The hotel is situated perfectly for walking into the small town of Alpbach or for setting off on one of the many possible mountain hikes in the area.
Facilities: stainless steel lined indoor/outdoor heated swimming pool with bar service. Plenty of towels available.
We paid the half-board rate to get breakfast and dinner included. We are vegetarian and I was pleased to see a full five-course vegetarian dinner each day. The courses are smaller than one often finds in similar places (as they state on the menu) with the option of having seconds. I thought this was excellent. The menu was very varied, and I thought the vegetarian dishes were very imaginative.
Parking is available in a small underground garage (free) with spaces that are 'cozy' but workable.
Our second floor room was comfortable and quite large with a balcony that overlooked the pool. The bathroom was small but very clean with a tub/shower combo.
Nice touches: chocolates in the room on arrival, robes for walking to and from the pool area, a backpack and umbrella to use for outings, a stocked refrigerator in the room (reasonable prices), a daily news letter delivered at breakfast each day with suggestions for outings, the weather, events, and so on. One surprise was that the hotel has a library - an excellent place to sit quietly and read. The bar just inside from the pool was also a quiet area and had a few board games.
Staff: I found the staff to be excellent. They all speak German and English.
