Spent the week over Christmas here with my husband & 16 year old son. Hotel is beautiful, clean, well looked after & perfectly positioned for a nice 8 minute walk to the town centre & 15 min walk to main Bad Hof Gastein gondola up to the slopes (& all buses to other Gastein ski areas) Breakfast is a plentiful from fresh fruit salad, hams& cheeses, breads & pastries, yoghurts & freshly made omelettes. Coffee is bought to you plus there’s a great selection of teas including English tea if you fancy a pot in the morning. Afternoon tea served until 5pm for when you come off the slopes cakes, breads & drinks. Evening meal is salad buffet, soups main course & dessert (all differ each evening). 2 pool areas - 1 in spa section then one further along which goes outside. Stunning to swim outdoors with the steam coming off the water, underwater lighting looking over to the snow covered slopes. Bar/lounge area fantastic with a wide range of drinks reasonably priced. Didn’t use the boot room room advice is to pay 6 euros per night (3 if hired from inter sport) to store them at the inter sport depot. That way you don’t have to lug your skis up & down or walk in ski boots. Altho the ski bus is directly opposite the hotel and runs fairly frequently. Get the 08:12 bus you arrive 08:25 then on the first gondala at 08:30 to get the best of the corduroy piste. The hotel gym has great equipment o had a look but didn’t use it. Sauna you need to be nude (no swimwear) so for that reason I didn’t use it. Rooms are clean & spacious and you get spa towels aswell. Christmas Eve was the best where you had compliments drinks & songs around the Christmas tree. Our waitress, NIA, from Slovenia was an absolute diamond. Just perfect. Edi the sommelier/bar man was just perfect and looked after us well. Also, sommelier Sebastian was also a pro at his job. Hats off to all the staff it’s a well run hotel which can’t wait to revisit.
