The rooms were comfortable and warm, and the breakfast offered a lovely continental selection. The sauna and shower facilities were perfect after a tiring day of skiing. The hotel is conveniently located right across from the chairlift station and has a ski/gear room on the bottom floor. A hairdryer is also available in the bathroom if needed. I would happily return in the future—Gabi truly goes out of her way to make your stay enjoyable.
Персонал очень вежливый и внимательный, очень уютно и чисто, завтрак отличный. Местоположение очень удобное все рядом. Мы были очень довольны. Спасибо большое за прекрасный отдых.
We stayed 5 nights at this hotel. Great hospitality, location is perfect, only 5 min walking to the slopes, breakfast was great and also the facilities such as sauna. The room was a bit cold but we didn’t mind it, as we mainly stayed in during the night. Highly recommended!
Výborné místo. Pokoje čisté, snídaně, sauna supr. Výborná lokalita, hned vedle je sjezdovka.
Sehr freundliche und hilfsbereite Inhaberin. Leckeres Frühstück
Gäste werden hier herzlich empfangen und umsorgt. Wer morgens einen Wander- oder Ausflugstipp mitnehmen will, ist hier richtig. Die Zimmer und das Frühstück waren tadellos. Das Raurisertal ist ein wunderschönes Tal und von hier aus leicht zu erkunden (Bergbahn, Bus, einkaufen, Wanderwege, Minigolf, usw. alles fußläufig). An- und Abreise mit Bahn und Bus über den Bahnhof Taxenbach-Rauris ist sehr komfortabel. Für Vegetarier ist das kulinarische Angebot (abends ausgehen) in Rauris eher begrenzt, hier herrscht wie oft in den Alpen die traditionelle Küche vor.
The staff was so friedly and kind. There was a big selection of foods for breakfast. We had a beautiful time there in Rauris. The landscape is so stunning.
Die Lage der Pension ist ausgezeichnet, nicht direkt im Zentrum, aber doch sehr zentral. Ein Fluss lässt Straßenlärm nicht ins Haus, und doch ist man rasch bei Liften bzw. kann gut mit dem Rad losfahren! Die Chefin lebt ihren Beruf, das Frühstück wird täglich liebevoll erstellt und lässt keine Wünsche offen. Die Zimmer sind schön gestaltet und mit Balkon recht angenehm zum Verweilen! Parkplätze findet man rund ums Haus, im Keller gibt es sogar eine Sauna. Wir waren rundum zufrieden und können die Unterkunft sicher weiterempfehlen!!
Gabi, the host was extremely kind and helpful, helping us with all our special needs. The hotel worked perfectly well with a 3 months old. The sauna is also nice. The view from the balcony is unbeatable. National park card included, which is very convenient and cost efficient. Valid already on arrival day and also on departure day.
A delightful guest house run by a charming couple in an idyllic Alpine village.
I recently had the pleasure of staying at Hotel-Garni Weishof, and I can't say enough good things about it! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed by the friendly and attentive hosts who made me feel right at home. The guest house has been beautifully renovated, blending modern amenities with charming, rustic touches that create a cozy and inviting atmosphere. The comfortable beds ensured I had a restful sleep every night, and the thoughtful details, such as fresh flowers and complimentary snacks, made my stay even more special. The hosts went above and beyond to accommodate dietary preferences and always offered helpful suggestions for local attractions and dining spots. What truly sets this hotel apart is the genuine hospitality and warmth of the staff. Their dedication to providing an exceptional guest experience is evident in every interaction. I am already looking forward to my next visit.
Proximity to ski lift, supermarket, cut center Parking in front of the door Warm Reception and Support on Site Perfect Breakfast range Cleanliness
Excellent, cosy good value B@B. It was warm, spotlessly clean and really well situated for everything Rauris had to offer. We had teenage grandchildren and was ideal for us all. Gabby the host went out of her way to ensure a welcoming stay. Would definitely recommend.
