Reviews and Ratings
The hotel is in a great spot, just a five-minute walk from the village center, making it really convenient. I found the rooms to be lovely and warm, although a bit small. The service was top-notch, and the dining experience was fantastic with a great variety of tasty options. However, I did notice that the men servers seemed to be in charge, but the female servers were actually much more competent. Overall, it was a solid stay with a few minor quirks.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel, with fantastic views from my room overlooking the Reiterkogelbahn. The service was generally good, and the location was perfect, just a short walk from the gondola. The dining experience was outstanding, especially the breakfast. However, the room lacked storage space for my ski gear, which was a bit of an annoyance. Overall, it was a great value for money.

I had a decent stay at the hotel, primarily due to its great location in the heart of the town, making it easy to access nearby ski lifts and activities.
