We liked this hotel so much, the food was various and tasty, especially the fuits. Spa and wellness was excellent, clean, big, almost no one there it was like a private spa. Nice view from the room, perfect skishoes room, beautifuly traditionally decorated interior. We had a bag for spa with hotel shoes, bathrobes, towels, etc. We also obtained a gift in the end of our stay. Very friendly hotel.

The staff was very friendly and always with a good attitude. They helped us to check in and settle quite fast and provided all information and support. They were very attentive to our needs. The view is another best thing there: both from the rooms and from the dinning area. SPA area is made in the way that there would be enough privacy for all the guests.

We are from Colorado so it was similar to Breckenridge or other small mountain towns. There are plenty of hills in town so it was a great "walking exercise experience." There are plenty of grocery stores and cheaper than the US. The situation of the town is beautiful!

Great location for those who want to travel in the province of Salzburg. We went for a walk on Ghost Mountain (the cable car a few hundred meters from the hotel). We took a trip to the Lichtenstein Gorge - this place is a MUST! Its five-minute drive - during busy times in the summer, it's convenient because you can start the day there when it's not too busy and hot yet. The trip to other attractions and sites is also short and the hotel itself is very close to the highway for those who want to reach sites such as the salt mines in Hallein, Hohenwerfen Castle, Salzburg and more. The town of St. Johann im Pongau has many shops and the area has some good restaurants with local food.

The city has all what a tourist needs.
The city has all what a tourist needs. One may say typical Apline city, but has it's nice unique spots - for me: the old bridge neighbourhood (I'd say the old town). As it is located on a slope for me it's more pictureous than others located just in a valley.

Sank Johann was a very pretty town with a good range of shops, restaurants and cafes. We were there for the Skiing so did not spend a lot of time in the town, or at some of the attractions. However I have been coming to Sank Johann in the winter since 2009 and have never been disappointed.
I have never visited in the summer but I can only assume that it will be also be an excellent base from which to explore the area.
Bus service is excellent and Salzburg is only 1hr 15 away. €11 by train and does not require you to change trains.

The mountains around St Johann im Pongau are wonderful, the town its self has changed a lot. It used to be the main place to stay for winter sports in the area, but this has slowly been superseded by Alpendorf where there are a number of modern hotels and apartments (often moderately expensive).
This has caused a lot of the change which includes many of the great bars and restaurants closing and being replaced by some modern residential buildings (most recently the Silbergasse which we all loved).
Of course, if you stay on the edge of town, or a little up the hill (as we did this time), then there are beautiful places to stay. The remaining Hotels like Alpenland, The Brückenwirt and the Lerch and others can also be highly reccomended. Recently, the local Hahnbaum chair lift (where we started skiing in the early 80s) was removed and not replaced. That used to be a great place to ski with the locals on a Sunday after a later night out at ski lovers bar (also long gone). A beginner's area with a T-Lift and Banana lift still exist on the Hahnbaum, but in general you will ski out of Alpendorf (5 minutes drive up the hill), or you just have a short drive to many of the other "Salzburger Skiwelt" areas such as Großarl and Hoch König to mention just 2 out of many.
The town has expanded somewhat over the years, on the plus side this gives plenty of scope for food shopping if you are staying in an apartment. It is a town that many (like us) still love as we have been visiting for so many years, and it is always great to see familiar faces when on a winter holiday. The local people have always been extremely welcoming and very friendly.
Some prefer Wagrain, which has retained its quaint mountain village / town atmosphere and not as crowded as Flachau. Close by is Kleinarl which is a perfect Family resort.
For us, St Johann was and still is the center of the Salzburger Ski Welt, and we will hopefully be regulars for many years to come.

