Hotels Near Patscherkofel Cable Car Lower/Valley Station in Innsbruck-Igls

The Alphotel Innsbruck is probably the worst hotel we've ever stayed at! But we had no choice since we were on a tour package and this was the hotel that Gate1 chose for our itinerary. We weren't the only tour members who did not have a good stay at this hotel. Our tour group had a long day and we were scheduled to arrive late so we were all pretty tired when we arrived. Unfortunately the room we were assigned to didn't even look or feel exceptionally clean and I'm surprised I didn't take photos of the room! Comparing posted photos of the rooms on TA our room looked much older and didn't even have a real chair, but only one of those small round ottomans. And that ottoman was dirty and stained, so we didn't want to sit on that! The bedspread had that ”ick” factor, so we removed it but at least the sheets were clean. Carpet looked grungy so we made sure to wear our slippers and not walk barefoot on it. Regret not taking pictures of the room now. We've stayed at hotels with older or ”tired” decor but they were at least neat and clean, but not at this hotel! Now the ”fun” part was our bathroom door. I was getting ready to take a shower and went into the bathroom, but wanted to use my own soap and toiletries, so I went out of the bathroom and my husband (who was standing in front of the bathroom, looking at the closet or something right across from the bathroom) shut the opaque glass bathroom door. I went back to the bathroom and tried to open the door and it was locked! It was one of those simple privacy type locks where there's usually a pinhole that you can usually press and it'll pop open. Unfortunately, there was no pinhole but a screw so I tried twisting the screw but the door remained locked. Husband tried but it kept turning and he didn't have any tools so he called the front desk and they sent the maintenance guy up. The maintenance guy looked at the door and tried twisting the screw with the same results and said he needed to go get his tools. He returned with his small toolbox and tried several screwdrivers, with no luck. Then he tried using a small drill to remove the screw and still couldn't get the door unlocked. Meanwhile, we were sitting on the bed and watching tv since there was nothing else we could do. I texted our friends who were also traveling in the tour group and assigned to the room right next door to let them know what was happening. And to apologize to them for the loud racket, as the maintenance guy went and got his large power drill and was basically removing the entire door knob and panel. So the guy had to destroy the whole door knob panel because the door lock screw or nut inside the panel was probably stripped and couldn't unlock or open the door; so if I was on the other side of the door I would have been stuck in the bathroom! Other hotel guests across the hall were opening their doors to find out what the loud racket and noises and disturbance was. This whole problem took the poor m

It is a hotel with a very good location next to the train station. There are many convenience stores inside the train station. I traveled to visit the festive Christmas market within walking distance. And likewise, the city is not big when staying at this hotel. You can take a walking tour to see the Innes River. and pastel-colored buildings conveniently Including various tourist attractions, it is easy to walk. Plus, the view from the bedroom of the snow-capped mountains is very beautiful. The staff were very nice, good service, most impressive.

We booked a Panorama Deluxe room for 3 nights, checking in on Sept. 20th. The property is centrally located along the train station and features a parking directly connected by elevator. The “piece de resistance” of this tall building is clearly its stunning view on the town and surrounding mountains. We were lodged in room 1104 on the 11.th floor which is the top floor featuring rooms, as the 12th accommodates the lounge/restaurant where breakfast is also served. Curiously, the hotel doesn’t have a lobby in a traditional sense: the concierge & cashier counter can be found in a small separate office on the basement and the elevators to the rooms are located in a small hall, across a glass door, which opens directly on Brunecker Street. Access security to the floors being managed by room key-card, you can enter/exit the property and the parking with no contact to any staff at all. Our room was a corner one, rather large, beautifully architected and nicely furnished in a contemporary metropolitan style. From virtually any point of the room (bathroom included) it was possible to spot some additional detail of the stunning panorama. The room was comfortable and quiet (in spite of the near busy train station), breakfast was good and we definitively had a very good time here in Innsbruck.

Room very basic but generally adequate. Plus points: God location, nice lobby area and staff were friendly. WiFi seemed ok for me. Negatives: far too warm overnight especially with the very heavy duvet which is the only bedding available, had to leave the window open even though it was -9 C outside, this meant it was very noisy. Not enough pillows, 1 very flat pillow makes for an uncomfortable night for people used to more. I kept migrating to the divot in between the two narrow single beds making up the double as the curve in the mattresses was very pronounced. Not the cleanest room. Little sound proofing inside and very noisy from adjacent rooms. Could hear the person above coughing / sneezing / walking around and even zipping their suitcase at 6am!

