    Staff was polite except one of the waiter. Some parts of the gasthouse were under renovation and chairs and furnitures were stored on the corridor of my room. The bathroom was not so modern and my bed was uncomfortable.

    The location is OK. It’s out of Bad Ischl, but easy to get there by bus or app. 2,5 km walking on nice forest path. The restaurant is good with delicious meals.

    It was a scenic place that is typical of Austria. If you research the route carefully, it is also good to walk the route from Bad Ischl to the hotel. There's no problem as the bus stop is nearby.

    The accommodation offers an excellent quality-price ratio. The prices are unexpectedly affordable compared to the surroundings. The advantage is the restaurant that is open until 9 pm, including Sundays. This is not often seen in Austria after the Covid period. Most Gashofs only offer accommodation with breakfast. Don't expect luxury, but average for a great price. The service is usually very pleasant.

    Not value for money. Room is overpriced. Very messy corridorb with restaurant chairs, etc. Check out time is at 10am, at 9.30am while we were still in room, the cleaner knock our door one time then use his own key to open our room directly. He didn't even check properly if we were still inside the room since it was still another 30mins to check out. Very bad experience.

    Friendly staff.

    The room was too hot and the temperature couldn't be regulated well. But the window was made open to help to cool the room down.

    It was big enough for 2-3.

    The interaction with the staff could have been better. They were rude and not listening to our request at all.

    The room was spacious, well heated. The restaurant had a pub like vibe

    I have one more night after I checked in. But the owner didn't allow me use Booking.com but pay direct which is more expensive. It's difficult to accept, I COULD have a new order through Booking.com, if I were not in hurry. Also, if you want to go to the station the bus schedule may be 2 hours a time. Anyway the room is satisfied enough.

    The room is big, clean, it's very satisfied. The room service staff is very kind.

    Don't expect too much with it's price. The motel itself is very old and basic. The sensor lights in the corridor are not working well.

    The price is good compared to others. Breakfast is provided in their own restaurant downstairs , though basic but good enough. There is a supermarket nearby.

    The floor at the entrance to the rooms was slippery and greasy because it also served as access to the kitchen. There were no glasses or shower gel in the room. There was mold in the bathroom, the ceiling panels were warped, and the shelf under the sink was leaning, so things were sliding off it. The TV did not work, and the disconnected cable ended on the balcony. The floating floor was laid on carpet and had holes in it. The breakfast selection was small, with the cheapest ingredients available, and the soft-boiled egg white was raw and runny. We left after the first night, even though we had booked a two-night stay.

    Free parking at the hotel.

    Terrible experience. Very unkind, even ignoring attitude in terms of service during check-in. Bad breakfast. Everything worn out, broken and old. But clean! And when checking out there was a surprise - they asked me to pay a second time. Only thanks to the receipt was it possible to prove that the payment was made. I do not recommend!

    Nothing in hotel. Good dinner in restaurant

    Finde das Buchungssystem heraus, wenn du kannst.

    The landlady here only speaks German and I only speak English. When we thought there was something wrong with the reservation system, I finally confirmed that I had a room available. Thank you to the staff who translated for me, and to the Austrian friend and the landlady who poured me wine at the bar.