We had large apartment with 2 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms and 2 balconies. The apartment has an amazing view of the valley and the area. The apartment is very well equipped and the kitchen is equipped with everything you need - just like at home. The location of the hotel is great - the cable car to the Ghost Mountain (Geisterberg Alpendorf) is a few hundred meters from the place and the Lichtenstein Gorge is a 5-minute drive away. Great location for those who want to travel in the area, as most attractions are within an hour's drive.
The hotel offers an unbeatably beautiful view from both the terrace and the balcony. It has been such enjoyment to sit on the terrace while eating breakfast/dinner. Dinner was homemade authentic Austrian food, very tasty, and at a reasonable price. The lady who received us was super friendly and helpful. Due to my health conditions, I cannot eat many things so they always tried their best to attend to my need, which was highly appreciated. The room was spacious, with a fully renovated bathroom.
Karin's house is a perfect place to stay in Alpendorf, enjoy the mountains and, of course, visit Liechtensteinsklamm (which is only 30 mins away) :) The location couldn't be better: lovely view from the balcony, the cable car and a large playground for kids only in a couple of minutes. The house owner is super friendly and always ready to help.
Thank you so much, Karin! ❤️
It's been an amazing short-term vacation. We'll definitely come back to visit this wonderful place 🙂
Great location - only a few min walk to the ski bus station (bus to Alpendorf), and 10 min walk to the Bahnhof.
Great breakfast! Other than the usual (cold cuts, cheese, bread, condiments, hard boiled eggs, coffee and tea), they also had pate and a veggie dip platter.
The host was absolutely lovely - warm, enthusiastic, helpful, and made the house a generally welcoming place.
Spacious room - even had an electronic hob available in the cupboards, a pleasant surprise!
Breakfast is extra - we had breakfast on the first day - good choice of continental breakfast, cereals, fruit etc. Apartment was clean and comfortable and just right for our short stay. Better to have a car, as the apartment is a 20 minute uphill walk to Alpendorf, but the ski bus stop is 100m away. Just a bit tricky for going out for dinner, as the ski buses stop early, and there are limited options in Alpendorf (most eating options are in quite upmarket hotels)
The hotel is near the train station, which was convenient as we arrived late. The room was clean and modern with a very nice bathroom, the breakfast was good as well, cold cuts, tea, coffee, juices, bread and buns, cereals, eggs made to order. We did not have time to enjoy the wellness area but bathrobes were provided in the room. A cute dog welcomed us at the reception, a nice bonus to our stay!
The hotel was clean and offered a lot of activities . The breakfasts were amazing and the dinners were generally good with lots of choice. An excellent salad bar. Sadly the waterfall pool was not working but the spa, the roof top and indoor pool were excellent. The location was superb and we were given lockers in the ski shop next to the gondola and were able to ski off directly.
Very nice and peaceful place on a slope of a mountain - 250 m above the town of St. Johann im Pongau and a bit further away from a busier Alpendorf. The apartament looks very fresh and modern with all the facilities for a comfy stay. There is a nice terace and inner yard with a nice view of a town down the slope.
The breakfast was very varied, the spa facilities/pool are top notch and the ski bus stop is located right in front of the hotel. The fact that the ski passes could be purchased/printed at the hotel and that the ski/snowboard rentals could be made directly from the hotel as well are also big pluses.
The hotel wonderful
The location , rooms , staff they were smiling and helpful
My room was superb they kindly changed my room with same price
The breakfast was wonderful alote of options
If i visit St johann i differently will stay in this hotel
The apartment it’s not only bigger than most of the places we’ve stayed during ski holidays but also very modern and comfortable. Host it’s super helpful and friendly. If we have the chance to go back for sure we will stay in the same place.
The food was fantastic and all the personal very attentive. Even if the hotel is situated near a road the windows, when closed, do a good job and therefore you do not have to worry of the noise.
The room was just spectacular,
Great location, friendly and serviceminded staff - from the front desk to the restaurant! We had dinner and breakfast booked (x2) - both excellent. Clean rooms. Hotel also offers charging possibilities for electric vehicles.
the owners really take care of the property. it’s clean and nice. we liked especially the room where you can put your luggage and change after skiing. (even though we didn’t needed after all) also the playroom is really fun
Staff were very nice.
Room was great.
Hotel itself had nice meals, spa, pool sauna etc which were amazing. There was even a live music performance by the hotel bar one night.
Highly recommend.
