Hotel Dengan Spa di Carinthia, Austria

We stayed in the Apartment Maisonette. Very nice and met our expectations. It has 2 bathrooms with toilets and sink, but only one bathroom also has a shower/tub and that bathroom is upstairs in the apartment. The main problem is with the parking. But parking in any city is hard. We had to walk about a block to get to the parking garage. And we didn’t understand how the parking worked. So the first day we tried to leave and the tickets didn’t work to let us out. The hotel was nice and helped us figure it out. We also left our parking ticket in the car and then when I tried to go to the car at night, I couldn’t get into the garage without the ticket. I wasn’t going anywhere and could wait to get items out of the car. So I was actually glad they had that safety feature. I believe the parking cost $15 Euros a night. We didn’t have breakfast at the hotel. It looked good, but at $21 Euros a person we thought that was too expensive. But we aren’t big breakfast eaters. We stayed on a Friday and Saturday night. Saturday morning we woke up and headed to the car. We were pleasantly surprised to find a nice farmers market by the garage entrance. We bought some nice pastries and strawberries for breakfast.

Staff at the hotel are super friendly and helpful. The rooms are very nice: Cosy soft bed, large balcony and really cool bathroom with very modern shower. I also enjoyed the breakfast buffet. There is food for every taste and, very important to me, the coffee is awesome. The location of the hotel is awesome, too: Right next door to the town‘s spa and the Kaiserburgbahn, the gondola that‘ll take you to the summit of Wöllaner Nock, the starting point of various great hiking tours.

The hotel is excellent. We visited for the IronmanAustria event, and were very impressed. Restaurant staff were exceptional, the food was very high quality, the pool has an incredible view, we slept well, the parking was great, we both had a superb massage. I am struggling to think of anything that was not positive.

I will not go into detail about the service, location, or whatever, but I will specifically target the room, because this is not worth an IGH standard. I booked this hotel, because I needed to have surgery in Villach and had to be at the hospital very early in the morning and therefore got myself a room. I will be honest, I took the cheapest room, which was the ”Cozy” and still was 135€ per night for me. When I arrived at my room, I couldn't believe my eyes, it was an adapted conference room, with a pull-up bed. One could clearly see the ”walls” that could be put away and the beamer overhead for presentations. I was just shocked. I will admit, I could have gone back to the front desk to ask them to change the room, but I was kind of nervous and tired, so I didn't do that. And it seems that the hotel was pretty much booked, so I didn't have high hopes for another room... Anyway, apart from this very weird room, also the cleanliness was questionable, the coffee mugs were already covered in dust, the spoons were brown, from past use? As I had to get up very early anyway I didn't mind the preparing of the conference room next door, which involved vaccuming and loud phone calls. If I would have been here for leisure and wanted to get a good sleep in, that would not have been the correct adress. I did tell the hotel about my bad experience and asked them to clarify. Basically they told me that it was my own fault, as I booked the cozy room and that they are indeed cheaper. After consulting the website, one cannot identify on the pictures that the ”cozy” rooms appear to be conference rooms, that can be reused as rooms when needed and have a pull-out-bed. Additionally the ”normal” rooms were just 10€ more expensive, and appear to be nice at least looking at the pics. They did offer me a 10% discount for my next stay. I gladly decline that. Therefore for all others: If you decide to stay at the Voco don't take the Cozy rooms, especially not for that price, its a scam. An IHG hotel should at least have the decency to not sell those ”things” as rooms and certainly not at this price ...

Il Ortners Eschenhof è un bellissimo hotel in centro al paese di Bad Kleinkircheim. Fin dall'entrata si assapora l'amore per la natura, nelle piccole e grandi cose che si notano in tutto l'hotel. Abbiamo soggiornato per una settimana, due adulti, nostra figlia e il nostro cagnolino Rocky. Come dico sempre chi ama gli animali... ha una marcia in più! In tutto l'hotel sono presenti asciugamani dedicati ai nostri amici a 4 zampe con cui asciugare le zampine bagnate e sporche, un tocco di gentilezza mai visto altrove, tanti complimenti. L'hotel non è solo pet-firendly ma anche eco-friendly, infatti i saponi naturali per la doccia e la vasca da bagno, i pannelli fotovoltaici, ed altri piccoli indizzi fanno di questo hotel un grande esempio di civiltà. Le stanze sono spaziose, con tantissimi spazi per il guardaroba, pavimento a parquet, ampio bagno con vasca e doccia, vano separato per il wc. Noi abbiamo avuto la fortuna di prendere una delle ultime stanze a piano terra con giardino, poco utile in inverno, ma sicuramente spettacolare in estate. Letto per nostra figlia nella stessa stanza.... forse poca privacy, ma una stanza molto confortevole. In stanza, per chi ha l'amico a 4 zampe al seguito, viene fornito un kit di ciotole e tappettino. L'area benessere è organizzata con due piscine, una interna ed una esterna, entrambe riscaldate, un bagno turco, sauna e cabina infrarossi. Per gli amanti dei massaggi, è a disposizione un ampio spazio dove rilassarsi dopo una giornata di fatiche.... non posso dare opinioni perchè non ne ho usufruito. Le piste da sci sono a 50m dall'hotel, raggiungibili con scarponi ai piedi, e in 10 minuti a piedi si è in centro al paese. Per chi non scia, esistono tantissimi percorsi di trekking in mezzo alla splendida Austria, forse sono di parte ma è davvero uno stato incredibile. La pensione 3/4 è una delle mie formule preferite, una ampia colazione, una merenda per chiudere un bucanino con tisane e spuntini, e una bella cena. Le bevande, compresa l'acqua, sono tutte a pagamento, per cui sappiatelo che al mattino troverete lo scontrino da firmare... e la mancia ( in Austria è gradita ). Cosa non mi è piaciuto.... forse l'unica cosa è l'acqua a cena...
