Find the Cheap Maishofen Hotels

Visited the hotel with girlfriends on a long weekend ski break. The hotel is wonderfully situated with lake views at every window. We had a twin room, with a separate shower and toilet. There was a lot of additional furniture in the room, including a desk and chair. We did a bit of furniture removal with the help of housekeeping and made the room perfect for two of us sharing. Towels and sheets where changed on the 3rd day. Buffet breakfast with hot and cold options set us up for the days skiing. A free shuttle to the closest lift (it’s not far but all uphill so don’t try it in ski boots) went every 30 mins in the morning. Dinner options are chosen in the morning, with 3 courses and a salad bar. On Sunday night there was a buffet style dinner, with lots of variety. They don’t offer a post ski hot drink or cake as some hotels do. There was soup on offer. However there is a well stocked tea/coffee station in the room and lots of places to buy snacks from as you come back to the hotel. The spa and fitness area was in the basement but again overlooking the glorious lake vista. Swimsuits are optional in the steam/sauna so may not suit us reserved Brits! The ski area is fantastic and we where blessed with fresh snow each day and all 3 ski areas can be accessed from the shuttle bus drop off.

We ski in Austria every year with family, always at a 5 Star Hotel. This is by far the WORST family ski hotel in Austria. It’s ridiculous that it has been allowed to keep its rating. No help with bags on checkin. We had to drag them from the street ourselves. Our flight was late, we arrived at 9pm and were told there was no food available at the hotel. No room service menu. No chance of the kitchen making our hungry child a sandwich. At 9pm. We were confused as we could see that the restaurant was still sending out plates of food to guests sitting at the tables. We asked why we couldn’t sit down and maybe have some cheese and fruit (we had paid for dinner for the whole family that night). They refused to let us. Our daughter was upset but they wouldn’t even give her a piece of bread. Come here if you feel like begging for scraps like Oliver Twist on your first night! The hotel is quite far from the lifts. It says it provides a ski lift shuttle bus until 5pm. We waited for half an hour at the ski lifts but the bus didn’t come. We rang the hotel reception and they said it would be 15mins. We ended up walking and the bus was parked outside the hotel. Empty. No sign of a driver. My husband politely asked at reception why the bus hadn’t come for us. Their answer? “We bend over backwards for our guests. He’s on his way.” He pointed out that we were already returned so it wasn’t much help. Blank face. Turned to another guest. So come ski here! It’s fabulously awful. The Tyrolerhof next door looks great btw. I have attached two pictures, one of us trudging home and one of the bus waiting at reception while they bend over backwards to ignore us.
