Jugendherberge Berchtesgaden

En mistään.

This was by far one of the worst places we have ever stayed. The photos, especially on Booking.com, are extremely misleading and make the hostel look much cleaner, brighter, and better maintained than it actually is. The reality was nothing like what was advertised. The room was in very poor condition. It smelled strongly of mold and dampness from the moment we entered. There were spider webs in multiple places, dust in the corners, and the overall impression was that the room had not been properly cleaned for a long time. Instead of feeling comfortable, we wanted to spend as little time in the room as possible. The bathroom was even worse. There was visible mold around the shower, cracked floor tiles, dirty grout, old yellowed silicone, and everything looked worn out and poorly maintained. It did not feel hygienic at all. The bathroom smelled strongly of mold, especially after taking a shower. Looking around made us question whether it was properly cleaned between guests. Even the hand soap had clearly been diluted with water, which perfectly reflected the overall lack of care and attention throughout the property. Another unpleasant surprise was that we had to make our own beds after arrival and strip them again before leaving. While this may be common in some youth hostels, it should be communicated much more clearly before booking. Combined with the poor cleanliness, it only made the experience feel even worse. The room was also unbearably hot. There was no air conditioning, no fan, and almost no airflow. Sleeping was extremely uncomfortable, especially during the summer. It felt more like sleeping in an oven than in a guest room. The entire building felt neglected and in desperate need of renovation. Everywhere we looked there were signs of poor maintenance. The condition of the property was nowhere near what the online photos suggest. The biggest disappointment was how different the reality was from what was advertised online.

If guests are used to stay in the hostels, this is not review for them. However, we had a room as a hotel guests. In the time in which we were in Berchtesgaden, this was one of the suitable solution. As we consider the price for 4 persons per one night (in total costs) more that 300€, we expected better services (for example, beds made. When we arrived, the beds were not made and we had to take off the bed linen when we left. Personally, I don't mind, but for the price of €300 it is not appropriate. For example, the price includes a hostel membership - we respect it, but I know we won't use it - that's why I charge a higher final price for accommodation and the client should take that into account). On the positive side, breakfast is included in the price, but we expected a bit more choice (this seemed quite poor compared to other hotels at lower prices that we visited). The room was spacious and well equipped. But, for example, the small things like the very small shower and sink in the room next to the bed (not in the bathroom (shower) in a separate room) surprised us a bit and reduced the comfort. But I still say that I respect that the accommodation is a hostel type and that we were happy to have a separate room. If you are a client who expects hotel services worthy of the price, you should probably choose another accommodation. If you don't mind these things, then this accommodation is very good for you.

Clean and spacious. In the mountains too obviously so it has scenic surroundings. Our room had a nice balcony too.

Extra fees at the front desk and not walkable from the train station.

The place is very different from how it's described on Booking. There are additional fees charged at check-in, and the atmosphere feels more like a children's camp. It was noisy throughout the night due to large school groups, and the property is in poor condition. The photos on Booking are either very outdated or from a different place. If you plan to travel by public transport, be prepared for a long uphill walk, as there is no bus service directly to the property.

Sehr freundliches Personal, schöne, etwas abseits gelegene JuHe. Das Essen war sehr gut und man hatte eine gute Auswahl.

Lovely, quiet location with great views. Clean and well managed. Free filtered still and fizzy water on tap.

Off the beaten track. Lots of noise from closing doors.

The location is stunning. Once we arrived, I was glad we weren't staying in Berchtesgaden town itself because the location is so beautiful. The room and facilities are the level you would expect for a hostel but everything was clean, well-organised and the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was ok. As expected, it is a German-style breakfast so lots of meat and cheese with some cereal options and yoghurt.

We were staying during very hot weather and it was oppressively hot in the room without fans or a/c. We were relying on public transport and realised the buses were very infrequent, even during high season. You can take the 839 or the 846 but there is at least an hour (sometimes two) between buses and the last one leaves the town at around 6pm so you have to plan carefully to be able to travel anywhere.
