Everything was great but the room was very hot at night. It was located under the roof and the insulation must be lousy. Make sure your room is NOT under the roof. Front desk was mostly ok. The rest of the staff on the floors was nice but unable to communicate in German or English. The breakfast was good. The breakfast staff was ok as long as the lady in charge (unfortunately I forgot the name) was working. When she was off things slacked off.

Very nice hotel in an excellent location. the room was quite nice and airy. The breakfast was very good, as was the food in the restaurant. My only complaint is that they stop serving warm food after 8:30 p.m. and only cold food till 9. YOu have to plan to be back by then or you have no real options in the town.

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.

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.

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
