Sporthotel Achensee — Hotel in Achenkirch

This is not our first trip to the Sporthotel Achensee, nor our first review, but as we have been coming for so long, it felt like a good idea to share our experiences over the years again. Our children love coming here, so we have made many repeat visits, for summer and ski holidays. The hotel is comfortable and relaxing, the food and wine is excellent, the kids club offers a range of activities from babies to teenagers, the spa is fantastic and the ski school is convenient and fun for the children. ||My children have been in shows in the purpose-built theatre, taken part in the end of week ski races (which we now have at home on film with full commentaries), designed and raced ducks down the mountain stream, spent hours playing in the outdoor mini lake, played hide and seek in the dark at kids club (after graduating from the baby room with its two-storey play house) and started to love walking in the mountains.||What really makes the hotel stand out for our whole family is the wonderful staff. They go out of their way to make sure that guests of all ages have brilliant holidays. The kids club staff are unfailingly great with the children, but so are all the other staff; we can relax knowing we are in a genuinely child friendly environment. One of my children has additional needs and this has always been well understood and adjustments made if needed - I never thought we would see them up on a stage or skiing. We speak very little German but this has never been an issue at all. There are always familiar faces and when the odd crises has arisen we have experienced kind helpfulness. ||My ten year old has asked me to add that he would give this hotel ten stars...

Cards on the table; we really, really like this place! This was our 9th visit and we have a 10th to come next year. We have visited 7 times for skiing and twice in the summer. It is superb in the winter but arguably even better in the summer. We have a real holiday and the kids absolutely love the place, even our 13 year old.||||So what makes it so good? Superb staff, wonderful setting right at the foot of the slopes, clean and decent rooms, lovely guests, good skiing(albeit a small area but don't be fooled, there is more than meets the eye if you hire a ski teacher/guide), great ski school, wonderful and plentiful food, nice pool/spa area, sizeable and fun kids club. The Seealm provides an escape of sorts and is a wonderful Tyrolean Bar/restaurant. There is lots of cross-country skiing too and horse riding in both summer and winter. For little ones learning to ski, the hotel has a small slope right next door which works brilliantly. All our 3 kids have learnt there and they make a hard job when theuy are little fun and the kids progress so quickly through the ski school's hard work. The kids (and parents too) ski races and presenatations at the end of the week are amazing; think cowbells, cheering, commentary over loudspeakers, anthems at the awards!!||||Summer offers lots more for all the family and the bathing lake is wonderful.||||In short, get yourself a room and go in both...

Ok. Ill start with writing that if there was 10 stars to give i would have give 11. In the 1st day when the hotel receptionist noticed we are late, she called us to ask if we will make it for dinner so she can keep food for us in case we won't. 👍 (the food was great for the adults as for the young ones). The room- wide, clean, great views, equipped with all what family with kids need (they also gives u changing products for babies). There is also special bathrooms for kids and changinv equipped area for babies around the hotel. In the area there is the amazing achen lake and u can rent e-bikes in just 16€ with a basket for the kids to stroll around. The restaurant food is great and the stsff is even better (colin, nadia and rayan- THANKS!). There is indoor and outdoor pools that just inviting u to jump in. Spa in a reasonable prices. Kinderclub which is actually kids dream that become real (for the parents also- there is babycare service for 12 hours a day). They are thinking on the little things such as stairs railings for the little ones, they have free icecream bar, 4 meals a day, carting route and much much more. Thank u very much !!! Waiting for...
