Cons -

- Room I had was very dated and worn out. Breakfast was also subpar. Wish they had more options for the hot breakfast
- The rooms can be different by area or panorama. Some of them face to a waterfall which could be noisy.

Sauna, Yoga, breakfast, Location
Bathroom tiny and soaps harsh,No bathrobes in room, towels for sauna small.
Great location, good food, hip bar and foyer area.
Older rooms are cramped, little space for suitcases and poor ventilation. Bathrooms haven't been renovated for decades save for a coat of paint, sound proofing is terrible. We woke up each time someone came up to their room late and from 5:30 we heard everything going on outside the room. Bed was half comfortable - I ended up "sleeping" on the sofa.
The spa area and the restaurant was incredible and pleasant.
The harrasment from the German-speaking staff towards a young girl who was obviously a new member of the customer staff in the restaurant. You could see the bullying she was receiving from the colleague just because of the fact that she was not a native speaker.
Venue was perfect for our trip. Easy access from train station to the bus. Gorgeous town and friendly people. The breakfast was the best we experienced in our multiple stays over the last 10 days. Lots of choices and delicious food. Bar staff went beyond for our late stay.
Nothing!
We stayed with family for two nights. The location is perfect! The Ski bus stop is close to the hotel, and the parking area is around 200 meters away, but it's okay. The room is quiet and comfortable, and the mattresses are excellent! The view is fantastic! The restaurant is delicious, the staff is amiable, and there is nothing to complain about.
Unfortunately, the bathroom is so tiny. But still affordable. There's nothing to complain about.
Location, breakfast and food
Internet wifi simply does not work . It is too weak for the number for guests there areThe rooms are outdated
Good location, very good breakfast.
Small on suite, needs updating.
Good location and restaurant and bar.Food was good and Georgie excellent bar service.
Limited guest toiletries which is a problem if you are flying hand luggage only. No bottled water or tea/ coffee making facilities in the room. Bathroom lighting poor and no magnifying mirror for make up. No staff around for breakfast service as I wanted decaf coffee. I did find someone on day 2 and 3. my room in the front older part of the hotel looked dated and having stayed in a pension nearby for half the price previously I didn’t feel the stay was value for money.
Great location, beautiful design, tasty dinner and excellent breakfast. Friendly service and nice to meet the owner.
Just can’t get used to the austrian mixed sauna so skipped the beautiful hotel spa. Ventilation in the room wasn’t very good.
The location was fantastic and the staff was very friendly
We had two rooms. In one room, the shower had no hot water mid way during our stay and the other room the shower basin is quite blocked up..
The staff during our stay where extremely professional and polite. the hotel had a wonderful modern feel to walk around, mostly the restaurant, bar and the reading room.the spa and rooftop garden where fabulous and the ability to book a yoga course included within the stay was really enjoyable.
the internet wasn’t that fast.at breakfast you had to always wait quite a while to get coffee. potentially getting a 2nd coffee machine would help. although I noticed there was filter coffee left to the side to potentially help, this would need to be made much clearer with a sign.
The staff were super friendly and helpful. The hotel looked very modern and colorful and was located ideally at the center of town. And the breakfast buffet was simply amazing! We also enjoyed the sauna a lot, it was very clean and there were sufficient comfy beds to rest afterwards.
The only thing we were not really happy with, was our room. It was in the older part of the building and one could tell, that they tried to renovate it very quickly. Paint peeled off, or was not done well. And it smelled a bit damp and like old cigarette smoke :( If staying here, I would recommend asking for a room in the newer part.
Booked a newer bigger room, we were downsized with no money back.
Great location, very delicious food and relaxing atmosphere at the SPA.
great breakfast, great central location
stayed in one of the “old rooms”, so it was really tiny and unrenovated, but clean.
WONDERFUL Breakfast, incredible sauna, and great terrace!I believe this is the only bar open until midnight in town. They also offer yoga classes!
Breakfast was amazing and the location as well. However, room was very small.
The room size and not enough equipment such as iron, and so on.
