Best Hotels near Hallstatt Bahnhof, Obertraun

When I was considering to book a room in this hotel, I was in doubt about it because of some negative reviews that I read. Nevertheless, I decided to book even so, and my experience there was GREAT. I, respectfully, think that many negative comments here are unfair, as I’m going to explain while I give my perceptions about the hotel. Overview: Obertraun is a small city (approx. 800 people). The hotel is in front of the lake with a wonderful view. It provides a very helpful free bus pass to the region (Hallstatt etc). The owner is very helpful and kind. It’s a family business run with much care and respect for the guest. Check in: excellent. The time for check in is between 15:00-19:00. The management of the hotel emailed me telling me this and asking me to tell in advance if I would arrive after 19:00 because they would put the keys in a place where I could pick it. I arrived early, and I saw in the entrance of the hotel a key locker where the late guests can just put a code and pick the key. Moreover, when I booked the room in Expedia, there was also a warning about the time to check in. Therefore, it’s just a matter of the guest pay attention and contact in advance. Mr. Meinrad was very kind and attentive in the check in. Staff: I really don’t understand those who complained. The owner of the hotel is extremely kind and helpful. He was always very patient to help to advise the best places to go in the area. His wife was also very kind. It’s very clear how much they care for the hotel and do their best to receive well the guests. I think that guests also need to analyses themselves before complaining about small things and make a storm in a teacup. Location: the hotel is located in Obertraun which is a neighbor city of Hallstatt. It’s very easy to go to Hallstatt from there, and the hotel provides you free public transport in the region (bus). It is also located in front of the lake and the view is gorgeous! Bear in mind that Obertraun has approximately 800 inhabitants, so don’t go expecting to have a coffee in Starbucks etc. Even though, once again, Mr. Meinrad, very kindly, offered to prepare a coffee in the evening while he was there. There is a restaurant (I think the whole city only has two or three) near the hotel. Breakfast: with all do respect, I think some guests when travel become “breakfast Master chefs”. I always say, is the breakfast better or worst compared to the one that you have in your house? The breakfast was good! Juice, coffee, cappuccino, bread, cheese, ham, yogurt etc. If you want to have a five stars Michelin breakfast you need to be willing to pay for that. In this sense, I didn’t have any problem with the breakfast and the restaurant also has a great view of the lake and the mountains. Room: I stayed in a room with a view to the lake. I read that some other for single doesn’t have private bathroom, but it is told on the website. In my case, the room was cozy, and I liked the bed as well. The bathroom had everything ne

The hotel is located next to the Protestant church in Hallstatt, which can be regarded as the center of the town. The size of the room is good, the tiny balcony can only sit down, but not move the body (the space is too small). It is a surprise to have a bathtub, which is not common in European four-star hotels. The waiter at the front desk is very arrogant (arrogant), and obviously ignores the guests from ************** (this is the key point). It made me very upset, and my attitude towards her was also very bad, and I was very rude to her in English (her English is terrible). The hotel is not allowed to drive in. You have to park your car in any of the parking lots from P1 to P4 in the town, and then walk to the hotel, so you have to pack your luggage in advance. Early breakfast is the general European breakfast level. I believe that people who have been to Europe many times or have life experience will be familiar with it, and they will not have any expectations. This price is obviously overestimated, and the overall cost performance is very low. You can check in at 3 pm, and you have to check out at 11 am, don't ask why.

The hostess, Gabriele, is very responsive and helpful. She was kind enough to help me call a taxi (the taxi driver is also very kind and helpful) from the train station to the property. The check-in was easy and quick. Gabriele gave us very useful tips to explore Hallstatt, such as taking the small local boat. With the guest card there, we enjoyed a little discount for experiences like the salt mining one. The property was very clean, tidy and well furnished. The environment was cozy and quiet. My sister and I missed so much the big big stars we saw at the balcony there. My family had a wonderful stay there and we would like to thank Gabriele, and her beautiful daughter once again, for bringing us such a warm and homely stay plus a rarely found four-leaf clover. We wish we could stay longer. That’s a property you would not regret choosing!

We spent two days in an urgent Hideaway hotel in Hallstatt with a dream view to Hallstatter Lake. One of the most beautiful stays we ever had to spend in the mountains. A true place of desire. Already at the arrival we were overwhelmed by Hallstätt with its breathtaking environment. One time, the Hallstätter Lake, embedded between roughly forested mountains, in sad green. The accommodation, directly at the foot of the Salzberg, directly at the sea promenade, but above the tourist power, a perfect mix of rustic charm and lovely Austrian romance. Uncomplicated and urgently furnished, with traditional wooden furniture, clean and small balcony with view of the painting landscape. A place for well-being and enjoy the mountain world. Exciting was experienced in the salt mining. For those whose rail is too bizarre, a walking track leads up. Great mediation of the millennium salt culture in this place. A power station the Evangelical Church in the place. The restaurant in the host houses of Hallstatt was typical of Austria. We enjoyed the stay uncommonly and we were happy to come back.

