This review is for overnight stay, not the restaurant. Good location, but disappointing. Felt more…read morelike a hostel than a hotel.
We stayed in October, but the amount of tourists flooding this tiny waterfront town was astounding. I can't imagine what it's like in summer. Thus most hotel prices in town were still extremely high ($300 a night??), and this was the only affordable one advertising through Priceline.
A free shuttle drove us from the P1 parking lot. The hotel owner was not pleased with our presumably late arrival at 8 or 9pm. Our room was on the third floor (no elevator). The bathrooms/showers were shared. In our room was a sink and a heater, which we made use of. There was an electronic tea kettle available outside the room, although no cups in sight. There was also a communal microwave and mini- fridge. No utensils or plates, though... Since the sleepy town didn't come alive until 9am or so on a weekday, our frantic morning search for coffee ended in a fancy hotel nearby.
Tips for staying here:
1. Bring cash - no cards accepted.
2. Bring your own cups and utensils if you plan to make your own hot beverage or eat leftovers.
If I visit Hallstatt again, I plan to stay in Obertraun, closer to the ice caves. The hotels there are less expensive and not very far from Hallstatt.
