enjoyable.

    The staff (especially Christina) and her hospitality. We are a family of 5 who stayed in two suites for one night. We attended the amazing Passion Play in Oberammergau and enjoyed the proximity from Ettal to there. The rooms were clean and spacious and the breakfast was delicious. The hotel is furnished beautifully too. Hope to return and visit the monastery across the road.

    Easy to find, located nicely just beside Kloster Ettal and many hiking paths are easy to reach. We slept there because we wanted to get an early start on Saturday morning. Hotel big, a bit anonymous, kind reception. Room big, but very dark, small window to street, all in all feels more like a huge cell. Bathroom very nice.

    The view from the hotel room was beautiful. We stayed at the hotel for my wife's birthday night and a Birthday card was kept along with Prosecco in our room. She couldn't be more happy. Also we could enjoy the sunrise from our room balcony. Great breakfast spread. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

    We had a very pleasant stay at Ethiko. The owner was extremely friendly and helpful, and the rooms were comfortable for our family of five. Breakfast was perfect to start our day. 15 minutes to Garmisch attractions and also close to the Ettal Abbey and Oberammergau...neither should be missed!

    The Sauna was a good treat for the end of the day, and the restaurant attached to the hotel offered a good selection for a delicious meal. The price for a delicious Avocado Burger was EUR 17,90, so relatively high, so I guess the restaurant charges a premium for its location and atmosphere.

    Nice classic alpine hotel. Rooms are comfortable and there's a,restaurant downstairs. This is handy as dining options locally (I.e. walking distance) are limited. Breakfast was good and the price was comparable to other similar hotels in the area
