JUFA Hotel Gitschtal

Very much a sports hotel, good for families.

We booked this room while driving from southern Europe to Germany as an interesting way point. This hotel offers two main things: beautiful rural scenery and a rustic yet modern feel. Unfortunately, these were not the priorities for our family. The room with five beds we booked was just that, a room with five beds and no room for much else other than a tiny table with four chairs. A small balcony could barely seat one person. Internet access was not available in the bedroom but only in the dining area. The hotel was noisy in the evening until midnight. Breakfast was buffet style with limited food options and a busy line of guests. When we wanted to check out late after just one day, staff did not want to reimburse us for the second night we had initially intended. The town itself offers one nice little restaurant with outside seating, but that was the only highlight of our stay. Overall, this hotel is highly over-priced for what it offers in the summer, which is just a convenient location for those who wish to explore Austrian pastoral beauty and nothing else.