Lage super, sehr sauber, Frühstück ausreichend
A have never written a review on here but I thought this place deserves a mention….. Me and Partner and Daughter (Age 7) arrived here End of Jan 24. We had been to Raurus last year but decided to go for B&B and eat out this year as we found it quite repetitive in another hotel last year. And fancied a change. From start to finish Gaby the owner was most welcoming. She couldn’t do enough for us. Unfortunately my daughter was in a ski accident and fractured her Ankle. Gaby rang the hospital and organised us a taxi to the hospital, she even let us stay in our room on check out day so my little girl wasn’t waiting around with her cast on. Breakfast was on until 10 am and Gaby ensured we were well fed every morning. The hotel is modern and clean throughout and has a communal area of comfy tables and sofas. Rauris is a small resort but has some lovely bars and restaurants, some even offer take seats so we had a couple of take aways and brought them back to the hotel a couple of nights. They even had beer in the fridge and a honesty bar. The rooms are all the same size, we managed with 3 of us. We had a balcony with a nice view that overlooked the red home run and chair lift so you could easily cross the road and go straight up the mountain. If you want a Hotel with just B&B and the option to eat out. Hotel-Garni Wieshof is an excellent choice.
Sehr schön und Gabi ist super zuvorkommend. Kann ich nur empfehlen. Frühstück ist auch alles da was man für den Tag braucht.
Die Nähe zum Skilift. Die gemütlichen Betten. Die Möglichkeit im Frühstücksraum auch abends zu sitzen und das Geschirr nutzen zu können.
Ein herzliches "Hallo" ist bei der Ankunft garantiert und erstreckt sich über den ganzen Aufenthalt. Frühstück ist reichhaltig und das Angebot ist groß. Das Frühstücks-Ei wird nach wunsch Gekocht. Die Zimmer sind sauber und komfortabel. Ein familiäre Umgebung wo man sich wohlfühlt. Hier ist alles super und wir fühlen uns wohl. Auf den nächsten Aufenthalt.
Wir sind seit über 20 Jahren Kunden u. treue Gäste des Wieshof in Rauris. Zunächst als Paar ohne Kinder, dann als Familie mit kleinen Kindern und heute mit zwei Teenagern (16 & 18 Jahren). Alle fühlen sich im gesamten Haus sehr wohl. Die Zimmer sind teilweise sehr schön renoviert und ausgestattet (etwas teurer) , aber auch die nicht aktuell renovierten Zimmer zu absolut fairen Preisen, sind absolut ok. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist vielfältig und reichhaltig mit frischen Brötchen & Brot, Müsli, Säfte und jeden Morgen von der charmanten Gastgeberin ein frisches Ei. Am Abend kann man nach einem anstrengenden Ski- u. Wandertag den funktionalen Saunabereich genießen.
Good. Fresh bread was delicious.
Wir waren von 9. bis 11. Oktober 2023 im Hotel-Garni Wieshof! Die Gastgeberin ist sehr nett und um die Gäste bemüht. Das Zimmer war sauber und schön eingerichtet. Das Frühstück reichlich und wirklich sehr gut. Wir kommen spätestens nächstes Jahr wieder! 100% zu empfehlen! Gerhard Fl.
Lekker net buiten het centrum. 10 minuutjes lopen. Daarmee parkeergelegenheid voor de deur en lekker weinig geluid.
מקום נקי, מסודר, חדר לא גדול אבל מתוכנן היטב ויש בו כל דבר שצריכים. ארוחת בוקר טובה מאוד. בעלת המלון גבי מאוד מאוד שרותית, עזרה בתכנון טיולים, הלכנו לפי ההמלצות שלה והינו מרוצים מאוד. תודה רבה לך גבי!
sehr schönes Hotel mit viel Liebe zum Detail, vom Frühstück bis zur Zimmer Ausstattung. Sehr gute und ruhige Lage, gute Verkehrsanbindung, Parkplatz vor der Tür. Sehr freundliche und bemühte Gastgeber.
