We stayed in nine hotels during our 3 week vacation and rate the Hotel Schiffmeister “great” from the perspectives of accommodations (comfortable large rooms and beds), and friendliness of owner/manager and staff. This was my sixth trip to Europe and my third time staying at this hotel (3 nights, 13 – 16 June 2011). Lake Konigsee is a pristine alpine lake surrounded by mountains near Berchtesgaden Germany, Bavaria. We enjoy this hotel because of the terrific location lakeside and right at the boat docks and shopping area, the historic feel, spacious rooms (we had room #1 on second floor and our room’s balcony overlooked the lake and you could see the “Eagles Nest” from our bathroom window), and cleanliness. Note: There are not many rooms with a lake view, and I think they are priced slightly higher, so be sure to specify exactly what you would like. Pro’s: Unbeatable location, reasonably priced, good complimentary continental breakfast, elevator, spacious and spotless room, clean bathroom with private toilet/shower, satisfactory TV with a variety of channels, and friendly staff. The hotel’s continental breakfast (located on second floor) was always freshly prepared with a good variety of Deli meats, cheeses and rolls, great coffee and hot chocolate, and a choice of juices (all hosted by a very sweet lady). We didn’t dine in the hotel except for breakfast, but we did discover a great place directly across the street from the hotel where that restaurant had a quick service “walk-up style” sidewalk stall selling very reasonable and delicious bratwurst sausages on a bun, ice cold drinks and wonderful ice cream cones. Note: There is a McDonalds at the village entrance. We had a great visit here and would not hesitate to choose this hotel again and again for all of my future stays!

Breakfast was nice, staff were friendly and helpful. Excellent location but room was tired and had seen better days the hotel itself was quite old fashioned - it was OK for one night

Historic hotel in one of the most beautiful areas of Germany. Very close to Berchtesgaden and the Eagles Nest. They offer a nice small breakfast. Good restaurants nearby.
I have stayed here several times and will continue to do so.

This was our 3rd visit and yes , i would do it again . You cannot expect better quality for 48 Euro per person per night including a nice breakfast and smiling staff and owner , at this beautiful location . Some of the rooms do have new beds now and fresh wallpaper . Some of the rooms though do have a very small bathroom with shower . If you want to stay longer than one night and want to be sure of a good room with a balcony , just call them , ask for the owner and tell him what you wish .
The Königssee-boats start right in front of the hotel every 30 minutes . Bus to Berchtesgaden leaves 5 min. walking distance from the Hotel . The Hotel just serves breakfast but there is a bavarian Restaurant downstairs and also a beergarden next to it .
