That was the only con of this place. Once you reach there the mountain air overwhelms you with fresh air and beauty. This is a family haus where the owners take personal care to make your stay every bit of useful. We were a family with two small children and booked the largest room on the second floor. It had a large balcony on two sides and oh boy,,,a panorama to die for.
The Waltzmann was as if just a sniffinf distance away and shone in full splendour in the spring afternoon viewed right from the bed you are sleeping. The other balcony had a view towards Obersalzburg with Eagles Nest visible at a distance.
Room amenties were sufficient and the decor was classic Bavarian. The breakfast menu was decent and quite sufficient and standard.
There were nice eateries down below the slope and we really had a fantastic dinner in the open with the night falling on the peaks. Mesmerising experience.
Just to come back to the inconvinience of the height, we did find out a shortcut on our way down which made it a direct decent to the Berchtesgaden Hbf. So if you are without small kids and too much luggage it might make a good hiking.
Overall enjoyable stay.
Mr. and Mrs Sandler were lovely, even though mrs. Sandlers english could be better, and Mr. Sandler does not speak english at all, but he does just all the menwork in the house, so it doesn't really matter, but he smiles always when we saw him. But their helpers were better at speaking english and now they are educating their own daughter so that she can take the business one day. But if you do not know german at all, you can manage, we did, and with out much of a strugle.
Our room was nice, but if we ever come again, we will want to make sure we get one of those room with a balcony. Those were really nice. We did have a very little extra room, in our rooms, It was between the bathroom, and the bedroom. It was a little room, with a tiny table, sofa and a quite big wardrobe. And there was another wardrobe in the bedroom too, so I could take over the hole little tiny room, just for my own clothes and other girly things (like make up, and accessories).
There is a fireless internet, and if you want to use it ask for the key.
The breakfast is nice, and they serve cake every sunday.
Many have complained how hard it is to climp up from the bus/trainstation. Not really. Yes, it is a hill, but it is managetable. We didn't even use any taxi or car to get our luggage from the trainstation to the house. And that wasn't even a totally big task if you have wheels on your suitcases (which nearly every model nowdays has). There is a good and easy roate from the station to the house. There is a bridge over the traintracks (to get there you have to climb stairs, but they are the only ones in this route, these staris starts at the left side of the station building (when you watching it from the busstops and the traffic cirle)) and after that you go by little house with funny statues, and by a little pub, and then you are on the main road, which you follow up (by the movenbick icecream restaurant) and the you turn right to the Am Brandholz street and to the end of it, where the Pension Haus am Berg is.
Luckily, Brigitte Sattler was able to pick us up from the train station when we arrived, and her husband Albert was able to drive us back down on the day of our departure. Taxis are also available.
We arranged everything by email (in German, though I assume Frau Sattler can handle correspondence in English as well; her responses were always prompt, clear, and friendly) a few weeks ahead of time, which was probably necessary, as the guesthouse seemed to be full during our stay. It’s not hard to see why—its location above town makes for better views and quieter nights than you might find elsewhere, the entire place is impeccably clean and well-maintained, and the prices are reasonable for the area.
The architecture and décor are über-Bavarian. Room 4 was plenty large for two guests, and both the bathroom (two sinks) and the balcony were huge. Small amenities like a drying rack on the balcony and lots of hooks in the bathroom made the stay even more pleasant, as did the computer, refrigerator (both for guests’ use and for the reasonably-priced honors-system beverages), and umbrellas available for use. If you ask a day or two ahead of time, the Sattlers can get you two tickets to the Jennerbahn (the highest cable car in the area and well worth the cost) at a significant discount.
The pension offers only breakfast, so going into town is necessary for other meals. Most bus routes end in the early evening, so using public transportation to eat dinner outside of town would be tricky at best. Breakfast was typical German fare, plentiful and of a high standard, served with a smile by Frau Sattler at your table rather than buffet-style. All of the guests (primarily but not exclusively older Germans during our stay) seemed happy with the guesthouse. I would recommend it to anyone.
Danke, Frau Sattler, für eine angenehme Aufenthalt in Berchtesgaden. Michael und Gina aus New York wunschen Ihnen und Ihrem Mann einen schönen Sommer und ein erfolgreiches Jahr. Wir hoffen, eines Tages wieder mal Ihre Gäste zu sein.
