Coffee machine would be nice to have in the room as well as shampoo, not just body wash

You have to ask for a fridge and kettle. We booked a lake view room guided by the photos of a spacious double aspect room with seating and large balcony on Booking.com. Beware, these are only available in the Guest House and the balcony lake view room we were given in the hotel was narrow and disappointing, despite costing 300+ euros a night. Luckily we were able to upgrade to a suite (but at our own expense) which was lovely. Otherwise our holiday would have been ruined. Overall, the hotel is expensive to stay in but the food is good value.

The hotel stands alone in a beautiful natural spot, with an easy 5 min ferry ride to St Gilgen. There are lots of hiking and swimming spots. The boat provides easy access to St Wolfgang and Strobl. The restaurant is relaxed but excellent quality and very popular with locals. Booking is recommended. Every night we were delighted to eat the delicious specials. Breakfast was simply amazing, the chefs are superb! The staff were hard working and incredibly friendly.

The grounds of this property are so well kept. It is just gorgeous here. Breakfast was delicious, as was supper. We borrowed the bikes and visited a few towns via the bike path. The hiking was great right from the property. We were so happy we had the whole weekend here!

Bear in mind that because this hotel is situated in the midst of rugged natural beauty, accessibility can be an issue. I would recommend having a car. There is paid parking at the hotel. Note that the driving to and at the hotel requires a moderately skilled driver, as there are cramped quarters for turning on-site, and steep hills with narrow roads and quickly changing speed limits to/from town. Access by public transit is doable, but complicated for foreigners. The ferry is convenient and stops right at the hotel, however, using it for transit as opposed for recreation will involve careful planning. Note that the ferry is operated by Wolfgangsee Schifffahrt (yes, three "f") and is not year-round. Consult them for timetables and fares (not cheap). You can do just fine eating at the hotel restaurant for every meal, but if you want to get to St. Gilgen or other towns around the lake, a car is essential. Also, for nightlife, the ferry is not an option. Depending what room you purchase, there may not be a refrigerator, but reception will bring one if you ask. In this case, it is a quite small portable refrigerator with less than 1 cubic foot of space in my estimation. Note also that the room key is an actual metal key on a heavy fob, which is quaint, but not so great for pocket-carry.

This hotel is quaint and magical, with splendid views of the Wolfgangsee and surrounding mountains along the lakeside path, which you can walk almost the entire distance to St. Gilgen if you like. If you prefer, the ferry stops right next to the hotel. Staff was exceptional and offered ferry tickets at reception. I won't ruin the surprise, but check-out was a nice experience as well. I did not engage in much hiking, but guests receive literature at check-in about the myriad trails of different lengths and levels of challenge, accessible from right at the hotel. I have not been to Hallstatt, but the Wolfgangsee area seems like an excellent alternative without quite as many tourists (but still a lot). Don't forget to take the sielbahn to the Zwölferhorn for stunning 360-degree views of the surrounding mountains, including Zugspitze. St. Gilgen in general is a nice, quaint town with upscale shopping as well as touristy kitch. This stay was well worth the price in my opinion, as it was an unforgettable experience filled with glorious natural beauty and wonderful, luxurious Austrian hospitality.

Simply gorgeous fantastic location, high quality facilities, comfortable beds. The lake is right there at arms length. Good hiking routes right outside your door. Amazing places to visit within one hour drive.

Amazing location, a dream. very nice and cosy room with a lake view. Boats and bicycles for the guests, excellent breakfast for Vegans: great selection of fresh fruits and vegetables, wonderful spreads and the most delicious vegan omelet we have ever tasted - we received a special and wonderful treatment. A very friendly, pleasant and helpful staff.

The building is old. But no problem

The place is very goog. It commands wonderful view. First, the staff are very kind and ready to help. Nothing to be desired.

Stayed in May 2022

There was limited staff while we were there so that there was only someone at reception for a few hours in the morning necessitating that we use a key to even enter the hotel.

The property is on an idyllic setting along the lake. Beautiful property with stunning views. The daily breakfast was fabulous.

Unfortuntely the personal of the restaurant was not so polite and they prefered evening restaurant gusets instead of accomodated guests. Asking for a small favor tovards guest - probably something they don’t know. I was insulted the first day by a old guy (probably owner) that my car is too expensive and probably not electirc so I should probably not even enter the parking lot. His most inportatnt concern was not to disturb restaurant guests at the garden. So that was a hezlich willkomen from a eco-troll from Austria tbe first day. Considering the location and overall beauty of the place this was my worst experience in Austria in my life. Btw no AC in the rooms.
