Hotel berhampiran Zirbenweg, Zell am See District

Only stayed the one night but we made most welcome in this huge hotel. Reminds me of a small cruise ship with 220 rooms, so a total of around 500 guests. The dining room is large but the buffet for evening meal starter and breakfast can only be described as “obscene”. There is so much choice, it can take you half an hour just to walk around the huge array of food, I have never seen so much good quality food in one place. You would expect the evening meal not to be that good as they are catering for such a large amount of people but the food is well presented and you really can not fault it. We were given a lovely room, room 315 very modern with a comfortable bed, decent shower and lovely picture window and bed overlooking a beautiful view. The only bad thing was that we hit a hot spell and no air con, sleeping with the windows open let the odd fly and mozzie in at night which was a pain. We were on half board, lots of parking outside (for free) and inside garage (for a fee). We had free access to the huge swimming pool and spa complex and also their own hotel spa area and infinity pool which although so much smaller, we actually preferred. You are allowed access from 9am on the day of your arrival, we arrived at 11am thinking that we could use the facilities and get our room after 3. I think because they were quiet we were offered check in at 11am which was amazingly generous of them, check out is 11am the next day. As I said, the staff were lovely and although a huge hotel we were here in June so did not feel at all manic. Really nice experience but lacked a bit of sophistication if you are wanting something a little bit special. It was my birthday on the day we left and at breakfast they brought hubby and I a couple of glasses of champagne and a lovely chocolate cake with a sparkler on the top which really was a lovely touch (although s bit embarrassing) and actually very much appreciated.

We stayed for four nights and only booked with breakfast. We had high hopes given all the good reviews the hotel has received. The overall experience was not terrible, but simply a disappointment. While the reception area feels fairly modern and refurbished, the rooms (or at least ours) had seen better days and should have been refurbished 10 years ago. Carpet in the hotel room had plenty of stains and most of the interior felt really outdated. This also goes for the pool area, which felt a bit crowded at times and the had very little excitment for the kids. The few toys that the hotel had at the pool area were broken and there was no area suitable for the smaller kids. The bed itself was neither good nor bad, but the pillows were hard and possibly old which made them hard to sleep on. The view from room was a train station and the main road which made it difficult having the windows open during night, resulting in a very hot room most days. The food at the restaurant was mostly tasteless so we decided to drive into town two of the evenings. The terrace is nice and was, together with convenience, only reason for us to dine at the restaurant a second day. Breakfast had many choices and was ok, but not more than that. Most of the staff was quite ok, often trying their best to serve although that also included instructing some teenangers working there as well. The reception was a real low point however. Feeling unengaged and jawned in front of us as we stood talking to her. It felt like this hotel was aspiring for something bigger but did not succeed in any area - compromises all over. Usually there are some comprimises, but it was all over unfortunately.

My apologies for being so late in reviewing this hotel. We, a group of 4 friends from Waterford , Ireland stayed there in January 2024. My friends not having not previously experienced Austrian culture nor Austrian ski resorts were blown away by our week stay at the St Georg. We arrived approximately 8pm and we were met by the ever friendly Danielle who checked us in and made us all feel so welcome. Breakfasts as you would expect was as a typical European Buffett and the atmosphere in the dining area always relaxed, cordial and professional. I was late one morning, but was afforded a last minute cup of coffee to wake me up. 😂 Proximity to the nearest gondola. Walk downhill for 5 mins or go the gondola and get the Schillerstraße bahn bus up to the middle station. Just follow the river directly across from the hotel. You won’t get lost. 😉 This hotel has everything . Good food, super staff, swimming pool, sauna but most of all this family knows how to run a business and continued success to them. Having been in Austria for many years skiing, this Hotel was definitely one of my favourites. Oh and don’t forget to say Hello to Karl at the bar. Looks like a WWE wrestler but is in fact a friendly giant. Thanks guys. Hopefully see ye next year.

So, if you are looking for a budget hotel ..stop reading. This is “erste Klasse“, you pay and will get everything you need. The hotel is very modern, not at a traditional Austrian hotel. The rooms are spacious and the beds are very comfortable. The every day cleaning is flawless. The breakfast is very.. I say very good… if you have included spa in your stay, you will enjoy something special… there different saunas.. spacious areas to relax… if you want to take a swim.. the hotel has two … indoor and outdoor.. it’s up to you… Why I love this hotel is that the service is great and the atmosphere is .. well it’s really relaxing.. you don’t get the feeling of that you are staying at a railway station.. if you get the feeling….but the downside is that you have to pay for this … well you only live once…

I have a complaint. Yesterday, I came to breakfast according to my reservation at the hotel. I did not find a table and I did not find anyone to receive me. So I went to a table where there was no one. I sat down to eat breakfast. I was surprised that the waiter asked me to leave the table in front of everyone, which embarrassed me in front of everyone present and put me at a far table. About the people, and I had to talk to the manager Marco to solve my problem. First, he refused to shake my hand. He showed me the guest list and that I was at the bottom of the list and did not deserve to be in view. He told me that he would reserve a table for me for tomorrow, but when I arrived today, I did not find my room number on any table nor anyone to guide me. Where is the professionalism in this dealing? And the manager tells me that I am at the bottom of the list and I do not deserve your good place!!! لا انصح ب الفندق من سوء الإدارة و سوء التعامل موظفين المطعم إذا حجزت لا تحجز بفطور عنصريه تعامل سيء جدا من اسوء تعامل في الفنادق الي زرتها موقعه جميل ولكن إدارة سيئه
