“Beautiful location, great food, great beer and helpful staff”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 August 2011

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 a great indoor pool. This hotel is absolutely on our 'must visit again' list.

“Off the beaten track and a respite from Oberammergau”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 August 2011

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.

“Only false note was a fellow American (alas)!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 December 2010
1
person found this review helpful

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 try as hard as they did. But we found everyone to be unfailingly hospitable, from the waitstaff who were indulgent with our clumsy attempts at the courtesies in German, to the receptionist who gladly sent my postcards for me.
To complain - as someone else has done - about where they were seated at dinner, is frankly a little embarrassing. We were all on a package deal. Get over it! Had the reviewer followed instructions, she would have found a table set aside especially for her and her son, with their name on it, which was hers for the rest of her stay. A charming, welcoming idea, we thought, that made us feel instantly at home.
We loved the dinner - apple strudel and other German tasty treats were just what we wanted to try. Isn't that part of the point of travel?
In fact our only false note was a fellow American (alas) guest, who having burnt her own toast at the magnificent breakfast buffet, brazenly "stole" my daughter's!

“Nice stay - quiet surroundings - nice views”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 August 2010

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 hot and cold buffet. The dinners were well cooked and traditional German fare. Of course, the dessert was Apple Strudel. The location is across the street from the Kloster Ettal (Monastery), which has a beautiful church and grounds. Currently is the home of a boarding school. The famous Kloster Ettal liquors are sold here. Very friendly service at the front desk. There is a spa on site and an indoor pool.

“Great location hotel within 5 mins of Oberammergau and The Passion Play”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 18 August 2010

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 service staff was very accommodating. It was raining so we didn't tour the grounds and had no time to try the spa or indoor pool.

We stayed two nights. We didn't have car, but the parking lot was big and spacious for autos. Hotel had a nice Bavarian charm and was across the street in an easy walk to the abbey.
