    The limited hours of the cable car and the guest's need to pay for it should be included in the fees.

    Location, staff, food, and the view. The hotel is excellent, and all the staff was terrific.

    We weren’t aware of the cable car schedule in advance of our stay which would have been helpful for planning our trip from the US to Krippenstein. Luckily we made the last cable car by 10 mins, but had we not made it, we would have been out of luck. Also, the beds were somewhat uncomfortable for us but that’s a personal preference and is subjective.

    The location is just absolutely insane and the staff is extremely helpful.

    No concerns at all with the property. Our only issue was that it was a bit challenging getting to the cable car - we walked quite a ways and had trouble getting a taxi, but it was a holiday. We also did not realize that there was a bus to get there from Obertraun. We also booked our return train too early as we did not realize when the cable car started in the morning, how long it would take to get down and then the additional walk/taxi/bus to the train station - bad planning on our part.

    The location was amazing with the most incredible views of Hallstatt, the Alps and the glacier. Staff was extremely helpful and friendly, providing ice packs for our daughter who hurt her foot earlier in our trip. Breakfast was very good. Meeting the friendly roaming sheep was a bonus. The cable car ride up was also beautiful. It can get a bit crowded during busy times, but on the way down the next morning, we almost had the whole car to ourselves.

    The upstairs dorm got a bit stuffy and warm in the mornings. Just wake up early and go experience the outdoors! You won’t like if you: miss the sunrise, miss the sunset, don’t go out and explore! So make sure you do all of those things!

    I loved the location! Up in the mountains, away from the cities and people! The fact that you had to take the cable car to get up to the peak/hotel was both a pro, and a con. However, overall, it was overwhelmingly pro because there was no crowds or clutter for relaxing and breathtaking events such as sunrise and sunset. If the cable car ran earlier/later, or the peak was more easily accessible, the slots to view these amazingly beautiful things would have been crowded with people. The owners of the lodge were incredibly friendly and helpful. I loved sitting and chatting with them about the mountain, the village, about life, and food.

    If you have lots of luggage to.carry, it would be definitely hard to reach the lodge after you arrive at the station. But it is worth visiting!

    Perfect view! Beyond the description! Don't miss watching the countless stars at night!

    No complaints....

    It is just phantastic to stay up on the mountain in a kind of different world. The location is great as long as the wheather is cooperating. There are different kinds of comfort. Even for my stay in the dormitory I could find soap and shampoo. The restaurant was very good and we liked also the breakfast. If you like to see beautiful sunsets and sunrises you do not need to go far from the lodge.

    Given the lodge is well connected with the cable car, the food options are rather limited. Breakfast options are limited. Menu could be enhanced.

    The location is nice, allows one to visit attractions after the cable car hours. The owners and kitchen staff were friendly.
