First the pros: fantastic renovated hotel on a stunning perch above Mittersill and not far from Kitzbühel without all the hoi palloi. Superb Austrian food and warm, friendly service. Gorgeous spa with outdoor pool, Finish sauna and a good bit of history dating back to the 12th century, including a witches cellar.
Cons: Rooms were a bit uneven. Some were well heated, others in the group had no heating at all. Management made no real effort to accommodate those in unheated rooms other than a cheap electric heater; excusing the matter with a curt "handyman is not here today." Also didn't like that waiters showed up immediately after dinner with schnapps, etc. and, unlike many fine restaurants in the region, added the inflated-priced drinks and extras to the bill without any disclosure. The take-away here is that one must assume anything set in front of you will cost extra, so ask. Not very classy, especially at the price point of this place. read more