Location was great with great view on the mountain
Sehr freundliche, engagierte Gastgeberin, welche ihre Arbeit liebt und lebt und mit vielen Tipps aufwarten kann. Wir waren in der Zwischensaison (Anfang Mai) dort und fanden Erholung pur. Ruhige Lage, Zimmer und Bad modern und gepflegt, Dank dem netten und flinken Zimmermädchen! Familiäre und ungezwungene Atmosphäre. Kurze Wege ins Ortszentrum (SPAR ca. 5 min. zu Fuß). Das Frühstücksbuffet mit selbstgemachter Marmelade, frischem Obst und Gemüse, Produkte aus der Region, TOP! WLAN vorhanden, Parkmöglichkeiten kostenlos am Haus. Kleine Lounge mit kühlen Getränken oder Nutzung der Terrasse mit Blick auf den wildromatischen kleinen Bach, der hinter dem Haus fließt. Schöne Gegend mit schneebedeckten Bergspitzen und im Tal grünen saftigen Wiesen mit glücklichen Kühen. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Ausflüge in die Umgebung (Salzburg, Gasteiner Tal, Ellmau und verschiedene Klamms etc.) Gastroempfehlung: Landgasthof Weixen, waren 3 mal dort, Fisch, regionale Spezialitäten, einfach unglaublich gut zu moderaten Preisen (10 von 10 Sternen), nette Gastgeber, Angelteich, Spielplatz und schöne Außenanlage. Wir waren auf Empfehlung in der Pension und wurden nicht enttäuscht. Das hat absoluten Wiederholungswert! Alles Gute für die Gastgeberin und bleiben Sie so wie Sie sind!!
Ein sehr schönes Hotel gefallen hat uns das sehr nette Personal ,die sehr ruhige Lage und die Super Aussicht
gutes Frühstück. Wir hatten genug davon. die Lage ist sehr gut, Rauris ist sehr gemütlich und ruhig. Und die Aussicht vom Balkon unseres Zimmers war super.
We enjoyed staying here the lady who runs it was very nice and accommodating if there was anything you need you just asked, the breakfast was very good and everything was fresh and boiled eggs on request. Just a couple of niggles was whilst we were there the towels were never changed and and no instructions in the room usually there is a list of things available, we didn't know what to do some places tell you leave towels on floor if new ones are needed but we don't like doing that we just assumed that midweek they would have been changed automatically, all that the maid did when coming in our room was to empty the bin. Rauris is a nice little place and we might possibly be back but next time we will go for half board as although the centre is only a ten minute walk away the choice of restaurants was quite small as many chose not to cater for outsiders only for residents, so very much limiting our options with us being on a bed and breakfast option, worth remembering if you are planning to stay in Rauris.
lovely B&B, wonderful owner, really made you feel at home, spotlessly clean, cleaner comes into your rooms everday, really nice hotel find & we will b sure to be back. about 5-10 mins walk to the main centre, ski bus stops just outside tho, and comes ever half hour. rooms really nice & warm, plenty of space for a family of 3 & nice big balcony, the shower is tiny, think some of the rooms have had new bathrooms, ours was one of the older ones but still complete fine really nice breakfast ever morning with fresh boiled eggs, she let us keep our room as our flight didn't leave till late, all in all a great b&b in a really nice small family friendly resort
The breakfast was wonderful and the host was very friendly and welcoming. very cute hotel with a lot of personal touches
Super Lage, sehr freundliche Besitzer, gemütliches Haus und tolles Frühstücksbuffet. Wir kommen wieder!
Really nice hotel, lovely view of mountain from the balcony, breakfast is very nice not loads of options but really good to start the day, shower is a little small for me however I’m a tall person. Other than that if you want a place to stay whilst skiing then you can’t really complain as well as the fact that the local restaurants are affordable and really nice for dinner and lunch.
Reichhaltiges Frühstücksbuffet Sauberkeit sehr nette Gastgeberin, welche immer gute Informationen und Tipps bzgl. Ausflüge geben konnte
Das Hotel ist ruhig gelegen, schöne Aussicht, Frühstück hat uns geschmeckt, auf Wunsch ein frisch gekochtes Ei. So konnten wir jeden Morgen frisch gestärkt zu unseren Wandertouren aufbrechen. Frau Strobl ist sehr nett und freundlich und konnte uns gute Tipps geben. Das Wetter zeigte sich von seiner besten Seite. Was will man mehr?
Sehr nette Gastgeber, tolles Frühstück und immer richtig gute Wandertips bekommen👍🏻
Beautiful little place in the Austrian Alps, our host Gaby was very friendly and helpful and the breakfast was also good.
Příjemný malý hotýlek. Paní Gabi moc milá, ochotně vše poradí či už ohledně výletů nebo i jiných věcí. Určitě doporučuji.
