An accommodation that has been tried and tested for decades, the “Hotel Bavaria” in the center of Berchtesgaden not far from the train station, has closed its doors. The tenant family gave up the aging house. There will no longer be overnight accommodation there.
Berchtesgaden – The Berchtesgaden Mountain Adventure Association also confirms that hotel operations have been discontinued. According to this, the hotel is already there closed since the end of November last year been. The company’s website has been deactivated for a few days. The house can still be found on many hotel booking portals. “Rooms free” is emblazoned in large lettering on the facade of the house at the Bavaria crossing of the same name.
„We very much regret the closure of the hotel“, says Christina Stanislaus, spokeswoman for the Berchtesgaden Mountain Adventure Association. “Due to its location close to the train station and the city centre, the hotel was always well booked for events.” Individual guests also checked in there frequently because of the proximity to the city centre. “Each omission of a hotel operation automatically leads to fewer overnight stays in the region,” says Stanislaus. the Loss of operations is “dramatic”. According to information from the special purpose association, the hotel had 49 beds. A look at the rating portals reveals: The Rooms are repeatedly described as “worn”., but the opinions of guests on their stay are largely positive. Compared to other offers, the Hotel Bavaria was considered a cheap alternative to overnight accommodation.
The number of beds in the region has been falling for years.
It is unlikely that the Hotel Bavaria will come back as an accommodation facility for holiday guests. The hotel had been sold to a local entrepreneur three years ago. It is now in private ownership, as stated on request. In order to be able to continue the house as a hotel, an investment of millions would be necessary.
