Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating upon check in and throughout our stay. Great mountain views from all rooms. Hotel is located just down the road from Ettal's town center which is within walking distance in a quiet neighborhood. Just minutes from the monastery and schloss Linderhof, and about a 40min drive to Neuschwanstein. Parking at the hotel is a bit limited. Rooms are clean and done up in usual German flare and come with balcony or patio. The bathroom however feels more like something you'd expect from a cruise ship then a nice hotel. Although you get a towel warmer which is great, be prepared to bring your own shampoo, soaps, conditioners etc and shower in a small space. Sauna/spa open at 4pm and close at 9 (as does the kitchen) so if you sightsee during the day and eat a late dinner you may not have a chance to visit the pool or sauna while they're open. Two saunas are offered at different temperatures and the pool is a cold plunge. Quite, clean and overall pretty good value for the money.
