    You should reconsider if you want the latest of hotel comfort or if you don't fancy a stiff climb from the village centre

    This is the place to go if you like your hotel to be human-sized, authentic, super friendly, quiet, close to nature

    The breakfast is served, but it’s always the same. No shower gel in the rooms is provided so you need to have your own stuff.

    Convenient location, suitable for skiing. You can leave all your ski staff in the hotel, the lifts are reachable on feet. The hosts are so nice and friendly, you will definitely feel comfortable in the hotel and can always ask for help or any recommendations. The design is very authentic, the rooms are warm. The noises are good isolated. The guest room is especially cozy 😍

    As an American I’m used to having some extra towels and blankets available in the room… Not just at Hotel Echo, but in many places in Germany/Austria I still get surprised that towels are such a luxury item, that there is often only one… (and I will remember to bring washcloths on my next trip to Europe, lol)

    My mom and I felt very welcome - at breakfast, or even at the end of the day when we enjoyed a little nightcap in the common room. It’s cozy and warm, beautiful views - and we loved the sound of the waterfall behind the house. It’s easy to walk into town or to the Felsentherme…

    This review has to start with the owner Henrikka who deserves at least 6 stars. She has lots of suggestions for great walks, places to visit and the best food in town. Nothing was too much trouble and she helped to send taxi details when we got caught in a storm whilst hiking. Thanks Henrikka for making us feel so at home. Breakfast was gorgeous; breads, cheeses, salad, butter, jam, cold meats and fruit. The hotel itself is old and full of character and kept sparkling clean, it’s really cosy. We booked two nights but extended to four. Cannot recommend Hotel Echo enough!

    Although the room was very clean it wasn’t too modern. The furniture need renovation.

    The hotel is next to the Alpe-Adria radweg and this was important for us. We could park our bikes. The staff was very kind and helpful! The room was clean and big enough for two people. The breakfast was very good as well.

    Whilst the hotel looks like it has gotten serious renovation in the past years, there is still work to be done, especially on the floors.

    The hotel is located right next to a waterfall which makes it a unique experience. The owner is really friendly and very helpful with advice regarding things to do in the area. The room was very clean, and it was cleaned on a daily basis. The breakfast was nice as well.

    Photos presented the area as much bigger. I thought the common area is part of a larger apartment. In my experience, a bit more pricey than expected.

    Very close to the train station, lovely staff, so tidy and I loved the miniature antique items in the hotel room. Gave it a very 70s vibe :) It was so close to the waterfalls which is amazing. Superb eating places and right next to the night life district.. a 5 minute walk away from the best part of town!
