We have been visiting the Alps for walking holidays for nearly 20 years and have stayed in a wide variety of locations and accommodation types, so have a good idea of what we need from a hotel. We like to stay somewhere close to the town/village centre, but not in the centre itself, ideally with some on-site facilities, such as a swimming pool. We like being close to the lifts and/or public transport as well. We always stay half board and prefer hotels which include a daily packed lunch, as this means that we don’t have to waste valuable walking time on trying to find food. We like comfortable rooms, preferably with a balcony and a nice view and a seating area is always a bonus too. In Kitzbühel, there were plenty of suitable hotels to choose from, but we were slightly horrified by the prices which were much higher than we had hoped. I guess we have Brexit and inflation to thank for that! In the end, we picked the Schweizerhof because it ticked all of our boxes and also had excellent reviews. We could only afford the cheapest room category, so we were not expecting to be given a particularly luxurious room. We arrived at the hotel at lunchtime and were delighted that our room was already available for check in (and that we could also pick up our Guest Pass). We were given room 218, which was on the second floor, overlooking the hotel driveway and the Hahnenkammbahn cable car. The room was much larger than we expected, with 2 big wardrobes, a mini fridge, a desk and a separate seating area, and was very nicely decorated in a modern style. We were also pleased to see that we had a Juliet balcony, with large floor to ceiling windows. The bathroom was also a good size, with plenty of storage space, but was decorated in a slightly more old-fashioned way than the bedroom. The shower cubicle was a bit on the small side, and we did have some issues with water temperature stability, but nothing that really impacted on our holiday. Although we did like our room overall, it would be fair to say that it was quite noisy. We had to have the windows open at night as we were there in warm weather, which meant that we were subject to noise from the road, the train, the cable car and some nearby building work. This was fine during the day, but a little annoying at night. Thankfully, my wax earplugs blocked out most of the noise! We also found that the pillows were not very good quality. These were minor issues though and wouldn’t stop us staying there again. The reviews that we had seen suggested that the Schweizerhof had a reputation for excellent food, and we certainly found this to be true. The evening meals were a particular highlight, with some very inventive and well-presented main dishes and desserts. As meat-eaters, but not fish-eaters, we had a choice of 2 main courses each evening (meat or veggie), which was fine from our point of view, but vegetarians might find the lack of choice frustrating. We also enjoyed breakfast, particularly the fresh fruit a
