Set amidst the beautiful mountain scenery, this hotel is full of charm with great food in their restaurant and bar area. The staff are helpful and, with the proximity of the local monastery and locally brewed beers, there is a superb range of beers and wines to accompany the food. The rooms are well equipped, comfortable and the hotel has... More

We stayed here and enjoyed the quiet, and tranquility compared to its cousins Oberammergau and Garmisch. Very Ikea-like in decor, the price, and the accomodations were terrific. The staff was very friendly, and there are trails to hike and in the winter cross country skiing.

We had a wonderful time at the Ludwig der Bayer as part of the Passion Play package: the setting is magnificent, and the air invigoratingly fresh; the bedrooms and bathrooms are spacious and clean, the staff couldn't have been more charming and helpful, and the food was very good indeed. Considering we were a captive audience, they didn't have to... More

We stayed here as part of an Oberammergau Passion Play package. It is only a 10 minute drive to Oberammergau with the bus stop directly across the street. The rooms are unpretentious but very clean. The patio out back looks onto the hillside. The restaurant served us dinner and breakfast as part of the package. The breakfast was a good... More

This was a small but clean hotel within a 5min drive to the town of Oberammergau. The staff was friendly, the food pleasureful. Rooms were small but clean and neat. The hotel bills itself as a 3 star and it is, so you shouldn't expect more. We were part of a group, so I don't know the pricing. The food... More

Mty son and I spent a lot of money on a Passion Play package and stayed at Ludwig der Bayer in Ettal as part of it. By the time we booked most of the Oberammergau accomodation was full. We arrived by taxi at about 5 p.m. and were directed to an outside house in the grounds, where we found a... More

I think this hotel manages to survive because of its proximtiy to Oberammergau. It is large and ordinary, food was ordinary, the manager rude. even when their was a fire alarm at 6.00 a.m. the manger still managed to be rude. Nice swimming pool

We have stayed here for two nights as part of a passion play package. The hotel is clean, the rooms are spacious and the food excellent. The hotel is selling drinks at the reception till after two on a Sunday night and this gets noisy.

We arrived there in the afternoon and they didn't find our reservation which we even confirmed by e-mail phone a few weeks earlier. Instead of the double rooms they transferred us in the back building facing the valley and check us in into two apartments. Usually they are meant for families who do their own cooking and stuff. They were... More
