The customer truly is king at the Karnerhof. The service quality is supreme, even put against higher-rated hotels I have previously stayed at. What really stood out regarding this was the treatment of my disabled mom, who they brought breakfast to the room, fetched medicine from a pharmacy, drove down to the lake-side beach with a golf cart, and just generally treated super nicely. Here I want to pay a special thanks to Franz Egger from service, who remembers each customer's name, and Laetitia from the reception who went above and beyond and was just exceptional. My mother was also able to stay in a modern room on the ground floor with a view of the lake and an accessible bathroom and shower. I visited the Karnerhof for 5 days in July and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. The area offers plenty of activities to do, such as football golf, golf, tennis (directly at the Karnerhof), swimming, hiking, biking, as well as various water activities (rowing and SUP can be done at the Karnerhof, sailing, kayaking, and windsurfing can be done from spots very close to the hotel. The food was also great with the terrace offering a nice view of the mountain range and the lake. Would definitely recommend staying here, especially for families with small kids and senior citizens, which the hotels particularly caters to. What I could recommend for further improvement would be ventilators in the restroom in the rooms as well as increasing the wi-fi bandwith for the hotel rooms which suffers especially during busy times (e.g. 7-10 pm).

“Beautiful views, nice lake and two pools. Comfortable rooms.”

The majority of rooms have been renovated. However our room had still not been renovated but was large and very comfortable with a large balcony and mountain / lake views. If the weather is good, the garden by the lake is beautiful and swimming in the lake is very pleasant. Unfortunately of the three days we were there, we only had one day of nice sunny weather. However the hotel has an indoor pool and a beautiful new outdoor infinity pool. Our only gripe was that the outdoor pool should be a little warmer, especially on days that there is no sun and the temperature drops. The dining room and terrace with the beautiful lake and mountain views was a pleasure. The food was decent. The staff were very friendly and speak English. The meals even include 4 o'clock coffee / cake on the terrace. We enjoyed our short stay here.

The Karnerhof is a lovely family run hotel right at the Faaker See. A beautiful, turquoise lake with a pleasant temperature, ideal for swimming. The modern hotel features clean, comfortable rooms, great beds and nice bathrooms. There is an indoor and outdoor restaurant, a bar, some evening evening entertainment (occasionally) a great and spacious indoor pool, jacuzzi and wellness area. Treatments are also available, massages at the beach and some beauty treatments upstairs in the beauty salon, although there was not much to chose from and the beauty salon did not seem to be fully open yet. Activities are plentiful, walking, hiking etc...nearby, row boats and stand up boards at the beach, 2 outdoor pools, hiring of the electric boat, table tennis, playground, biking and tennis next to the hotel. You will not go hungry here, the breakfast buffet it great, cold and hot options, you can order lunch at the restaurant or a snack at the beach bar or wait for the daily cake & coffee plus savoury dishes every day from 4pm. The evening meal is also first class, salad buffet, a la cart, cheese buffet,... Fine foods accompanied by an extensive wine list. Staff is very nice and efficient, special thanks to our lovely waiter Florian who took care of us every evening. The hotel is pricy enough but offers a lot. My only complaint is the occasional unfriendly personnel. The bar person in the evening is definitely under stress, something that translates to the customers and one receptionist lady needs to remember that this is an expensive 4 star hotel, even if the teenagers repeatedly locked themselves out of their room. No issue at all that something is said to them but please not in such a tone, even if you are annoyed. Everyone else was just wonderful! Great stay.

“Large Hotel, on the Lake, perfect position”

The Karnerhof is a large, typical Austrian lake hotel. Well positioned with it's own beach area, indoor and outdoor pools. All the amenities you'd expect for a lake hotel and spa.

The Karnerhof is a large, typical Austrian lake hotel. Well positioned with it's own beach area, indoor and outdoor pools. All the amenities you'd expect for a lake hotel and spa. Reasonably sized room, with balcony and view over the lake. Very good food. Great breakfasts, and exceptionally good evening meals, all eaten on the terrace overlooking the lake when the weather is good. Our only criticism is that nowhere in the hotel. even in public areas is there any air conditioning. The rooms we're supplied with fans, so it was extremely hot in the summer.
