Our Reviews

Eva and her daughter Noa stayed at The Austrian Design Hotel in August 2019:

"Erst einmal nochmals Tausend Dank für den tollen Tip. Wir haben einen super Urlaub gehabt. Obwohl wir absolute Strandfans sind wollten meine Tochter Noa (5) und ich den Sommer mal in den Bergen verbringen, wussten aber nicht wohin. Da habe ich mich mal wieder an Ilonka gewendet. Sie hat mich wieder einmal super gut beraten. "Ihr müsst mal das Austrian Design Hotel probieren." Ich kann nur sagen: ein absoluter Volltreffer für uns. Sowohl meine Tochter wie auch ich hatten den perfekten Urlaub. Die Lage, die Einrichtungen, der Service, das Essen, alles war unschlagbar. 

Das Hotel bietet die Möglichkeit viele Aktivitäten zusammen mit den Kindern zu machen, kannst aber auch viel Zeit für dich selbst haben während dein Kind sich im Kids Club wie verrückt amüsiert. Der Kids Club ist unglaublich toll. Die Erzieherinnen sind engagierte, liebevolle, zuvorkommende Menschen die einen super Job mit den Kindern machen. 

Ein Beispiel: ich habe an den täglichen Yoga Stunden teilgenommen, mich im Spa entspannt .... und habe aber auch vieles mit Noa erlebt - tolle Wanderungen gemacht, bei vielen spannenden Aktivitäten (die das Hotel organisiert) mitgemacht. Wir sind sehr begeistert wiedergekommen und wollen auf jeden Fall auch mal im Winter dort hinfahren.

Ilonka, dir nochmals tausend Dank für deine Ratschläge, deine Hilfe und deine Professionalität."

 

Wes and his family stayed at the Austrian Design Hotel in May 2022: "We stayed at The Austrian Design Hotel at the beginning of June this year and it was absolutely fantastic. We have two young kids (both under 6) and they loved it, the kids club, the swimming pool and all the activities. The food is amazing and is flexible they even encourage you to make a sandwich at breakfast to take out for a mid morning snack when you're out and about. The mountains are incredible too and last but not least Ilonka helped me MASSIVELY with this holiday, we will book through her again for sure."

In the last few years, the town has enjoyed somewhat of a revival of tourism, and the town finds itself once again a hip place for artists to come and disconnect.

There is any number of snow activities to enjoy, along with the local thermal spas to explore. But this holiday-town isn’t just for winter, you can really enjoy it in the summer months too. Famous for its giant waterfalls and healing hot springs, there really is something to enjoy in Bad Gastein 365 days of the year. With a strong culture of music and the arts, Bad Gastein really is a holiday for the body and soul. If it’s good enough for the Empress of Austria, it’s good enough for us!
