What guests report

View

Mountain and valley views exceptional from most rooms; avoid street-facing rooms (construction during 2024, road traffic audible); highest-rated are suite categories with private balcony saunas

Bed & mattress

Universally praised as very comfortable and high-quality; one guest noted sofa bed was too narrow; mattresses consistently excellent

Bathroom & water

Modern, spacious with excellent water pressure and hot water; many feature open-plan designs that can complicate climate control; heated towel racks standard

Wi-Fi

One guest noted weak/slow internet in rooms; most reviews do not mention connectivity

Breakfast

Extensive daily buffet with fresh-squeezed juices, made-to-order omelets (Eierkarte), regional cheeses, breads, and pastries; universally praised as outstanding; worth the cost

AC / heating

Inconsistent performance; summer guests reported rooms too hot even at 17°C; heating systems unreliable in some older rooms; no alternative cooling (fans, window screens) available

Elevator

Available

Local knowledge

Book rooms away from the street/construction site facing Großarl for quieter sleep; ask about orientation at booking.

Reserve spa treatments (massages, facials) in advance; they fill up quickly despite the large spa area.

The sauna aufgüsse (infusions) with Ignaz and Leo are exceptional—check the daily schedule and don't miss them.
