Bockwirt — Hotel in Politische Expositur Gröbming

Took a while to find - no signage. Went into a bar on the same street and a guy in the said we were actually in the right place which was lucky! He then said we had to call the owener to get the key. We had not been previously told this or given any mobile number but we had said in the booking that we would be arriving around 8pm and it said reception closed at 10pm. The friendly guy staying there called the owner for us because we weren't able to. After about a 15 minute wait in the cold the owner showed up. Drunk. He basically wouldn't let us in. Mocked our Australian accents and pretty much anything that my partner said. After lots of confusion and him not caring and saying he needed to light his cigarette first and then have another drink, we finally just left and went to the beautifully cosy...

Small guesthouse just 50 meters from the main square, so the location is very well.||But note before you book, that "Sommercard" is not included in the price.||Sommercard is a discount card provided by more than 700 accomodations in Schladming free of charge, and it can be used on all buses, ski-lifts etc in the whole region.||Just to clarify: one run on the ski lift costs 35 EUR without card, and free with the card.||So you can save 10 EUR/day booking Bockwirt and loose 35 EUR/day if you'd like to use...

Firstly we didn’t stay here, just dropped in for some food. Pizzas OK but not great. Still, a good value and a more traditional joint (food and drink Italian, seating and general vibes Austrian) which seem to be more hard to come by these days. For some reason couldn’t get a coffee when we arrived despite a functioning coffee machine doing its thing! Christ knows why? To be honest its this kind of things that makes eating in these places...
