So I don't know how to say it. But I'm so disappointed. I thought okay, if I don't want to eat something at the countless snack bars, then we'll stop by. The card was bulky, nothing that really appealed to me. Well, I thought to myself, order chicken steak with champions and croquettes, for €19.50 you can't go wrong. When my food came I thought to myself that it now at least has to score with taste. I was disappointed there too. The food wasn't exactly what you expected for the price. Portion size is debatable. But in my opinion it could have been a little more. Of course the taste didn't make it any better, it reminded me of food in a youth hostel. It gets 1 star from me because unfortunately there is no option to give it none. We paid almost 77 euros for 2 large Fantas, 1 large shandy and three meals. I find that outrageous and at these prices. So everyone who reads this please don't make the same mistake, save your money and eat a currywurst from the stand around or opposite. Tastes better and only costs a fifth. The Berghof sees me again when I walk past. P. S. My plate is already missing a few mushrooms and a broccoli floret.

Great mountain hotel - the prices are certainly quite high - but also consider the location. We ate very well, the portions were sufficient and everything was fresh - the trout was crispy on the outside and fried to perfection on the inside, which is how it should be. We'd love to come back :)

We've only been out for dinner so far. We always enjoyed it, with consistently good quality. The service was always friendly, the prices were reasonable. The view is of course incredible and always worth a trip.

Unfortunately, at 7:30 p.m. you can't get any more drinks because the "house guests are already through". It's a shame I don't know that from previous years. Opening hours until 10 p.m.

I'm always happy to come back here and I'm never disappointed.A special place, the cable cars go up at 10 a.m. and the last one down at 6 p.m. and then you have the witches' dance place almost to yourself 😍🙏For me, the hotel staff is always nice and polite and accommodating.The food tastes good and I sleep very well

Since my review from yesterday was unfortunately not published, even though I didn't offend or otherwise personally attack anyone, here's my review again. So much for Google reviews.So I had dinner there with my wife yesterday. The sheer catastrophe. I ordered pork schnitzel with croquettes and mushrooms, my wife ordered a large salad plate.My meal: 5 croquettes, "mushroom sauce" from the can with some indefinable pieces of mushrooms, a schnitzel about 4mm thick at most, where the breading had already fallen off just by looking at it.Oh, and there were also 2 pieces of “rubber broccoli”. Price: EUR 22.50. I cover my wife's salad plate with a cloak of silence. Price: 12.90 EUR. There were also 2 small drinks for 5 EUR. So a total of 40.40 EUR. But 41.30 was already calculated. Whatever. According to my research, the ingredients for the meal cost a maximum of 10 EUR. Everything packaged from some supermarket. No trace of “fresh”. In addition, there was an absolutely unfriendly staff who spoke very poor German, from whom I received the following answers to my honest opinion when asked how we liked it (namely, not at all): "You ate it" and "it is "After all, everything has become more expensive." That doesn't work at all!Guys: I'm happy to pay a corresponding price for quality and a corresponding price-performance ratio. But this doesn't work at all. Pure rip-off! We've really never experienced anything like this before. So our advice: go there and eat a sausage (or two) or a steak. You'll get much cheaper and it will definitely taste better! So Google, I'm curious if you'll publish this review?!

My family and I stayed in this friendly hotel in a special place for the umpteenth time. The staff was super nice.When I arrived I almost collapsed when I saw this mega construction site. Of course, that takes a little away from the experience. Otherwise I can say that I always enjoy coming here
