The pictures in the website do not do this hotel justice. Such a lovely hotel. We stayed half board, some of the evening meals were hit and miss, but breakfast and some evening meals were lovely. Especially the swordfish. Beer is great taken in the lovely beer garden, with views over the mountains. Train and bus station across the road, with trips to most major attractions within 20 minutes of the hotel, they were quite regular and always punctual. You even get a free guest card which gives you free travel to most attractions some with discounted entry. Rooms were very spacious and comfortable, we opted for an upgrade to a balcony room, which gave great views of the mountains and the river below. All the staff gave great service, but especially Sam on reception who was amazingly helpful and always friendly - just sorry we ran out of money so I couldn’t leave him a tip, but we will definitely returning and will ensure I put something away - sorry Sam x
There is a shortcut from the train station to the hotel, but it requires walking up a flight of stairs and an uphill stone path, making it impossible to walk with suitcases. If you bring suitcases, it is recommended to take a taxi to the hotel. The hotel is very old and traditional. After taking one flight of stairs in the hotel, you can take the elevator to the higher floors. The house is very spacious and the lights are very dim. It feels very dim in the room at night. There is only one electric socket at the bedside, and there is no table for placing mobile phones next to the other electric sockets, which is a bit inconvenient. The toilet and hand-washing area are in different locations, so it is a bit inconvenient to wash hands after using the toilet. The check-in staff are a bit cool, but they will always greet you. The room is spacious, you can open two large suitcases without being stressed, it is clean and quiet, and there were two small spiders in the room during the 3 nights. There is no air conditioning. It is not hot in October, so it is enough. Bathing water pressure is adequate. There is hair dryer provided.
I really find it weird to be met by a receptionist with her breasts pushed up into my face. I know it’s a alpen Hotel and she was wearing a national costume, but … If you order room service you are charged 8€ in bring up fee. Compared to other hotels I have visited, the price is double and this hotel is a small hotel so the distance is short to the rooms. A 5 star hotel in Cyprus it is actually free of charge. The hotel is in general nice but old. It seems to be maintained, but anyway the shower head wasn’t descaled. The staff is nice, but nevertheless appear confused, probably because English is not native. Parking conditions are critical. It is almost impossible to get a space and if you do get one, your car is parked so close, so if you avoid bumps you are lucky.
Wir haben das Hotel als Zwischenübernacht auf dem Weg nach Wien genossen und sind rundum glücklich und zufrieden. Unser Zimmer mit Bergblick und Balkon ist ansprechend ausgestattet, sehr ruhig und sehr sauber. Jaaaa, das Ambiente ist ein bisschen in der Vergangenheit stecken geblieben, das macht es aber gerade sehr charmant. Das Frühstück und Abendessen war ausgezeichnet, frische Wurst und Käse, keine Aufbackbrötchen !! und der Blick vom Restaurant in die Berge ist fantastisch. Das Personal war sehr freundlich kompetent und hilfsbereit und immer zu einem Pläuschen bereit. Wie schon gesagt, perfekter geht es kaum, deswegen werden wir definitiv wieder kommen....dann selbst verständlich etwas länger.
