    Pros +

    • Staff and the room and spa pool
    • The room was very spacious and had a sitting area. The Alpine ambiance was wonderful and the hotel was definitely a 4* accommodation. The front desk staff were friendly and very helpful with local attractions. We had great lighting in our room, which gave it a warm and vibrant feeling They had life music the night we were there. Breakfast was good, except the eggs were a little runny, which I run into occasionally. It may be a traditional, cultural thing.
    • We stayed in the apartments, which are brand new and absolutely stunning, very comfortable with amazing views of the mountain.

    Cons -

    • It was perfect but for one incident with poor allergen management at dinner that was corrected when questioned.
    • NOTHING AT ALL. WE LIKED EVERYTHING AT THE FACILITY.
    • Mattress and pillows could have been better.

    Great hotel, breakfast and dinner where good. Adult only spa was amazing and highlight of stay, it felt so luxurious. (it is naked only in main one). There is a separate sauna beside pool if you wish to wear togs.

    It was perfect but for one incident with poor allergen management at dinner that was corrected when questioned.

    LARGE SPACIOUS ROOM, EXCELLENT DINNER AND BREAKFAST, EXTREMELY FRIENDLY STAFF, AND OWNER.

    NOTHING AT ALL. WE LIKED EVERYTHING AT THE FACILITY.

    9MalcolmPosted on: 12-30-2024

    The new Sauna Area is large and luxurious. Location is perfect to walk around even in the snow.

    Mattress and pillows could have been better.

    6EdnaPosted on: 10-6-2024

    Nice room. Food was good - impressed that the kitchen could turn out so many covers in a timely manner.

    Hotel was a bit tired. Felt more like a 3 star hotel.

    9LucyPosted on: 2-19-2024

    Always stay here to ski. Half board option is definitely worth it and the food is very good. Rooms are huge and bathrooms too. Always clean and tidy. Nice bar area for after dinner.

    7CuneytPosted on: 2-6-2024

    Breakfast and dinner were fantastic. The manager of hotel -Emily- was very friendly and willing to assist to the guests. The rooms are very large and comfortable

    Some part of hotel might need to be renovated.

    10AndrewPosted on: 1-22-2024

    The hospitality from the staff was exceptional, the best we have seen in a very long time. There were so many thoughtful touches from the housekeeping staff that made our stay that much more comfortable. We picked the dinner and breakfast package, which was spot on, and the restaurant had a very friendly atmosphere. We even made some new friends with those that we were sat next to.We would definitely stay here again without hesitation.

    lovely staff, family run hotel, and 7-8 min walk to slopes.good to have a washing machine - get tokens at reception.swimming pool great - although no clothes permitted in Sauna therefore we refrained from that!good selection of hot drinks at breakfast. great salad barchild friendlythere’s couple of shops in the village and couple of bars showing sporting events.

    very basic, dated accommodation - we were in the old section.dinner menu not great variety - was mainly pork - kids portions quite small eg 2 slices pizza .they didn’t have a room to accommodate family of 6 so we had to split up over two opposite rooms. (although this was fine, some families wouldn’t like this)Didn’t replenish the fresh fruit at breakfast - therefore need up early for healthy fruit.Wi-Fi wasn’t great.A hotel shuttle would be good option - plus it would be great if hotel offered transfers to airport.

    9MichaelPosted on: 3-12-2023

    The room was spotlessly clean on arrival and maintained as such by the cleaning staff throughout our stay. The beds in particular were always remade with a novel twist which was great, and reminded us of stays at Disney Florida. The food this year was particularly good and the evening meals more creative than perhaps in previous years, and the whole hotel is well maintained by the staff team.

    Having stayed here on many skiing holidays there is nothing I don't like

    9RebeccaPosted on: 3-4-2023

    great value for money, food was really good, main meal choice was always good and the main meal was really good quality. I would only suggest a little more choice for children however but we always managed.

    range of facilities is good. swimming, Sauna, fitness room.

    8CosminaPosted on: 2-26-2023

    big room, lots of storage room. good food

    mattresses and pillows were awful

    4SarahPosted on: 2-23-2023

    the large room

    the size, the swimming pool, the poor food, the staff

    6KrisztinaPosted on: 2-14-2023

    I liked the size of the room, the dinner was tasty, though small. It was good, that they had at least 1 vegetarian option and had plant based milk and could have freshly squeezed OJ (though very noisy) in the morning. Staff in the restaurant was professional, and speedy.

    The size of the sauna is rather concerning, even though there are two. Towels were not given or placed out there. We had to ask for a bath robe, and one of them was torn apart. There could have been banana and other fruits for the breakfast. The coffee should be improved! If you want to ski in the large ski resort of Brixen im Thal (Wilden Kaiser Skiwelt), than this town is not the right one. There is a small ski area near by, but you will not get any nearer to those 270 km slops, that Wilden Kaiser Skiwelt has to offer.

    9HeidriPosted on: 2-3-2023

    Great facilities. Excellent food. Friendly staff. Walking distance to bus stop and ski lift.

    To many kids in adults only area and in adults only pool. Not pleasant. There are a pool for the kids.

    Lovely clean spacious room, comfortable bed and good shower.

    8ValentinPosted on: 1-28-2023

    We liked the location of the hotel and the sauna.

    They did not inform us that we need to pay for the spa towels and robes. We were asked to pay for these at the check out.
