Urige Bleibe in Hinterthal - mit Charme und kleinen Fehlern

9.0

Mit seiner ruhigen Lage, seinen gepflegten Zimmern, dem schönen Spa-Bereich und dem eigenen Restaurant ist der Wachtelhof ein besonderes Hotel für den Schiurlaub.

Das Personal ist sehr engagiert, aber knapp. Ein Shuttle zur Liftsation würde zum Anspuch des Hortels passen

Früher Spitzenklasse – heute ist der Lack ab

5.0

Die Küche ist weiterhin gut.

Seit unserem letzten Besuch im Jahr 2020 hat sich im Jagdhof Wachtelhof viel verändert – leider wenig zum Guten. Der „Lack ist ab“ und das Haus lebt heute eher vom Namen und der Erinnerung an bessere Zeiten. Wobei der Name selbst inzwischen schon fast an Verbrauchertäuschung grenzt: „House of Hütter“. Auf Nachfrage beim Personal erfuhren wir, dass das Hotel mittlerweile an einen Investor verpachtet oder verkauft wurde und operativ nicht mehr in Hütter-Hand sei. An wen genau, wusste das Personal selbst nicht. Im Impressum steht eine Firma namens „G&S Hotelbetriebs GmbH AT“ aus Wien. Vieles wirkt inzwischen abgewohnt und weit entfernt vom früheren Spitzenniveau: Plastikblumen, sich lösende Sockelleisten im Zimmer, abgewohnte Stoffe und beim Frühstück billigste Papierservietten mit Aufdruck – Dinge, die deutlich machen, dass das Besondere dieses Hauses, nämlich seine (Innen-)Architektur, von den aktuell Verantwortlichen offenbar nicht verstanden wird. Im Zimmer und Bad zeigt sich der gleiche Sparkurs: Bei einem Preis von über 400 € pro Nacht hängt in der großen Dusche ein Abzieher – vermutlich ein Wink mit dem Zaunpfahl an die Gäste, dass sie die Dusche doch am besten selbst reinigen sollen. Im Spa funktionierte einiges nicht: Das 65° Saunarium war gar nicht eingeschaltet, die Infrarotkabine ebenfalls nicht, und die als 95° deklarierte Hauptsauna erreichte nur etwa 65°. Es wird an allen Ecken gespart. Auch der Samowar war trotz guter Auslastung im Spa nicht in Betrieb. Auch organisatorisch fehlt es: Das Personal ist teilweise bemüht, hilft aber weder beim Gepäck, noch wird beim Frühstück zuverlässig aufgefüllt – Speisen waren oft leer und erst auf Nachfrage wieder verfügbar. Für unseren Hund wurden stolze 35 € pro Nacht berechnet, ohne jegliche Gegenleistung, wie Napf, Körbchen oder eine Aufmerksamkeit. Sicherheitsmängel bestehen ebenfalls: Die Aussentreppe zum Skiraum ist gefährlich, lose Natursteinplatten stellen ein echtes Stolperrisiko dar.

Great location, helpful staff and beautiful property

Location was amazing. Very close to ski school and lift to ski area. Staff was quite helpful. The guy handling the hotel in the evening and night was very accommodating. He helped with all of our requests. The property is very pretty with lot of old time artefacts.
