We stayed for 5 nights and had an absolutely amazing stay. The staff were very courteous and helpful. The room was very clean maintained daily be the staff. The pool was beautiful and my son loved playing in there. The playground has a play house, trampoline, seesaw, etc, and is right next to a beautiful garden to relax in whole the little guy played. The food was delicious and they had English menus for us to use. Breakfast was excellent. No shortage of choices and able to accommodate any taste buds. I will stay here again in a heartbeat if I come back to the region.

5-Star Stay!

Wonderful monastery hotel, beautifully nestled in the Bavarian Alps. The front desk staff were super welcoming—kind, caring, and helpful. Our room was clean, cozy, and quiet. If you're looking for a hotel with charm, character, and intimacy, I highly recommend!

A Special Place

We totally lucked in with finding the Klosterhotel. The hotel is traditional and beautiful in every way, and very reasonably priced for the location. The restaurant and breakfast were excellent. The kloster complex across the street was a special treat. Our only regret was that we didn’t book for a longer stay.

Breakfast buffet did not provide sufficient variety, especially fruits and vegetables. Restaurant had goof service but dinner was served mildly warm. Staff was friendly but not fluent in German or English. Rooms were good but cold due to the heaters being covered. Wellness was not offered at the scale for the size of the hotel. All in all, not recommended

Fantastic overnight getaway

Delightful charming hotel with very sweet staff. We had a room for three people and it was very spacious and had all the amenities. Nice robe and bath towel for the pool and spa. The hotel is in fantastic condition so I’m wondering if it was nearly updated. The breakfast in the morning was very good and included. The grounds are wonderful and it’s close to nice little shops.

Large hotel, we got spacious rooms. The hotel is a bit old but beautiful. Big free parking available. Breakfast is a standard European style. Room cleanliness is decent, and towels are replaced properly. The bar in the lobby is very small and I didn’t really like it. In one of the rooms, there was a clogged shower that caused flooding, and it was only fixed the next day, which was quite unpleasant.

We stayed two nights during our honeymoon. The hotel/room/town were all adorable. Our suite was spacious and clean. There’s a bus stop in front of and across the street from the hotel. Ettal Abbey is also across from the hotel. The front desk has a visitor card for guests to use for free local bus travel (after 5 euro deposit/per person). We used it to travel to the Schloss Linderhof and Oberammergau. We used the pool, saunas and massage amenities. Absolutely loved our stay and wish we stayed longer.

Beautiful authentic hotel with modern touch. The hallways are filled with antiques and interesting pictures/portraits. We arrived late but still got very warm welcome by an elderly gentleman at the reception. The suite is lovely and with a nice view of the mountains. Breakfast is also satisfying, with enough variety to start the day. The hotel is very close to Kloster Ettal, it’s definitely worth a visit. Highly recommended!

This hotel is located in a very beautiful place, it has nice backyard and swimming pool/sauna! Breakfast is good, especially their tea selection. Hospitality is ok, but noone is going above and beyond to assist you. Two main things that really bother! First is that they don’t have 24 hours reception - receptionist leaves at 10 pm and there is no one who can help you with anything after that time. Even at check out we got in little trouble: we were leaving at 7:30 am (which is not too early) and heading straight to airport (so we did not have any extra (free) time to wait) - there were no receptionist at reception at that moment… ;( And second - they have Nothing to drink! There is no tea/coffee station in the lobby, no even water. On the top of that there are no kettle or coffee maker in the room. It was very unpleasant because my kids got thirsty before bedtime when all stores/restaurants were already closed, and even hotel reception was closed as well. When I complained about that on the next day they told me that “oh, you can come to reception anytime (anytime is already not true) and we will make you a tea”. Ok, we tried that one time and they changed us 8Euro for that ;0 Overall it is a good hotel with spacious and clean rooms, it just needs some adjustments.
