Poster: A snowHead
|
hi all,
planning a trip to Saalbach for a few days end feb.
given the lateness of the booking and the time of year most hotels are full except this one http://www.hotel-herzblut.at/.
it looks to have only been built in 2011 so reviews are non-existant and the website has some generic pics of happy people drinking in snow & ski scenes but only a handlful of the hotel itself.
is there anyone who may have stayed there or someone with "(ski)boots on the ground" know of it or about it ?
it looks to be a sister hotel to www.hotel-auwirt.at which also has availability but again little info.
dont know which is best or if its all too much of a gamble - any thoughts ?
thanks a lot
Nick

Obviously A snowHead isn't a real person

No, but as it's in Austria I imagine it will be tip top. We were due to stay at the Glemmtalerhof in Hinterglemm but it burned down last week

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

Herzblut is brand new, built last summer/autumn and only just completed in time for Christmas 2011, hence no reviews. About a 15 minute walk to the Schattberg lift (you'll struggle to get on a ski-bus even though they stop right outside), so not exactly a central location. For those who know Saalbach, the hotel is almost opposite the Capt'n Hook swimming pool, near to the Museum, on the road to Hinterglemm.

Anyway, snowHeads is much more fun if you do.

quinton, Do you think it would really take 15 minutes to walk from the Cap'n Hook/Museum area to the Schattberg Xpress lift station. From what you say, this new hotel sounds to be very near the Hotel Karlshof, which we stayed in when it used to be a First Choice chalet, and I used to reckon on about 5 mins to the lift - or is my memory letting me down? Anyway, the Auwirt is within a stone's throw of the Schattberg Xpress and the village centre, so it seems the preferable option, particularly in view of Simone, 's recommendation.

Tatman's Tours: You were younger then . Let's split the difference and say 10 minutes, as the Herzblut is indeed next to the Karlshof. And the Auwirt is even closer.
