Hotel Steinerwirt — Hotel in Zell am See

The hotel is located a short walk away from the lake zell am see & those arriving by train will be pleased to know that the hotel is near the train station as well. The cable car for skis is opposite the hotel. Skiiers should arrive early to avoid long lines. The bus station is just opposite the hotel & is handy for those travelling to Kaprun for the panaromic cable car to “ Top of Salzburg”. |Ask for the bus timetable for Kaprun from hotel staff . | Housed in a wooden chalet with sloping roofs, the hotel combines modern amenities with a warm welcome of a fireplace at its entrance . Staff are helpful & efficient. |There is free flow of water with vegetables & lemons at the entrance. There are complimentary fruits at the lobby too. |The buffet breakfast is a treat . IN addition, guests can also order their hot beverage & omelette from the kitchen & girls dressed in traditional Austrian Dirndl will serve the breakfast piping hot. The attached restaurant is a busy & popular eatery in the area.| If it happens to be fully booked, hotel guests have the privilege of being served the meals in their rooms. I sampled the classical Austrian meal of veal schitnzel & found that the version at the hotel served with cranberries is tasty & not greasy at all.|If you come to this hotel, pls bring your swimming costume. I regretted not bringing mine. There is a jacuzzi at the attic. Peeping up into the attic, I watch with envy as guests swirl around in the hottub while snow falls around them. |Overall, I will recommend this hotel highly as it is a welllocated hotel with clean rooms, helpful staff & tasty...

On Friday the 8th of February I have had a dinner with a group of 6 people. We came at 19.30 and the expectations were high, as we were recommended to go over here. Despite the good reviews, we hade a completely different experience with Steinerwirt. From the moment we came in, we got the feeling that they just wanted us to sell food, serve it quickly, and get rid of us.

A group of 6 adults were from walk-in to finishing the header in 35 minutes done. When we had given our orders to the waiter, they forgot to serve us bread and garlic and it never came on the table. Moreover, we asked especially for mayonnaise, they forgot it too. We were placed in a 'left over room' where the waiter never came again after taking the order and serving the dishes. A missed chance, because they could earn a lot more, when they would be more accurate and offer us a better service.

Most of all.... when still some of us were eating, they were already cleaning the table.... And it was just a quarter past 8. In my entire life, having dinner in several restaurants, a high variety of kitchens, this has never happened to me....! It certainly does not credit this place.

Therefore I would warn everyone who is looking for a nice restaurant in Zell am See. Don't go here, only if you want to feel rushed and if you want to stand outside again in 40 minutes. It's a shame, because the quality of the food was good. Not perfect, but good.

To give Steinerwirt an advice, please train...
