Hotel Blü Gastein

“A super hotel and well worth a stay”

This is now our 5th time visiting the hotel and can’t rate it highly enough. The hotel is very clean , the staff friendly and super efficient. A perfect location to explore the town and only 10mins from the lift station. Great choice and quality of food and drinks. We definitely will be back.

“Great modern hotel, very friendly and the BEST food.”

We booked this hotel through Crystal Ski and we all thought it was the best hotel that Crystal offer in Bad Hofgastein (we’ve been to several).

We booked this hotel through Crystal Ski and we all thought it was the best hotel that Crystal offer in Bad Hofgastein (we’ve been to several). Yes the rooms were the ones that hadn’t been updated, but we were made aware of this at time of booking. Whilst compact, they were spotlessly clean and comfortable for a good night’s sleep. As we’re on the mountain all day, it’s more than enough. Eva and her staff were so friendly and welcoming. They sorted out a lovely cake for our friends 30th which was wonderful. The food! What can I say? Delicious, in-fact we all agreed it was some of the best food we had ever eaten on a ski holiday. As a vegetarian I found I had lots of delicious choices. Two of our friends stayed in another hotel as they were late booking. It was no trouble for them to join us for an evening meal at the Hotel Blu. There is also a super little bar for drinks before/after dinner. We met many friendly locals and other holiday makers here. We’ve often stayed at different hotels each time we’ve been to Gastein. Not anymore, we will most definitely go back to the Hotel Blu.

Have just returned from a weeks ski holiday staying at the Hotel Blu and really couldn’t find a bad thing to say about our weeks stay there. As we booked our stay through Crystal we were as expected allocated the older rooms in the main part of the hotel. The room was small but perfectly adequate and had a balcony. The bathroom was also a bit small but most importantly had a fantastic shower with constant hot water which is needed after a long days skiing. Our room was situated above the restaurant area below but it was very quiet and never had an issue getting a good nights sleep. The bar and restaurant at the hotel are very contemporary and modern but the staff working there manage to make sure it still retains a very friendly and welcoming atmosphere. The breakfast buffet every morning was extensive with plenty of choices and even an omelette station where you could get fresh omelettes cooked every morning. The food in the restaurant on an evening was fantastic and much better than expected. You also have the option of ordering from the restaurants main A La Carte menu for a small supplement if the small fixed menu was not to your taste on any particular day. It was by far the best food we have had whilst on a ski holiday. The ski and boot room was also modern and large enough to accommodate everyone’s equipment. Unfortunately we didn’t get chance to use the hotels spa facilities so can’t comment on those. The hotel is a good 10-15 minute walk from the gondola station in Bad Hofgastein but there is a bus stop right outside the hotel that gets you there in a couple of minutes. Nobody in our party of six would hesitate to return to the hotel for a future holiday be it for skiing or a summer trip.
