Last minute ski holiday over Christmas. So we went with what's available via crystal ski. The place is sparkling clean and warm. We were left to our own devices and breakfast was fresh and tasty. Great coffee and beautiful views. Dont know if it's an Austrian thing but the bath was so deep, loved it. A little dated in decor but we were always comfortable and homely. The quiet of the location was worth the very short walk to the ski bus. It's all very close. Would stay again. Downside: You eat dinner outside the hotel at Neuhaus hotel up the road. Although this is a more expensive hotel we didn't like it there. The waiter was an eye roller... the portions were incredibly small and you are put in the side room. Very much felt like the poor relations. Which these kind of holidays are not cheap.

“Quiet and comfortable - eventually!”

We didn't book this hotel but got transferred here by Thomson because the hotel we had booked was full. We had booked a double (Austrian twin) but we were given a twin room with beds at opposite sides of the room. Thomson mistake not the hotel's. We asked the hostess if we could change but she s… more

We didn't book this hotel but got transferred here by Thomson because the hotel we had booked was full. We had booked a double (Austrian twin) but we were given a twin room with beds at opposite sides of the room. Thomson mistake not the hotel's. We asked the hostess if we could change but she said sorry the hotel was full. However, 10 minutes later she rang to say that a double would be available a couple of days later if we would like it. I am glad we said yes because the beds in room 22 were the most uncomfortable I have slept - or rather not slept on. The beds creaked with every movement. The room itself was fine with a lovely view from the balcony. We moved to room 23 which was much better - very comfortable beds. This hotel is very much a B and B. Breakfast was the usual buffet with a selection of cheeses, meats, cereals, fruit and cakes - no hot food but that didn't bother us as there was enough choice. We found the hostess friendly and helpful. The hotel is a good location next to a meadow. It is about 10 minutes walk to the centre of the town where there are plenty of restaurants. One thing that surprised us was how quiet the town is at night after about 9:30. We arrived on a Saturday evening and there was hardly anybody around. We did eventually find a couple of bars/restaurants that still had people in after 9:30 (and didn't have accordion players in). One we particularly liked was Edelweis. Mayrhofen is a great base for exploring this area of the Alps. Public transport is frequent and easy to use. There are loads of walks that start in the town, though it is not always easy to find the start of them. There are also lots of walks starting at the tops of the cable cars. Overall we had a good time. We may well go back again and if we did we would probably stayin this hotel.

“Cheap but missing the cheerful!”

This was a cheap and cheerful trip for a week to lovely Mayrhofen. Unfortunately the cheerful bit was lacking in the hostess! The B&B is located close to town, 5 minute walk.

This was a cheap and cheerful trip for a week to lovely Mayrhofen. Unfortunately the cheerful bit was lacking in the hostess! The B&B is located close to town, 5 minute walk. It is a charming looking building and very well maintained. There is a lovely garden to the front with a lovely natural plunge pool. There is no bar and a small sitting area at the end of the dining room.As with this type of property there is no lift. The rooms are a good size and the bathroom is small but spotless. The mattress weren't great at all, blankets were placed under one to prop it up. Breakfast was fine. Elizabeth was very efficient but not the most friendly. The beds and friendliness are important to me that is why I have given a low rating. Mayrhofen is great, do go but maybe stay somewhere else.
