nothing from my memory

This is the most beautiful and amazing hotel I’ve ever stayed this time with my trip to Europe (Prague, Munich and Austria). “Suite with Balcony” room which has an amazing view you can see from your bed (yes! From the moment you wake up!). Breakfast is soooo good (heaps of choices and they all taste good) and dinner provided is nice as well. You’ll never feel starving because the food provided are good in quality and quantity. The reading spaces are fab! Originally was thinking about going to visit Hallstatt but then everything at the hotel is more attractive to me. This is a place I’ll recommend for all of my friend.

I realised on day 2 that rooms are not services, i.e. beds not made, dirty towels not replaced - that's a minus in my opinion.

Facilities are top quality, the idea with the books is great, the availability of beverages at all times, and the trust-concept, the place is really a retreat where you can relax.

Insufficient information about the actual cost of food. When choosing accommodation, the hotel withholds information that may play a role in your choice of accommodation. The management does not see it that way, but in fact it is unfair competition.

A fantastic view that will completely disarm you. Absolute peace and quiet, a great place to relax. Thanks to the high altitude, you can avoid air conditioning in hot weather. It's just colder up here.

While we found the concept of guests having access to thousands of books (pretty much like staying in a fusion bookstore/hotel) and beautiful facilities to read, we could not find a single book in English. All books are in German and the explanation we were given is that the hotel is trying to promote Austrian culture and local writers which is a great sentiment but when majority of the guests were foreigners, judging by the cars in the parking, not offering English literature just feels like a missed opportunity. We would have preferred to have a kettle for tea/coffee making in the room and there were no cups either to drink water. Our digital room key didn't work at night but this was resolved promptly by the very helpful housekeeper lady who lives on site.

A very unique experience. The hotel is located about 20 minutes drive from Bad Ischl, high up in the mountains. The roads are very good and safe to drive on. Upon arrival the manager of the hotel welcomed us and showed us around. Guests are recommended to remove their shoes and walk either bare foot or wear indoor shoes. The hotel specialises in providing a calm and peaceful environment for relaxing and reading. The communal areas are designed and decorated to take full advantage of the amazing view of nature around the hotel. Huge floor to ceiling windows and balconies let in tons of natural light. We were told there are over 1200 books on site (scattered around the communal space but also in the rooms) and guests are encouraged to explore different writers/genres. There is a large open plan kitchen, coffee/tea making facilities, wine fridges all of which are available for guests in a self-service manner. Items consumed can be added to the room bill and paid at checkout or paid by card on the spot. The room was extremely clean and very tastefully decorated. The bed was huge and comfortable. Lots of books all over the surfaces and our windows were overlooking the forest behind the hotel. The hotel is pet friendly and there were guests with dogs staying which was nice.

We had a reading and hiking weekend, which was the perfect combination. I can recommend the hotel to everyone who adores books. The silent and alpine environment was just perfect to relax.

The transparent shower is located as part of the main room space so there's no privacy.

Amazing views, the entire hotel is tastefully renovated, relaxing atmosphere, friendly staff, good food.

I had to leave. I didn't get time to talk to the owner longer and I never managed to take any of the walks around the mountain. I fell asleep before I could see the night sky properly.

This is a special hotel. It has views to die for, a load back and nordic style interior design, lots of books. A place for the mind and the soul, with a great wine fridge. This place had better views than Wengen in Switzerland.

There was nothing to spoil our vacation.

Location of the hotel is really nice. Beautiful view of the mountains, quiet surroundings and modern design of the hotel means a perfect conditions for relaxation. - The breakfast was also very good. - There are many places at the hotel for reading books or just resting. - Next to the hotel are possibilities where you can go hiking. - The hotel staff was friendly and very helpful.

Bathroom in same room as bed. We had to wait 30mins for breakfast - we were told they begin at 8am, but nothing was ready at that time. Dinner was not worth it.

Location and the view!

Food served for dinner and breakfast needs an improvement. Dinner was highly overpriced for what it is (for example fried noodles in the chili oil sauce with few pieces of vegetable) - it is better to eat somewhere else. We paid almost 70€ for 2pax and left disappointment - the other day we paid 80€ in Salzburg city center and had thousand times better experience, both in terms of food and service. During dinner light went off twice as there seems to be some sensors and staff needed to switch it back - okey for corridor, toilet, a bit weird in the main dining room during dinner time. Breakfast was super basic - for this price for the single night I would expect higher standard and bigger choice. There was basic cheese and ham store bought - we found the foil in the ham so we know for sure. It is a pity there are no local products served. Veggies served at breakfast looked like cut the day before as they were dried. It feels like hotel invested in building but is saving on everything that is possible to save on. There is no coffee machine or kettle in the room to make yourself tea. What is more, there was not even a glass in the room when we arrived - needed to ask for it. For 270€ for night I would expect at least a bottle of water… Check in was a bit painful since we made last moment booking and hotel struggled to find our reservation. Staff serving during dinner was very friendly but super slow - we waited long for the food that was just warmed up rather than freshly made. I understand it is hotel for relaxing and not hurrying up but there are limits. The room is not suited for longer stay as it has very limited place for hanging clothes. The bed is too soft for my taste.

The view in the mountain view room is truly beautiful as it overlooks Dachstein. Room is spacious and clean.
