My wife and I visited Sankt Johann in Tirol for the last week of June. We stayed at Hotel Fischer and it was a very good choice. Our room, 406, was on the top floor (4) and was large, with a very comfortable bed. Plenty of storage, seating, a table and large bathroom. The shower was prone to splashing water everywhere but we figured out a method. Absolutely cracking view of the square and the beautiful church. TBH, the church bells are quite loud and frequent, but you get used to them. Well, I did! All the staff are very friendly and keen to make your stay a good one. They aim for repeat business and from what we could gather, many of our fellow guests had visited previously so Hotel Fischer has found the right formula. Breakfast was really good, with lots of choice from traditional continental cold meats and cheeses, lots of bread options, fruit, yoghurt, scrambled and boiled eggs, bacon, sausage, etc. They also offer daily special extras such as smoked salmon and avocado on toast at no cost. Proper coffee, too. All good. There is a lively bar called Michi’s that was very popular. Good atmosphere. There is also a steam room/sauna area but we didn’t venture down there during our stay. In terms of the town itself, there are lots of restaurants, cafes and bars, all serving great Austrian beer (check out Das Bier von Hier - the locally brewed Huber) and of course wine. They produce great food from many cuisines. Something for everyone. The town is well placed to visit other parts of the Tirol by train and bus. Salzburg, Innsbruck, Zell am Zee and Kitzbühel are all within reach, as is Munich at a push. The Sankt Johann Guest Card gives free travel on local buses and trains so getting around is cheap and easy. There are also other perks like swimming pool access, a free cable car ride and more. The town also puts on lots of events during the year. All great fun. All in all, it’s a 10/10 for hotel and resort.
