The real test of any hotel is the question “Would you go back”? When my wife suggested a trip to the snow in January 2024, we both agreed that it had to be the Salzburgerhof. After visiting in March of 2023, it was only a matter of time before we returned. As a hotel with all-round excellence. It has few peers. Whilst everyone is entitled to their own opinion, some of the negative reviews are simply hilarious. For example, criticism of the restaurant staff is risible. No place can ever be totally faultless but the restaurant service in the hotel comes closer than any place we have visited. For example, some diners like to have their wine poured by staff - I do not. The practice of depositing your wine in an ice-bucket yards away, drives me mad. When I saw this happening in the Salzburgerhof I was about to intervene but my wife (God bless her) suggested I let it be to see what happened. The service was simply perfect. Our glasses never emptied but were also never over-filled. As a metaphor for the entire restaurant service - you could have no better example. That level of service was evident throughout the hotel and this is the foundation as to why it is such a wonderful place to stay. The food at the hotel is astonishingly good, considering there are so many covers. Enough choice, expertly prepared, perfectly balanced and - should you wish - the best end of meal cheese selection I have ever seen at any hotel. Despite this high level of sophistication, don’t think this hotel is a little “mom and pop” place, or a tiny hotel with few facilities - quite the opposite. I’d go as far as to say the hotel is more of a spa resort. There are so many trea**ents and facilities that you are spoiled for choice. Indoor/outdoor pools, gyms and daily suggestions for things to do during your stay. They even have a table-football machine in the “games room”. As we waited for our taxi to arrive, we talked about the possibility of a return next winter and both of us agreed - that was definitely going to happen. In terms of overall excellence, you will be hard pressed to find better. We will be back again next winter, that's for sure.
