Ettal as an area doesn’t have a lot to offer. We wanted to go up the tallest mountain in Germany and this was a convenient stop over hotel for that purpose. as the drive to the mountain wasn’t far. The hotel is fairly large but rather dated inside. The young lady on reception was cheerful and her English wasn’t too bad and she tried to help us. However, on the first night we ate in their restaurant and the servers spoke no English, no menus in English and were fairly unhelpful The food was pretty average. The hotel has a small bar near reception but everyone seems to drink outside the front of the hotel where the public can come in also. The room was big and comfortable but the whole atmosphere of the hotel is it needs a refurbish.

The hotel has lived many times and still likes it very much. The hotel is very warm, not very big, parking at the door is still very convenient. The garden has a swimming pool and a bath pool. Even if it is cold in the winter morning, you can take a hot bath. The breakfast is very good and I like the breakfast here the most. Staying here is suitable for driving by yourself, otherwise it is not particularly convenient.

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.

3 of us travelled to Oberammergau for the Passion play and the Arnika was our assigned hotel. Really warm welcome when we arrived, rooms were comfortable and spotless. Beautiful views from our wee balconies. A very peaceful part of the town so it was really relaxing. The food was delicious. A really varied breakfast, hot and cold buffet; yogurt, cheese, cold meats, fresh fruit, bacon, eggs, etc. Our evening meals were again delicious with a good choice on the menu. It's a wonderful place to stay!!

We were there just for a meal as part of our visit to the Passion plays. It was well organised, the food was excellent, drinks served quickly, time was of an essence as we were there during the interval. It’s a 10 - 15minute walk from the main part of the town, but there is a free bus which circulates every 20 minutes.

Stopped for one night only in this charming village, wish we had time for a longer stay. Mammhofer is close enough to walk to everything, but just outside of the busiest part of the village (quiet!). Josef runs the family-owned place and was a gracious host, and easily accommodated us when we showed up for our reservations a day early (my mistake). Room was clean & comfortable, had a great shower. His breakfast eggs were the best we had on our two-weeks through Bavaria (he added cracked red pepper), and we would definitely stay here again when we return. Thanks Josef!
