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.

We weren't quite sure what the 'pig knuckle' might be so we ordered it. We are glad we did. It was a perfectly roasted and then fried pork piece on the bone. All the meat fell from the bones and was just so tender and juicy. The fried exterior was so crispy. Yum! 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!!

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.

Wow! This place is a gem in a beautiful town. My family and I stopped here on a rainy day during…read morethe week for an early dinner. The waitstaff is really friendly and accommodating to foreigners who don't speak German. They have an English menu too which is great. Everything my party ordered was amazing! There was no food left on the table once we were through. I ordered the roasted salmon and it was amazing. So flavorful and fresh tasting. 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. I'll definitely be returning again if I'm ever in town.

Petra welcomed us warmly as we checked in and showed us to our room. Our room was very spacious, comfortable and quiet suite. It provided us an excellent sleep quality with very comfortable queen-sized bed. Bathroom was a little tight, but I can't really complain about it because it's private (you cannot take it for granted in Europe for sure). Free private parking, free wifi, and free breakfast. 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. It's also right next to the train/bus station for your convenience.

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!

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!

Rooms were large, nicely decorated, and quiet - only bad thing about room was it got quite warm at night and opening window made it too cold, would be nice to have a thermostat.
