Romantikhotel Zell am See

Really nice homely traditional hotel with modern facilities, indoor spa facilities also including a connected outdoor pool, superb food, great rooms both in the main hotel and in the annex, nice staff, good location, just fantastic for our ski trip!

Wonderful historical hotel. Beautifully presented hotel with individually decorated bedrooms and comfortable beds. Tastefully decorated throughout with lots of historical artefacts in the bar area. Family owned and all staff were lovely and eager to assist. we did the breakfast and dinner package and enjoyed both the food and the whole experience. The inside/outside pool was a bonus and heated too. Would return in a heartbeat.

What's better than coming home? … Coming home feels familiar and always good. In short: you wouldn't think it could be better than coming home. ... But ... at home you of course have to take care of the housework, prepare the food, make your bed and so many other things. What could be better than feeling completely at home and not having to do all those homely things. In other words: Welcome to Romantikhotel!! Last year we visited Romantikhotel again for the fifteenth time in a row. What can we add to all those beautiful and wonderful things you meet? For example, we are thinking of the incredibly beautiful hotel, all the facilities that the hotel has, plenty of (covered) parking, E-bike rental, the ideal location in Zell am See, the delicious food with a wide choice, the option to eat both indoors and outdoor dining, the great wellness and the indoor and outdoor swimming pool, the Romantikhotel offers the attractive “Zell am See Summer Card” with which numerous sights and facilities are completely free. But the area around the Romantikhotel is also wonderful and vibrant if you wish. The enchanting natural landscape in and around Zell am See, there is so much to do in Zell am See (skiing, walking, jogging, cycling, swimming, golfing, paragliding, boat rental, etc.), in short: too much to mention. Everything is really great. But we almost forgot to mention the most important thing. At Romantikhotel you will be pampered by the Hörl family and their employees not only as a guest. They are always there for you and try to make your holiday unforgettable with their typical Austrian hospitality and friendliness. But even more... they pamper you not only as a guest but even more as... a person. The moment you enter their hotel you immediately notice that this hotel is “different”. The hotel, the Hörl family and the employees really give you the feeling that the hotel is really your temporary “home”. But then a home without having to do chores. Therefore: can it be even better than Romantikhotel? .. After fifteen years we dare to say: the Romantikhotel is the place to be! Family Meeuws (The Netherlands)

Family run hotel with excellent staff, nothing is too much trouble. Excellent food on half board basis, always a choice of meat, fish or vegetarian. Room comfortable and very clean in a central location. Staff happy to answer any questions about the local area and recommend suitable excursions.

Excellent hotel,lovely, efficient, helpful staff. Very good food,plenty of choice and plenty of it. Hotel is so well run, very clean ,and comfortable. The beds are very comfortable, spa facilities excellent. Zell am See is a very good resort, well placed. The summer card is very useful too. All in all a wonderful holiday.

Room was down long dark corridor. It was over the kitchen. The room smelled of cooking. Very stuffy and noisy with staff getting ready in morning. 404 room not appropriate. Booked with a reputable travel company. Very disappointed with them

A great hotel. Staff very welcoming and helpful. Facilities good. Food excellent - only complaint was that there was too much on offer!!! Great location in the village centre and we made full use of the Summer Card which gave us free trips on trains, buses, boat trips and cable cars. We look forward to returning in 2025. We thoroughly recommend the Romantik Hotel.

We returned home yesterday after a fantastic week’s holiday at the Romantik hotel. The atmosphere from arrival onwards was just what we hoped it would be, with that homely feeling that you get from a family run hotel with such a long history. We loved the quirky decor touches in the lounge/bar area! We stayed in one of the Pinzgauer suites (614) and had a view overlooking the restaurant terrace, part of the garden and over roofs to the mountains beyond. It was a very spacious and modern room but also felt nicely Austrian with wood and traditional style textiles. The bed was a typical Austrian double/twin and very comfortable; the wardrobe had plenty of space for a week’s clothes for two and had a safe. The lounge area included a sofa and also a large bath! There was a kettle and a fridge, great for a British cuppa. The balcony had two comfortable reclining chairs and a table as well as a private sauna! The bathroom is very modern with an excellent large shower area and separate toilet. We were staying half board. Breakfasts are buffet style for everything, with eggs/omelettes made at a cooking station plus other hot choices as well as plenty of cold options, fruit, different breads, pastries, a cake of the day, cereal etc. There were various juices, teas and coffees. There was a basket with several gluten free options kept separate from the breads as well as soya milk and almond milk plus soya desserts. Dinners were a mixture of help yourself and waiter service most days, with a salad buffet, choice of soup to help yourself and sometimes a buffet dessert of the day too (eg ice cream day, pancake day, strudel day). Main courses usually had three choices: regional (meat), vegetarian or fish. One day was gala dinner night, which was all served, and included some interesting options which turned out to be very nice! There is free cake available at 4pm every day, usually two choices but sometimes more! You pay for drinks if you want them. Every member of staff we met was friendly and helpful, from the servers in the restaurant area to the reception team and indeed the owners who were visible helping and working when needed. They were happy to stop and chat and most spoke very good English. The hotel is in a perfect location only a few minutes’ walk from the esplanade and boat trips, town square and bus station as well as the cityXpress cable car base station. The train station is also only about 10 minutes walk away. We found our room to be very quiet even with the windows all open. Finally, I must mention the amazing Summer Card provided by the hotel, which gives you free access to cable cars, public transport, boat trips and various activities locally in Zell am See and Kaprun (we also went as far as Krimml waterfalls on the bus for free, getting a discount on admission too) as well as discounts on other things. In low season (we visited in late May) this is unlimited and we reckon we saved about €250 each over the course of the week! We would hi

Decent hotel in good location, clean rooms and well maintained throughout, food choice and quality was very good. All staff were friendly and attentive. Spa area is a nice area to relax in after a days skiing. Whilst we thoroughly enjoyed our stay at this hotel, I would also add that having initially been offered a room in the annex, we were very disappointed in the location and quality of the room. With the intervention of our tour rep we were moved to a room in the main part of the hotel. The difference in the rooms could not have been more contrasting. Had we stayed in the room in the annex, this would have been a one star review, the obsession with Royalty and large portraits adorning the walls in annex rooms is bizarre to say the least. I would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel or staying here again if I returned to Zell am See as long as I was assured of getting a room in the main part of the hotel.
