10/10 Excellent
"We had a good welcoming upon arrival. We extended our stay of one more night and the lady at front desk was super helpful when we talk over the phone and she was the same person who welcomed us on check in day. The room was spacious (we had a one bedroom suite) and it was very comfortable. The breakfast was super helpful with a variety of choices. The hotel is well located with view over mountains, near many shoppes, restaurants and the lake."

Hotel Tirolerhof

8/10 Good
"The Tirolerhof has a beautiful exterior and a charming traditional Alpine style. Its location is convenient and very close to the lake. The service was excellent, and we enjoyed the breakfast. Our bedroom was a good size, although the bathroom felt a little small. The showerhead and water pressure were great. However, the towels and bed linens could be better, and the hotel would benefit from a few updated amenities. There was no air conditioning, the Wi-Fi was weak, and the television was not a smart TV. We also found Zell am See itself a little quiet for our taste. Overall, it was a pleasant stay with wonderful service, but a few improvements would make it more comfortable."
