 Poster: A snowHead
|
Mrs JB has just been down to Thomas Cooks and they have ditched their Andorra and French flights over Christmas, so it has to be Austria, which is fine anyway.
They have come up with the above hotel for £1452.00 for 2 people, H/B. Alot more than I usually pay, but have always wanted to do a full week in Saalbach. What do you peeps think?

It's bang in the middle of the village, right by the village square, therefore very convenient for all facilities and an easy walk from all three of the lifts (Schattberg Xpress, Kohlmais gondola and Bernkogel chair). It also has a pole-dancing club in the basement, full of naked Poles (which my wife dragged me into for research purposes one night).
You're doing the right thing by looking for somewhere in central Saalbach, rather than one of the hotels along the main road outside the village - taxis, ski buses and walking are to be avoided if possible, particularly when you're in a resort that prides itself on its fully interlinked lift system.
PM me your e-mail if you would like me to send you my 'Rough Guide to Saalbach'. (Don't however expect too much - just my ramblings about ski areas, bars, restaurants, etc.)

johnboy, We stayed there about 3 years ago and it was great in terms of location and distance to lifts. We were in a room at the front of the hotel so it got a bit noisy later on at night, but it didn't disturb us too much as we were really tired!
The rooms are still in the 70's in terms of decor but they were comfortable. Our room was fine in terms of size but our friends was so small that they couldn't get out of the bed without climbing over it and there was only about a foot of space on the other side. Some complained and were moved to the annex across the road where the rooms were quite big, so if you're not happy it might be worth asking.
Food was fine (providing you're not vegetarian!) and staff friendly.
Price seems ok as we paid around £690 p/p for the last week in Feb. Saalbach is well worth the money!
PS: Don't leave any beer chilling on the balcony if you're at the front of the hotel as ours was pinched! (These balconies didn't have dividers).

Me and my family stayed here this summer just gone, it was lovely. We got upgraded into a suite when we got there which was nice! All the staff were lovely, decor is not traditionaly austrian but its nice all the same. Brilliant location too, for winter, really close to both lifts, one was an uphil walk but still absolutely lovely !
