“If you are looking for friendly service do not expect to find it.”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 1 December 2011

This hotel has the following features:

Pro:
* The hotel is easy to get to from the train station – it’s a 5 minute direct public bus trip and nearly drops you off in front of the door
* The hotel room is spotlessly clean
* The hotel is located close to everything in the main town – restaurants, shopping etc.
* The beds are comfortable
* The streets are quiet at night time
* The shower pressure (when you remove the flow restrictor that was clogged) was great.
* The breakfast was satisfactory

Cons:
* The staff was less than satisfactory. Upon arriving at the hotel, the manager (I believe his name was Mr. Gfoeller) was very rude. He requested the voucher from our travel agent which I provided, but in order to keep my paper work in order, I asked if I may have a photocopy of the voucher, and he out right refused, after asking 3 or 4 times, he insisted that I have $0.50euro for the copy if I wanted one – we are talking about a sheet of paper!
* No free internet
* The shower pressure was really bad (the flow restrictor that was always clogging up clogged)

The lady serving breakfast was miserable, but her behaviour can be understood and excused, she was pregnant and had to serve a room full of people by herself without any help.

The cleaning lady was the friendliest and greeted with a smile and welcome – but sadly by the time we met her, the hotel

When the manager greeted us with such an unfriendly welcome, the whole hotel experience was ruined – thus why the poor rating.

I have been around German people, culture and hospitality all my life – and this is nothing like traditional service

Room Tip: If you absolutly have to stay at this hotel, get a street side room, with a balcony(I had a corner r...

“Great location - Great price!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 October 2011

This hotel is well within walking distance of all the shops and restaurants. It is an old building but is well furnished and, as always in Germany, spotlessly clean. There is also free parking in back of the hotel. The breakfast is very nice. Our room had a balcony and looked out toward the mountains - a breathtaking view.
Our initial check-in experience was met with a bit of rudeness from the clerk when we asked to see the rooms before making a decision, but the next day he was much nicer.

“There has to be better hotels...”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 September 2011

Stately old building, the service didn't match the building. Reserved parking was not for the faint of heart, and shared by more cars than there were spaces. On check in the young lady at the desk did not have the guest cards provided by the city with special reduced fares to various attractions in the area. Although we were charged for them, we never received them. Grumpy old man at the desk at check out refused to credit us for the non receipt of these, but we question if the city received their fee even tho collected by the hotel. No return visits for us!

“Great Hotel!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 August 2011

person found this review helpful

We booked a suite.... We had one medium sized balcony and a larger one. Both of breathtaking views of the river, Mountains (Alps), and great location! Right in the center of Berchesgaden, with plenty of souvenir shops, cafes, coffee shops, and fancy restaurants nearby. Casual and fancy dining close to the hotel. Has convenient laundry mat right next store. Detergent can be bought at the hotel front desk for only 1 Euro. Has big elevator! Great Staff! Everything is within 5 min. walking distance. Near Lake Konigsee, Bahnhof (Train station), Tourist Info Booth, etc. Can go to Tourist Information and book VERY Good tours of the nearby salt mines, and Eagle's Nest. Has good Sound of Music tours too! I plan on going back to the very nice Hotel. Would Recommend the hotel to anyone!!!!!
