THE HOTEL IS NOTHING LIKE THE PICTURE.
We got to the property early around noon and found no one at the reception area and as directed used the bell. A young person with his mouth full of food came to show us a sign that said check in is a 3.00pm. We walked to the small. town to have lunch when we came back a lady this time a gave us a room that was not what we had picked everything was wrong with this room we showed her the reservation and she said we are sorry this is the room we have available now. We stayed that one night it was horrible we left at 5.00 am unable to sleep because we had insects in our room. Sept 19 we showed at our next hotel and they graciously took us one night ahead of our reservation. We want Seehaus Family Leifer of Sankt Wolfgang im Salzkammergut to returns our money as they did not fulfill their part of the bargain.

Misleading description: The panoramic room has one window facing a corner and another window facing the neighbour’s balcony. You end up having one real view over the lake. Unacceptable surcharge for basic room cleaning: We had to ask about getting our room cleaned. They told us we had to put a sign on the door for the room to be cleaned. Then on check out, we got a 45 euros surcharge for cleaning. It turns out there is no included change of sheets and towels, even for longer stays (5 nights). The explanation we received was that it was because we booked with Expedia and that the booking didn’t cover the cleaning (they also failed to mention this surcharge when we asked). Lack of proactive communication: Everything we had to figure on our own. How to get the room cleaned (but see issue above), how to get bread, where things were, etc. Good location and view: besides all the annoyances, we enjoyed our stay. The place is not too far and not too close to the busy town (for our taste), and the lake is gorgeous from this angle. No AC: It was hot during our stay. Whether we could open our window at night was contingent on who were our neighbours. It worked out ok, except one night where we had a noisy one and had to keep the windows closed to sleep. Overall: We enjoyed our stay, but won’t return. The smaller issues about comms were ok, but the limited view, the surprise extra charge for basic cleaning, along the high price of the room left a bad feeling.

Excellent location, with room overlooking the lake. Seating was available in the garden to be able to take our own breakfast to enjoy outside. Across the road from the hotel was a private garden area with a jetty. Sun lounges and umbrellas were available along with canoes and paddle boards to use. The town centre was only a short walk away with plenty of shops, bars and places to eat. Would definitely go back to St Wolfgang and to this hotel.

We arrived 5:30pm, within the limit of checking time, and the front entrance was locked, nobody attended the front desk. 10 mins later when a hotel guess exit, we gained entrance and ringed the dell at the front desk for another 10 mins, nobody attended. We went out again and at the far end of the entrance stair, a notice listed few names and the phone no. to call for help. We tried 1st & 2nd, no answer and the third answered and came within 4 mins. She apologized and was helpful to show us our room. That wasn't a nice experience. Any international guess may not be so handy to have a mobile phone to communicate a local no. Even he can, international roaming may be very high. Besides the bad experience in checking in, all other parts of our stay was fine. Starting with the hotel located in a quiet area yet restaurants and main streets of St Wolfgang can be reached by 5-10 mins walk. The famous uphill train and the ferry are just 2 mins away, The room assigned was good size with partial lakeview balcony. The kitchenette was completed and functionable for those who intend to prepare their own breakfast/meal as this hotel has no restaurant and not offering breakfast. The beds and linen are clean and comfortable. We wish we have enough time to relax in their private beach, regretfully we only stay 1 night which was too rush. Forget about the mishappening in check in, if we shall return to St Wolfgang, the hotel is one of our first choice.

Honestly, this was just so perfect. We booked super last minute (two days before) a reasonable rate for the lake view double room. I emailed the hotel to say that we would be arriving after check in and Magdalena was easy to talk to and explained the key safe directly outside the reception door. Parking was spacious, key safe easy to use and our room was perfect. Clean, loads of space and a big balcony. We were late to check out, when I went to reception to pay a fee Magdalena explained that we could stay as late as we liked for free as it was not busy at this time. We were SO grateful. Short walk into town, beautiful village and lake. Absolutely no complaints. Will come again! Thank you.

DISAPPOINTED
The location is nice and the apartment was clean enough but we had reserved for 3 persons/ two beds! When we arrived (late) the second bed did not have any sheets or covers!!! Not enough towels in the bathroom!!! We used the available towels to sleep on!! Next day on check out... they realized their mistake.. still we had to pay for cleaning!! It’s not about the money but about the gesture!

Hi there! Sorry about this circumstance. My assistant told me, that she forgot to prepare the 3rd bed. Sorry about that. I wouldn't have charged you with the fees if I had known about that error of us. Please accept my apology. I am always reachable via cell phone, email or Whats App, I would have loved to prepare a 3rd bed for you myself. No matter what time you are calling. Please send me an email, so I can refund you the fee. Thank you.

Very basic, 0 for hospitality
We were disappointed as there was no one to greet us, we were given an entry code and figured out how to let ourselves in. So, quite impersonal. Good location and clean but for this price they could make an effort to make it nicer. The rooms are very sterile (all white and no decoration). They sure were there for check out time but never asked anything about our stay.

I am very sorry that you didn't feel comfortable in my house. Although I am not always present in the reception, I am always reachable by phone and text messages. Seehaus Familie Leifer is a selfservice house and no hotel with 24h reception. Thank you very much for your honest reply. When people get the code for the room key, the waitingtime for check in is way shorter, than waiting for me, since I live 10 min away. Its a smart solution to give the gueast the possibilty to check in anytime and don't have to wait.

Great location but fair service
The location is great, close to the lake and city centre. It’s a self-service hotel so don’t except too much, the bed wasn’t comfortable and pillows were old. I requested for early check out online but no one reply, after leaving hotel 3 hours I was asked for cleaning fee and city tax. I didn’t request for cleaning and I think the city tax should be charged once I check in.

BEST VIEW! Amazing service!
We had the BEST experience! The location was PERFECT - so close to everything. The owners were warm, kind, friendly and VERY helpful! Our apartment was great and the VIEW of the mountains/water was spectacular. I loved the attention to detail in the decor - the headboard on our bed was the EXACT same pattern/shape as the mountain view across the lake. The town was one of the HIGHLIGHTS of our entire 3 week vacation. I fell in love with everything about this place. Definitely a place I would LOVE to visit again and stay at this hotel! With the warm weather, we also enjoyed using the paddle boards and other water items and loved our own little neighborhood "swan" that would swim along with us! A short 2 block walk to the train and short walk to the more traveled side of town with your pick of shops and restaurants. If you want a wonderful get-a-way in a quaint hotel/apartment, you MUST STAY HERE!
