My wife and I stayed at the Hotel Zum Türken during May of 2007, and would reccomend it to anyone looking for a relaxing retreat into the Bavarian Alps. Frau Ingrid Scharfenberg has the most wonderful personality, and is an absolute joy to speak with. The hotel has been in her family for three generations, and it shows through in... more

Had the great pleasure of staying at the zum Turken over the May Day holiday. Frau Scharfenberg, the owner of the Hotel (it's been in her family for over 100 years!) is a treasure, she speaks english, she is very helful and friendly and she is a great cook! The rooms are very clean and offer great panoramic views of... more

My wife and I spent 2 days here. We weren't really expecting a lot so we weren't surprised or disappointed. The history of the hotel and the area is worth the price of admission., which was $140 euros per night. If you go online and read about the hotel and see the pictures you will have a good idea what... more

I really wanted to like this place, but i was pretty disapointed. My girlfriend and I stayed here recently and we had high hopes for the place. We are in our early 30's and on a budget so we booked a room in the attic for 70 euros. with a bath on the second floor (bath very clean, however a... more

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

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