The overall positive reviews for this property are difficult to rationalize following a recent stay here. This is really a three star hotel and the experience was disappointing for the price. While rooms in this part of the world are frequently small, our standard double room was barely large enough for two people with bags to move around comfortably. Furthermore, the bathroom is minuscule, and there is no real privacy for occupants given that the only thing separating the bathroom from the sleeping room is a sliding glass door that does not fully close. There are few amenities in the bathroom, and only refillable shampoo was provided in the shower, no soap or conditioner. A request to the front desk for either of these items was met with a terse reply from the rather gruff staff member that this is all they offer. Air conditioning cooled the room quite effectively, but the front desk informed us that the set point function was not enabled and that we could only control the temperature and fan speed of the output, which meant that we needed to either keep it on all night despite the room already being cold, or to shut it off entirely. The room and main floor common areas were very clean. Assistance was also lacking for a purported four star property. We checked in an hour before the room was ready and were allowed to store our bags for that time, but when we returned to the hotel a few hours later not only had the bags not been delivered to the room, we were given a key and directed to their basement storage locker where we were instructed to retrieve the luggage ourselves. The front desk did not appear to be busy at that time so I assume this is standard practice. The hallways were rather noisy until later at night, and the walls were thin with noise from neighboring rooms as well. The location is central and very convenient for walking or public transport, but the hotel faces a busy street. Internally facing rooms like ours were in close proximity to an adjacent outdoor restaurant and alleyway. Breakfast was a relative bright spot, although we found this to be no better than at most hotels in similar categories, and there were no made to order options. Attendants here were prompt and courteous, however they really only cleared dishes and did not serve anything. All considered, and even accounting for the various nuances of similar properties in this region, the Maximilian did not feel like a highly rated hotel, and the overall experience certainly did not come close to reflecting the lofty nightly rate, nor the strong review ranking we all see here.

The location of this hotel is pretty good. You walk from the historical center of Innsbruck towards the bridge, you cross it and then go up a little bit. It’s at most 10 minutes by foot. The hotel seems small but nice. There is an issue with the parking though. It’s on the sides of the building and very limited. We warned the staff that we will arrive two hours earlier the check in and they said it was fine, however on that day the front desk person didn’t want to allow us to park (later she did after we mentioned the emails). We were also not given the room even though it was ready (we know because they okayed to leave our luggage there). I understand the rules but I worked in the hospitality business for many years and traveled a lot and it’s a common practice to give the guests their room a bit earlier if it’s ready. Except this not most pleasant check in, our stay was fine. The room was tiny but clean. The breakfast was simple but nice. We thought it was a good value. If you need a budget stay, you can consider this place.

Nice hotel but staff could be a bit more welcoming. At least a smile and use our names. The room was clean and pleasant. Quiet. Good comfortable bed with a great view to the mountains. Had dinner one night which was quite yummy and staff were prompt and friendly. Would have liked to sit outside in the small court yard but is stinks due to the smokers. This is an issue with most hotels we stayed in, no place outside to enjoy for non smokers. Great location with easy 5 min walk to city centre.

A very good experience, very convenient when registering for accommodation; the waiter is very friendly and has a feeling of being at home. Unfortunately, I had to leave early this time and didn't have breakfast. Next to it is a big supermarket!

We spent one night in this hotel during a roadtrip. The hotel is magnificent and completely quiet. The rooms are very spacious, with a pretty terrace and very comfortable bedding. The only downside is the lack of air conditioning but this seems to be the case in many hotels in the mountains. It was very hot during our stay and the night was not very relaxing... There is a large spa accessible free of charge as well as a swimming pool and it is very pleasant to relax there. The breakfast was simply extraordinary: a wide variety of fresh and refined products. The restaurant was unfortunately closed the evening we were there and this was a problem for us as we were on a motorbike and no restaurant was within reasonable walking distance. That’s when Monique, the receptionist, naturally offered us to take her car so we could go eat! We couldn’t believe such kindness! We didn't dare leave for an entire evening in his car and so borrowed it to get takeaway pizzas not far from the hotel. She then brought us the necessary cutlery and a bottle of wine. We were truly touched by such kindness and I would like to take advantage of this comment to thank her again!

Here you feel at home immediately! At the reception, at the bar, at the restaurant always friendly staff. The owners are also on site and live customer care pax excellence! The rooms are very skillful and very well equipped. The food is high and it's something for everyone. Here you'll be very happy to see me again
