We stayed at the Edelweiss in May 2004 for 11 nights. Our first trip to Austria.
Klaus & Veronique and their family who own/run this hotel are excellent hosts making you feel very welcome and take a great interest in your holiday. We loved the way they dress in the traditional dress to serve dinner.
We paid a supplement for a room with balcony and we were not disappointed. The room was huge, in fact it was a family room so plenty of room for the 2 of us. There was a large bathroom with bath and shower but the shower was only half way up the wall so you couln't stand up in it!
The food was excellent too, buffet breakfasts which always included some hot food like bacon and scrambled eggs. You could also make up a packed lunch with the rolls, meats and cheeses, fruit and some wonderful Austrian wafer biscuits. Cartons of juice were provided also.
Tea and cakes were served 3 times a week. The evening meals were superb, always a choice, delicious salad bars and I have never tasted broccoli, cauliflower and green beans so good in a sald. The chef has been with the family for over 10 years so that speaks for itself. If "Spatzle" is on the menu, try it. It is Austrian pasta with pan fried onions.
The hotel has a cozy lounge area, beautifully furnished where you can mix with other guests. We met some really nice people on this holiday. As we were there the start of the season, Kitzbuhel was a little deserted at night so we just stayed in the hotel most nights. I got a real taste for Weiss beer (wheat beer) from the bar! The hotel also has its own wine cellar and Klaus hosts tours for a wine tasting evening.
The hotel is situated less than 5 minutes walk from the centre in a nice quiet area. The railway line runs right next to the hotel and trains so run through the day and night but it never bothered us one bit.
Would thoroughly recommend the Edelweiss. We had a fabulous holiday, made new friends, and we have lots of wonderful memories read more
