Top Gosau Hotel Reviews
Grand Elisabeth
"Awesome staff. Breakfast was incredible"
MONDI Appartements am Grundlsee
"Staffs are friendly and beautiful view from the hotel"
Hotel Sommerhof
"One of the most amazing aspects of our stay was meeting Erni, who greeted us when we walked into the reception area. Her face lit up smiling and she knew our names, not sure how so I’m guessing she looked us up in advance on the internet or something. Anyway, it was a nice surprise. When we told her that the next day we will miss being able to get breakfast because we have to leave at 7:30am for a reserved outdoor activity, she offered to prepare a special private breakfast for us at 7:00am. There were five of us (my husband, two adult daughters, son in-law and myself), and she said no problem. The next morning when we arrived in the dining room, she had prepared a feast on a table nicely decorated and set. We couldn’t believe the variety and portions that she prepared. There was a large platter full of sliced meats & cheeses, separate fruit bowls of freshly cut pineapple, grapes, plums, a basket full of different breads, buns, croissants filled with chocolate-mmm to die for, carafes of juices, a pitcher of coffee, and lastly freshly cooked scrambled eggs, sausages and bacon in a large cast iron pan that would be enough to feed 10 people. We were all in awe with the delicious breakfast, and we felt that we were treated like royalty. Erni was very friendly, and went over the top accommodating our schedule. We booked 2 rooms and it was very nice being right next to each other. We loved the extra private room in the back where one of my daughters stayed. It was perfect."
Scalaria Sunset Wing
"Nice resort, but I can’t give 5 stars because the room was lacking privacy. We booked the lake view balcony room, but the balcony was shared with the adjacent room and only separated with a glass partition. The neighbors could see into our room which was unacceptable."
Hotel Goldenes Schiff
"We had a very pleasant stay. The hotel was clean and comfortable, the room was well maintained, and the staff were friendly and helpful. The location was also very convenient. Breakfast was good with a nice selection. Overall, we were very satisfied with our stay and would happily stay here again."
Hallstatt Hideaway - Adults only
"Great place and service, but no AC"
Arabella Jagdhof Resort am Fuschlsee, a Tribute Portfolio Hotel
"This was a very nice and upscale hotel. With easy access to beautiful sites. Nice and enjoyable time. Was only there for 1 night. Would stay again."
Ferienalm Panorama Hotel & Apartments
"Great for solo travelers. They have several rooms at reasonable rates for folks like me who travel alone. Plus, they held my bags while I went overnight hiking in the Alps, which was super wonderful!"
Boutiquehotel Hubertushof
"Great place, very cosy. The food is excellent, both breakfast and dinner. Well located. Spacious room (but not air-conditioned)"
