Hotel Sonnschein

Ein Hotel in welchem wir herzlichst empfangen wurden , sehr freundlich, sehr sauber, Parkplatz direkt am Haus, aktuell wird hier erneuert also Baustelle, aber für uns nicht wirklich störend da wir wandertechnisch den ganzen Tag unterwegs sind. Essen gut auch dort freundliches , hilfsbereites Personal.

Vorab: über die Suberkeit im Hotel, Qualität der Zimmerreinigung gibt es kein Anlass zur Beschwerde. Die Lage des Hotels nahe der Gondel ist hervorzuheben, dass es dem Flair der 80er entspricht wurde schon berichtet. Das Essen nur Durchschnitt, das Frühstück würde eher einer Pension gerecht werden. Ein schöner Außenpool, den auch Angestellte für ein Trinkgelage nutzen, erstaunt schon sehr! Das ist ein No-Go!

Wir haben uns sehr willkommen gefühlt - die beiden Skitage waren rundum gelungen. Das Frühstücksbuffet mit der Möglichkeit, Obst-und Gemüsesäfte selbst zu pressen, war sehr üppig und allein die vielen verschiedenen Brotsorten waren beeindruckend. Das Abendmenü – man konnte zwischen drei Hauptgängen wählen – hat uns an beiden Tagen sehr gut geschmeckt.

Hotel Sonnschein Niederau Wildschonau Austria. Dariusdave was on a Leger Coach holiday having seen the last performance of The Passion Play at Oberammergau 2/10/22 we had 3 days (3-5 Oct) in the Austrian Tyrol visiting Salzburg, Innsbruck & Kitzbühel. Our Scottish coach drivers had spoken very highly of Hotel Sonnschein 4* hotel that they had previously visited both in Summer and Winter. Location was wonderfully scenic, but despite recent rains the flower troughs on balconies were well past their best it was early October. When 40+ guests arrive on a coach the check-in process can be challenging. Goodwill all round ensured a smooth procedure I was given room key, directions to lift, bit of a route march, and entered room 324, my case was brought by bell boy soon after. At first sight room seemed pleasant with balcony giving chocolate box views if one avoided looking down. Evening provided a beautiful sunset looking at Tyrolean chalet style homes but looking down was a building site more reminiscent of a Steptoe & Son yard than Austrian Tyrol. Good hard-working Austrian construction workers start their day at sunrise so many would have found their early morning noise disturbing. Room belonged to an earlier era no USB sockets but there was a socket for my Sleep Apnoea machine. Wardrobe a good size but not generous with hangers, plenty of drawer storage, t.v and comfy chairs. Bathroom was fine as is often the case once one worked out shower controls it was splendid, loo flushed first time. A strange Austrian tale, we were told our towels were thin for environmental reasons. Thin (not soft fluffy towels) as these were easier to wash and dry saving both euros and environment. Given our water problems see dinners, I thought this was a tale for the Marines!!! BUT room had mug and kettle no tea bags, coffee sachets, milk pods or sugar. Answer ask at reception told a room kit was available for 7 Euros this was supposed to be a 4* hotel. The local Lidl sells quality instant coffee jars for far less. Dariusdave drinks black coffee, recently returned from an Irish Coach holiday where all 4 hotels provided tea and coffee etc. in bedrooms. Similarly, on bowls tour to an art deco Hotel in Eastbourne they provided plenty of tea, coffee and lovely ginger biscuits. I fear this euro pinching mentality extended throughout this hotel. Dariusdave tends to be an early riser and likes to arrive for breakfast before “the stampede”. Breakfasts were good buffet style. Plenty of choices for English and Europeans including fresh orange juice and a very slow bean to cup coffee machine with long queues or a simple coffee machine without queues. However, for a man with a stick it was a route march to my table, not once did any member of staff offer to help carry my plates. Other reviews mention grumpy staff, breakfast staff were exceptionally grumpy. Sadly, there were no fresh cooked omelettes, the first two breakfasts had a choice of scrambled or fried eggs plus bacon
