Ditto.
I was looking at booking it for a long weekend in Feb. It's so much cheaper than everywhere else, which makes me wonder.
So long as it's clean, safe and reasonably well located, that's enough for me.
Also, any comments on the food would be appreciated, as it is all half board.

Well, the person's real but it's just a made up name, see?

i translated the reviews and it seems to be basic but none of thm said it was dirty which is good.The food scored between 1 and 8 so i think you will either like it or you won't.I am going to book it and hope for the best.

is it clear where it is situated; from the name it sounds like it might be up a bit!

Hmm. Some of those reviews are pretty dire. But then, Germans love to complain and point out every fault they can find. For example, two of the three reviews complain about there only being one electical outlet in the room. Over three nights, a double room is €84 cheaper than the next cheapest option listed for my dates. For that, I can live with only one outlet. I can also use that money to buy dinner somewhere else if the food is crap.
I don't know. I guess I'll wait a while to see if anyone here has any first hand experience.

It is actually bang in the centre of Obertauern. Very conveniently placed for lifts serving both sides of the valley, shops and apres ski. I think it was one of the first hotels opened decades before Obertauern became a village as it is today - hence the name (Top of the Tauren pass I think). It definitely looks its age from the outside but don't know what it's like inside. I'd be tempted to try elsewhere myself...

Just back from a week in Obertauern staying here. Overall very happy with the accommodation choice. Plus/minuses as follows:
Good bits:
- cheap (53 euros pppn half board for a shared twin/double)
- very centrally located
- the food with the half board dinner option was almost always excellent (served in Hotel Wagner across the road)
- breakfast the usual Austrian buffet fare also fine
- clean reasonably spacious rooms...think they have been renovated recently
- free wifi in hotel lobby which can also be picked up in the rooms immediately above this e.g. #19
Not so good bits:
- exterior and interior decor for the lobby+corridors is shabby, a bit "youth hostel" with a slight musty smell so first impressions on entering are not good
- shower was not much more than a dribble, took a long time to warm up and very cramped for anyone 6ft+
- radiator in my room could not be turned off so got pretty hot at times...needed to open the window
A cheap no frills very well located hotel in a resort that is fairly devoid of budget accommodation options.
