Hotel Mesra keluarga di Fuschl am See

This hotel is everything you expect from a well established family run Austrian lake side retreat. The protocol of its day to day running is well established and sound, removing the irritations that often come with a newer or badly managed establishment. The staff are well trained and informative. The food offerings are plentiful but not lavish or luxurious. I’ve been to other Austrian hotels where for example, the cold meats and breads at the buffet are of better quality and more abundant. More varieties of fruits and vegetables offered at the juice bar etc. This didn’t detract from the enjoyment for me personally but I mentally noted it and another guest who had been coming to the hotel for many years did say that the quality and quantity of F and B ‘wasn’t what it used to be’. Despite this I still enjoyed it and I am sure the hotel are doing its very best to make it work in a market that is probably more challenging of late in the face of rising costs and local staff shortages. Sometimes I felt like there was a rather meagre and ungenerous edge to some of the services eg charging 1.5 euros for a carafe of tap water at the table (when you didn’t order alcohol/wine), and the buffet choices mentioned above, hence my 4 rather than 5 star rating, however I would definitely return to this hotel and recommend it to others. I appreciated the positive environmental efforts the hotel are going to; a rather officious towel policy (well managed and not onerous) and the avoidance of plastic use. Excellent job. The rooms are super comfy and function well (if you want marble and brand new bathrooms and fixtures, don’t stay in this kind of hotel). The housekeeping is top notch. The spa services and facilities on offer are great. The massage I had was lovely. The staff are super lovely. The price is fair. I really enjoyed my time here. PS we upgraded our room mid stay. The reception assured us it would be an easy and seamless move, all done for us however it wasn’t at all. The porter who came refused to do it for us even though we had been told to the contrary. After throwing our things into a case at top speed we felt rather misled and when I raised it subsequently no one came to explain or apologise. Not a big thing but definitely an easy fix for the hotel - I guess things sometimes get missed or mis communicated.

Angenehmes Hotel mit freundlicher Führung und Personal. Das Haus ist eher traditionell (kein moderner ”Luxus”), aber in positivem Sinne zweckmäßig. Das Zimmer hat alles, was man braucht, modern und sauber (keines Manko die Einwegprodukte im Bad, vielleicht könnte man Spender für Seife/Duschgel andenken), der Balkon bietet wunderbare Ausblicke in die Umgebung. Ticket fürs Strandbad und Strandtücher sind im Hotel erhältlich, ein sehr feiner Service, der Flexibilität ermöglicht. Das vielfältig und regional bespielte Frühstücksbuffet lässt keine Wünsche offen, das Restaurant (ebenfalls klar regional ausgerichtet) ist sehr empfehlenswert. Ich komme gerne wieder.
