    Great location & friendly staff!!! When the day trippers are gone, I went to the nearby viewpoints. The next day, I went to 5 fingers to see the sunrise. Breathtaking! I had the place to myself! In here, mother nature is defo mothering! Make sure to check cable car timings when staying here 😉

    hectic checkin as ppl where busy in restaurant, thats ok, challenging for customer as well since basic info was missed - a small one pager on the room can solve this. one person a bit to grumpy, kind of refuse to try speak english (is this a thing in Austria?!) - i get that its end of season but i pay €400 for one night and expect not to get this. i didn’t get the feeling they care for guests coming back - and they might not need to due to location but word travels…

    amazing view from the room. young waiters super friendly and welcoming, people serving food and taking away also know hospitality.

    The views are stunning. After the crowds leave for the day, it is very cozy up on top of the mountain. The staff was very helpful. Make sure you bring everything you need up the mountain with you. You have to pay each time you use the two gondolas up the mountain.

    Walking to 5 fingers 😅, and menu bit too simple. Probably understandable too.

    Everything was amazing, view, people and the room. For sure would recommend to stay and book room with the view. Especially thanks to the people working there. They made our stay even more special and comfortable.

    The accommodation is pricey - but considering the breathtaking, out-of-this-world location it is worthwhile!

    The location is absolutely amazing! On the top of the mountain, just beside the cable car. The view from the rooms, the restaurant and the sun terrace is wonderful. A few minutes’ walk away there is the perfect spot to marvel at the sunset and sunrise. Great starting point for hiking routes and via ferratas. The food is very good by all standards - even the choice for breakfast is good - there are fresh fruit and veggies. The staff is super friendly.

    Could do with a little bottled drinks fridge in reception to take out with you for the day. Would be good for when walking around as there are no other shops or facilities up there. Restaurant menu a bit limited but tasty food.

    Amazing room, friendly and helpful staff.

    The limited hours of the cable car and the guest's need to pay for it should be included in the fees.

    Location, staff, food, and the view. The hotel is excellent, and all the staff was terrific.

    We weren’t aware of the cable car schedule in advance of our stay which would have been helpful for planning our trip from the US to Krippenstein. Luckily we made the last cable car by 10 mins, but had we not made it, we would have been out of luck. Also, the beds were somewhat uncomfortable for us but that’s a personal preference and is subjective.

    The location is just absolutely insane and the staff is extremely helpful.

    No concerns at all with the property. Our only issue was that it was a bit challenging getting to the cable car - we walked quite a ways and had trouble getting a taxi, but it was a holiday. We also did not realize that there was a bus to get there from Obertraun. We also booked our return train too early as we did not realize when the cable car started in the morning, how long it would take to get down and then the additional walk/taxi/bus to the train station - bad planning on our part.

    The location was amazing with the most incredible views of Hallstatt, the Alps and the glacier. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, providing ice packs for our daughter who hurt her foot earlier in our trip. Breakfast was very good. Meeting the friendly roaming sheep was a bonus. The cable car ride up was also beautiful. It can get a bit crowded during busy times, but on the way down the next morning, we almost had the whole car to ourselves.
