Hallstatt is one of the most beautiful places we have been to and I feel it has coped as well as it can due to the high interest with tourists. We have read comments about parking and baggage and I think people need to expect that it’s not a holiday destination, it’s a beauty spot in a very small town. We took small bags and the luggage was safe overnight in the car park. Work smarter not harder. We had one of the more traditional rooms which was cosy and had a great view of the lake and We had a kitchen which was handy. We had a log burner and could have done with more kindling than what was supplied. Heads up- A gentleman came to collect room tax, no issue but could have been done at check in. Hallstatt is worth seeing and is beautiful from the sky walk. My advice is to wake up early and see the town before the coaches of people arrive.

Pretty but poor communication.
The place seems cute in pictures. In addition to not being all that great a few things to know.. first, they email asking for arrival time and stating they will call you with the code, they never called us or called us back.. we just showed up. The breakfast option only has one option, no menu. Also the drain in our shower didn't drain fast enough to keep up with the shower, so we had to take multiple short showers, one for shampoo, conditioner, etc to let the drain catch up.

Dear guest, we thank you very much to give such detailed feedback which helps us to improve. Future guests please let us know about the slow drain the moment you experience it - we come right on the spot and repair. We only call guests who arrive outside the check in time. Therefore we arsk about the time. When guests arrive late night and wonder that a small town like Hallstatt is shut down at 10pm. We want to help people who are used to 24/7 cities to be aware of that. Sorry that this made you upset. We just try to take care. Hope you enjoyed the beautiful view and authentic atmosphere. :-)

Dear, we send all guests detailed information about parking in Hallstatt and the special situation in Hallstatt. To all guests: park in P1 which is for overnight guests were you pay for overnight and get a shuttle. If P1 is full - just wait. Take the next available entrance. To make it very clear: parking has nothing to do with the hotel. It is not in our sphere to do anything about parking in Hallstatt. and it is not fair to Feedback us about that!

The room has so much of the original building and was so well preserved. Beautiful view of the lake from the windows. The town closed early so the evenings and early morning were very peaceful. There was a nearby park that was also a wonderful place to sit and relax once the crowds were gone. Good dining options.

Our room was beautiful and lived up to the pictures. The apartment and jacuzzi were very clean and the beds were incredibly comfortable. The apartment also came with nice appliances such as a Dyson hair dryer and espresso machine. I would give 5 stars for the room itself and cleanliness. My only complaint is that there was an employee who kept showing up at our door to collect city tax of 6 euros. Not sure why this wasn’t brought up during check in, but his credit card processor was not working and he would not accept cash - so he kept appearing out of nowhere to try to collect our money. When we got back from dinner he was lurking on our steps and followed us up to our room at 9pm, and then appeared early in the morning. He also had access to our room through a hidden door (which he came in and out of a few times) in the bathroom which was a little startling. We had a little trouble sleeping knowing somebody had this type of access to our room. The employee was very nice, but for a “private suite” our experience did not feel very private. Overall, beautiful room and very nice employees / timely communication while planning our trip. We just would have appreciated some more privacy and communication when it came to showing up to our room.

Dear Sir,we think you did not realize were you have been. This is the reason why spo many people pay such an amount of money and this is the reason why not a lot people want to live in Hallstatt and not a lot want to work there. All has to be made by hand and body power. This is teh reason why the place is so special. I am so sorry that you werde not able to enjoy the beauty of this vers special place. Maybe it is better not to stay in the inner alps country side ;-)

Property was difficult to access. Called hotel to get help but was refused saying it would be an easy 8 min wall and with two luggages it was anything but. There was foul smell in the bathroom and drainage issues. The view is nice but not worth the price and other issues and there are far better hotels in Hallstatt at this price range in my opinion.

Es tut uns aufrichtig leid, dass ihr Aufenthalt schon mit so einer negativen Erfahrung begonnen hat. Unsere Gäste sind sich zumeist im Klaren darüber, dass Hallstatt ein Bergdorf ist und der atemberaubende Blick bedeutet, dass man Treppen steigen muss. Ja Authentizität ist nicht immer das, was Menschen aus der Stadt sich erträumen. Alles muss mit der Hand getragen werden. Das wissen unsere Mitarbeiter nur zu gut. Deshalb sind Preis und Leidtung angepasst. Ein persönlicher Abholservice vom Bahnhof kann gebucht werden. Muss bitte aber auch bezahlt sein. Ältere und gebrechliche Personen holen wir selbstverständlich ab. Jüngere Menschen bitten wir in der Tat, die paar Schritte selbst zu tun. Bitte an alle zukünftigen Gäste: bitte lassen Sie uns wissen, wenn Sie alt und gebrechlich sind. Wir helfen dann sehr gerne.