Kommen jedes Jahr nach Ostern für ein paar Tage Tennis Training. Nette Familie. Machen alles möglich ☺️
Sehr nette Frühstückspension. Eine sehr aufmerksame Gastgeberin. Ein ausgiebiges Frühstücksbuffet.👍👍
Familiär und herzlich geführt, Gastgeberin sehr symphatisch! Wir hatten zwei Zimmer nebeneinander, welche auch super über die Terrasse verbunden waren. Zimmer sind großteils schön renoviert, einzig ein Bad war nicht das neueste, aber ich denke, das steht sicher auf der To-Do-Liste. Das ganze Haus ist sehr gepflegt und sauber! Frühstücksbuffet ist liebevoll hergerichtet und bietet für alle etwas! Wir hatten eine sehr schöne Zeit und es hat uns richtig gut gefallen!
Sehr gute familiär geführte Frühstückspension mit tollem Frühstück und sehr guten Preis Leistungsverhältnis. Komme gerne wieder.
Neuvěřitelné rodinná a přátelská atmosféra díky milé majitele! Skvělé snídaně.
Friendliness of the staff, location of the hotel, cleanliness of the rooms, parking availability
Sehr nettes Hotel, saubere Zimmer, nette Chefin. Waren zum zweiten mal hier und werden wieder kommen! Preis/Leistung hervorragend.
A lovely little hotel just on the edge of town. We had a top floor room in the back of the property and had a lovely view of the mountain. Breakfast was good for a continental breakfast and the host was always friendly. It was just a short walk to the ski bus outside hotel The only thing that I could say I would have liked is a kettle in our room so we could have a cup of tea without carrying it up 3 flights of stairs. The sauna downstairs was also nice but be aware that you are required to be naked.
Dit jaar was onze jaarlijkse ‘mannen’ skivakantie de keuze gevallen op pension Wieshof. Veertien kamers en die van ons waren alle ruim van opzet en voorzien van drie bedden die we weliswaar als einzelzimmer hadden geboekt. Gaby is een bijzonder sympathieke gastvrouw die alles voor haar gasten doet en kennelijk met plezier het pension runt. Kamers zijn allemaal keurig netjes en de rest van het huis ziet er ook keurig verzorgd uit. Prima ontbijt en met een paar minuutjes lopen zit je in de skilift. 10 minuten lopen van het dorpscentrum waar je keuze heb uit verschillende restaurants, de ene helaas beter dan de andere. Mooie sauna in kelder aanwezig en ook een zitje in de ontbijtruimte waar je ‘s avonds nog wat drankjes kunt nemen die je dan op een lijst dient te zetten. Staat ook een apparaat met koffie specialiteiten tbv ontbijt, maar ook avonds kun je tegen muntinworp koffies nemen. Prijs/kwaliteit was voor de pauschale week meer dan goed. Zeker aan te bevelen.
Went for our honeymoon. Hotel owner was amazing always friendly and made sure we had everything we needed (sorry I cannot remember her name for the life of me). Rooms were nice and cosy with a really nice view of the mountains around you. Good breakfast. Cannot complain about anything, we really enjoyed our stay!
Si quieres sentirte como en casa, este definitivamente es tu lugar. Agradable y acogedor, se encuentra fuera del centro del pueblo, lo que lo hace aún más tranquilo y silencioso. Para ir a las pistas de ski, puedes ir andando (como unos 10mn). Tiene espacio para aparcar en la puerta, almacenaje para el equipo y wifi. El desayuno es variado: quesos, yogures, frutos secos, tomates... y Gaby es absolutamente encantadora, hará lo que esté en su mano para que la estancia sea increíble. Tiene un pequeño saloncito, dónde puedes tomar una cerveza, una copa de vino... realmente, te sientes como en casa. No podemos esperar al año que viene para repetir.
Definitely recommend, great location, 5 mins walk to the pretty town and a further 5 to the main lift. This place has a wonderful host who looks after you so well. Rooms were clean, wifi good and breakfast generous. We would stay again.
Highly recommended! Very welcoming and helpful English speaking hostess, does an amazing job. Clean, lovely rooms in a peaceful location. Five minute walk to ski lift. Loads of parking. Lovely breakfast. Family friendly.
Ich bin zum dritten Mal hier, weil es mir hier sehr gefällt. Das reichhaltige Frühstücksbüffet finde ich hervorragend gut. Das Zimmer ist dieses Mal besonders schön, weil der Balkon nach Westen und Süden zeigt. Von hier aus lässt sich das Rauriser Tal wunderbar erkunden.
