Second visit to this lovely hotel and will certainly visit again. Family run hotel with friendly helpful staff and even a wave off for the first ski bus which stops at the door. Rooms cosy and reasonably spacious with plenty of storage for clothes and gear. Heated boot room by front door with ski lockup just outside at the end of the hotel. Food is not your fancy fare but good wholesome meals and you never go hungry. Breakfast from 07:30 and dinner from 18:30 and a dining room with stunning views over the Gastein valley. Walking into Bad Gastein is fairly short cutting through a few lanes and walkway but be prepared for a good uphill hike back. Then again this is the Alps so don’t expect it to be flat😂😂 Thank you to all the staff and hopefully back again soon👍

“Good hotel with great views and wonderful staff.”

We stayed here in March 23. The hotel is located about 15min walk from the main town / station area. It is a very nice hotel with steam room, sauna and small outdoor pool - all lovely after skiing.

We stayed here in March 23. The hotel is located about 15min walk from the main town / station area. It is a very nice hotel with steam room, sauna and small outdoor pool - all lovely after skiing. We had a wonderful ensuite room (208) which was large, had a balcony and had great views over the valley. The food was good and varied. There is a small bar area but plenty large enough for a few post skiing drinks with the other guests. If you wanted more bars it isn't very far to walk into town. The ski buses stop right outside the hotel but you do need to be on time (every 30mins in peak morning & afternoons), as they do not wait if you are late. All of the staff were very helpful and pleasant. Big shout out to Peter who made sure we had everything we needed (even Bombardino's!). Boot warming room and outside ski hut were good. We would return again.

“Average in a ghost town”

We booked one night stay at the Alpenblick hoping the weather would be beautiful and we could sit round the pool. The weather was vile and who knew Bad Gastein in May is like a ghost town!

We booked one night stay at the Alpenblick hoping the weather would be beautiful and we could sit round the pool. The weather was vile and who knew Bad Gastein in May is like a ghost town! We arrived by train and took bus 555 to the hotel - €2.40 one way. The hotel is a good 20 mins walk from the train station and it is a challenging walk. The hotel is old fashioned, the staff were lovely. We booked a standard double and that’s what we got despite it not being full. Our room was 317 which overlooked the road and entrance - no beautiful Mountain View’s for us! The hotel has lots of public rooms for sitting, reading etc, a very small hotel bar which is open at this time of year until 10am. You can get dinner at the hotel but we chose to eat out. Make sure you get your Gastein card to get bus discount. We only found out after 3 trips. This means you get unlimited travel for a day for €1.50 however the buses don’t run late. The last one is around 6pm and they are also every hour. The room was comfy enough, the pillows were like teabags though. Breakfast we felt like we were told off a bit. We asked where to sit and were told anywhere without a stone as you didn’t come for dinner last night! Bear in mind dinner wasn’t included! Breakfast was continental and no one came to ask if we wanted anything cooked. We went at 0930 apparently breakfast finishes at 1015 but they took the coffee away at 0945. There wasn’t anything wrong with the hotel - it’s not their fault they are miles from the centre but it was just average and I don’t feel worth £132 for the night. You ideally want somewhere near the train station area.
