We stayed 2 nights at the Rogner Bad Blumau Hotel and also visited the thermal baths. We are terribly disappointed and would never go back. Pro - Very nice staff - Therme - Well organized - Clean Con - The Therme is anything but a wellness oasis. You lie everywhere like a sardine -> you can rather imagine it as a huge swim-up bar. We mostly found loungers, even if they were in the hallway. We didn't find a lounger in the sauna area and it wasn't a lounger with "only" a towel that you could remove. In fact, all the beach chairs were used. - The thermal bath is old and not modern at all. You can tell that the spa is 25 years old. Everything is loveless. No attention is paid to details. Sometimes something hangs down here and there or is broken. - The hotel is worth a maximum of 3* for us. The doors are colorful and reminiscent of a youth hostel. The paths are very poorly signposted. The hotel is huge and you often end up not knowing where to go. More signs would be appropriate here. It is pointed out everywhere how organic everything is and that the food comes from the surrounding area. Both breakfast and dinner were terrible. It didn't taste good. At breakfast, not even the limp organic bread tasted good. The jam wasn't good, the scrambled eggs looked disgusting. No attention is paid to the obligation to wear a mask. The guests ignore the mask requirement and the employees do not point it out either, although the rules are signposted everywhere. In the morning and in the evening there was a mass of people standing at the buffet without a mask. It reminded us of a cheap, bad holiday in Spain on the Costa Brava. The clothes and the level of the guests is not ours either. Dinner with a cap, etc. Even if there were young guests, we noticed the pensioners more. Basically, we don't go on vacation to places where there are too many retirees. Dinner was terrible too. There was no separate menu with e.g. non-alcoholic cocktails. The waiter only listlessly told us which juices were available. The food is over salted and/or tasteless. The fish tasted like disgusting sponge. From our point of view, the chef is a disaster when the food comes out of the kitchen like that. For us, these 2 nights were a waste of money. If at all, we would only recommend the thermal baths for a day trip, but definitely not the hotel. But the entrance fee of 49 euros for a day ticket is also not appropriate for us. On the way back we also saw a bit more of the area around Bad Blumau. For us this is the ugliest corner of Austria. Since we are often in Tyrol, there is no comparison.
