Charming traditional Bavarian hotel, the oldest in Oberammergau. The front desk people were friendly and helpful, especially Tom. The room was clean, comfortable and spacious, and the breakfast was very good, with lots of variety and plenty to eat. The breakfast waitress was welcoming and friendly and it enhanced the experience. At dinner, the hotel restaurant food was ok but not great. We were told the older, original section was full and we weren’t allowed to sit there, but we could see empty tables. The atmosphere was a bit stiff and unfriendly.Overall a great experience and I’d recommend the hotel.