My husband and I stayed 2 nights around Christmastime in the Royal Suite (Walds). The room is very spacious and beautiful. However, the lake view is the most incredible part of the experienece! We spent quite a bit of time sitting on the bed staring out at the lake. We loved how quiet the property was. The private garden was also such a lovely, peaceful retreat away from the crowds, so don't miss visiting it, even in winter. The property representative - Sandra, I believe was her name - was so kind during our stay and made sure we were comfortable at all times. Tika was a friendly face at check-in and carried one of our bags up the stairs. As others have noted, if you stay in the Royal Suite, you will need to climb some steep stairs. Keep that in mind in terms of mobility issues as well as the amount of luggage you bring. We had no problem, but just a reminder! We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would absolutely recommend it. You can't beat the view!

We think it is and our guests aas well. If you are elderly, please get in touch with us ahead of your arrival so we can take care that a man is around who can help carrying the luggage.So we thank you dear and wish you a long and healthy life.

Great getaway and hideaway!
We loved our stay! Although it was just a 2 nights stay, i think it is sufficient. We have managed to explore around, visited the salt mine, ticked all 'must take picture" sites. It was a very laid back getaway and we loved our room. We had a jacuzzi at our balcony, so when it rained and we have no where to go, we will soak in the jacuzzi as it was sheltered. Very relaxing and cosy room. Everything was self sufficient, and very thoughtful to provide wifi speakers, smart tv and a little kitchen for us to cook simple food. Great view from the window too!

Awesome location with AMAZING view of the lake out your windows. Few things to note - stairs are very steep inside the property so if you have any mobility issues please be aware. Also we arrived around 7pm and there was almost no one to greet us. One of the caretakers thought the other one left us instructions on how to get key but they hadn’t. We would not have been able to get in otherwise.

I had the penthouse suite with the direct view of the lake. It is definitely worth the stay. The suite is very clean and remodeled like new in the bathroom area. You need to walk and climb up stairs to reach the property. If you have big luggage, it is better to get the Prime taxi to help. The property will provide breakfast if requested. You will have to go out to dine other than breakfast which I don't mind to dine 5 minutes walk next to the lake. The property manager is very nice and communicated well. Will consider to come back again with fewer luggage.

Book the Holz suite! We had such a magnificent view over the lake and woke up to a gorgeous sunrise that you really can't put a pricetag too. Sandra took care of all our needs & was super attentive, she accommodated our check-out requests and also gave us plenty of tips about the town. We communicated primarily over WhatsApp. I really appreciated all the personal touches! I also highly enjoyed the ridiculously high-quality bespoke speakers they installed in this cottage: we put on some classical piano and read our books well into the night, it was a whole vibe. Definitely strongly consider booking this property as it offers you a unique experience in this gorgeous town. It's well worth the price!

Romantic getaway
Hallstatt Hideaway is a beautiful boutique hotel perfectly located in Hallstatt. We stayed for two nights in the “green room” and the views were fantastic. The amenities are great with premium lotions (there’s even a dyson hair dryer!). The bed and duvet were super comfy. You will need to climb up a few steep flights of stairs to get to the rooms so something to keep in mind. There’s no parking near the hotel so you’ll need to park in P1 and take a shuttle or walk for about 15 minutes. We were lucky to get parking but the spots do fill up quickly. Overall, a beautiful place where’d I recommend staying for a romantic trip. However, for the price and hotel grade. there were a few things that were lacking or could have been improved upon with service. On a side note, the food in Hallstatt was pretty poor and pricey. Do not eat at the restaurant right by the hotel. All the food tasted like it came from the grocer’s freezer section.

Please note, that we are not responsable for the restaurants around. The Hallstatt Hideaway offers only breakfast and this is fresh and homemade. We suggest to book a table in advance at KOPPENRAST or STEEGWIRT - there all our guests are superhappy with the food and there we eat ourselves. Thank you for the nice feedback and helping other guests!

Hallstatt is amazing and the hideaway Salz penthouse has awesome views. Sandra was a wonderful receptionist and the staff is super friendly. We chose the suite because of the hot tub. Unfortunately, it wasn’t very clean and wasn’t working properly while we were there which is keeping me from giving a higher rating. All in all though I would stay there again.

Dear, we are thankful from the bottom of our hearts to read your warm and friendly feedback. For future guests: please let us anything like this problem know while you stay with us! So we are able to change the situation. In this case we would have been able to find out the problem and solve it. The water reacts with cloth and if guests use the whirlpool with cloth the water gets „dirty“ so we can explain to use it only naked and clean - no soap or foam in the delicate water. Please always talk with us while you stay with us and we help! In hintside it is a bit difficult ;-) ... dear we hope to welcome you soon with cristal clear pool :-) thank you :-)
