Pension Hannes

Great hospitality and food The family go out of there way to ensure you have a memorable stay . The scenery is of course breathtaking we met some great people and had lots of laughs we will be back 👍🏻

Have recently returned from our second stay at the Hannes. As always we were warmly looked after be Reggie and Hannes. The Hannes has a homely feel, 3 floors (lift available if required), rooms have balconies and overlook the lovely village of Niderau. Prior to arrival I had made a room request which was honoured and stress free. Reggie was great to have a bit of banter with and clearly has a great sense of humor. Hannes equally helpful and accommodating. They got the lap top out so we could watch our paragliding clips (Niederau is the perfect place to have a go at paragliding and highly recommend). Having visited various regions of Austria, Niderau is one of my favourites and with the bonus of the free summer card is good value. The walking opportunities are endless, people friendly and all you could want in a holiday. Looking forward to returning in the future.

The Hotel Hannes is a family run hotel and we were made welcome from the moment we arrived. Our room was comfortable, quite spacious and warm, it had a balcony with table and two chairs, and enough storage space, also TV and a safe. The en-suite bathroom had a shower but I believe some rooms have a bath. Room and bathroom were clean and serviced daily except Sunday. We found on a couple of occasions it took a while for hot water to come through, but it was ok most of the time. As Hannes explained, the water has a long way to come from the boiler, so let it run and it does get there! Guests are allocated their places in the very pleasant restaurant for the week. There was plenty of choice at breakfast, which I think would satisfy most people. For dinner, main courses are chosen daily at breakfast, and service commences at 6.30pm. This is a fixed time (apart from your arrival day, when dinner is served when you get there if later in the evening ) but means everyone is there together and this created a nice atmosphere. Food was simple but good and service was excellent. The hotel also has a bar and a small lounge which we enjoyed. Bar prices were very reasonable. Other facilities are a lift, boot and ski rooms in the basement (ski room accessed from outside), also a sauna though we didn’t use that so can’t comment on it. Hannes and his mother Regina are the front of house team and are excellent hosts, both speak English and they create a friendly ambience which we really appreciated. The location is good, just across the road from the Ungnaden drag lift, from the top of which you can ski to the main lifts. It’s also well placed for the ski bus to Oberau and Auffach, and only a few minutes walk to the village centre. Overall a very enjoyable stay and very good value for money too.
