Pros +
- Breakfast was good
- I really enjoyed the atmosphere, decoration and how helpful the staff was! I felt like was in a movie while staying, truly magical!
- Excellent location. Great value. Great restaurant.
Cons -
- Ni wifiOnly time we saw anyone in hotel as at breakfast
- This is more a critique for booking rather the property: The way booking shows your reservation is misleading on what room you are actually going to stay in, since the room we stayed didn’t matched the photos booking showed! We wanted a room with bathtub (which was included following the pictures and info of our reservation) and the one given to us initially didn’t had it. However the staff quickly changed our room after we spoke with them! So if I was visiting again and wanted a specific room I would call Villa Solitude to request it!
- The hotel room and particularly the bathroom could use some attention. Bathroom curtains were torn etc

Excellent location. Great value. Great restaurant.

The location was good, the staff were friendly and room was comfortable and clean
I expected more from the breakfasts considering what I paid.
This hotel is beautiful ! Nicely maintained. The room I had was large, clean, very nice bed, sitting area, and the decorating… gorgeous! I had many big windows to open for fresh mountain air and also window boxes with flowers. The bathroom was perfect.. nice tub/ shower with great water pressure. It was 7 minute walk to bus stop, and very close to train station too. The waterfall is basically right below the hotel. They have a beautiful restaurant with an outside deck/patio with scenic views and you can listen to the waterfall. There is a sitting/reading room in the hotel that is large and beautiful. Staff was very kind.
The only issue I had was the electrical outlets. There were many of them but all didnt seem to work well. I thought it was my chords, but it was the outlets. It worked just fine in the bathroom. This does not change my review of the hotel though.
Stunning classic beautifully kept
Because of its classic construction Internet is somewhat unavailable Not a big deal ,but a deal.
A lovely old villa, but it was very cold and at times seemed a bit deserted. Overall a good stay
lovely hotel with so many original features. Clean and tidy and really friendly staff
no tea facilities in the room.
The villa is nestled in the heart of Bad Gastein, with incredible views of the valley and mountains. The restaurant served great dinners (particularly the New Year's Eve dinner), whilst the breakfast was good. The room was decorated with beautiful wooden panels and the decor was of a classical style. The room felt well looked after, even with scratches in the wooden panels. The staff were always pleasant and incredibly helpful - even when we encountered language barriers! The room had its own lounge area, that was also comfortable.
The bed by far was the biggest let down of the accommodation. The room was advertised as having a "large double bed", but instead if was two single beds pushed together. The mattresses themselves were thin, spring mattresses on top of a simple wooden frame that creaked every time you moved. Several times we woke up with sore backs.
Prime location and view, style, ease of access, free parking, leisure room with piano and tee for free use of guests
First / second floor room with no elevator (with small kids a little difficult), no wifi on second floor
Very nice and cosy place. Quiet and saw now other guests other than the cars parked outside. Very large room(s), like a smaller apartment. Great view and the owner(?) welcomed us when we arrived. She also gave us good advices of what to do and where to go in the area.
The restaurant was closed, so there were no breakfast. Since we had breakfast included they had arraged so that we could eat at a café down the block. We got told that it should be like that only the first night (of two), but it was closed again the second day. So back to the café.The room was a bit cold at night/morning.
The location was great, the rooms decent - we had "junior" suite with an extra bed for our daughter. Our other daughter had a room on the 2nd floor that almost seemed larger but didn't have the extra bed. We walked to a local bakery for breakfast as we didn't book breakfast there. It looked like a great restaurant though. We were between "seasons" so not everything was open - a lot of local restaurants nearby were closed. (May 26th-28th). The sound of the waterfall thru town is loud and is like a sound machine if you like that kind of noise while sleeping (we did!)
We were on the 3rd floor and the stairs are winding and steep. Luckily had our daughters with us to carry our luggage up. The WiFi didn't work on the 3rd floor which now in the review it says paid WiFi which not sure I knew that and it definitely wasn't told/offered to us. We didn't know anything about that and not having WiFi for my daughter was problematic. She had to go down to the common room to use it and even then it wasn't great.
A stunning Villa well located in Bad Gastein! The rooms felt like stepping into another century although it was equipped with all of the necessary modern comforts. The waterfall can be heard from the rooms which I found very relaxing. I was happy to be able to stay during the spring off-season in the valley after passing by it many times during ski season!
Breakfast and dinner were very delicious, a lot to put away, though. We loved our Empress Sisi-apartment decorated in fin de siècle style, full of atmosphere, with a splendid bathroom, and we enjoyed the stunning views from our room.
Absolutely beautiful and charming hotel located in the middle of the town (only 10 mins walk to the ski lifts). The decor is stunning: wonderful original wood panelling and antique furniture throughout the hotel, which was warm and comfortable in the winter. The views from the rooms are also fantastic. The staff are friendly and helpful, and the breakfast was outstanding.
We didn't have breakfast at the hotel. The location was perfect and the views from the hotel and our room were amazing.
NO breakfast was offered.
This was an amazing hotel. The views were stunning, the beds comfortable, and the town amazing.
Everything was amazing!
Karen was amazing.
Breakfast at Villa Solitude cost more than the actual accommodation stay !! It was a complete rip-off the prices they were charging.
It was all good
