The Staff at the Alphotel displayed an amazing degree of compassion as we faced a very tragic personal loss during our stay. They went beyond what was needed or expected to assist us in our time of crisis and were nothing but caring, kind and considerate as we dealt with our tragedy.

Very clean and presentable property, friendly staff and amazing views to the mountains from the room. Great breakfast too. Didn't use the pool. Ideal to have a car to stay here as not much about but the hotel, thats all we needed.

We (2 adults and 3 children) stayed in the top floor apartment which has two bedrooms, bathroom and a kitchen. The apartment was immaculate and so comfortable. It was fun for us to stay in the attic and we loved the gorgeous outlook. Breakfast was delicious, the owners were helpful and the village is beautiful. We loved our stay here and would highly recommend it.

They put me in a room with a single bed and I reserved double. It was hot! After my inquiry they miraculous found a room with bigger bed even though I was told the whole hotel had no available rooms.

Great stay!
Originally had booked a 2 bedroom apartment but it wasn't available due to a burst pipe. Hotel staff were great about accommodating us in regular rooms and making sure we were comfortable. Kids loved the pool, hotel had amazing views of the mountains!

Hard bed and bad pillow
The bed was REALLY hard. Although European beds tend to be harder than American ones, this one was almost unsleepable. However there was a great view and great breakfast. The staff was friendly. Altogether not a bad place that I would stay again. But be ready for a hard mattress.

Good hotel in excellent location
We originally booked and payed for an apartment but due to maintenance issues, the hotel substituted the apartment for two individual rooms sharing a balcony and threw in a complimentary breakfast. Breakfast had a good range of choices and nice surroundings, but service had much to be desired since we waited 15 minutes for someone to come wipe down the table we were going to sit at even though we brought it to the attention of front desk several times. While an additional discount would have been a good gesture for their mistake with not giving us the original apartment we booked, we were overall happy with the hotel and stay. Beautiful view and Ettal is a very charming village. Definitely recommend.

A little piece of Paradise.
Looking out out the back door of our room at the Alp's foothill's was fantastic. Low hanging clouds, water falls and shear beauty. The town of Ettal was beautiful. We walked through the meadows leading to the mountains. I have been to some pretty places in my life but for me this was the most beautiful and pleasant of all. Mind you that this was in early May.

Convenient location
We had originally booked 2 rooms for 6 people but only 5 of us were able to come. The hotel staff apologized that the "apartment" we were supposed to have had experienced a flood and was not available. They put all five of us in a room with two double beds and a pull out couch. It was cramped but they did charge us less and included our breakfasts for our two day stay. The location is perfect for many of the local attractions. We should have stayed in the area many more days to enjoy them all. The kids were disappointed that the pool was frigid and the hot tub was even colder, plus other guests also were upset that while the pool hours were posted until 10 PM even at 8 PM we couldn't figure out how to even put the lights on in the pool area.

Good value for the money
Hotel staff were very friendly and accommodating upon check in and throughout our stay. Great mountain views from all rooms. Hotel is located just down the road from Ettal's town center which is within walking distance in a quiet neighborhood. Just minutes from the monastery and schloss Linderhof, and about a 40min drive to Neuschwanstein. Parking at the hotel is a bit limited. Rooms are clean and done up in usual German flare and come with balcony or patio. The bathroom however feels more like something you'd expect from a cruise ship then a nice hotel. Although you get a towel warmer which is great, be prepared to bring your own shampoo, soaps, conditioners etc and shower in a small space. Sauna/spa open at 4pm and close at 9 (as does the kitchen) so if you sightsee during the day and eat a late dinner you may not have a chance to visit the pool or sauna while they're open. Two saunas are offered at different temperatures and the pool is a cold plunge. Quite, clean and overall pretty good value for the money.
