We visited the Briem Hotel as a half board package deal with Inghams. We were greeted on arrival by Christine, the owner, who, together with her staff made us feel very welcome, with a lovely personal touch. The hotel was located just on the edge of town with clear views of the surrounding mountains. Busses and train station are within easy walking distance as is the Westerndorf gondola station. Our room was spacious with comfortable beds, lovely cosy bedding and a balcony with views of the church and mountains, and kept spotlessly clean by the friendly housekeeping staff. Breakfast was buffet style with a good choice of food and evening meal was excellent…4 courses with a choice of mains, to be chosen at breakfast time. The bar was cosy with seating both inside and on the front terrace and was reasonably priced. We had a lovely week, despite the bad weather, and really hope we will be able to return in the future. A big thank you to Christine and ...

A very comprehensive buffet including multiple meats, cheeses and breads, together with boiled eggs yogurt , juices and tea / coffee. Evening meals were also a very nice 4 course offering. Soup, salad then a choice of 2 mains followed by small desert. The food again was traditional Austrian and was very good. We would certainly...

My single room was adequate but quite small and included a single bed, a table and arm chair, with storage space and a bathroom with a bath and shower over the bath.|The food was quite good but the evening meal, which was four courses had a choice of between only two main courses. The choice had to be made at breakfast.|Westendorf is quite small and, after having eaten the evening meal and with poor weather, there was little to do but sit in the bedroom. The hotel did have an area set aside with arm chairs. This it was not a separate room, but an area off the main passage and nobody used these to sit and relax.|The staff were friendly and helpful.|It experience was reminiscent of holidays taken in Austria in the 90's but peoples' expectations have...
