Contiki Haus Schöneck 3 stars

Hopfgarten im Brixental

In winter the accommodation is an ideal location for skiing, snowboarding & paragliding. The hostel offers a ski-pass sales point and free shuttles to and from the accommodation – perfect location for groups. Staff were honestly fantastic - they tried so so hard to accomodate the guests. There was an igloo party one night at the resort (nothing to do with the hostel) and the girl on reception arranged a coach off her own back so the guests could go (as it was hard to get home from) - genuinely fantastic effort. If the bar was just a little quiet the staff often went and had a beer with the guests etc so they felt accommodated. Breakfast was fantastic - really good buffet with hot and cold options - staff were attentive and kept it topped up, food was really well cooked. Location was pretty good - its around a 5 minute drive from the ski resort, and they put shuttles/coaches on morning and night. Bear in mind the prices you pay for accom right at the slopes I really cant complain at all its a great concept. The only thing I could mybe mention location wise is there's not much in the nearby (20 mins walk) town of Hopfgarten - places to eat, and apres ski bars in the town and coming off the slopes, but not really anywhere to drink after about 8pm, (except the hostel itself) unless you get a taxi to the next town Westendorf, which isn't walking distance and was around 30 EUR taxi. The whole place was absolutely spotless - the staff/managers certainly appeared to take a real pride in the place - and why not its lovely. Overall thanks very much guys, had a fantastic time, you were brilliant.

You have boxes for luggage that has lockers. You have curtains for privacy. The kitchen is big and there is a nice balcony with it. The staff was very kind, they helped me have a great time in the city. It's just at the city center. Definitely recommend.

Lech Hostel

Lech am Arlberg

Located in Lech am Arlberg, 20 km from Train Station Sankt Anton am Arlberg, Lech Hostel provides accommodation with free WiFi and free private parking. Guests can enjoy mountain views.

At the hostel, all rooms come with a wardrobe. At Lech Hostel every room comes with a shared bathroom and bed linen. Lovely stay at the hostel run by super nice hosts. Good value for money considering how expensive other accomodations in the town are as well as the fact that you have your own private room. I really like the location as well. There are hiking trails just behind the hostel, not to mention the landscape is simply gorgeous. Overall a wonderful hiking base and I can imagine staying there for two weeks without running out of hiking options. Lech is better known for being a ski resort but it is definitely my top hiking base in Austria as the hiking trails are in general not crowded and the sceneries are simply amazing. I'd love to come back during winter as well to see a totally different Lech. I like the shared kitchen. One small thing though. The dish washer is both a blessing and a curse, I would think, as some guests simply put everything inside the dish washer, including items very limited in numbers such as cutting boards, pots and pans, meaning I sometimes had to retrieve them from the dish washer, wash them myself before being able to cook. More efforts might be needed to educate the guests! Also markers to indicate date of departure and name of guests for fridge items would have been nice too. But just minor issues at an otherwise well-managed hostel. Keep up the good work!

I had a big room with toilet and shower, balcony, view to the mountain. I could borrow a bike for trips (even borrowed a daypack). And the owner and the staff was very kind. The place also has a kitchen you can borrow. A bar is connected to the hotel.
