Private bathroom was a big plus which we take it for granted in US. I'd rather pay a little extra for a room to have a private bathroom for our comfort. There was a balcony with seating for two with a view of mountains. We could hear folks having a good time from the nearby biergarten/restaurant, but it all died down around 22:00. For some reason, it was rather quiet on Saturday and Sunday nights. The church (St. Peter und Paul two blocks away) bell rang throughout the night, but it was more soothing than nuisance for me. Breakfast was excellent in typical Bavarian fashion like freshly baked rolls, meat and cheese plate (photo). You can help yourself to müsli, fresh fruit cups, yogurt, muffins (sweet) besides that. Breakfast lady asks you and will make you eggs and bacon if you want (photo). Staff were very pleasant, courteous and accommodating. I believe it was a family-owned and operated pension--very nice folks. There was a three-generation family photo from 2010 Passion Play. I understood they will participate again in 2022. The only thing lacking at this hotel was a restaurant, so we went into town for meals beyond breakfast. No problem. Because of its central location in Oberammergau, you can walk to most of the attractions/restaurants/shops in town. It's very convenient. Limited free parking is available which makes it very convenient.

It came with a bread dumpling which wasn't that great...a bit dense and seemed not entirely re-heated. But we also feasted on excellent liver dumpling soup and a huge gorgeous salad. So great!!

From the minute you walk in, you can tell you've entered a first-class establishment. The staff is friendly and helpful. The rooms are exquisite! They're large with comfortable beds lots of room to feel at home - or even better than home. My only complaint as a business traveler is that there are no exercise facilities on property. A little room with some cardio equipment and weights would make this location perfect. If this doesn't matter to you, I'd definitely chose Hotel Maximillian!

Let me preface this review by stating that I am not the biggest fan of Bavarian food, but felt…read moreobligated to have at least one traditional local meal while traveling through Bavaria. We had the beer-fried cheese as an appetizer; it was a good comfort food. I had the veal schnitzel which came with a cornmeal coating. I am not sure the cornmeal coating worked as it was more crunchy than crispy (1 star off), but the veal was tender and seasoned well. My husband got the bratwurst with sauerkraut. The ground meat to make bratwurst in Bavaria is more homogeneous and smooth than that in the U.S.; I liked the texture and flavor. I left still feeling the same about Bavarian food unfortunately, but this place gave me a bit more optimism.

My husband ordered the salmon pasta and that was really delicious as well. They have plenty of seating indoors and even have a kids seat. I highly recommend if you're in the area.

To be fair - it is a very old hotel that has been adapted for modern times. However - that is no…read moreexcuse for some basic issues that appeared during our stay. For starters - there is NO air conditioning or air flow at all in the rooms. That would be fine with floor fans or ceiling fans. However this wasn't available either. We were with a tour group and we did not have any fans in our room. Everyone in the group complained at how hot and stuffy it was on the 2nd floor (in mid-July). Some additional floor or small desk fans would be a small investment for the hotel to make to ensure their guests have a decent night sleep. In addition - there is body wash in the shower but no shampoo. Why no shampoo? Makes no sense. Also this was the first hotel on our tour that charged for water in the rooms - other hotels did not. All the rooms are different shapes - some rooms have balconies, some don't. Some have a toilet IN the shower, some don't. But you pay the same price. Avoid room 222 at all costs - it is super small and cramped. Finally there is no real amenities at all including no gym/workout area and no coffee maker in the room so you have to wait until past 6:30 am when breakfast starts to get coffee. The area is beautiful and the hotel itself is cute but the rooms are just not good at all.

The reviews on cleanliness and rude staff had me on edge, but my experience was the opposite. Our room was exceptionally clean, and I adored the quirky decor. The staff knew our names when we walked in (off-season and pushing 10pm) and went right into playful banter. The beer from the vending machine was cold & the glasses were clean. We arrived too late to enjoy some of the other amenities. Breakfast was good, and the servers were friendly. I've already bookmarked this one for a repeat visit.

Petra welcomed us warmly as we checked in and showed us to our room. Our room was very spacious, comfortable and quiet suite.

We enjoyed a very decent breakfast buffet (photos, currently being served cafeteria style. It probably will go back to what it was (self serve) once we're done with this COVID pandemic. One could always hope.) Great location with only four-minute short walk to the town center with shops, restaurants and attractions.

The hotel is within short walking distance of downtown (many restaurants and shops). But with its own beer garden it's hard to find a reason to leave.
