Hotel & Restaurant Blaue Gams(Hotel Blaue Gams)

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.

We stayed as part of a tour which included the Passion Play. The setting is beautiful and we were lucky to receive a room facing the abbey. We also had a balcony which was lovely. Our meals were always buffet, even for dinner, but I assume this was because of they were so busy because of the play. Do note there is no air conditioning nor a fan, although I doubt many alpine hotels have those. We were there during a rather warm spell and had to sleep with the windows open. There are not screens on the windows. The bathrooms are tiny and only one person can make use them at a time. Although it seems like we had numerous complaints, we actually enjoyed our two night stay and I would recommend the property.

This is a beautiful property in a beautiful tiny village in Germany! Super clean and staff are very friendly. They also spoke English which was great since my German is pretty bad. HIGHLY recommend!!!!

I have notheing but good things to say about this Hotel. The hotel, staff , resturaunt, parking, location. Everything was amazing and the best place we stayed at during our two week trip through Germany.

If you looking for a genuine German Hotel, this is it!!! Ive traveled Germany for 40 yrs and this is one great hotel and the location is outstanding overlooking Ettal. Great restaurant and breakfast. I will be back once in the area.
