Your really must stay clear of this place - the disco which the member from stuttgart mentioned below is unbelievably noisy - it certainly went on till 3 in the morning. The hotel is disorganised - often no one on reception and taxis wrongly ordered etc. Unbelievably, my room was not cleaned and I had to beg for clean towels. Be aware also it is not in anif, itself a schlep from salzburg, but a further 2km out. Possibly the worste place I have stayed in Austria.

If you like staying in a hotel surrounded by a car park this is the place for you. Though reasonably priced it offered little of the welcome afforded by other Austrian hotels with a reception often not staffed, a very noisy disco, room service that appeared not to include the cleaning of the actual rooms. The restaurant staff though were helpful and friendly. Please do be aware that this hotel isn't actually in the charming village of Anif but a further 2km outside Salzburg. Odysseus

Si vous aimez vous retrouver dans un hôtel situé en plein milieu d’un parking, celui-ci est parfait ! Bien que raisonnable côté prix, il n’était pas aussi accueillant que d’autres hôtels autrichiens. Il n’y avait souvent personne à la réception, la discothèque était très bruyante, et le nettoyage des chambres ne semblait pas être fait tous les jours. Le personnel était cependant très gentil et serviable. Il faut savoir que cet hôtel ne se trouve pas dans le charmant village de Anif mais 2 km plus loin sur la route de Salzbourg.

Il vaut mieux éviter cet endroit. La discothèque mentionnée par l’intervenant de Stuttgart est incroyablement bruyante et elle ne s’est pas arrêtée avant 3h00 du matin. L’hôtel n’est pas très bien organisé : souvent personne à la réception, des taxis commandés sans raison, etc. Incroyable mais vrai, ma chambre n’a pas été faite, et j’ai dû aller mendier des serviettes propres. Je vous préviens également qu’il n’est pas situé à Anif, qui se trouve à quelques kilomètres de Salzbourg, mais à 2km en dehors. C’est probablement le pire hôtel où je suis allé an Autriche.

Just returned from a week of skiing at the Gourmet Hotel Kaiserhof in Elmau. The hotel is situated on a plateau above Elmau with a spectacular view of the mountains (note: the road to the hotel is a little steep and windy). The Kaiserhof offers traditional Austrian half board which is breakfast and dinner. The owner and chief Chef, Herr Lambert organizes and prepares a dazzling 6 course menu with usually 2 choices for a main dish as well as a wellness menu. Drinks are not included but there is an extensive wine list. The hotel is nicely decorated in an Austrian theme, rooms nicely sized, and usually with a sitting area. The hotel has 3 different types of saunas, a full spa with make-up, facial, massage, etc., swimming pool and ski-in ski-out (snow permitting). We were lucky to get some of the best snow conditions of the season but the Ski Welt area is a little low (most parts below 2000 meters) so there is a small risk of poor conditions with a warm Winter. Even if the skiing was average, for non skiers, or during the rest of the year, there is plenty to keep yourself busy between the spa, sauna, pool, and surrounding area. The Hotel is priced at the 5-star level that it is but you certainly get what you pay for in outstanding gourmet food, impeccable service by a friendly/helpful staff, in a beautiful appointed hotel in a breathtaking setting. If you want a relaxing, gourmet ski holiday, Frau Lambert and her team will ensure you will have a vacatiuon to remember.
