Berger's Sporthotel

We really enjoyed our two week stay at this quirky hotel which is in a great location.. Being the oldest in Saalbach it had a lovely character and no corporate features. We felt very much "at home" as the owners and staff were genuinely very keen that our stay was as good as possible. I requested a bath mat, as I am a bit accident prone in holiday bathrooms, and I think that someone actually went out to purchase one. The food was good with a choice from the mains to be made the previous evening. Desserts were a bit disappointing. Occasionally there was a big party of guests in the rear dining room and this resulted in a long queue for the salad/starter/soup element of the meal. We just came down later for our meal. Breakfast included cooked sausage/bacon and scrambled eggs. It is true that the rooms could probably benefit from a little TLC but that did not spoil our stay at all. Our room was a good size. The only downside was the fact that the balcony has no partitions all around the rooms on our level and ANY guest could get onto this balcony from a door off the stairs. We had issues with people sitting on our chairs/ smoking/large groups of guests. We had paid extra for the balcony and they obviously hadn't. At the very least a partition needs to be constructed to segregate a small section by the stairs. The owners were responsive to our concerns and did supply a no smoking sign which did help. Lovely staff and a great holiday.

Had an amazing stay here. I made a last minute reservation on the phone at 1 am and was welcomed by the family and the reception staff there. Everyone from the family down to the reception staff, waiters, housekeeping was extremely hospitable and made sure everything from breakfast to the room service was perfect!
