Traditionsgasthof Weißbacher — Restaurant in Wildschönau

Stayed as a group for "Christmas In Austria" and the original hotel further down the valley cancelled our booking. We were sent to this hotel and the information we were given sounded pretty good. It told us it had only 19 bedrooms, untrue more like 50 and could cater for our group with all the Christmas festivities. What a let down, they really had no clue to what an English turkey dinner was and we were served chunks of cold turkey on a platter with cold sprouts and fried potatoes. There was nowhere to sit after our meal as the bar area was no more than an entrance area taken up by the local drinkers who appeared to dislike us all. The bar staff looked aggressive but reluctantantly served us. Christmas day for one poor person in our group ended in insults and a black eye. I felt the staff felt we had been well and truly dumped on them and one very nice older waiter tried to salvage it all by getting some of his friends to sing for us on Christmas eve. Accomadation was not good as the rooms were poorly furnished and we only had towels the size of handtowels to shower with. One poor lady had a leaky pipe and this was never fixed and also her curtains fell down from the bedroom and nobody seemed to care that she was overlooked by a communual veranda. No choices with menues and we were all locked in at 9.00pm at night. Not a friendly hotel and no other British people there to share our experiences with so I am not sure if was as a group we suffered or if it has an antibritish feel to it. We did venture to another hotel on our last evening and found not only the food excellent but they were very...

We had a great time at Weissbacher! The room was not "grand chique", (but we did not care,as we have been travelling enough to know that "chique" has another price tag :-) but they were spacious with even a couch and a table, small kitchen and balcony and every day new towels. The hotel owner Eva is a very friendly and helpful woman. ||Three course dinner, typical Austrian, and allways very good (even our daughter of 8 had no problem with it :-)) And last, but not least...the skilifts are at 50 meters of the hotel!||And............they maybe have no clue what an English turkey dinner is (and why should they), there is also probably nobody in England who knows how to make...
