3-Star Hotels in Upper Austria, Austria

The hotel was clean and offered great value for money. While the breakfast selection was a bit limited, it's a good place to stay if you're visiting Hallstatt, and it's also very convenient for exploring the lake district. We actually had a lot of trouble figuring out transportation to Hallstatt initially, going out of our way unnecessarily. Turns out, there's a train station just about 500 meters from the hotel, which offers easy access to many places. This station also doubles as a bus stop. You can take the 542, then transfer to the 543 or 541/544 to reach Hallstatt or Gosau. The train and bus schedules are seamlessly connected, making it super convenient. We wish we had known this earlier, as the transportation issues caused us a lot of stress. I'd suggest the hotel create a Chinese transportation guide to help future guests avoid similar travel difficulties.

This hotel is located in Gosau, Austria. You can reach the hotel directly by taking bus 150 from Salzburg, then transferring to buses 541 and 542. Gosau is about a 30-minute drive from Lake Hallstatt. The hotel itself is a large wooden lodge, with the reception and restaurant conveniently located next to each other. The room was a good size and had a balcony. The sink and shower are separate from the toilet, which is a nice touch. I highly recommend booking a west-facing room, as it offers breathtaking views of the distant snow-capped mountains. We opted for both breakfast and dinner; breakfast was a bit basic, but dinner was decent. Overall, it offers good value for money.

The room was quite ordinary and simple, without anything particularly special or luxurious. However, it was clean and generally well maintained, which made the stay comfortable enough. The bed was fine, and the basic amenities provided were sufficient for our needs. Housekeeping did a decent job, and overall cleanliness was acceptable throughout the stay. While the room design and facilities were fairly basic, it served its purpose well, especially for resting after a long day outside. Overall, it was a reasonably comfortable stay. Nothing impressive, but nothing to complain about either. The cleanliness was the main positive point, and the room met our expectations for a standard stay.

Visibly clean, but dirty if you looked close (moldy shower). In the standard double that I stayed in, you will get two (only 2) outlets in your room and neither will be near the bed. You will have one trashcan in the bathroom that is smaller than a gallon/two liters. Other than that, not horrible. The restaurant is very expensive if you’re traveling on a budget (€40 Weiner schnitzel, so I would recommend finding something else to eat. If you plan on having more than a coffee for breakfast, definitely get a breakfast plan st the hotel. It is about €12 a morning and a cappuccino will run you about €8 euros in the resturant. A breakfast plan gets you whatever you want in the resturant in the morning for free!  If you’re planning on exploring the area, you’ll definitely want a car or bike, do NOT rely on public transit or you will end up paying a lot for taxis. You also cannot rely on uber because you’re too far away from Salzburg.

Disappointing stay at this hotel. 1. Thermostat not working within the room were the ambient temperature I guess was around 25 degrees. As front desk to resolve and was advised that none of the thermostats within the hotel worked as it was centrally heated. Advise was to open the window...obviously the front desk rep would not have slept in this room with the window open to the traffic noise. 2. Paid room tax by cash upon arrival and requested receipt for expenses and was advised i would receive this at checkout. So at checkout I was then advised the hotel had emailed the receipt to me and as you can guess I never received. Front desk then advised it was being resent and likewise never received. To the manager...I will ensure a return visit to your hotel in the coming weeks and expect you to refund my 4.50 Euros!

It's a little far from Linz station, but it's convenient to move around because there is a bus stop in front of you. There is also a SPAR nearby, so I think it would be nice to have daily necessities there. I think breakfast can be slow because there are not many people and people when I go early.

I really love this accommodation. The room is filled with heater! On the floor, the tiles, even on the bed. Best part is the balcony view is gorgeous. I’d come back to stay again if I have the chance to. front desk lady is nice too! Knowing that I’m solo traveler pulling a big luggage, she was very helpful in helping me to bring it all the way up to level 2 via stairs. There is a bus stop just 150m away so you can just drop it off there from Salzburg or Hallstatt. Was so lucky to see a beautiful sunrise. Instantly brightens my morning. :)

We were very satisfied with the cleanliness of the hotel and its convenient location close to the motorway on our route towards Slovenia. Parking was easy, and the self-check-in via the automated machine was quick and trouble-free. Everything was exactly as expected, making it a very good choice for an overnight stop during a long journey.

Good: The location is excellent, right in front of the main square. Bus lines 1, 2, 3, and 4 are all within 100 meters, making it very convenient for getting around. There are many dining options downstairs, including a Sichuan restaurant across the alley which was decent but the portions were small. Okay: This is a hotel in an old European-style building. There's no air conditioning, so it can get quite hot and stuffy with the windows closed. It probably depends on the weather; we didn't really need AC during our stay. We only received one bottle of water on check-in for a three-day stay, and it wasn't replenished afterward (though free water was available in the lobby). Breakfast was very basic, with no hot dishes except for a boiled egg. Just a side note, the European economy might be struggling. When paying the city tax at the end, they even asked for a tip, which I found a bit off-putting, so I didn't give one. It probably meets a 3-star standard.

Very enjoyable stay. Easy check in. Plenty of parking and host is extremely kind and hospitable. Property is close to supermarket and bakery which is not open on Sunday. Reminder the ferry into Hallstatt from Obertraun doesnt run in winter. Clean and amazing canopy shower head. Very good stay.
