Hotel Blaue Gams

Extremely satisfied, very nice decorated hotrl and clean room, complimentary breakfast was great, has sauna as well and free parking

Ettal is one of the most picturesque little towns you will find in the alps of Germany. The room was lovely, I got the room with the view of the Abbey, which I would suggest over the view of the hill where the sheep are, just because the hill is really steep and I don't think you really get all that great of a view. We ate at the hotel a couple times and the food was really good. English was not typically spoken here, but we got by no problem with our very limited German vocabulary. You can pretty much walk to anywhere you want within the town in just a few minutes. The Abbey is beautiful and there are many other restaurants to choose from. Definitely take a day trip to walk Partnach Gorge, it is amazing! Take another day trip to Lindhoff Castle. Both are only about a 10-20 min drive away.

We thought this was an excellent hotel - the rooms were very comfortable (with a sensational view), the staff were friendly and the quality of the food was brilliant. The hotel is nicely situated for Garmisch Partenkirchen and Oberammagau

Day 13 (of 20) of Our2022EuroAdventure from Budapest, cruise along the Donau, and overland through Bayerische then Paris. Wish we spend more than one night (of a guided trip) at Blaue Gams! Here for the Leidenschaftsspiel and all its historical/spiritual significance. The location is ideal, almost off the beaten path. Cannot overstate the extraordinary vistas from our lanai (balcony). Watching the small town below wake up to a new day as we prepared to depart was quite memorable. The hotel serves a delicious breakfast and coffees to suit every international taste — in a dining room where strangers can mingle and share stories; even as they rushed to move on to the next adventure. Appreciated the cozy rustic feel of the place. Will certainly go out of way to stay here on the next trek. Hoagland recommended. Check it out.

I booked this hotel through the Oberammergau Passion Play. I had no idea what to expect. The hotel was lovely. The staff is exceptionally helpful. The decor is lovely, very Tyrolean. My room was small and in the back of the old building, and I could not have been more pleased. There was a balcony. Across a small bridge was a meadow where the goats pastured. The gentle tinkle of their bells was very calming. The bed and bedding could not have been better. I was so pleased to have an actual shower! ( I don't have a handle on the hand held sprays found in many hotels and tend to flood the bathroom.) While small, there was plenty of room for everything. (It was a little odd to have an actual key. It took some getting used to.) I cannot rave about the breakfast enough. I tend to stay in 4 &5 star hotels and the breakfast is a good as any. The selection was excellent. The food was fresh. The breads were fantastic. The dinners were all included in my Passion Play package. They were quite good, but I imagine that when one orders from a menu, the meals are better than quite good. The waitstaff is excellent. The surrounding grounds are beautiful. It really is difficult to leave them. The views are gorgeous. The bus stop is just down the hill from the hotel. It is easy to get to Oberammergau or Schloss Linderhoff. The only drawback is that the hotel is up a hill. It isn't a problem if you are driving, but it is a steep set of stairs with a suitcase if you take the bus. A taxi is just 19€ from Oberau station. It is well worth the money.
