My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms, although a bit small for two adults, had a pleasant modern interior, comfortable bed, and a sunny balcony overlooking the town. They were large, very quiet, and perfectly clean. The service was top-notch with extremely friendly and helpful staff. The location was very good, in the middle of the town center, although slightly limited for mountain walking. The dining experience was amazing with a wide variety to choose from. The facilities were excellent and well-maintained.

The hotel recently received a makeover, and while the rooms were clean and functional, they were a bit small for two adults. However, the modern interior, comfortable bed, and sunny balcony made the stay enjoyable despite the lack of a tea/coffee set. The friendly and helpful staff enhanced the overall experience, although the mountain walking options were slightly limited in the location.

The hotel is situated at the center of Bad Hofgastein, offering clean and comfortable rooms, friendly staff, and a great location. However, the rooms are on the small side, which might be a result of the hotel's history in the central area. The sunny balcony adds a nice touch to the room.

The hotel is situated to the rear of the hotel, offering a nice little balcony overlooking town and the Alps. The rooms have received an obvious makeover recently, but unfortunately, the bathrooms were not up to par in terms of modernity. The staff is lovely and always willing to help, though the price might not entirely reflect the value received.
