Quaint Bavarian Hotel
A quaint Bavarian style hotel, Ettal is a small village so there aren’t many things to do there, but the hotel is right next to a bus stop.

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.

Highly recommended!
I had a great 4 nights staying at this hotel - which is owned by the monastery across the street. The highlights for me were 1) Helmut, the night guard (extremely friendly and with encyclopedic knowledge on German/Bavarian history and politics); 2) the pool (quite nice); 3) the sauna (only open from 3 pm, but also very nice); and 4) the bed (VERY nice mattress). Highly recommended!
