About Hotel Sonnschein

Our 4-star hotel is located in the heart of the Kitzbühel Alps, just 400 meters from the main gondola in Niederau. During winter, enjoy skiing, snowboarding, cross-country skiing, or walking in this winter wonderland. Cross-country and walking trails are right outside the hotel.

Our facilities include a heated indoor pool, sauna, aroma steam bath, freshwater whirlpools, and an infrared cabin. For children, there's a game room, playroom, table tennis, and evening movies during winter. Summer activities include tennis, mini golf, outdoor table tennis, and giant garden chess within our two acres of parkland.

After a day in the exhilarating mountain air, our chefs prepare a delicious 4-course dinner with three main course choices and a fresh salad bar, followed by tempting desserts. Spend your evenings in the hotel bar, on our sun terrace, or by the open log fire, depending on the season.

Memorable evening entertainment includes Tyrolean evenings, horse-drawn buggy rides, slow train trips to Zauberwinkl (magical corner) for panoramic views and local schnapps, and performances by a local brass band on our terrace.

Very cosy and comfortable hotel

Excellent staff, food good and room great, one small gripe is that a 142 room hotel is closed at 10.00pm so when I arrived at 2.00am due to a late flight I could not get in till 7.00am

Large rooms, great breakfast, easy for skiers!

Overall, our experience was positive, but there are some odd things about this hotel. The staff is not particularly friendly when you decide to eat dinner there if you haven’t purchased the “half board” option at check-in. If you enjoy beverages at the bar, you cannot charge them to your room, so bring cash. Our door handle broke on our first evening there, and I was told it couldn’t be fixed until the next day. When I expressed my concern about security, I was told that I “shouldn’t worry that someone is going to break in...” My husband fixed the doorknob himself so we wouldn’t have to wait. Outside restaurants were friendlier and livelier. We purchased the breakfast package with our room, and it was well worth it. It is easy to get to ski rentals and to the slops and busses. The views are wonderful, and the village is charming. Storage for skis and boots is helpful; however, people seem to move each other’s things, so label your belongings.

1 Woche Skiurlaub

Positiv: Grosses Zimmer, Lage, Personal sehr zuvorkommend, viele Möglichkeiten auch ausserhalb des Zimmers eine gute Zeit zu verbringen, es wurde immer versucht auf unsere Bedürfnisse einzugehen, Frühstück vielseitig grosse Auswahl, Skikeller mit Heizung für die Skischuhe,

Negativ: ein Saunabereich Duschen defekt, es wird nicht auf die Einhaltung der Saunaregeln geachtet, aufgebackene Brötchen zum Frühstück, im Skikeller hatte sich im ganzen Raum, auch an den Sitzflächen in Skiverein rücksichtslos ausgebreitet.

Im grossen und ganzen hatten wir eine schöne Woche. Vielen Dank dafür.

Nice hotel in wonderful surroundings

Very nice hotel, perfect for the family. The kids especially enjoyed relaxing by the pool (either indoor or outdoor) after a day walking in the lovely Alps.
The dinners are typical Austrian (three course, soup, main and dessert) and might not suite everyone (been in Austria a lot myself though and find the arrangements very practical).

Nicht dort geschlafen und doch zufrieden

Leider konnten wir unseren Aufenthalt nicht richtig genießen, da es bei der Buchung, irgendwo zwischen drin einen Fehler gab. So hatten wir nicht 3 Einzelzimmer zur Verfügung, sondern ein großes Zimmer mit 3 Betten. Wir konnten dies aber vor Ort kostenlos stornieren, da das Hotel an diesem Tag voll belegt war und es somit keine andere Möglichkeit für uns gab. Vielen Dank an Emily und an den Chef des Hauses.

Wildschönau er et besøg værd - utrolig smuk natur

Flotte værelser, lækker pool men minder desværre om et plejehjem. Rigtig mange ældre gæster. Stor restaurant men dårlig betjening. Morgenmaden kan springes over, gammelt brød. Området i Wildschönau er helt fantastisk.
