Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers modern and clean rooms, with excellent bathroom facilities, but noise may be an issue in street-facing rooms. The location is fantastic, providing easy access to shops, restaurants, the lake, and transportation options. The dining experience is sufficient but unremarkable.
The hotel offers spacious rooms with an excellent bathroom featuring a large power shower, despite the average breakfast and so-so maintained rooms. The location is unbeatable in the town center, close to the ski slopes and various amenities. However, the service may create a hostile atmosphere at times, although the staff is welcoming and accommodating overall.
The hotel is centrally located, close to everything in Zell am See, making it convenient for exploring the town and accessing the City Express lift. The rooms, although a decent size, could be noisy if facing the street and lack air conditioning, which was a downside for us as we had a small double bed and a single bed. The hot power shower was a nice touch, though.
