The property is well situated in a quiet road with a magnificent view of the mountains and the possibility of taking your dog for a walk in the woods right next to the hotel. We didn't use the pool/sauna/steam room so I cannot comment on these.
Set in the heart of the picturesque Ettal valley in the Ammergau Alps, this country-style hotel enjoys a peaceful setting and offers views of Ettal Abbey.

Beautifully set on a hill surrounded by nature and farm animals. Easily walkable to the main area and several things to do in the village and nearby villages. Who doesn’t want to wake up to a cat, sheep, or grazing cows. Outdoor restaurant and good breakfast. Outdoor area with benches and lounging chairs to relax.
Sauna and steam room a plus. Easy access to castles.

The breakfast was excellent. The room was very comfortable and spacious, and the balcony offered a great view of the mountains. The location was excellent in historic Garmisch, which is surrounded by shops and restaurants walking distance from the hotel.

The location was beautiful and the room we were in had an AMAZING view! The owner/manager was so attentive and kind. Our room was SO charming and I love that we had a balcony to sit outside and enjoy the sunshine and the Mountain View. The shower and bathroom were perfect—warm water and good water pressure in the shower. Breakfast was wonderful and it was just the most charming and positive experience!
This traditional, family-run hotel offers rooms with mountain views and free Wi-Fi internet in the center of Oberammergau. The main train station is less than 984 feet from the hotel.

The property’s location was perfect for exploring the town. Our room and bed were comfortable, and the balcony was very enjoyable. The hosts were warm, friendly, and congenial. In the morning, the breakfast is incredible! And parking was free.
The 4-star superior hotel has been family-run since 1634 and offers an indoor swimming pool, various saunas, steam baths, a children's playground and a cozy lounge.

Our room price included a five-course dinner in the hotel restaurant. The quality of the kitchen exceeded our expectations. Excellent dinner, friendly staff who noted the birthday of my wife, good value for money. Our room was recently renovated. Nice experience!
Ettals main, and only, attraction is the Abbey. Which is certainly impressive. You'll most likely visit Ettal for the region, as it is a great point to start your hikes and/or visit Oberammergau and Garmisch-Partenkichen. Munchen and Innsbruck are only an hour drive away.

This busy hotel has the feeling of a youth hostel.
This busy hotel has the feeling of a youth hostel. Rooms are simply but practically equipped. There’s a constant coming and going of tourists. Unfortunately,
I couldn’t bring me dog to breakfast. I wasn’t told that outside it is possible.
Breakfast was basic. Scrambled eggs came in squared chunks, thus probably defrozen. Lots of plastic (Marmelade, Butter,…)
The whole personnel is polish. Everyone was very friendly and helpful, I had just expected a Bavarian host.
All in all my stay here felt like holidays off an assembly line.

Beautiful town nestled in the mountains.
Beautiful town nestled in the mountains. The monastery is right at the bottom of the hill from the hotel and it’s conveniently located near Schloss Linderhof and Oberammergau. There were other hotels but we chose this one for the view AND based on the menus at other restaurants this was the best. We took a self tour of the monastery as well as bought beer from their brewery and cheese too. The hotel served the beer from the monastery as well as used it in some of their specialty dishes.

The location is beautiful with the mountains in the background. There is a lot to see in the area. The only unfortunate part was that we were between seasons and many restaurants and stores had limited hours or were closed.

Ettal is a great place for sight seeing and visiting castles etc. The one downside is the location. The weather can change very quickly, a sunny hot day can turn into a very wet and dower one in the blink of an eye. Looking over the valley when it is obscured by clouds and rain can be a bit disheartening. If your looking for wall to wall sunshine then this is not the best choice.

Very wonderful village and the surrounding mountains are stunning. For anything longer then 3 day stay though, a bike is essential to being able to get to the surrounding towns for groceries and such. The attractions in Ettal are far more then one would expect with such a small population, but the business hours on google are not to be trusted as they change with the seasons and holidays.
This hotel is lovely! The beds, linens, decor, view (from our room) location, parking....fantastic. The staff was very helpful and friendly. We were there for the Passion Play in nearby village/town and this hotel was perfect. And, they had the most beautiful and healthy houseplants I've ever seen!
I support several vacation rentals in Hawaii and I'm very selective. This is a beautiful property and I would highly recommend staying here.

The staff (especially Christina) and her hospitality. We are a family of 5 who stayed in two suites for one night. We attended the amazing Passion Play in Oberammergau and enjoyed the proximity from Ettal to there. The rooms were clean and spacious and the breakfast was delicious. The hotel is furnished beautifully too. Hope to return and visit the monastery across the road.
Stylish Bavarian hotel located at countryside of Ettal. Great place for mental health and relaxation. Truly regret we could not enjoy the wellness & spa due to late night arrival (stayed just for one night during motorbike trip). Cowbell wakeup sound from roaming animals, great hospitality and rich tasty breakfasts will remain unforgettable moments of Blau Gams.
Hotel situated at small town Ettal, just besides Ettal Abbey. You may pay the visit to the Abbey as lot as your like. Design like a castle, but inside more like a family with many lovely furnishings. Swimming pool very good, garden lovely. Staffs very nice and easy to communicate, supportive to guest. Breakfast also very nice and rich.
Stayed here with my family for new years eve. The hotel is beautiful, staff are very helpful and friendly, the rooms are very comfortable and cosy. Our new years eve experience here was just perfect. I couldn't recommend it enough. The food and dancing was such fun. Thank you to all for making our experience in Ettal unforgettable.
Beautiful, peaceful location. Hotel is immaculate and very comfortable. It's rare that I can find comfortable pillows, but they had them here! Staff is friendly and helpful, and the restaurant is great for breakfast and dinner (we didn't eat lunch). Perfect spot for touring many popular areas. Highly recommend!
This is a cozy hotel with a welcoming and friendly atmosphere. It is in a charming little village surrounded by picturesque Bavarian mountains, with the sound of sheep bells.
Very clean hotel, rooms have their own little balconies. Hotel has a restaurant and little bar, and a lovely little pool area.
The Hotel has definitely exceeded my expectations. The check-in experience was smooth and very friendly, welness & spa area has been fully renovated with the great saunas including Aufguss. Food in the restaurant is very tasty! Pet friendly! Totally Recommended for stay in Deutsche Alps.
We love the Hotel Blaue Gams - that’s why we keep coming back. The rooms are comfy, bathrooms newly renovated, the staff are lovely and helpful even in stressful situations, the food is delicious - breakfast outstanding, the environment and landscapes just divine - literally!
Nice apartment in a great location. Very clean and parking is directly in front of the property. Close to excellent restaurants and cafes and a 4 minute drive to Oberammergau and about 26 minutes to Garmisch. 6 minute drive to the alpine coaster. Great price!
Free parking space. A washing machine and dryer. Good equipped kitchen. Contact with the hosts was only digital, but quick and friendly response. Ettal is a nice village and a good starting point for walking paths.
In a beautiful location with fantastic views of Ettal. Only a 30min drive to the Eibsee/Zugspitze gondala. The apartment was very clean, modern and with full kitchen amenities. Thankyou again!
Everything in the hotel is extremely clean. Sauna area is recently renovated. Great breakfast, kind and caring staff. The area is quiet. Recommended for a long stay.
A really great hotel. Amazing view and garden. Kind and helpful staff. Very good and clean spa. One of the best hotels we've visited (we visited a lot!).
