Lovely stay in Austrian Castle

Lovely stay in an Austrian castle. Lots of history explained to us by a host who is obviously passionate about the hotel and sharing it with the visitors.
All the staff were friendly and helpful; in particular the young man at breakfast.
It is a very quiet and peaceful location.

Pros: This hotel is in a castle and is simply gorgeous! The staff, Annette and Max, were gregarious and helpful. (We loved this place. It was our favorite during our Austrian excursion.)

Cons: It's about a ten minute drive to town or a 35-minute walk.

We loved our stay at Schloss Prielau Hotel. The staff made us feel like family & even upgraded us to the suite! The property is gorgeous & is only a 5 min walk from lake zell. The restaurant is incredible & it actually turned out to be the best food we ate for our entire trip. This hotel takes you back in time but it is very clean & maintained. We will be coming back one day!

Nothing Special

Beautiful building and grounds but felt somewhat soulless.
The room was disappointing for a superior room and cost.
I think we wrongly interpreted several of the room photos to be of a superior room which they are evidently not.
If you want a historic venue, fancy restaurant and prepared to pay a high price for a mediocre room go for it!

Friendly staff. The room was very well insulated and quiet, there was a wedding party that day, and we couldn’t hear anything from outside. The decor is more Protestant than Vatican opulent, which I prefer and feels more native to the region. I recommend getting dinner at Mayer’s but be prepared, it’s a 3 hour event.

A beautiful country retreat

The “Schloss” was run by a very professional team.
Thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay in an historic property situated in beautiful and peaceful countryside.

We did not have a car so it was necessary to book taxis as property several minutes walk from nearest town/restaurant.
One comment that I feel is relative - do try and ascertain your guests’ expectations and abilities.
Our room was on third floor (no lifts) due to age of property etc. one of us was 87 and we, because we can, walked up and down the quite steep
stairs 3-4 times a day . We were offered accommodation on lower level when we arrived!!
We looked upon it as “exercise”. !!

You are sure to enjoy this delightful property in an oasis of beautiful and peaceful countryside.
Needless to say we thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine.

Thank you (especially Mickey)....

Private, cozy getaway

My wife and I and our doggy stayed at the Fischerhaus for three nights. We loved the privacy and seclusion that the Fischerhaus (cabin/cottage) offers—a true getaway. Did I mention an entire lake to ourselves? Also, heated floors are my new favorite thing. Despite being separate from the main Schloss (castle), housekeeping took excellent care of our room without intruding on our privacy. Breakfast was delicious. The staff was friendly and courteous. Overall, the stay was fantastic for all three of us. Highly recommend staying at this property; especially at the Fischerhaus.

Amazing experience at the castle! The territory is beautiful, its not located far from the city center but is very quiet - just what we needed during our vacation.
The owner - Anette, went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The highlight of this was her driving me to the train station herself on the day when we could not find any taxis available.
I stayed in the room 32 which was one of the most beautiful rooms I ever got to stay in. The breakfast had everything we needed with fresh warm bread available every day. There is a sauna on premises which is great after active skiing. I'd definitely recommend Schloss Prielau!

We had the 2 bedroom suite for 1 night traveling through Bavaria. The property was beautiful with lots of charm. The beds were very comfy and the bathroom was very nice. Loved the decor of the hotel. Very short walk to the lake and pretty walk to the main area of Zell Am See where all the restaurants and shops are. The hotel was very quiet and peaceful. While it did not bother us, I'll warn you that there is no elevator in the hotel so bags will need to be carried up to upper floors. There is no one hanging out at the front desk past 5 or 6 pm, but they could be reached by phone if needed. We did not have any meals at the hotel, so can't comment on that. I'd definitely recommend this hotel for a peaceful stay in Zell Am See!

over the Gross Glockner and down to Heaven.

we were on a driving tour of Europe and selected this hotel from the photographs on their website and its location being situated between our departure that day, Venice, and our destination, Munich. What a piece of luck! what a fabulous place, with its own church and, the best bit, an amazing restaurant!! Ros and i loved it and the hosts could not be more welcoming. lovely people. we will try and return again some day.

Charming property but simple rooms

The property is charming and well-located. However, there is no elevator or air-conditioning. The room was small. The room description was misleading: \"Layout - Separate living room\" -- I believed there would be a bedroom and a separate living room, i.e. two rooms. But the living room was a common, shared space outside the hotel room.

Beautiful hotel.

Relaxing trip. The area is quiet which we loved. It can be a little inconvenient if you don't drive because it's located quite far away from Zell am See center. But it's also a paradise away from all the noise. There are deers in the backyard. Magnificent lake view. We also loved the steam room. Went there to relax every night after skiing/hiking. Breakfast is small and traditional. But it's all fresh. Room windows need to be repaired though. They looked fragile. We tried to open them but those creaking sounds were scary.

