"Modernes, sehr gut ausgestattetes Appartement mit fußläufigem Weg zur Talstation. Toller Blick auf das Skigebiet. "
"Overall the apartment was great: nicely kitted out with separate living area from bedrooms. It is centrally located so not in a quiet area but very convenient too (5 mins to nearest lift, station, bus stop). Only issue I had was getting a broken key card on arrival."
"Väldigt centralt. Lugnt område förutom tåget. Inte mkt att göra åt."
"This is the second time we have stayed at Villa Julia. The apartment is very spacious and the location can’t be beat - close to the central area, the Bahnhof, the walkway around the lake - we could walk everywhere! It is next to the train tracks but the trains are electric and quiet. Any extra needs were taken care of immediately. When we return to Zell Am See, we shall rent this place again."

"Vi var 6 personer på skiferie som bodde i denne flotte leiligheten! Meget flott leilighet som var godt utrustet og som har strålende beliggenhet i et rolig område. Dagligvarebutikk 100 meter fra leiligheten og noen restauranter i nærområde. Anbefales på det sterkeste!"

"The hotel is located about a 20-minute walk from the lake. The room we got had a balcony that faced the roof of the inner courtyard. The room was spacious, and lacked electrical outlets for charging phones. The hotel has free parking and free internet. Breakfast is mostly served at the table by order from the menu."
"Wonderful centrally located hotel. We had a lovely stay. Staff were helpful in explaining the Summer Card for visitors in the region"
"Friendly staff, very helpful reception desk, clean rooms great amenities."
"Great little boutique hotel in the heart of Zell am See with awesome roof deck and REALLY nice rooms with scenic views."
"Great stay in this beautiful area of Austria. First the positives( there were many).. The welcome from reception staff at the hotel was perfect. Hotel is in a fantastic location and is visually very attractive and well maintained. Hotel is very Austrian , charming with lots of character. Hotel offers lots of activities, swimming pool, fitness, health spa etc etc. We hired e bikes directly from the hotel for a very reasonable rate of 35 euro. We made the 9okm round trip to the beautiful Lofa without any issues. Staff were extremely attentive. Breakfast was excellent with lots of choice. Our room was of a good size,complete with sofa and small balcony. Room was cleaned to a high standard every day. Negatives. No air conditioning in the room(it was in the middle 30s during the entirety of our 4 day visit). I was really surprised to find a hotel of this quality didn't have air conditioning. Fan was provided which didn't really assist in managing the temperature. No shower screen or curtain when showering in the bath. The floor was constantly wet unless you sat in the bath to shower(rather defeats the point of a shower). No tea and coffeee in the room. The fridge in the room was very poor and hardly cooled anything. I would have loved to give the hotel 5 stars has we had an amazing stay in the stunning Zell Am See region. Hotel is fantastic but missing out on a few "room basics' at this price point. Great stay as part of a 14 day trip around Austria."
"Great hotel and great service. Would definitely go back here if I were to visit zell am see ever again 😊"
"It was terrible to get reach to hotel by car. It was so much like a maze."
"Rooms were spacious. Breakfast was great, lots of variety. Plenty of fresh fruit and veg. You can sit on the terrace. Staff were very friendly dot and helpful. We had the sea view which was nice but noisy due to trains running through the night. Maybe best to book Mountain View. Hotel is close to the spa and town centre. Great location."
