Lovely stay in Austrian Castle

Lovely stay in an Austrian castle. Lots of history explained to us by a host who is obviously passionate about the hotel and sharing it with the visitors. All the staff were friendly and helpful; in particular the young man at breakfast. It is a very quiet and peaceful location.

Pros: This hotel is in a castle and is simply gorgeous! The staff, Annette and Max, were gregarious and helpful. (We loved this place. It was our favorite during our Austrian excursion.) Cons: It's about a ten minute drive to town or a 35-minute walk.

We loved our stay at Schloss Prielau Hotel. The staff made us feel like family & even upgraded us to the suite! The property is gorgeous & is only a 5 min walk from lake zell. The restaurant is incredible & it actually turned out to be the best food we ate for our entire trip. This hotel takes you back in time but it is very clean & maintained. We will be coming back one day!

Nothing Special

Beautiful building and grounds but felt somewhat soulless. The room was disappointing for a superior room and cost. I think we wrongly interpreted several of the room photos to be of a superior room which they are evidently not. If you want a historic venue, fancy restaurant and prepared to pay a high price for a mediocre room go for it!

Friendly staff. The room was very well insulated and quiet, there was a wedding party that day, and we couldn’t hear anything from outside. The decor is more Protestant than Vatican opulent, which I prefer and feels more native to the region. I recommend getting dinner at Mayer’s but be prepared, it’s a 3 hour event.

A beautiful country retreat

The “Schloss” was run by a very professional team. Thoroughly enjoyed our four night stay in an historic property situated in beautiful and peaceful countryside. We did not have a car so it was necessary to book taxis as property several minutes walk from nearest town/restaurant. One comment that I feel is relative - do try and ascertain your guests’ expectations and abilities. Our room was on third floor (no lifts) due to age of property etc. one of us was 87 and we, because we can, walked up and down the quite steep stairs 3-4 times a day . We were offered accommodation on lower level when we arrived!! We looked upon it as “exercise”. !! You are sure to enjoy this delightful property in an oasis of beautiful and peaceful countryside. Needless to say we thoroughly enjoyed the cuisine. Thank you (especially Mickey)....

Private, cozy getaway

My wife and I and our doggy stayed at the Fischerhaus for three nights. We loved the privacy and seclusion that the Fischerhaus (cabin/cottage) offers—a true getaway. Did I mention an entire lake to ourselves? Also, heated floors are my new favorite thing. Despite being separate from the main Schloss (castle), housekeeping took excellent care of our room without intruding on our privacy. Breakfast was delicious. The staff was friendly and courteous. Overall, the stay was fantastic for all three of us. Highly recommend staying at this property; especially at the Fischerhaus.

Amazing experience at the castle! The territory is beautiful, its not located far from the city center but is very quiet - just what we needed during our vacation. The owner - Anette, went above and beyond to make our stay memorable. The highlight of this was her driving me to the train station herself on the day when we could not find any taxis available. I stayed in the room 32 which was one of the most beautiful rooms I ever got to stay in. The breakfast had everything we needed with fresh warm bread available every day. There is a sauna on premises which is great after active skiing. I'd definitely recommend Schloss Prielau!

We had the 2 bedroom suite for 1 night traveling through Bavaria. The property was beautiful with lots of charm. The beds were very comfy and the bathroom was very nice. Loved the decor of the hotel. Very short walk to the lake and pretty walk to the main area of Zell Am See where all the restaurants and shops are. The hotel was very quiet and peaceful. While it did not bother us, I'll warn you that there is no elevator in the hotel so bags will need to be carried up to upper floors. There is no one hanging out at the front desk past 5 or 6 pm, but they could be reached by phone if needed. We did not have any meals at the hotel, so can't comment on that. I'd definitely recommend this hotel for a peaceful stay in Zell Am See!

Charming property but simple rooms

The property is charming and well-located. However, there is no elevator or air-conditioning. The room was small. The room description was misleading: "Layout - Separate living room" -- I believed there would be a bedroom and a separate living room, i.e. two rooms. But the living room was a common, shared space outside the hotel room.
