BERG & BERG HOTEL Kerns - Self-Check-in

8/10 Good
"It was such a beautiful room and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, so much so that we will definitely come back and stay a little longer. Everything was super clean. Amenities were well thought out, modern and techie which I loved. I sadly dropped the review from 5 stars (which it really deserves), down to 4 due to a couple of tiny issues. We couldn’t get the flame / lighting feature to work in the main bedroom. In the room, the box of free arcade tokens was completely empty. We didn’t have any local currency (coin only) so we couldn’t use it at all. The kitchen area would benefit from a wine bottle opener. Otherwise everything else was faultless."
