Hotel Tirolerhof

An excellent mountain hotel. Beautiful big rooms, comfortable beds and very well catered. Buffet dinner was really good and breakfast had lots of variety and selection. The only thing I could fault is that there were no irons in the hotel.

As you can see from the reviews, this is a rather special place. Classy but not snooty, luxurious but not ostentatious, friendly yet professional. All staff deserve much praise and the ship is efficiently run. Located within easy walking distance into town and to the lake, this is not quite as rural as I had imagined prior to the trip. But location is good for getting around on foot. Interestingly, the season quietens in early September. On a personal note, it is worth mentioning a couple of things. I did notice traffic noise initially from the main road not so far away however this became less of an issue with the window less open (windows are of the big type which open up quite a lot on the hinged side). The little balcony area with distant views was appreciated! Secondly, bedding is feathers by default, however synthetic is available for feather allergy - thank you, and the consistency seems similar to the feathers. The pillows, as has been mentioned are unusual for us UK folk as they disappear into nothing in the middle...so 2 definitely needed. Also, again as has been noted the beds are firm! In fact my bed had (curiously) a wooden board sitting between base and mattress. Not sure why. Also my mattress was a little uncomfortable at first with rather prominent "wires". I have learnt to check the underside (as elsewhere I was given a non-reversible mattress upside down!!) Indeed this was improved by reversing the mattress however there was an obvious area of staining - which is why, I assume, the mattress had been turned upside down. Getting back to the staff, as has been highlighted, the girls who float around the foyer/bar, in traditional dress, are super efficient and helpful. Staff behind the desk, and all the dining room staff are patient and fabulous. Medal of valour must go to Wolfgang who will take you on a special hike high in the mountains in lesser known areas - after working his nightshift! Make the most of the views whilst you are here...get up the mountain! The cable cars aren't cheap but you can get a return ticket for around 27 euros. The guest pass allows 10% off. This is different from the heftier benefits of the area "Summer card". When you get back be sure to use the pool or lovely sauna rooms (you must be naked in there!) before going in for dinner. Thank you all at Tirolerhof!
