Hotel Arlberg

We booked the hotel through Inghams on a half board basis. We were four adults and a baby. The hotel was absolutely perfect for us. Great location, Three gondolas all walking distance. One very near, the other two in the town, 15 minute walk. Our children came to ski and we , the grandparents to babysit. The skiing was great , they thoroughly enjoyed themselves and we used the jacuzzi and the indoor pool. It was wonderful to use the facilities when everybody else was skiing. Everything was spotlessly clean. The food and service were sensational. We had the same table every night and the team that looked after us , were superb. The help we got with the baby was so amazing, kind and patient, they brought us food quickly, anything we needed was there and advised the drinkers with excellent wine. Special thanks to Karol, Peter and team. The buffet night on Thursday was exceptional. Spoilt for choice. Serious diet needed now, .as the children said , nil by mouth. The room was very comfortable. Clean bathroom with dressing gowns and toiletries . Hairdryer. Safe. Tap water is very good ,so no need to buy bottled water. Bring a travel kettle if you like hot drinks in the room. . The rooms facing the car park are very quiet. The rooms facing the mountain are noisier due to the people that have drunk one too many, so take that into consideration if you are a light sleeper. The reception is very friendly and helpful as they assisted us with a slight problem with our horse tour. In fact it took a bit of time to clear the confusion. The horse tour is amazing, but make sure they tell you exactly were you meet, time , etc prior to arriving. There are many restaurants and bars for drinks as the atmosphere apres skiing is electric. Even grandparents get into dancing mood. There is a heated ski room for all your equipment with back entrance. Train and bus station within walking distance. Hotel organises taxis if required. All very polite and helpful. We all had a fantastic time, St. . Anton is so beautiful ,just a dream of a place. We look forward to coming back next year.

Fantastic hotel ....location perfect, 3 minutes walk from the Nasserein gondola, and 5 minutes walk into the lively town centre. Shuttle bus stop to both lifts and other ski areas from front door although we didn’t use it. Hotel food was excellent. Good variety and super quality. Rooms were what I would expect from a typically Austrian style hotel, spacious, warm, clean and comfortable with balcony and mountain views. Good WiFi as well. Ski boot room was secure, clean and warm and had own exit to the street. Lovely indoor heated pool and spa area. The staff were excellent without exception. So helpful, friendly and welcoming. They organised a surprise birthday cake for my husband, and without being asked specially decorated our dinner table on his birthday which was a lovely gesture. New Year’s Eve was excellent, with a gala dinner and then tables in the lounge reserved on request for each family / group of guests, with champagne and snacks, and live music. Definitely great for families of all ages. We were with a ski package and would definitely choose this hotel again . Thanks for a fantastic holiday .

The hotel is on the main Street so easy access for the free resort bus which stops just outside the front door(for the lifts to the east of the town). The nearest lift (to the west) has an access path opposite the door (walkable up a short incline and then skiable to the lift - c.350meters in total). We often walked from the main section of the town after coming off the slopes. It's c.850 meters which can be a bit of trek in ski boots/carrying skis. The hotel is a little out of the main centre but that means it was quieter, which I prefer. That said, if you sleep with the window open then you will still be woken at 12:00-03:00 by loud drunks returning from the centre. Sleeping with the window open may seem a little odd when you are in a ski resort in December, but the rooms are very warm even with the main radiator turned off. If you have any issues sleeping then I suggest you ask for a room that is at the rear. Note that the double-glazed windows do a great job at cutting out any noise when closed. Beds were comfortable and capable of being split apart which, in my experience, is not the norm in Austria, hence the need for a superior room with a sofabed (two male adults on a ski holiday). If we had known that the beds could be split, I would have perhaps opted for a cheaper standard room. Reception were very friendly and helpful. Room (superior) was a good size but no balcony. There are rooms with balconies but on previous trips we never use our balcony other than to leave drinks outside to chill. And there was no need for this as there was a decent sized fridge in the room. The rooms were very well appointed and decorated with nothing tired or worn out. The rooms were also very clean / cleaned each day with fresh towels, soaps etc.. Great view our the room up the mountain. Two huge wardrobes with lots of hangers. Nicely sized and appointed bathroom. A number of channels on the TV, a couple in English. TV didn’t have Bluetooth mirroring (to watch Netflix from your phone/tablet) which wasn’t a surprise - I have only found it in one London hotel so far. Free WiFi. Decent coverage and throughout. Breakfast was buffet and a decent selection of hot and cold (starts at 7:30am). Dinner 5/6 courses (starts at 7pm), and decent in quality and taste. You get to choose your main course (from three) at breakfast. Wednesday is different, offering a comprehensive buffet (I would have been happy with this each night…😊). My only question would be, ‘what is available for younger children who may not enjoy the more sophisticated meal approach?’. Something to check if you have a young family who would prefer some simpler food choices. Bar area was large and comfortable with the prices similar as the bars in the town (they seemed to be very similar…. made me wonder if there was a set tariff or price fixing… 😊). With respect to pricing, large beer was 5.60Euro. A decent lunch & drink on the slopes was around 15Euro per person. Boot room was a decent size with heated boot racks. The door outside leads you to the rear of the hotel which means a tiny bit of a walk to the road. The room is accessible from outside with your room key. On my first day I discovered that the door opened with a half-hearted push. I reported this to the reception and by the evening it was fixed, well done to the hotel for being so quick to respond! There was CCTV in the boot room, (with warning signs), which was unusual but welcome. Definitely a hotel I would recommend. I would have rated the hotel five stars if I could have controlled the temperature better or selected a quieter room (from the outside - I never heard a peep from anybody inside the hotel. :-)).
