Fantastic dinner with great service. Parking is free, there's a qr code in the menu to register your car (and avoid being towed).
We had a one night stop in Austria and made reservations mostly based on the view. The restart had mixed reviews, but seemed to have gotten better with new ownership so we decided to give them a try. It's a nice little place right on the water. They have limited seating on the water and since we were celebrating a special event, I reserved one of the lakeside tables a few weeks in advance. This is important because they will actually hold your table for you! I've made many reservations in the past where the reservation is basically meaningless, particularly for good seating. Here, they honor their word, our lakeside table was made ready for us as soon as we arrived. We reserved for 8 (with an advertised closing time of 9), to see the sunset over the lake. It was beautiful.
Our service was "European attentive". As an American, we're generally used to a bit more interaction with the waitstaff but having them a little more distant can be seen as a blessing. Our dinner took more like 2 hours, but despite it being almost an hour after closing time, we were never rushed or given "the look." In fact, the owners asked us if we'd like to share an aperitif on our way out.
Our food was very good. I had a salad, my wife had trout, both were prepared well and nicely presented. This is a beach side restaurant with an ice cream bar, yet care was made in the preparation and presentation of the food. The menu suggests that the food is sourced as locally as is possible, some of it very local.
We had a very nice evening and a...
Read moreThis was our last, and very sad, experience with this hotel. We have been coming here for a family holiday for five years. At first, we were absolutely thrilled: great location right on Lake Attersee, wonderful staff, nothing was ever a problem. For dinner, fresh fish straight from the lake, and rich breakfasts with an excellent selection of regional products. But year after year, something was missing. The hotel deteriorated, was not maintained, everywhere something was broken or simply out of order, and – unfortunately – in the common areas there was dirt that hadn’t been cleaned for a long time, I mean really old dirt, not just dust or sand from the beach. Dead flies everywhere, cobwebs, hallways used as storage for broken furniture, etc. On the first day of our stay the elevator broke down and stayed broken for the entire time – and the third floor without an elevator is quite a problem for our 75-year-old father. At the same time, there was no heating in the rooms: when asked, the receptionist said that summer was over and at the end of summer, they don’t heat. OK, late September may still be considered summer, but when it’s 12 degrees outside, it’s not exactly comfortable in the rooms anymore. The quality of breakfast also dropped terribly, whether because of the absence of staff in general (is it normal that the receptionist comes during breakfast to tell you that if you want eggs, you should ask, and she’ll make them?), or because of the food itself: all week long there were just a few dried-out slices of ham and cheese, with a couple of new ones added each morning. The fruit (sliced pineapple and orange) turned brown between Monday and Friday. The once homemade jams and honey were replaced by prefabricated portions in plastic – and for that you pay €10 per person per day… Together with €140 per night for the room, this is nothing we’d like to repeat. Good luck to the new tenants – and let us know once you’re back in shape.
Das war unsere letzte und sehr traurige Erfahrung mit diesem Hotel. Seit fünf Jahren fahren wir für unseren Familienurlaub dorthin. Anfangs waren wir völlig begeistert: großartige Lage direkt am Attersee, tolles Personal, nichts war ein Problem. Zum Abendessen frischer Fisch direkt aus dem See, reichhaltiges Frühstück mit einem hervorragenden Angebot an regionalen Produkten.
Aber von Jahr zu Jahr fehlte etwas. Das Hotel verfiel, wurde nicht gepflegt, überall war etwas kaputt oder gleich ganz außer Betrieb und – leider – in den Gemeinschaftsbereichen lag lange nicht gereinigter Schmutz. Ich meine wirklich alten Schmutz, nicht nur Staub oder Sand vom Strand. Überall tote Fliegen, Spinnweben, Flure, die als Abstellraum für kaputte Möbel dienten usw.
Am ersten Tag unseres Aufenthalts fiel der Aufzug aus und blieb die ganze Zeit kaputt – und das dritte Stockwerk ohne Aufzug ist für unseren 75-jährigen Vater ein echtes Problem.
Gleichzeitig wurde in den Zimmern nicht geheizt: auf Nachfrage erklärte die Rezeptionistin, dass der Sommer vorbei sei und am Ende des Sommers nicht mehr geheizt werde. Nun ja, Ende September mag vielleicht noch Spätsommer sein, aber bei 12 Grad draußen ist es in den Zimmern nicht mehr angenehm.
Auch die Qualität des Frühstücks ist schrecklich gesunken, sei es wegen der geringen Personalpräsenz (ist es normal, dass die Rezeptionistin beim Frühstück vorbeikommt und sagt, wenn man Eier wolle, solle man Bescheid geben, dann mache sie welche?), oder wegen der Lebensmittel: die ganze Woche über lagen dort nur ein paar vertrocknete Scheiben Schinken und Käse, zu denen jeden Morgen ein paar neue gelegt wurden. Das Obst (Ananas- und Orangenscheiben) war zwischen Montag und Freitag braun geworden. Die einst hausgemachten Marmeladen und der Honig wurden durch Einwegportionen aus Plastik ersetzt – und dafür zahlt man 10 € pro Person… Zusammen mit 140 € pro Nacht für das Zimmer ist das nichts, was wir wiederholen möchten.
Viel Glück den neuen Pächtern – und gebt Bescheid, wenn ihr wieder...
Read moreI stayed at the hotel for two nights with my family of four in July 2025. The location is very good, directly bordering the lake. Swimming was very nice and there is a lawn with loungers and a little playground. The breakfast room offers panoramic views of the lake as well. That said, this isn’t the most beautiful part of the lake, which is further south where the backdrop is mountainous rather than flat.|We had two double rooms that weren’t very nice, to be honest. The furniture looked decades old, rather tasteless, and quite tired. The bathrooms could do with an update as well. There was no A/C, no coffee/tea station and no safe (just a drawer that could be locked).|The staff were friendly but not very helpful. The reception isn’t signposted and isn’t easy to find. One has to walk through the restaurant to get there. Even though my booking was obviously for a family, we got rooms on two different floors. Breakfast times had to be booked ahead of time, but then none of the staff cared about that reservation. As consequently one could have showed up at any time, why bother guests with mandatory online reservations in the first place? |Breakfast was good, though. It was buffet style with good quality food and...