Th Pension Haus is small and run very personally and efficiently by husband and wife team Brigitte and Albert. Bridgette wears the traditional dirndle and plays happy polka and folk music over breakfast while she serves guests. Rooms are spotlessly clean and the atmosphere is enhanced by a bears tea party and nick-nacks strategically placed around the ‘haus’. Note there are 3 stories and no lift.
We walked into the pretty town most days where there are many restaurants and cafes and at least one supermarket. The walk back up hill, with the only alternative ,if you don’t have your own transport, being a taxi. The only food served is breakfast but some rooms have kitchen facilities.
Most guests during our stay tended to be older rather than younger. I’m not sure how younger children would fit in?
However, we thoroughly enjoyed our eight days in Pension Haus am Berg and only wished we could have stayed longer.
We received the warmest of welcomes from Brigitte, who was patient with our halting German, and the check in process was really easy - as was checking out at the end of our stay.
We had apartment 3, which has a fold down double bed in the living area and a bed-settee in the next room. We were a little bit worried about the sleeping arrangements but the bed was incredibly comfortable. With only two of us, we didn't fold the bed away every day and there was still plenty of room in the living area. We had a lovely big couch, coffee table and dining table, as well as plenty of storage and a TV cabinet. It was a really pleasant room to be in - we were there in a really snowy two weeks in early January and we really appreciated how cosy the place was.
The kitchenette is very well equipped, with everything we needed. It is perhaps a little lacking in counter space but this is not really a problem in a studio apartment. The kitchen was immaculately clean, as was the rest of the apartment, including the bathroom. This was a good size, including a nice full size bath, and the shower was very decent. Toiletries were provided, as were coffee filter papers, sugar, salt, pepper etc. in the kitchen. You can order bread, which will be delivered to your door at about 7.30am.
Brigitte is a wonderful host and couldn't have been more helpful. It was incredibly kind of Albert to take us to the station on our last day too. We really felt welcome and at home whilst we were there. Homemade cake with the fresh bread delivery on a Sunday was a very very nice touch - and delicious!
The most outstanding feature of our apartment was the view. Stunning. Facing the Koenigssee valley, with an uninterrupted view over the town to the Jenner, Hohes Brett, Watzmann and Hochkalter mountains. On the clear days, the sun shining on the snowy mountains was like something I've only dreamed of. At night time, the lights of the town in the valley were really enchanting, surrounded by the darkness. Previously, we'd stayed in a hotel in town with a mountain view - which had been lovely - but Haus am Berg is just that bit higher up and it makes the view all the spectacular.
The location is great in other ways too. Yes, it's all uphill from town - especially if you're coming from the station - but we climbed it every day in snow and ice and it's really not that bad. In addition, the Vier Jahrezeiten bus stop is just at the bottom of the hill - and the 841 bus goes up and down to the station from there, so you don't need to climb the whole distance! It's really close to Haus der Berge, a great museum with a lovely cafe - you don't have to buy a ticket to use the cafe - and there's a hotel with bar and restaurant at the end of the road if you really don't fancy the hill. Being up out of town makes it really peaceful at night - it's at the end of a quiet residential street, with forest on the other side. It's also, really conveniently, at the start of the raised walkway part of the Soleleitungsweg footpath - which is a really lovely way to get into town, or to take a stroll to the Lockstein viewpoint, and beyond.
We truly loved this place - can't fault it at all. It wasn't just a place to stay, it felt like home for two weeks. We are regular visitors to Berchtesgaden and now can't imagine staying anywhere else. We will be back - and can't wait to see the view in summer sometime!
If you are not planning to use the kitchen, I would reccomend a double room over the apartment because they are located at the top of the house and have slightly better views (though the view from our terrace was still quite breathtaking).
Brigit, the owner, was very helpful and recommended a great restaurant to us. The wifi in the room didn't work, but there was a sitting area where we were able to use it with no problems.
All in all, we had a good experience at this hotel.
"Those with the balcony, towards the centre of the town, were very nice, so make sure you get one of those."Read full review
