Hotel Kerschbaumer

What a fantastic experience we had. Having booked last minute we didn’t know what to expect but I can honestly say this was everything we hoped for and more. It started at the front door where a decorative board with our name on it welcoming us to the hotel, simple touch but it’s all about the detail…. We were greeted by Florian who immediately made us feel welcome speaking English as soon as he realised my German wasn’t great lol! He helped us with our planned visit to Hallstatt and explained about the hotel restaurant being a 3 minute walk away in a dedicated restaurant setting. We could feel that this was a family run business, it didn’t have the corporate colours, logos, standard uniforms and the often straight faced employee going through the motions, this was real. We went to our room and were pleasantly surprised, the view was spectacular, the bed comfy, the bathroom very sizeable and everywhere super clean. We dined in the restaurant after our visit to Hallstatt and was greeted by Florian. He was working and managing the restaurant that evening too. This is often the beauty of a family run hotel that each part of the family plays a roll, on the night I understood that Florian’s father was the chef on duty. I had the garlic cream soup which was fantastic, followed by the schnitzel and the finale was the apple Strudel, honestly the food was superb and extremely great value for money. (Bring cash as they don’t accept tips/gratuities by card, I only had €5 with me but truly wanted to leave more) After a great nights sleep we went down for breakfast and was greeted by Florian’s Mother who was really friendly and so helpful. The breakfast was one of the best we have had on our European road trip, the bread selection was perfect and the meats and cheeses, really hit the spot. There was yoghurt, cereals, cakes, croissants it was a truly rich spread. I absolutely loved the family feel and attention I was given and am already to inking about another visit next year.

I have used this hotel several years now, booking groups utilizing 3-7 rooms. Rooms are clean, updated and furnished in traditional alpine style. Every member of the Kerschbaumer family is happy to respond to special requests and guest needs. Staff have been with the hotel for years, are friendly, well-trained and the food is excellent. I have only had positive feedback from guests I have taken here. You won't find a better family-owned and managed hotel in the region.
