The hotel is already getting old. 70/80 years style through and through. The room/bathroom has real nostalgic value. Including loose toilet seats, stuck windows, etc. The staff, on the other hand, is very friendly and accommodating. The breakfast is also very good.Hotel: 2 stars. Staff: 4 stars - adds up to a solid 3 stars.

The hotel is located near a relatively busy road (increased noise in the rooms facing the street) but not far from the center, about a 2-minute walk, parking is also provided in the yard.The hotel remembers better times, but is clean and everything without major problems.Only breakfast is available, but there are a number of good restaurants and cafes nearby.

Long-established, listed hotel in the center of Berchtesgaden. The visit is like a journey back in time to the 80s! The rooms and furnishings are very well maintained and preserved in their original condition from the 80s! Only the television is a modern LED device! In addition, the room booked via HRS for 70 euros (excluding breakfast) was very generously calculated by the nice concierge at the same price including breakfast (!) with the information "that's fine!" Unfortunately, the media already states that that the hotel operation will be given up in favor of new rental apartments this year in autumn 2023!

Simple hotel in the center of Berchtesgaden. The breakfast is tasty, the staff is friendly. Perfect for starting a hike lasting several days.
