Outstanding Hotel. Peter Miller the owner and chef runs a wonderful Bavarian Hotel. The restaurant is a wonderful place to eat and reasonably prices. You will enjoy the hotel and the view. Hotel is in town but has good parking. Peter is a golfer so you can talk with him about golf at breakfast--which is excellent.

Stayed for 2 nights in one of their double rooms, southern aspect, with a balcony (No. 59). Very glad we paid the extra as the view of the Watzmann was amazing. We could also see Kehlsteinhaus (Eagles Nest) and even though we overlooked the railway station they were the quietest trains ever - could hardly hear them. It was also a pleasure to relax on the balcony in the sun. Room was very comfortable and clean and breakfasts were excellent. Waitress at breakfast couldn't have been more accommodating - just ask if you want anything else. We also dined in their Huberstuben Restaurant on our first night and had an excellent meal. My husband had the pike fresh from the Konigssee and I had the lamb - both wunderbar!

Yes, the communal rooms did look a little dated, but truely Bavarian which for us added to the charm of this lovely hotel. If you want modern and minimalistic then go and stay in the Intercontinental (5/10mins drive away from Berchtesgaden up on the Obersalzburg).

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Berchtesgaden is a beautiful little place with plenty to see in the area. We enjoyed our visits to Kehlsteinhaus, a boat trip on the Konigssee, the Documentation Centre and of course Salzburg. It was also a joy to see so many women wearing the traditional Bavarian dress.

Final tips - we also had good meals in Bier Adam and The Goldener (think it's called) 5 mins walk down the road. Also, I did swim in the pool twice (while hubbie had a siesta) - it is small, but very clean and I had it all to myself which was great. We would definitely stay here again. Go ahead, book and enjoy!

We very much enjoyed our stay at this hotel. It is typically German and very very Bavarian. Waitresses in national dress, lots of dark wood, antlers etc. Please eat at the hotel - on the basis of the reviews on this website we booked half board and were really glad that we did. The food was of a high standard, with lots of variation and generally came off the a la carte menu. Our room was spacious and comfortable. It was at the back of the hotel which unfortunately meant that we did not have a view but every morning at breakfast we could sit and look at the beautiful mountains and scenery. It really set you up for the day. The staff were very pleasant and helpful.

A few points for consideration. A lot of people would say that the hotel needed refurbishment. The communal rooms are 'tired' and perhaps a little musty but for us that just added to the charm. However, we found the pool quite uninviting. It is in the basement and has no windows/access to the outside. As a consequence we only used it once and that was a disappointment..

Stayed at the Vier Jahreszeiten for several days in mid-December 2006. It is a place with a lot of charm and great location. Good breakfast with helpful staff. Easy to see Konigsee and Salzburg from here. Rooms tidy and comfortable. Will stay there again.
