Wellnesshotel Schönruh

On the whole this is a really lovely hotel which I would thoroughly recommend. The hotel is in a great position 5 mins walk from town and train station, ski bus stop is a short walk away, so easy to get to ski area. The hotel is spotlessly clean and very well maintained. Staff are wonderful and could not be more helpful. Food very good, 4/5 courses every evening and wide range of breakfast options. But; the vast majority of the clientele of this hotel is 65+ and evening entertainment in the bar reflects this, as well as the choice of day excursions. We were a couple in our 30's so this was a little unexpected. The temperature in the dining room is unbearably hot, they could save themselves a lot of money by turning the heating down a few degrees. There is no tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms which would've been nice. Overall we had a lovely weekend here and would love to return in around 30+ years time.

There is in my opinion much to admire about this hotel.It is in a very pleasant location close to the town centre and is well furbished and maintained,.There are indoor and outdoor pools, a spa and fitness centre and the staff are excellent.The hotel offers full board with breakfast and evening meal.The breakfast is good but not exceptional and has a variety of hot and cold food typical of many international hotels. The evening meal is served in an attractive dining room with the tables immaculately dressed with linen table cloths.There is a good wine list.The set menu with choices reads well but the food does not match up to the description on the menu.A salad buffet to start is followed by a small course, then soup followed by the main course, dessert and cheese.The soups were usually very good but the main courses showed little culinary knowledge or skill.For example Coq au Vin which was a piece of chicken covered with a sauce which I believe made an acquaintance with the chicken when it was put on the plate ,There was no evidence the chicken had been coked with red wine ,mushrooms ,lardons and onions.Likewise a pigs cheek dish in which the flesh was rubbery and hard showed no indication it had been cooked in the sauce which covered it.Another dish was over cooked trout accompanied by beetroot and gnocchi which were also tasteless hard and rubbery.In my few they should remove the second dish and focus more on the main courses.Desserts were nothing special.There is in my view much room for improvement.How about serving some typical Austrian dishes, of which there are many, and which are ideal for what after all is mass catering

Stayed as a couple at the beginning of March. Our second visit to this hotel - with the 2 year covid interruption in between :( Double room with balcony had a glorious view over Seefeld village to mountains beyond. Room was very clean with a good, hot shower in bathroom (and a separate toilet room) Plenty of wardrobe and storage space. Television with a few UK channels. Wifi signal is fine, but could be stronger. Booked on a half board basis. Breakfast is an extensive offering. Cold cuts of meat and cheese, fruit, bread and cakes, as well as full cooked option. Dinner is a top quality, fine dining experience over 4 courses. There is a definite accent on Austrian alpine style dishes, all of which are delicous (inc. vegetarian options) and served very professionally by our friendly waitress Krisztina. The spa area is large and clean and we particulary enjoyed swimming outside in the heated pool with snow and steam all around. Location is only a short 10 min walk to centre of village, but far enough away to be peaceful. There is a ski rental shop within 400m and hotel reception (again - friendly and efficient) can organise cross country ski trail passes for entire area. Passes include free bus transfer between villages/trails. In summary, I definitely recommend this hotel and will certainly return.
