This is our 3rd time staying at Rosentalerhof and I’m confident we’ll never stay anywhere else in Hinterglemm as it gets better every year. Caters for every type of traveller and their service and facilities are second to none. Martin and Andrea are the perfect hosts and know exactly the type of customer they are catering for. Reception/Bar/Restaurant: A lovely casual space where you always get service with a smile. Bar prices aren’t silly hotel prices (the beer is some of the cheapest in resort) and although we’ve only visited in the winter season, I’m looking forward to trying the pool service in the summer. There’s even an indoor soft play for the kids. Rooms: Between our group, we’ve stayed in most of the rooms in the main hotel. All are well equipped, comfortable and have mega hot showers (important after a cold day in the mountains!). They even provide unlimited hair and body wash and hand soap (rather than the usual miniatures most hotels provide) in the bathrooms. The majority have stunning views of the mountains as an added bonus. Food: The half board option that is offered as standard in the winter is exceptional. In 21 evening meals over the last 3 years, I cannot recall a single bad meal. There’s always plenty of salad choice from the buffet and the main course options are always great (the beef cheek and mash this year was one of the best things I’ve ever eaten). If I had to nitpick, although always nice, the desserts aren’t always my first choice, but that’s because I’m greedy and have a sweet tooth. Breakfast isn’t something I can find fault with, however. Plenty of fruit, freshly baked bread, unlimited coffee (of various options) and juices; scrambled egg and bacon, along with a daily choice of different Austrian sausages, boiled eggs, various baked bread….and that’s before even mentioning the plentiful choice of cereals, yoghurt and the incredible homemade Muesli (which is a sort of overnight oats thing that tastes amazing). Oh and not to mention Andrea’s homemade fruit crumble which sometimes appears) Facilities/Amenities: Where to begin…huge heated boot and ski room to dry your stuff every day (even heated drying lockers if stuff is really wet). The heated outdoor pool and sauna/Steam room is a welcome option at the end of the day. There’s a relaxation room and even a separate naked relaxation area if that’s what floats your boat. Lift passes for the mountain can be purchased at reception to save queuing at the lifts and there’s a small gym as well. There’s not much they haven’t thought of and in the summer, its location means it’s right next to the mini golf course and children’s play park. What makes all of this a winning formula is that the hotel’s pricing is extremely reasonable. Although Martin made a conscious decision to not have his hotel officially star rated, you are essentially paying 3* prices for (at least) 4* facilities. It’s not the cheapest option for accommodation in Saalbach-Hinterglemm but it’s
