The view down onto the little village of Ettal, the monastery, and the surrounding mountains was beautiful. The balcony, adorned with flower boxes, was very nice. The bed was comfortable. The spätzle was tasty. This is a nice hotel.

Gorgeous views, clean rooms. Just be aware there is no air conditioning so we slept with the windows open. Some of the restaurant crowd was loud.