Great Schloss

We stayed just one night, the hotel is beautiful , stylish, a perfect blend of antique and modern, furnishings . A totally special weekend in luxury, probably the most comfortable you can be in a 16 century castle. The rooms felt warm and cozy despite being spacious, even though it was freezing outside. ln a lovely quiet and secluded location yet near enough to Zell am See. Fantastic room, with a great additional temporary bed for our 7 year old. Nespresso machine lovely touch. Staff were polite but welcoming and friendly. Loved the traditional Austrian furnishings and kachelofen!

A Highlight of Our Austria Trip

Hotel accommodation was excellent.
Schloss has unique historic/hunting lodge character. Rooms are very nicely decorated, each with a different theme. Schloss is located in charming country-like surroundings near lake with panoramic view of mountains.
Room was clean and bathroom was very modern.
We unfortunately were not able to make use of the spa or eat breakfast there due to our busy travel schedule. (Spa and breakfast looked great)
This accommodation was one of highlights of our trip to Austria.
We would definitely return to Schloss Prielau if we travel again to Austria.

Castle hotel owned by grandson of Ferdinand Porsche, hence a place to stay for anyone who loves Porsche (however only expect very, very subtle references to that fact.

Very relaxing

Beautiful old building and our standard room, while small, was lovely and very comfortable. It was quiet when we stayed in April and most of the time it felt like there was nobody there at all. Even the hotel staff were hard to come by, but once we were used to the isolation it actually enhanced the experience. The town is a drive or a half hour walk away (round the lakeside). Highly recommended.

Perfektes Geburtstagswochenende

Obwohl wir bereits am Vormittag angereist sind, wurden wir äußerst freundlich empfangen und durften bereits unser geräumiges Zimmer beziehen. Die Damen waren sehr kompetent bei der Empfehlung für die geplante Wanderung. Das Schloß ist sehr gepflegt mit einem hohen Wohlfühlfaktor. Das Personal ist kompetent, freundlich, interessiert und umsichtig. Zum Frühstück gibt es alles, was das Herz begehrt. Was nicht am Buffet vorhanden ist, wird in der Küche frisch zubereitet. Die Lage ist einfach herrlich ruhig, nur eine Gehminute vom See entfernt, eingebettet in einem sehr gepflegten Park. In wenigen Gehminuten hat man den Ort Zell am See erreicht.

Schönes Schloss, schwaches Service

An und für sich ein wunderschönes Schloss, das Mädchen an der Rezeption interessiert sich allerdings mehr für sein Handy als für den Gast. Da es keinen Lift gibt sind die Zimmer im 3. Stock keine gute Wahl. Zimmer sind schön. Der Privatstrand wirkt vernachlässigt und es gibt nur vier Liegen. Schade, auf der Homepage hatte alles einen perfekten Eindruck gemacht. Es gibt in der Gegend viele Hotels mit einem besseren Preis-Leistungsverhältnis.

Romantik Schlosshotel

Wir haben wunderbare Tage mit Schifahren, Spabesuch und Spazierengehen mit unserer kleinen Tochter in diesem kleinen, historischen Romantikschlösschen verbracht. Die Betreuung ist äußerst persönlich, zuvorkommend und auf allerhöchstem Niveau. Unser Abendessen in Mayer‘s ausgezeichnetem Gourmetrestaurant war nicht nur qualitativ dem Ruf entsprechend, sondern auch unsere 3-jährige Tochter wurde wie eine kleine Prinzessin behandelt wofür sich das liebenswürdige Team zumindest 4-Kindersterne verdiente und uns den Stress nahm und einen unvergesslichen Abend bescherte!

Schlösschen mit 2-Sterne-küche

Das Schloss Prielau ist mit Navi leicht auffindbar und liegt sehr ruhig.
Der Ort Zell am See ist per Fuss erreichbar.

Das Schlosszimmer war aus unserer Sicht sehr sauber und komfortabel.
Das Frühstücksbuffet war mehr als ausreichend; frische Brötchen, ausreichende Auswahl an Honig, Wurst und Käse usw.. Sonderwünsche wie Rühreier, Espressi wurden ebenso erfüllt.

Beim Hotel befindet sich das Restaurant \"Meyer's\", welches mit einer 2-Sterne-Küche ausgezeichnet ist.
Über die ausgezeichnete Qualität der Küche konnten wir uns selbst überzeugen und es war ein Erlebnis, sowohl von den Servicekräften und Speiseangebot.

Het hotel heeft geen lift en dat is wel jammer als je met koffers en al naar de derde verdieping moet.

Huippupaikka

Standard-huone olikin reilunkokoinen makuuhuone ja olohuone! Loistava palvelu, hyvä aamiainen, hyvä \"linnaravintola\". Erillisessä rakennuksessa aivan vieressä yksi Itävallan parhaista ravintoloista - rankattu parhaaksikin usein, 2 Michelin-tähteä, silti kohtuuhintainen. Unohtumattoman hyvä jouluaattoillallinen! Hissin puutekaan ei haitannut tässä miltei 600 vuotta vanhassa linnassa, vaikka asuttiin ylimmässä kerroksessa (henkilökunta kantoi matkalaukut huoneeseen!). Joustavaa, ystävällistä, luksusluokan palvelua ja upea tunnelma! Mitä suurimmassa määrin suositeltava kokonaisuudessaan!
