Some doubles etc. We had a double with our own toilet, shower & balcony. It was picturesque. Red gingham curtains, cow paintings etc. You have to take a snow machine to get up to this place & if you miss the occasional times that it goes back down to the town you have to toboggan - awesome! The breakfast & evening meal were included in our nightly rate & the price was ridiculously good! The ribs were outstanding. There's an outdoor hot tub which thr owners will gladly fire up for you in the snow. Staying here felt like a fairy tale. I can't wait to go back!

Talk about an authentic Austrian experience! I stay in Saalbach every winter with my boyfriend's…read morefamily where they have a cabin. They were so excited to take me to Spielberghaus because the journey to and from the restaurant is so much a part of their favorite family traditions. First of all, no cars are allowed to drive up the snowy path that leads to the cabin. You have the option of taking a large snowmobile or a "pistenraupe" all the way to the cabin for a few euro. We decided to walk up the path because it was such a beautiful night. The 45 minute walk was definitely a challenge as it is all uphill, but you cannot beat the views and scenery of this special place, it's truly magical. At the top of the hill, you feel like you're discovering a special hideaway with the warm lights glowing onto the white snowy banks outside. Indoors is perfectly decorated as you would imagine an Austrian hut in the Alps to be, complete with floor to ceiling wood beams, and local music playing in the background. Our meal of goulash, schnitzel, apfenstrudel, and beers was definitely well deserved after our walk. Service was top notch and so hospitible, it felt like we were in someone's home. My favorite part of the experience was the way home. Sleds are available to rent for you to take down the path you just climbed up! Believe me, there is nothing like a sled ride that lasts 15 minutes down the most picturesque snowy setting you can imagine. Truly a memory that I will not forget that I cannot wait to repeat already. Go and enjoy yourself!

Stayed one night and had dinner in the restaurant…read more The rooms themselves are quite spacious, which was nice. We had two windows which had a nice view of the area and brought in a nice breeze, which was essential as the air conditioning was nonexistent. Bathroom also pretty large. Check-in was easy enough and they had ample parking. It's a little bit out of the way and certainly not walkable to town, but that's what we expected for a rifugio. For convenience, we ate dinner in the restaurant, which was actually more crowded than I was expecting. The dishes were good, nothing really so memorable but hit the spot. We got: fried artichokes (nice sauce, great presentation), tagliatelle with mushrooms (I quite enjoyed the butteriness of the pasta and the chunks of a mushroom I don't typically eat), beet ravioli (interesting texture, enjoyed the brown butter sauce), and the ossobuco (tender, sizable portion of meat, enjoyed the polenta). We asked for recommendations for dessert and went with the kaiserschmarren-not a dish I've had before and I didn't quite care for it and found it to be a bit bland but maybe that's what it is supposed to be. One thing I didn't quite understand about the hotel is that the lights for each floor seem to turn off immediately so when you enter a new floor you have to turn them on each time. This wasn't such a big deal but for example when I was carrying drinks upstairs, it became a bit difficult to see where I was going. Service was super pleasant, helpful, made for an easy stay.

The whole building is made from wood, both inside and out and it has real character. The don't have menus and don't serve a huge selection of food but everything that they do serve is amazing. Particularly worth mentioning are the Ribs and fries (which must have MSG on them as they are amazing) and the cracking range of pastas they do, most notably the Putanesca with olives, garlic and anchovies. The service is good if a little slow when ordering and paying but it is worth waiting for for what is on offer. For the wine snobs there is even a little wine tasting hut outside which has a good selection of drinks. Try the Prosecco here as it's really good. Oh yeah and the terrace outside is amazing on a sunny day as they tend to play chilled out café music and you can just loose yourself in a drink and the view.

The atmosphere is very picturesque: there are just a few tables and upon arrival you are prompt greated by the personnel wearing the local costume. The menu changes on a daily basis but everything is fresh made from scratch in respect of the local culinary tradition. I had an awesome pasta but what really impressed me was their dessert.
