Most wonderful experience a family with kids can experience. Its a hotel where children will be able to do great activities with the monitors and parents are also able to participate. The entire premises are like Disneyland for those who love outdoor activities and there is plenty of support for parents with children from all ages especially those that have newly born. The restaurant is another wonderful place to enjoy a great meal with your loved ones. The food is tasty and made to match the desires of all generations that spend their vacation in Appelhof. I highly recommend for all the parents that want to provide an unforgettable vacation and Im sure many will leave the hotel making next year’s holiday reservations.

We stayed at the Appelhof for 3 days in May 2022 with 4 small children (4,5,6,9). The complex is huge and I was very relieved that we were staying in the main building. The food was really good, plentiful and at children's level. The tables were also cleared very quickly and the staff was overall friendly. The complex itself is not perfect - here and there it needs to be renovated again, but everything is within reason and for 4 stars in order. What bothered us was that there is no room on the complex where washing machines and dryers can be used (as is quite common in other children's hotels). We were there on a rainy weekend and urgently needed to wash socks and trousers - but unfortunately you can only use the washing service for 16 euros. There is also a bobby car "race track" in the main building, which is great for children - but I would simply put the cars away at 8 p.m., since children still slide at night (and it's very loud on tiles). Or: I would buy whisper tires. Apart from that, it was a dream for the children - there is so much to discover. The petting zoo, which is open twice a day for an hour under the supervision of an animal care group, is also great. On the one hand, the children have the opportunity to pet animals on their laps - on the other hand, the animals have the rest of the day in peace. It's also great that the children were entertained and happy all day - and all without any screens.

Wir haben ein paar schöne Tage am Appelhof verbracht. Für die Kinder ist es hier ein Traum und es fehlt an nichts. Das Buffet bietet reichhaltige Speisen an und ist nicht zu stark gewürzt, so konnte auch unser Baby gut mit essen. Eigentlich würden wir gerne wieder kommen, wenn da nicht ein paar sehr wesentliche Mankos wären: - Sauberkeit: In unserem Zimmer entdecken wir am 2. Tag Kot oder ähnliches am Abflussrohr im Badezimmer, grüne Zahnpastaflecken blieben ebenso die ganze Woche im Bad (nicht von uns) und der Waschtisch war noch von den vorigen Gästen mit Seife voll (haben wir dann geputzt weil alles glitschig war!) zumindest wurde der Kot gleich weg geputzt nachdem wir die Rezeption darüber informiert haben und auch die kaputten Glühbirnen wurden rasch gewechselt. Dennoch ekelt es mich etwas und ich will nicht wissen, wie lange hier schon nicht mehr gründlich geputzt wurde - Die Matratzen sind leider ziemlich durch gelegen und würden ersetzt gehören - Die Desinfektionsspender waren fast alle leer! - Der Boden beim Pool ist gemein gefährlich! Mein Mann ist samt Baby am Arm ausgerutscht, nachdem zuerst ich fast gestürzt bin. Ein Kind ist zweimal auf den Kopf gefallen, ebenso ausgerutscht und viele Gäste sind dahin geschlittert. Zumindest ein Hinweis wäre hier angebracht, es ist wirklich gefährlich. Das Personal ist sehr bemüht und freundlich, dennoch wird sich hier teilweise zu wenig bemüht für das was man zahlt. Ich hoffe, dass sich diese Punkte besser da es uns ansonsten wirklich gut gefallen hat.

Das überaus freundliche und kompetente Personal ist stets bemüht, auch die ausgefallensten Wünsche zu erfüllen. Die Nähe zu Wien und Graz ca. nur je 1,5 Stunden Fahrzeit ist ein weiterer großer Pluspunkt. Das ganze Areal ist autofrei und die Kinder können sich frei bewegen. Das Essen ist hervorragend, abwechslungsreich und reichhaltig. Wir kommen seit vielen Jahren immer wieder gerne. Das nahegelegene Skigebiet Niederalpl ist übersichtlich bietet aber trotzdem genügend abwechslung und ist hervorragend für Skikurse. Es ist außerdem mit dem mehrmals täglich fahrenden Shuttlebus einfach und gratis zu erreichen.

Das Kinderhotel ist ein toller Platz, um mit der Familie einen Urlaub zu verbringen. Das Essen ist super, die Leute sehr nett und zuvorkommend. Die Angebote für die Kinder sind toll. Die Betreuung im Kinderklub ist wirklich hervorragend, ebenso die Betreuung bei Aktivitäten und Bastelarbeiten. Wir kommen gerne her!

Der Appelhof wirkt weniger wie ein Hotel, mehr wie ein kleines Dorf. Teilweise „shabby chic“, rustikal, modern,… einfach toll. Das Essen war gut, reichlich und abwechslungsreich - nur die Fliegen im Buffetbereich hätten nicht sein müssen (aber jo mei, Landleben!) Unser Sohn (3 Jahre) hatte keine Minute Langeweile. Von der Vielfaltigkeit der Möglichkeiten setzt das Hotel neue Maßstäbe für uns. Zwei Anmerkungen: lichtdämmende Vorhänge oder Jalousien am Zimmer wären super; und Servucepersonal, welches zumindest 2-3 Worte Deutsch spricht.
