We stayed here for 4 nights and had a wonderful stay. We had a room with balcony facing the mountains and town and what a view! In time I learned I could see the Eagle’s Nest, the Salt Mine, the top of where we took the Jennerbahn all from our balcony. So this is a great place to explore from.

The building and property overall is very, very well maintained. The room was very clean. The beds were comfortable. The bathroom was small, but amazingly functional. There is parking on the property. The breakfast was traditional for Bavaria and was good. The view from the outdoor patio while having breakfast is fabulous. We did not have dinner here so I can not comment on that.

The Internet is available in the lobby. We had our lap top and had no problems.

The husband and wife caretakers work very hard and they do everything including the cooking and serving of meals. The only other help I ever saw was for cleaning the rooms. The husband’s English is pretty good. They are kind of quiet people, but whatever assistance we needed they provided. Not one complaint for our stay here and I highly recommend this property. You could stay here without your own car (we had a car) and use public transportation as well.

My husband and I stayed here for three nights in August 2009 based on reviews from Tripadvisor . We arrived on a Sunday around 600 PM which I dont think went over too well as it was in the middle of dinner service . I think this is a family owned and run hotel so the proprietor is also the chef . The challenge with that is that guests seem to have to adjust to his routine in this little hotel.The room however was extremely clean and roomy (by German standards ) even though the furniture is a little dated . Our room had a large balcony facing the picturesque street with mountains in the background - absolutely beautiful ! The bathroom had the smallest shower I have ever seen that you have to step up into so that was a little scary but we worked it out . We ate dinner there the first night because we arrived a little late and didnt know where anything else was . Dinner was actually quite delicious and eating on the outside terrace looking at the mountains cannot be beat . The breakfast each morning was also good -very similiar to breakfasts we had at other hotels during our trip . The proprietors wife runs the breakfast room and while neither of them speak much english she will bring you tea or coffee if you like.The only downside was the communication difficulties - our fault too :) - and no towels in our room when we arrived.We didnt get towels until the next day because I couldnt find anyone to ask . Reception closes at 900 , the place is locked up tight but he provides you with a key to the front door that also gets your roomkey out of the lockbox where you put it when you leave the hotel.Overall this was an eccentric quirky kind of hotel - maybe more suited to German travellers but we really enjoyed it and you cant beat the view !

Stayed at the Hotel Krone for a week. We took the advice of previous reviewers and reserved a mountain-facing room. If we hadn't have done this, we would have been disappointed.

The actual hotel isn't that big and I was a little disappointed on arrival after seeing their publicity photos on the website. The hotel is tricky to find and I would agree that you would want to pay out about E10 for a taxi from the train station. It would probably take about 15 minutes to walk and it's all uphill.

It only takes about 10 mins to walk in and out of the town centre but there is a short stretch of steep hill to negotiate so it depends on your fitness level!!

My main memory of the hotel was the feeling that as a paying guest I had to fit-in with the day-to-day lives of the hotel owners rather than feeling like a welcome guest. The staff were perfectly polite but I didn't feel particularly 'welcome'. The breakfast was very average though if the weather is nice, you can sit on the patio. The room was clean and adequately furnished.

The only thing that made this hotel memorable was the view of the mountains from the balcony - breathtaking!

Hotel Krone is charming and quaint, both inside and out, but provides guests with only the basic services/amenities. We rented a single room as well as a double during our two-night stay. The hotel is just outside of town, which means we had to drive to downtown Berchtesgaden to eat dinner.

The rooms were clean, cozy, and quite attractive, with traditional carvings and decorations and a lovely seating niche in the double. The beds were soft and comfortable. Each room had its own balcony with a spectacular view of the mountains surrounding Berchtesgaden. Like most other European hotels, the Krone does not have A/C, but that was made bearable by cleverly constructed windows and balcony doors that could be cracked open without creating a security risk. However, although the bathrooms were clean, they were also quite small and devoid of all but the basic amenities (soap, one packet of shampoo/body-wash which they failed to replace on the second day, and towels). In addition, although the each room is provided with a telephone, a small TV, and an alarm clock, several of the electronic amenities were not functioning upon our arrival; one alarm clock was permanently broken. Lastly, there was no free bottled water.

As for meals, the hotel served a free breakfast as well as dinner every day. Although we never attended dinner, the breakfast proved to be simple but tasty. The back porch of the hotel was an excellent spot to eat, and provided more breathtaking views of Berchtesgaden and the surrounding mountains.

The innkeeper was warm and friendly, and gave good directions to local attractions despite his limited English. He also volunteered to provide us with useful tourist discount cards, which we returned upon checkout. However, he turned in for the night by 9 or 10pm, closing the check-in desk, locking up the single computer terminal in the lobby, turning off the free wireless internet access, and turning out all of the lights in the hallways before going to bed. This made for a frustrating experience when we wanted to check our email or search the internet for travel information and directions after 9pm. It also meant that we ended up stumbling around in near-darkness, trying to unlock the doors to our rooms without being able to see the keyhole, because the hall lights were out.

As for public spaces, other than the porch with the tables and the wonderful view, there was also the aforementioned lobby (which included the computer terminal, the check-in desk, and a few tables and chairs, as well as its own lovely view of the mountains) and the indoor dining room (also quite clean and charming). However, the staircases between stories were oddly placed, and the elevator was so small that we had a hard time taking our luggage up to our rooms when we checked in.

Overall, Hotel Krone was satisfactory; we would stay there again, if able to make alternate arrangements for accessing the internet.
