The property is about a kilometer out of town, so you will need a car. But it is right at the base of the mountain with the stream running in front. It was very clean, with new carpet. The dining room is beautiful, natural wood, and excellent food was served. It is family run, so you won't see a lot of staff around, but someone was always available. Clean, comfortable, and quiet - perfect for me.

Shocking - the worst stay of my life

I don't know who I am angrier with - Expedia who moved us to the Waldesruh or the stupendous "inn keeper" who does not know the first thing about hospitality or how to even use his own credit card machine. It was the worst stay of my life - the rooms were shabby, there was no water in the pool, the breakfast - words can not describe how bad this was other than to say I only looked at breakfast once and on the second day opted for pringles. If you would like to test your survival instincts or just to make you want to feel much better about your worst hotel experience up to this point this would be a great option. Otherwise it would appear you didn't have your reading glasses as you were clearly unable to read this - sorry. Oh and the only reason I gave half a star is because I was unable to give negative stars and would suggest that the person who awarded 4 stars either did so many many years ago and has not been back in quite some time or is currently an angry sadist who hates children and kicks puppies as a hobby and badly needs a sense of smell and spectacles.

It is a Pansion, not a Hotel. But a good one.

This is a very-very nice Pansion, but do not expect a Hotel. It is 20 km away from the Hochkar ski resort, and has reasonable prices. We only found bed and breakfast offer on Expedia, but they also offer half board. Ask for it, it saves you a lot of time and effort solving the dinner question each night. They also call themselves a restaurant, but when we were there only the guests who stayed there had dinner, and we were the only ones ordering from the menu. The menu is poor, and the food is typical austrian. Don't expect too much, you are not in italy or france. The rooms are very big, in our room they had a separate bathroom and toilet, which was very nice. The fit out is rather old, the 80's style, but functional and clean. The parking is also big, they also have a ski room to store the skies, but it is not heated, so it is not good to leave the boots there. They offer free wifi, but it is not the fastest. Enough for e-mails though.

Ganz passabel - bei nicht zu hohen Ansprüchen

Wir waren nur eine Nacht im Waldesruh und die war ganz OK. Freundlicher Empfang, schönes großes Zimmer mit Vollholzmöbeln, die zwar nicht der neuesten Mode entsprechen aber in bestem Zustand waren. Großer Flachbild-Fernseher, Audioanlage, Radiowecker, Bad und WC getrennt - das hätten wir nach dem schnellen Einchecken im Foyer so nicht erwartet. Dort und auch außen könnte mal etwas aufgefrischt werden. Die Balkonsessel sind schon ziemlich verwittert, haben uns aber locker ausgehalten. Der Pool war sehr angenehm, auch wenn er schon etwas in die Jahre gekommen ist. Dafür gluckst, röchelt und plätschert einem wenigsten keine Überlaufrinne den ganzen Tag die Ohren voll. Der Speisesaal ist trotz rustikaler Ausstattung angenehm hell, heller als auf dem Bild der Website. Das Frühstück war OK, könnte aber mit etwas mehr Liebe angerichtet werden. Wünsche wurden sofort erledigt, sofern man sie jemandem mitteilen konnte. Abends gegen 22:00 Uhr waren Restaurant, Bar und Foyer aber bereits total verwaist - weder Angestellte noch Gäste wurden gesichtet. Letztere waren dafür auf dem Zimmer hörbar, was uns aber nicht weiter störte, denn wir haben immer Ohrstöpsel dabei. Waldesruh herrscht aber sonst wirklich! So sehr, dass manches Auto auf der 100 m entfernten Straße deutlich zu vernehmen war. Doch der Verkehr ist moderat. Bei der Abreise gibt der Hausherr gern ein paar Tips für Ausflüge und suchte uns extra ein Infoblatt zur sehr empfehlenswerten Wasserlochklamm. Wir haben uns wohl gefühlt.

Bei der Ankunft wurden wir sehr freundlich und mit Namen begrüßt. Das Zimmer war sauber und schön groß. Beim Frühstücksbuffet gab es eine große Auswahl und alles wurde recht schnell wieder aufgefüllt. Am Abend konnte man entweder das Menü (entweder vegetarisch oder Fleisch) oder a la carte essen. Das Essen schmeckte sehr gut. Dazu gab es jeden Abend ein großes Salatbuffet. Wir hatten einen sehr schönen und angenehmen Aufenthalt. Ich kann das Hotel nur empfehlen!

Servicefreundlichkeit nicht vorhanden

Also die Preis-Leistung bei einem Zimmerpreis von € 130,— hat leider nicht gepasst. Das sog. Frühstücksbuffett war äusserst bescheiden. Ab 22:00 war bei der Rezeption niemand mehr erreichbar und auch einige Türen zu Allgemeinteilen versperrt. Also ab 22:00 heisses Wasser für ein Baby zu bekommen, ein Ding der Unmöglichkeit.Also Flexibilität und Freundlichkeit haben hier durchaus noch Luft nach oben.

Katastrophal

Beginnen wir mit dem (wenig) positiven: Die Zimmer sind sauber und Handtücher, sowie Bettwäsche gibt es täglich frisch. So das war es dann auch schon mit dem positiven :-( Der Hotelier wirkt permanent mürrisch. Das Personal schlichtweg überfordert. 4 Sterne - ein Witz!!! Wie die erlangt wurden is mir ein Rätsel?! Das Essen war permanent aus, bis Nachschub kam dauerte es oft 20 min. und mehr. Die Suppe wurde zu Tisch gebracht - ok. 3 Hauptspeisen als Buffet zur Selbstbedienung - ja wenn es 3 Speisen gegeben hätte! Oft waren es nur 2 und dann so billige Sachen: zB Tortellini in Tomatensauce und gebratenes Hühnerfilet in einer fertigen Rahmsauce mit Reis/Kroketten. Der Reis War nach 10 min. leer und es kam nichts nach - nach Rückfrage. Erklärung: sie haben keinen mehr. Bitte was????? Wie kann das passieren in einem 4 Sterne Hotel - wo doch das Abendessen von 18:30 - 20:00 Uhr geht!! Und dann gibt es um 18:40 Uhr bereits keinen Reis mehr .... Alternativ gab es dann geschlagene 20 min. später Bratkartoffeln. Die Nachspeise brauchte 45 min. - (wurde auch wieder serviert) Erklärung: Sie war noch nicht angerichtet. Frühstück: zähes Gebäck - weit entfernt von frisch. :-( Diesem Hotel gehört mind. 2 Sterne entzogen!!! EINE FRECHHEIT!! Nie wieder.

Schein ist nicht Sein.

Ein bisschen mehr Freundlichkeit wäre wünschenswert. Ein bisschen mehr Sauberkeit im Speisesaal wäre sicher nicht schlecht. Das Hotel scheint trotz angeblicher Totalsanierung vor nicht allzu langer Zeit trotzdem in die Jahre gekommen zu sein.
