Spent 1 night in July 2005. We were the only people staying there. Frau Scharfenberg provided a tour and shared with us the history of the facility and shared private pictures from the late 1930’s and 1940’s with us. Was given access to a much more vast expanse of the entire obersalzburg bunker complex, that is not for public view. Amazing evening at the Turken and oh the stories Frau Scharfenberg shared with us. Our rooms were converted WSS holding rooms. Sad to say Frau Scharfenberg has passed and the Turken is closed for now. A wonderful woman. An amazing stay and hospitality, and the views and history you just can’t pay for!

This hotel survived WW2 and has the entrance to a 42 kilometer long series of bunkers Hitler built around the Eagles Nest. Amazing historical experience $5.50 to get in. This is only one section of the tunnels that would have connected to the rest of the bunker system by then Eagles Nest. This section also contains the closed off part that is labelled as Hitlers private bunker area. More bunkers are visible at the nearby museum.

We had a wonderful stay at this historic hotel. We had initially only reserved one of the smaller rooms, but decided to upgrade to one of the larger rooms in the original section of the hotel with a balcony overlooking Berchtesgaden. Unfortunately we brought rainy weather with us when we showed up, but still caught some beautiful views of the town below. The upgrade was still well worth it as it also gave us in room "facilities", which isn't always a given in older European hotels.This was one of my favorite hotels during our 3 week stay in Europe. The access to the bunker system underneath the hotel is an added bonus. Not often you get a chance to explore part of a WWII bunker system for a few Euro....When we make it back to this part of Germany we'll be staying here again. Great experience!

Beautiful interior, breathtaking view and included in and surrounded by history. No TV, no wifi to dilute the experience. The hotel offers a breakfast bar including bacon and eggs, and lunch or an early dinner is just a short walk away near the dokumentation center. Grab a drink at the honor bar, take it to your balcony and enjoy the view of the Bavarian Alps in peace. Monika and the caretakers are top notch and I can't wait to visit again!

Hotel Zum Turken WWII Bunkers, great bunkers. It will cost you € 3,50, but it's well worth it. The bunkers are bigger than in the Documentation Centre.

Don't expect a luxury hotel, but expect an original hotel who will take you back in time. The hotel owner will make you feel at home, the true German breakfast is very good. For those who want to feel the history of the Obersalzberg this is the place to stay!
