Schloss Pichlarn

The hotel really met our expectations! We went for two nights to escape the pre-christmass stress and relax a bit. There were some minor defects in otherwise perfect impression, but more on that later. The whole hotel from the location, lobby, restaurant all the way to your room are very warm and cozy. It really has the lavish vibe to it, something that feels special. Personell is very nice and professional. Rooms are spacious, clean and full of light. Definately get a room with a view into the valley, the experience of waking up and looking out on the Grimming mountain is a second-to-none! The only thing a little annoying were the lights in the room - we found no way to keep just some of them on, so either it was dark or full light parade on. But again, nothing too bad. Overall dining experience was very good. They are on a verge of fine-dining, but staying there on purpose. The 4-way menu if filling and profesionally designed. Not to mention they grow their own herbs, use only BIO-grade ingredients and cooks really know what they are doing. For the breakfast bufet the same applies, whatever you look for - there it is! I especially recomend their Egg Benedict with pumkin oil and seeds! The only slight let-down was the coffee. Breakfast coffee, I get it. Comes from machine and gives you the kick you seek. But in the lobby bar you only get a mediocre Austrian Julius Meinl coffee, which really doesn't meet the expectations. Moving on to the wellness and pool area. All good Saunas are generally OK, however both steam.baths are made of plastic and it really has the 'plasticky' feel. Also there is no cool-down pool, only showers, which really is a shame. Other than that the general hotel area is amazing, you really are inside a medival castle areal. Now to some things that were not really OK, but nothing experience ruining. First - we ordered a Junior Suite. When we got to the room, the bed headbord was torn away and it looked like someone just left it like that. Something you don't really expect to see... But they changed our room no questions asked. Second thing was a stain on a bath-robe. Also something you don't expect. But to end on a positive note - we definately will return and I would recommend this hotel to anyone looking for relaxing vacation with high quality food and incredible environment.

My goodness I didn't want to leave this castle. It was absolutely breathtaking when driving up, entering, and staying there. The staff was always helpful and accomadating to whatever we needed. Our food experience was wonderful the food was so tasty and filled us to just right and not overfilling, and several seating rooms. The spa was so relaxing swimming in and outdoor, jacuzzi as well in and outside. My wife was treated really well by the masseuse. Unfortunately didn't gold and not enough snow for skiing, just means we have to come back 🤣🤣. Highly recommend the tower room, we had a fire place that they lit for us, and so much space for a fair price. When I say we didn't want to leave we did not want to leave lol.

We just came back and had a great experience visiting the hotel and area. Ideal to combine days in the snow and staying in a luxuruous place with 5 star facilities including fantastic swimming pools, hottubs and wellness. We will consider coming back next year. Hotel service and staff are fantastic, expectations are exceeded. 4 stars because there is room for improvement in the service of the restaurant
