Bergland HotelEditor's Pick

EuroCheapo Review email this page print this page

We love the bright, whimsical and mildly wacky Hotel Bergland, a family-owned three-star hotel in residential Schallmoos.

The Bergland has 18 clean, individually decorated rooms that delightfully reinterpret classic Austrian style. They have well-coordinated color schemes and promote a sort of postmodern, "decorations-for-decorations'-sake" aesthetic. (The stranger rooms could keep a small child transfixed for hours.) Wall adornments such as a row of wide-brim hats, a creepy old clock and an empty picture frame are among the standouts.

Some rooms feature English-garden wicker chairs and traditional hand-painted wooden furniture. All have huge windows (some floor-to-ceiling!) and giant bathrooms (some with tubs). There's also a tiny solarium on the second floor.

The atmospheric lobby is outfitted in rich dark woods, bookshelves stuffed with books, giant plants and a bar. Free parking and breakfast—as well as a bizarre backyard "garden" full of pebbles—just make things better. If you're looking for kookiness that titillates but doesn't overwhelm, the Bergland has it it!
