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.