An sich ein ganz schönes Hotel mit nettem Personal. An der Rezeptions dauert der Check-In usw. irgendwie ganz schön lange. Beim Skilift ist man schnell, nur einen Busstop weg. Leider doch eher Massenabfertigung beim Buffet. Abendessen war ”naja”. Suppe und Salat lecker, dei Hauptspeise eher Kantinenessen - das hat leider Buffet so an sich. Das Frühstück ist schön reichhaltig und abwechslungsreich. Für die Größe des Hotels ist der Wellnessbereich eher klein geraten. 2 Saunen, das ist ok, aber leider recht wenig Liegen und auch nicht abgetrennt von den Duschen. Also so richtig entspannen kann man eher auf dem Zimmer. Wir hatten nachts einen fehlerhaften Feueralarm und standen nacht um halb 2 im Schlafanzug bei frostigen Temperaturen draußen. Leider gab es auch auf Nachfrage kein Entgegenkommen des Hotels. Wenigstens die 20€ Getränke hätten sie uns kulanterweise erlassen können. Klar, wahrscheinlich kann das Hotel nichts dafür, aber wir auch nicht und das hat uns schon geärgert. Wir kommen nicht wieder. ------ In itself a nice, modern hotel with friendly staff. At the reception, the check-in etc. somehow takes quite a long time. Your fast at the ski lift, just a bus stop away. For the size of the hotel, the wellness area is on the small side. 2 saunas, that's ok, but unfortunately very few loungers and not separated from the showers. Unfortunately, it was more of a mass processing at the buffet. Dinner was ok. Soup and salad were delicious, the main course was more like canteen food - unfortunately that's what the buffet is all about. The breakfast is rich and varied. We had a faulty fire alarm at night and stood outside at half past one in our pyjamas in freezing temperatures. Unfortunately, there was no accommodation from the hotel when asked. At least they could have waived the €20 drinks as a gesture of goodwill. Sure, it's probably not the hotel's fault, but neither can we and that annoyed us. We won't be back.

Only ended up here by pure chance and at the last minute. But what a surprise! The location is spectacular, with a clear view of Lake Hallstatt from almost 1000m. Nature and peace all around. There is a house that has been freshly peeled off the shower, and as you approach it you almost start whispering. And inside? You think you've found yourself in a library. Cozy tables and seating areas invite you to linger, a fireplace definitely contributes to the great a**osphere in winter, on the wall and on the tables and actually everywhere in the hotel: books, books, books... Books that are waiting to be leafed through, discovered, read, read through and finished. The boss says there are 12 thousand at the moment and thanks to the cooperation with many publishers, the number is growing regularly. Shoes are taken off at the entrance, which turns the usual hotel experience on its head. This also means that you sneak pleasantly quietly through the extremely beautifully designed rooms. A cozy self-service bar with selected wines, local soft drinks and even French champagne leaves nothing to be desired. Plus the latest technology - an app opens the doors, the comfortable bed, and even reads to you if you want! Breakfast is available all day (!) and you won't go hungry in the evening either, you'll find something either in the hotel or in a nearby inn. It's such a special and relaxing place, you just don't want to leave. And yes, the reading hotel also has a TV in the room :)

Only 6-7mins walk from the train station. Surrounded by the restaurants and cafes. Toilet and bedroom are clean. Only things to complain is the water pressure and no personal locker in room.

Clean and new. We had a one-bedroom apartment. Very spacious. Kitchen was well-equipped. Heated bathroom. Underground garage. A very comfortable stay. Point to note is that this accommodation has no human being for check in, check out and if you need any help, there is no one. Check in is done through a phone app. You will need (roaming) data, otherwise you cannot open the door. And if you need to call their hotline for help, you will be using international calling (depending on where you come from). As long as you are comfortable with this kind of arrangement, this accommodation is 10/10. I will stay again. As with all apartments, there is no service and you will be expected to sort your rubbish and dispose them at the bin center. Bad Goisern itself has nothing. We used this accommodation as a base for the surrounding area. The apartment is within walking distance to an Italian restaurant and a supermarket.

Me and my brother stayed at the end of June for 2 nights half board. The hotel itself smelt really clean and very fresh. The rooms were clean but much smaller than expected. We asked for two single beds but we received a double room. The food was pretty tasteless and not a very big variety. I did end up going hungry. There is a nice pathway from the garden into Bad Aussee. It is a very steep climb back up though. Our first night staying here at Midnight a coach load of kids turned up having a party in the car park. They were not staying at the hotel but kept us up till 2am. This was a very disturbed night. The staff were not very friendly. It did seem to be an inconvenience to be working for them. The sauna we didn’t bother using as you would have to wait 30 minutes for it to warm up. You still have to pay in your total which was not aware to us until paying in person even if you don’t wish to use it. If you are staying on one of the top floors it can be very difficult taking all your luggage upstairs as there is no lift. The toilets in our bedrooms didn’t flush properly and there was constant trickling sound of water all night. If you would like to play table pool it is 2 Euros a game. There are 2 rooms to eat Breakfast/Dinner. All the guests were shut out of the 2nd room with the big windows with the nice views. We weren’t sure why. Minimal parking as they like to leave the car park for the coaches who come in and out. We probably wouldn’t choose this hotel if we were staying in the area again. Please don’t compare this review to JUFA hotel Grundlsee. I would travel 5 miles just to stay in the hotel if visiting Bad Aussee.
