My wife and I had the privilege of spending the nights of Oct 3 and Oct 4, 2012 as guests at the Hotel Zum Turken. We felt fortunate to book the hotel on relatively short notice the week before. I worked with Frau Scharfenburg via email to agree to all arrangements in advance. I reserved the room with a credit... More

Spent 6 wonderful days at the Zum Turken hotel in the obersalzberg. best place to stay to see the area sites and they have there own entrnce to the Berghof tunnels! hotel is old school and owner - frau Scharfenberg is the best host.

We first heard about the hotel from Trip Advisor and after reading the reviews and doing some other research about it's WWII history, decided to stay there for two nights. After our first night, we asked to stay a third night. It was everything we expected and more. Although it is technically a hotel, Frau Scharfenberg runs it more like... More

I have read several not so good comments on this hotel in Tripadvisor. But you should not really consider it as a hotel: when you go to "Zum Türken", you do it for obvious historical reasons, like most of us do. Just look at the website of one of its favourite guests whose father discovered the place during the last... More

There is obviously much history here, but we simply cannot fathom anyone having the desire to stay in this place overnight. The building is completely isolated from town, the interior is stark, ancient and worn, and the atmosphere is eerily frightening. Hitler's era is frozen in time - and while that's fine for a day tour, you won't yearn to... More

We stayed here the first time in 1982 and several times since. The location is just incredible, views of the mountains, fresh mountain air and history all around. Frau Scharfenberg is a wonderful host, you feel like you are visiting a favorite aunt not an innkeeper. It is less than a full service inn than when she ran it with... More

I have stayed at the Tuerken over 20 times now ... multiple nights ... the Tuerken is, simply, my favorite hotel in all the world! Frau Scharfenberg's oustanding hospitality never wavers, and the hotel just gets better with age (yeah, it's old fashioned - I like it that way!). If you are a World War 2 history buff, or you...

The hotel was exactly what we expected from the information available. The surprise was we were the only people staying. The owner and her staff could not have been more welcoming and helpful for the 3 days we were there. Don't expect any 5 star treatment and you wan't be disappointed. The whole place is absolutely spotless, rooms, halls and... More

I've stayed here 3 times over the years, and no trip to the Obersalzberg would be complete without a few nights at the Türken. It really is like a trip back in history. The rooms are small and cozy, without the electronic clutter of TV's and such. Just an imaculate comfortable room where you can forget all the cares of... More
