Hotel Garni Birkenhof

Small breakfast buffet with variety of bread, cheeses, cold cuts. Jam, cereal, juices were also provided. Large seating area in the dining area. Property is remote and peaceful. Staff is minimal but friendly and accommodating.

Our host was fabulous. She helped us find trails and checked the weather on the mountaintops to see which hike would be the best for each day. She also helped us find regular bikes to rent easily at the HBF for a half day bike ride along the river. The location was perfect- easy to catch the buses and train!

Great hosts, good location, bus stop to get to the ski lift is in front of the house, clean. Would definitely recommend!

The rooms are spacious, lots of light, beds were comfy, shower was good, and the views from the room were amazing! I loved the sauna, and the dry room for my ski gear was perfect. Katharine/Marcus communicated very well and made me feel very welcome. Overall, it was a great stay and I would visit again!

For me, the breakfast could've been improved. I don't eat meat, and when I came down for breakfast, the bacon was mixed in with the scrambled eggs, so I couldn't eat the eggs and had to stick to yoghurt/cereal/boiled eggs. Katharina explained that they are cooked separately, but the guests mix them. This is not acceptable and they should be kept separate for guests who don't eat meat/like meat. There could also be more hot food choices, like tomatoes, beans, potatoes ect.

Breakfast Excellent, Staff extremely friendly and helpful. Fantastic Location. Clean Room, Wifi good as needed for English programs.

Only Sky News in English. That says it all. 15 mins a day.

Very nice and cozy place. Personnel were super friendly and kind! And there was no issue even we had very late arriving to hotel.Sauna was super! It's not self-evident that you get good sauna experience outside Finland.Location was nice. Short distance to town center and easy go by car or bus to ski resorts.

Some small bar or vending machine would be nice in hotel.

Wonderful hosts - Katharina had great suggestions for walks. Nice, quiet location with just the roar of the river at night, yet very near the rail / bus station and restaurants. Spacious room, balcony to sit outside in the evening, and a good shower. Fantastic sauna and natural pool, which were a real highlight after a shorter walk one day. And great gluten- and lactose-free options at breakfast, thank you!

A kettle for making tea in the room would be lovely! (But we had brought our own mini-travel kettle)

The personal welcome we received from the host. The convenient location of the Zillertahlban station and the centre of Mayerhofen with the many high quality restaurants and cafes.

Super location near the centre. Electric vehicle charger at the property. Free parking. Easy access. Very nice owners/staff who give good advice as what to visit. Clean. Good breakfast. Nice playground for children.

For those who have trouble with stairs: there’s no lift.

Breakfast excellent, good location and really friendly family owners

The hotel was definitely great, and exceed our expectations. Super clean, great location, the host was incredible friendly and arrange everything that we could have a great experience in there. Would recommend t stay in there 10x if would be possible here :)

Everything was great, no negative comments

Outstanding location Close to the train station and therefore the local ski bus 15 minute walk from town Good sized room for 3 people. Clean and very tidy Breakfast was goodStaff were very helpful when we checked in

It is maybe on the more expensive side as it’s not in the centre of town. If you do not mind a walk into town for dinner, or to the train station for the ski bus it’s fine. If you have a family or struggle with walking, it could be an issue

Not quite early enough as the lifts open at 7.30am so if breakfast only starts at 7.30 you have to go without breakfast if you want an early run to miss the other skiers.

When I checked in, I should have paid my local tax fee as it was a real panic to pay it on the morning I left. It was early and no one was around to organise it.

Great family run property. The owner went out of her way to order me in food for a local restaurant and have it delivered when I couldn’t figure out how to arrange this. Excellent and friendly service all around. Highly recommend!!

Not a negative but it’s a little further out but this is more than reflected in the amazing price and great value for money.

The swimming pool and sauna was excellent. The rooms were very clean and comfortable with great views.

I'm not a fan of Austrian breakfasts in general; too much processed foods, tinned fruit, cereal, dry pastries, processed meats etcThere was a few fresh vegetables, cucumbers and tomatoes, but I'm a health freak and would have liked to have seen more fresh vegetables and fruit.

Great location, fantastic family run hotel.

Very cosy hotel with a homely vibe

Nt many eateries around

Staff was very friendly!
