Guest Reviews:

- "I stayed at this hotel for only one night. But, I should have stayed more. This hotel has a wide range of breakfast and, needless to say it's very delicious. And this hotel has spa(pool and some kinds of sauna) and it opens until 9:00 pm. It's good that each room has fridge. Bad Ichl itself is near to Hallstatt, St. Wolfgang, and Zalzburg. When you travel Salzkammergut, I hope everyone stays this hotel" - "Wonderful views from the superior room. The front reception staff were great especially the young ma le fluent Eng lish speaker- very helpful. Breakfast buffet had excellent choices and you dine in the old villa vs the hotel is the building adjacent. To make the stay even better put a little freezer in the mini fridge to freeze water for cool water during the day and ditch the water saving device on the shower head as not much pressure. Floor needs to be mopped not vacuumed to get the dirt off. First day the spa was cold but second day the temperature had been turned up. Similar to most European hotels no top sheet but doonas (we took our own top sheet and face flannels) firm beds and non-fluffy towels. No kettle or mugs in the room but we took our own for a cuppa as you need to pay at the bar if you want a night cup of tea/coffee or when you arrive. Therefore I recommend they have a coffee/hot water machine in the lobby similar to the breakfast one so guests can make their own. 12 minute walk to station and we pushed our bags ok as no taxi at the station or Uber available."
