We enjoyed staying at the hotel. The room is clean and breakfast is super delicious and healthy with lots of varieties of meat, egg dishes, bread types, etc. The personnel is very friendly and eager to help. We truly enjoyed our stay in the hotel and wanted to extend our stay for 1 more night but unfortunately no rooms were available. We shall definitely be back !

The hotel got in touch before we arrived to ensure that there was someone available to meet us. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful, providing tips on good places to eat and to visit locally. The breakfasts were outstanding! Note that the hotel has limited facilities, essentially providing bed and breakfast, which was perfect for what we needed during our stay. There is a myriad of good places to eat in walking distance of the hotel.

Tolle Lage, großartiger Blick

Etwas schwer erreichbar, weil das Navi mit der Fußgängerzone Schwierigkeiten hat und mir nicht klar war, dass man nur in der Tiefgarage parken kann (die an diesem Abend auch wegen drohender Unwetter extrem gut belegt war). Toller Blick vom Zimmer über den Traunsee, netter Service. Großes Frühstücksbuffet, bei schönem Wetter zudem auf der Loggia einnehmbar.
