Traumhafter Aufenthalt.

10.0

Das Personal , sowohl an der Rezeption, als auch die Kellner*innen beim Abendessen und beim Frühstück bis hin zu den Reinigungsdamen top freundlich und engagiert. Die jungen Damen im Dirndl - so herzig lieb ! Das Zimmer ein Traum, der Seezugang ein Traum, das angebotene Programm ein Traum. Auch die anderen Gäste waren alle sehr rücksichtsvoll untereinander. Ich habe wirklich hohe Ansprüche und finde absolut nichts, das ich hier zum Verbessern nennen könnte. Danke für die schöne Auszeit hier im St. Gilgen .

− Rundum wohl gefühlt . Danke für Alles .

Great hotel, but, a little way to go for the price point to make it excellent in my opinion.

The setting of the hotel is excellent, it also has a lakeside jetty to sunbathe and you can hire for free, paddle boards and small boats from the hotel. The boathouse, i think its called, has a shower and men and women's changing room. Garden well looked after. Restaurant setting is also excellent with views over the lake. Perfect in the evening. Breakfast was satisfactory, and the hotel provided a print out of things going on at the hotel and the daily weather forecast. Its a short walk (10 mins) from St Gilgen, beautiful little town, and a bus stop near the entrance is useful. Strandbad St. Gilgen was a great little place to go, lots of people having fun. A visit to the lakeside by Springbrunnen also recommended and also suggest Casa-Mediterranean restaurant for food, the service was actually better than the hotel in my experience, and much more relaxed atmosphere. The hotel is what I would call 'very Austrian', its not ultra modern or anything, just somewhat old fashioned, but for that you don't feel like you could be anywhere in the world, you know you are in Austria. This is a good thing but worth bearing in mind for some I would say. The room was very spacious, very clean and the bed comfy which was made daily. Bathroom was impeccably clean other than a very small amount of mould around the bath on the sealant. Some complimentary bath items were provided. The noise level was fine, which we were initially concerned being almost directly opposite the restaurant terrace on the first floor, but we didn't really hear anything at all, and heard more noise from the balcony chairs being moved above and beside us, not a huge problem for us though. Otherwise the hotel itself for the time we were there was very peaceful. I only recall one night being particularly hot, but we had the balcony doors shut, temperature was fine with it open in the night.

− The price. Unfortunately, I felt like I was paying for the view. The staff would say hello and helpful when asked, but didn't feel like any one was going the extra mile, and sensed an awkwardness which surprised me given the reviews. I just felt a bit underwhelmed once actually there. One lady at the reception when we checked in was really nice, showed us the way to our room and what I was expecting throughout my stay for service. At our evening meal, the waiter seemed frustrated when trying to pay by card and ended up agreeing adding the bill to the room. He took my card out before I could even read what was shown and muttered something about 'American banks'. The young waitresses were nice but didn't feel like they wanted to converse, just take my order and no interest in us as guests which is something I like when I go away. I think they may have been new. I also noted that when booking there was a 'special requests' section. As it was my wife' birthday (and the reason for our trip), I asked if a birthday message and cake could be left for our arrival (i would of course pay for this) they responded it wasn't something they could arrange, so unsure what special requests they can accommodate, again, not going the extra mile like I have experienced at cheaper hotels. At breakfast there was an older lady, always seemed to have a face like thunder, not once did I see her smile. On exit there was no thankyou for staying The room was good, but given the price point (£350/n for 3 nights) the only complimentary items where packet tea and coffee, no bottled water or soft drinks, there was a fridge but it was empty, not quite sure what it was for. I have stayed in London for a similar price and had access to whole lounges with free food and soft drinks. Some of the fine detail like the skirting boards not fitted to the wall properly, no suitcase stand (bed bugs anyone?

Läget är fantastiskt. Trädgården, bryggan och närheten till sjön. Fridfullt.

− Mycket hårda sängar.
