As a WWII buff, I had become well aware of the history of the Turken & it's association/proximity to many historical footstepping opportunities . Frau Scharfenberg is an unbelievable dynamo and is also very sweet. My room had a balcony facing over the valley and overlooking the site of Hitlers famed Berghof where he spent significant time. When I went... more

We stayed one night in this historical hotel. This is a lovely property and I am sure was at one time a fabulous resort. The room that we had was reasonable size with a lovely balcony. the "bathroom" was interesting, a very small shower and a toilet behind a curtain. However, the Frau that runs the hotel is the granddaughter... more

The history alone would make a stay in this hotel worthwhile. But the architecture and beauty of the building was just an added bonus. I'm a bit of a WW2 buff, so it was eerie to stand on my balcony and look at Hitler's driveway and see the same breathtaking views that I've seen in so many historical photos. The... more

It was ment to be, to stay at this hotel, we had been driving all day and needed a place to stay, we found some hotel phone numer and called it, and the nicest voice answerd the phone, so full of happyness, it was frau Scharfenberg, so we had a place to stay, and when we found the hotel, we... more

Just come back from a two night stay at the hotel. My partner and I have an interest in World War 2 history and felt this would be an ideal place to stay in Bavaria. As has been previously stated in other reviews the zum Turken has an atmosphere all its own - be it your own imagination taking over... more

My mother and I stayed here for two nights. I booked it on the recommendations of other reviews that I read and it did live up to my expectation. I am no history buff but I could be soaked up in the atomshpere of the place. The Lady who owns it is lovely. We had a room with a balcony... more

Stayed in Hotel Zum Turken in May after a couple of nights in Salzburg. We thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and agree it is a 'must see' for anyone interested in World War II History. Stayed in Room 5, a first floor corner room with balcony, overlooking the site of 'The Berghof ' and of course the most beautiful views... more

I visited the Obersalzberg with my family this past August, and we stayed at the Hotel Turken. I arranged this on purpose because I am a student of WWII history, and this holtel was once the headquarters for some of the SS guards whose job it was to protect Hitler when he was at his retreat, the Berghof. This Berghof--which... more

Stayed here for 2 nights in August 2006. Hotel itself is very dated, but that is its charm. Worth the extra for a room with shower etc. Very good value. Spotlessly clean and beds comfortable. A must for those with an interest in WWII. The bunker system under the hotel is fascinating and much more extensive than anticipated. Frau Scharfenberg... more
