Very Good

Received upgrade. Room with balcony. Easy free parking. Since we were the only ones having breakfast the staff prepared a platter with cheese, cold cuts, fruits , vegetables, hard boiled eggs and basket of various breads. Coffee, juices, cereals available as well. Walking distance to the lake and town.
We highly recommend this hotel!
From check-in to check-out, all the staff were friendly and helpful. We’d like to especially thank Ms.Sherbet and Ms. Debora for their exceptional service. Of course, the male staff member was also very kind, though unfortunately we didn’t get his name.
During our stay, the weather was quite hot and the room temperature rose a bit, but we requested a large fan and it was promptly provided.
Thank you again for making our stay comfortable and pleasant!
It was in a great location with a short walk to their lake front swimming area. It would have been helpful to have a ceiling fan in the room with the heatwave since there was no AC. They provided 1 fan, but since we had a triple that left our child without a fan. The restaurant was excellent for dinner and the included breakfast was great!
Beautiful hotel with great views from the balconies. The breakfast was delicious and had lots of variety including coffee, capacino espresso. Parking was included right in front of the hotel. The private beach is only a short walk from the hotel it had loungers and umbrellas, i would recommend swimming shoes as the water has lots of small stones. The SchafbergBahn train station is only about 5mim walk from the hotel as is the ferry to St Gilgen, definitely worth the trip up the mountain. Overall great hotel to stay at.

Hotel is close to the center and the Mountain Train, breakfast ok, Room Standard ok but already a little bit old fashion, price level ok, personell is good in supporting wishes
Sehr freundliches Personal. Zimmer prima. Parken kostenfrei am Haus. Strand am See mit Liegen, Sonnenschirm und einem Handtuch.
Frühstücksangebot war leider etwas unter dem österreichisch-gewohnten, wie frische Spiegeleier, Schinken und Müsli.

Trevligt och bra hotell för vistelse i Salzkammergut. Parkering precis utanför, men dåligt nätverk på hotellet. Eftersom också 4g fungerar mindre bra svårt när man behöver internet för streaming.
Vi visste dette var et eldre hotell, men som hadde den sjarmen som et hotell i alpene skal ha. Rommet var ok, sengen var god og renholderne på dette hotellet gjorde en fantastisk jobb. Så over til det som gjør dette til en mindre hyggelig opplevelse: Vi gjorde vår booking over hotels.com, og fikk bekreftelse via email. Da vi skulle sjekke inn og jeg gav mitt navn, klarte ikke resepsjonisten å finne bookingen. Han var utrolig hyggelig og imøtekommende, men da hans sjef kom inn i resepsjonen ble stemningen en helt annen. Hans sjef ville vite hvordan vi hadde gjort bookingen og vi sa hotels.com. Han begynner å hisse seg opp og sier veldig bestemt at de samarbeider ikke med hotels.com! Hvorpå vi viser vår email bekreftelse, hvor han hisser seg opp enda mer og hever stemmen sin mens han sier at de ikke samarbeider med hotels.com! Mens vi diskuterer med dette mennesket klarer resepsjonisten å finne bookingen vår, og viser papiret til sin sjef. Det som skjer så gjør meg så perpleks, jeg har aldri opplevd lignende: sjefen river papiret ut av hendene hans og skriker at han skal holde munn. Han begynner å beskylde oss for å angripe han, hvor jeg ikke klarer å holde meg rolig lenger men forteller han at dette er helt uakseptabelt. Jeg har aldri opplevd lignende oppførsel og hadde vi ikke forhåndsbetalt hadde vi dratt på flekken. Det var ikke-eksisterende internett, kun forhåndsbestilt restaurant og heller ingen AC.Dette er IKKE et 4-stjerners hotell, med en eier som ikke kan god service
Zimmer klein und altmodisch.
Aus den Wasserleitungen lief es in den ersten Sekunden braun raus.
Junge Mitarbeiter sehr freundlich und bemüht.
Älterer Mitarbeiter unsympathisch
Professionell nettes Personal. Essen an sich gut. Aber es ist für mir zu teuer. Die Zimmer sind teils veraltet und wenig liebevoll. Es gibt kein Wellnessangebot. Mir waren die Portionen zu klein. Vegetarisch ist im Vergleich zum Fleisch echt überteuert. Schlimmstes Manko. Man hört oft einen ratternden Ventilator (Lüfter der Küche?) im Zimmer. Stundenlang wie ein Motorrad. Auch die Toilettenspülung rinnt und die Tür zum Bad ist mit Mühe aufzumachen. Einfach nicht gut genug modernisiert. Wirkt teils eher wie ein Arbeiterwohnheim. Und dafür ist es eben zu teuer mit über 200 € pro Nacht fürs DZ. Sowas akzeptiert man eher, wenn es dann eben auch sehr günstig geht. Strandzugang haben wir selbst nach viel Suchen nicht gefunden und ist offenbar weit. Das sind unsere Erfahrungen und Meinungen.
Hat alles wunderbar gepasst, schönes Zimmer, super Frühstück,

Very good location nearby the lake front and having a private beach. The staff is nice and welcoming.
Big room even if it is a little bit old fashioned, it is a come back in the 80’s ;)
Very nice city and very pleasant for a summer Break
크거나 세련되지는 않은 호텔이고 약간은 시골적인 호텔이었습니다. 나름대로의 감각을 가진 객실 분위기였습니다. 방은 크지 않았고 휴양 지인것을 감안하면 가격은 납득할만한 정도 였습니다. 이상고온으로 날이 더운날에 갔었는데 아침부터 에어컨이 없어 힘들었습니다. 햇볕이 창가로부터 객실까지 내리쬐는 바람에 방안은 찜통이었습니다. 아침 식사이후로는 객실에 있기가 힘들어 할수 없이 외출을 해야했습니다. 대신 밤에는 선선하였구요. 아침 조식은 괜찮은 편이었습니다.
