Very beautiful and relaxing stay, seeterrasse is a perfect place to enjoy the lake
Pros:

Location, facility is perfect. Nicole at the reception is your top employee. Smart, helpful, friendly - all in all a top professional!

Cons:

Some other staff members response and attitude. Not bad but for a prestigious hotel like yours expected to be at least one level up.

Pros:

Хотелът е много добър и на отлично място. Персоналът е отзивчив и любезен

Cons:

Трябва да се помисли за повече удобства - закачалка в банята, повече свободно място за багажа и тоалетните принадлежности. Имахме проблем със служител на паркинга, който ни остави на пътя в силен дъжд, вместо да ни откара до хотела.

Pros:

It has the best location in the town.

Cons:

The service is okay. They charge extra service fee to bring over some water. It is definitely overpriced but the hotel is probably the best and only decent choice in the little town.

Charming hotel with one significant drawback
Pros:

1. Excellent location right in the heart of town on the town Square
2. Furnishings and view from the third floor lake facing terrace – exceptional
3. Housekeeper Claudia – the most proactive, friendly and helpful housekeeper we have ever encountered. A huge credit to the hotel.
4. Comfortable king size bed with added mattress topper.

Cons:

1. The heavy flannel-like bed linens – even the pillowcase – and thick duvet in a high floor room with no air-conditioning and a small, almost useless, fan during very high outside ambient temperatures. Can’t open doors and windows for air due to bugs and noise. Very uncomfortable at night and almost no sleep as a result. Much stronger fan and lighter bedsheets needed in hot weather
2. Awkwardly positioned shower wand in the middle of the shower/bath combo rather than at the end, allowing water to reach the floors.

Wonderful, with one significant caveat
Pros:

The location could hardly be better: literally on the town square, with a stunning view over the lake. We stayed for 2 nights in a 3rd floor junior suite #301 with a very large terrace, which was furnished with a dining set, umbrella and two padded loungers. It was a wonderful place to unwind and take in the view.

The spacious, classically-furnished suite was comfortable, with 2 comfy armchairs, a desk and a particularly useful hall table — perfect for keeping sunglasses, keys and phones. The bathroom had large windows bringing in natural light, as well as a bidet, and a shower/tub combination that had an awkwardly placed shower-head in the middle of the wall rather than at the end, making it difficult to shower without splashing the floor. One small omission: there were no washcloths.

The king bed was exceedingly comfortable, and I believe the staff had kindly added a plush mattress topper at my request. The pillows were also good. Unfortunately, the bedding was much too heavy for the weather. The sheets were flannel-like and the duvet and its cover were very thick. Hallstatt was extremely hot during our stay and, as there is no air-conditioning in the hotels, we sweltered at night — particularly on the 3rd floor. The hotel provided a small Dyson fan, but it simply wasn’t powerful enough to make much difference. We understand the restrictions on air-conditioning, but the hotel could easily improve the situation by providing substantially larger, stronger fans and lighter summer bedding.

One person deserves special mention: Claudia, the housekeeper, was exceptional — hands down the best we have encountered in our travels. She had a wonderfully positive, “fix any problem” and “provide any service” attitude, and went well beyond expectations, even looking after us after her working hours. Claudia is an immense credit to the hotel and made our 2-night stay particularly enjoyable.

Breakfast offered a good selection of both savoury and sweet options, although everything was buffet-style and nothing was made to order. Dinner was tasty.

And if you’re inclined, you can simply slip into the lake from the ladder on the dock directly in front of the hotel. I did — and it was heavenly.

Overall, I would recommend this hotel for its charming furnishings, spectacular lakefront setting and unbeatable location. With a few very inexpensive improvements — namely stronger fans and lighter bedding in hot weather — management could make an appealing hotel considerably more comfortable.

Cons:

Offensichtlicher hoteldirektor hatte so einen indischen dialekt im englisch dass man ihn kaum verstand. So wie ich es einschätze auch keine bemühungen den unverständlichen dialekt zu verbessern. Hotelrestaurant serviert so dermassen kleine portionen auf überdimensionierten tellern dass wenn man auf nachfrage nachschlag möchte weil es einfach nicht genug ist, die zweite mini portion auch noch doppelt zahlen muss. Ziemliche frechheit diese portionen!

Breathtaking View & late Check in
Pros:

Our stay in Hallstatt was absolutely unforgettable. The views here are truly breathtaking and unlike anything else in the world, with the dramatic mountains meeting the serene lake. While the standard check-in time wasn't until 3:00 PM, we found the perfect strategy to enjoy this popular destination. I highly recommend arriving later in the afternoon or early evening. Once the last ferries leave and the heavy crowds of day-trippers depart, the town completely transforms. Walking through the quiet, winding streets at evening feels like you have the entire fairytale village all to yourself. It is peaceful, romantic, and the absolute best way to experience Hallstatt's true charm. If you want to avoid the crowds and see the town at its best, plan for a later arrival and enjoy the evening calm!

Pros:

The view from our balcony was absolutely lovely. We would book that room again! The location was also fantastic. Right by the town square with easy walking around the town and lake access. About a 10-15 minute walk to the parking garage outside of town.

Cons:

There was a heat wave and so it was VERY hot. They provided a small floor fan which didn't do much at all as far as move air around. A larger fan or ceiling fan would have made things much more comfortable. It made sleeping uncomfortable. So I'm not sure if it was just the heat or if the bed wasn't super comfortable.
