09/11/2025: The hotel is somewhat secluded, in a quiet area, about 2.5 km from Kaltern.
The rustically furnished rooms are very nice. We had a room on the second floor with a view of the vineyards and Lake Kaltern. The terrace offers a lovely view of the vineyards below.
We had half-board. The breakfast buffet was very good with plenty of choice.
Dinner was a fixed three-course menu. On the first evening, when a large tour group was also present, the food was not satisfactory for us. The pasta as a starter was overcooked, while the ossobuco was undercooked. The other two dinners were of acceptable quality, but there is definitely room for improvement in terms of taste!
Service was very good in all areas.
Despite all the positive impressions we gained during our three-day stay, I cannot recommend the hotel. We were unpleasantly surprised when we paid the bill.
It wasn't really a proper bill, just a receipt. Instead of the usual description of the items consumed, it simply stated "various" and the corresponding price.
The drinks menu we were given listed tap water at €1.10, but we were charged €2.50 for three bottles. The half-liter of house wine on tap was listed at €8.10, but we were charged €9.00 for two bottles. Only the bottled wine was charged at the price listed on the menu. Because the receipt only showed the amounts, I didn't notice this until later.
It's not about the few euros; it's about the fact that I felt cheated!
Therefore, I cannot recommend this hotel.
26/10/2025: We're not usually complicated and can easily accommodate even simpler accommodations if little things aren't perfect. This time, however, we were a bit disappointed with the value for money. The mattresses were extremely hard and very uncomfortable – sleeping for long was almost impossible, as we had to constantly turn over to avoid back pain.
The breakfast also didn't impress us: It was poorly presented, the selection was rather limited, and the quality of the food we tried was unfortunately not tasty. Furthermore, we can't understand why cheddar, of all things, is offered in such large quantities. The hot chocolate was undrinkable, the bread was mediocre, and the ham and cheese weren't fresh. So on the second day, we decided to stop at a bakery instead.
We were surprised that the alcohol wasn't served with a measuring cup. We almost got three Baileys for the price of one. 😅 Unfortunately, the red wine was kept cold…
The rooms themselves are fine. Unfortunately, the toilet seat was broken, and there was some mold in the corner of the wall. It's very noisy, especially in the evenings. However, the view is fantastic, and the location overall is okay. Nevertheless, we wouldn't come back.
