Description: On the afternoon of the fifth day of our summer holiday in Upper Bavaria with two side trips to Austria, we reached Berchtesgaden, where we spend the night and wanted to see the Königssee. We spent the night in the Gregory.
The Pension Gregory is not a hotel, but as the name suggests, a pension, or a guest house. Thus, one can expect in the pension and no Star. That is, the rooms are basic and do not have a TV, even a mini bar or other hotel usual things. The guesthouse is family run and a complete Non smoking home. Wireless Internet access is available for free in the house. Parking is free at the accommodation.
From the outside, the Pension Gregory looks like a big house. Many inns in Bavaria look the same. A brightly-painted bigger house with several balconies planted pretty. Before the house two benches where you can sit protected in the rain from the roof. The house has a garden with a lawn and table tennis, which is certainly an advantage for longer stays. The guest house features total of 17 rooms spread over the ground floor, the first and second floors. On the ground floor there are only one or two rooms, because this is taken mainly from the living room. Here are a television and a stereo system, there is a bookcase and table games. That room must stay guests, he also serves as a breakfast room. Opposite the living room is a fridge where you can provide them with drinks that you write naturally and paid before departure. Furthermore, there is still a kitchen and an office on the ground floor. The reception is a counter which is located in the corridor of the ground floor. This of course does not sit all day someone, but the family lives in the same house next door, so you always reach someone. The first impression was the same comfortable and just as you would expect from a pension. The decor in the living room and in the hallways is rustic.
The room is provided with 15 square meters, so it should be as big as our room in Munich and Salzburg. At first glance it looks but much bigger and I suspect that it is also greater. On the other hand here saved a bath on, more on that later. Maybe you are mistaken then. The room is carpeted with a gray, which is not the newest, but also has no large, obvious stains. The walls are brightly painted and decorated with a few pictures of landscapes. Immediately we noticed how bright the room is still. Two windows face the main street, a French door leads to the outside side. The windows are decorated with curtains, for the night, there are curtains in old rose that darken the room adequately.
The room has a large double bed with two separate mattresses, I guess at least 1.80 meters width. The bed is like the other wooden furniture and looks a bit old-fashioned. The other furniture, a table with two chairs, a dresser, a spacious wardrobe, a luggage rack and the two bedside tables fit into the overall picture of a rather rustic room.
The room rate includes a buffet breakfast. This is served in the breakfast room, which is stocked beautiful morning. Since the Pension Gregory was fully booked, always two rooms were at a table. Using nametags place for everyone. We sat at the table, along with another young couple, but was already on the move when we arrived, so we had the table mostly to ourselves. Breakfast is served from 8 to 10 clock. Late risers so rather not come at their expense, but even so we had a lot on this day, which is not too bad. On the table was a basket of rolls, each guest gets two rolls, there are different varieties. Whether you can reorder rolls, I do not know because I am rich two buns from fully. Coffee or tea is brought to the table, the rest are brought out from the buffet. There are different types of sausage and cheese, jam, honey, juices, fresh fruit, yogurt and cereal. The selection was good and everything tasted. The breakfast was so really good.
The Pension Gregory is a typical family run guest house in a good location. It is fast in Koenigssee or in Berchtesgaden and the simple, if a little old-fashioned rooms have everything you need. That there is no TV in the room, not bother me personally, because on vacation I need not and besides it is a pension, not a hotel. It should therefore also not be there. our room was clean and spacious the space available, the bed was comfortable and the breakfast was good. More is needed now not really. Only gripe for me is the bathroom, or more so the wallpaper in the bathroom and the shower that could modernize times. But I prefer a total from a star and award four out of five stars and a recommendation.
