Just a wonderful place- destination on its own . Der Kirchenwirt is an excellent proposition and a destination of its own . The traveler Have booked here last minute and it was just wonderful. From the very welcoming (late) arrival to the early departure - perfect in any sense . The Property is owned (and managed ) by a very able Couple; Hans & Veronika Riser. Together with their son Daniel and with the assistance of their very excellent and attentive staff Veronica and Hans are just on top of it . Making the guest feel at home and as comfortable as possible is clearly a priority . Whilst very “Austrian “ , nothing is too difficult . True Hospitality in heart and nature . The room stayed in was well and appropriately appointed . If something was / is required , the reception team led by two very able and attentive members ( Katrina in the Mornings and another very excellent lady in the evening whose name escaped me ) . The Bar area is an “event” on its own . Correctly priced , excellent drinks choice , great and appealing atmosphere ( relaxing but yet with a “vibe “ ) . The afternoon Soup and Cakes are elegantly served generously offered and something one expects in properties of this nature - yet , some properties forget the importance of doing it right . This property - did not . It may have been appropriate to offer also tea as part of this offering but the soup was a welcomed addition. It was something to look Forward to when coming back after a day out and a nice welcome for an afternoon drinks at the lovely bar . The Dining room , both for Breakfast and Lunch is very welcoming . The Buffet service on one evening was well presented . Whilst the menu on other evenings may be somewhat restrictive for some - the very attentive staff ( eg ‘ Paulina Kata and others whose name escaped me - and not for lack of their professionalism. They were all excellent ) , are there to assist. At the Background, The Owners are always there “checking in“, making sure everyone is having a good time . Indeed when on one evening i have kept for a brisk fresh air , the owner ( Hans ) immidiatly spotted my departure and promptly asked if everything in dinner was to my satisfaction- which of course it was . If it want’s i am sure it would have been looked to be corrected . It looked like that if a specific requirement was needed from the kitchen , they would do their best to assist . Very tuned to the modern Guest dietary requirements - yet keeping with Austrian traditions . The wet Facilities are perfect . Pool is of sensible side , Finish Sauna is properly Hot ( and with the correct essence ) , Ditto re steam room. The wet Facilities Run by a lady who seems to have been there for a while and , like the rest of the staff members are there for the guest comfort . There was a small issue with the Hamam steam - she was clearly interested to sort it out which i am sure she did . I have since departed . The hotel is spotless clean ! The service is attentive yet not intrusive. A difficult balance to strike - but at the Der Kirchenwirt they do it well . It’s a well oiled machine with positive initiative. When They heard the traveler had such an early start to his departure , Daniel has offered drop off to the train station so to allow the me having a leisurely breakfast - and another 30 min of mountain air sleep ! The hotel is very easily accessible from Innsbruck and its airport. It can serve a good break also for anyone who is in the area for business and looks for few days “bridge “ in between. Wi-Fi service works very well also . The traveler is looking forward for a return visit- hopefully the standards and attention to quality will stay . It looks like a place that proud itself by maintaining those standards .