Goede prijs, goede ligging in de vallei, behulpzame mensen, ontbijt ok, onze kamer: mooi uitzicht, maar lawaai van de straat
Stayed here for one week for skiing. Good location for the ski lifts - 5 min walk to stairlift or 2min walk to bus stop. The host was friendly and very helpful. Very clean and the room was a good size,shower is tiny though. Had amazing views of the mountains from room. The slopes were really good and great for beginners.
Lovely quiet b&b. Comfortable rooms, and good breakfast to set you up for a days skiing.
Всё было хорошо, а высокий сезон снял номер на 4 дня, а не с субботы до субботы, как у всех в округе
The Hotel Garni-Wieshof is a very nice small hotel and it’s in a great location for the Kreuzboden ski chair lift. The room we stayed in was of a reasonable size and it had a balcony. The beds were very comfortable, and the bathroom was very clean & modern. Breakfast in the lovely dining area had a wide choice of meats, cheese & bread rolls, jams & cereals and the coffee is really nice. In the lower ground floor there is a ski locker room and a nice Finnish sauna, infrared cabin, peaceful relaxation area & showers. There’s no bar in the hotel but the owners do have a honesty box bar with a selection of alcoholic & non-alcoholic drinks. If you’re a skiing beginner this hotel is located 10-15 minutes walk away from the main ski school meeting point & gondola. The ski bus stop is just a short walk away but I’d recommend the walk through the lovely village of Rauris, as it has some of the most beautiful buildings in Austria. The hotel owners are lovely people and the chamber maid is very nice, extremely polite & helpful. Overall it’s a fantastic little hotel and I have stayed here on several occasions.
We've stayed 2 nights in Hotel Garni Wieshof and really enjoyed it (1 adult, 2 kids). We've had a room with a balcony facing Rauris with a view on the mountains and the church. The environment is nice and calm with several restaurants on walking distance. The room is clean and the beds are comfortable. The room was big enough to host the three of us and we used it only for sleeping. After a warm day, it cooled down at night to a comfortable temperature (perfect for sleeping). Every morning a tasteful breakfast is served with plenty of choice (also for kids). In the morning we were welcomed by Gaby Strobl for a little chat, but also for tips what to do in the environment. The Sommercard for the national park is included when booking a room. With this card you get several attractions free or with discounts (e.g. Grossglockerstrasse Alpin road). This hotel is perfect to explore the environment and to have a relaxed stay after a day of sightseeing/walking. My kids were so enthusiastic that they want to stay a second time. I would definitely recommend this hotel.
Hatten wieder schöne Urlaubstage, waren im Februar schon eine Woche dort. Gastgeberin sehr nett, Frühstück u. Zimmer alles okay. Danke, wir kommen wieder!
Wir verbrachten einen kurzen Skiurlaub in Rauris. Im Wieshof wurden wir im modernen und sauberen "Deluxe" Zimmer untergebracht. Bauartbedingt ist das Badezimmer etwas klein - für uns kein Problem. Die Gastgeber sind freundlich und zuvorkommend. Das ganze Hotel hat einen sehr familiären Charakter, was uns sehr gut gefiel. Sauna und Infrarotkabine werden auf Wunsch für den Gast eingeschaltet. Der Skilift Kreuzboden ist zu Fuß (mit Skistiefeln) sehr gut zu erreichen. Wir kommen wieder. :)
My son and I stayed for a ski week in March, and were very happy in Wieshof. Clean, warm and an attentive staff. A good breakfast every day, and we did not miss the fry-ups. Yes, the shower cubicle in the room was small, but the shower in the basement sauna was powerful. No problem in returning another time. The free ski bus stopped nearby. Thanks Gaby.
Just got back from a lovely week at the Wieshof. Gaby was pleasant and helpful. The breakfast was very nice with plenty of cold choices and the offer of a boiled egg, the room and balcony were great and the location was good for town and to access the chair lift which was a 5 - 10 minute walk. The ski bus passed close by too. I didn't get round to using the sauna but went for a peek and the relaxation area was surprisingly large and attractive. I really can't fault the Wieshof. The only thing was that the free wi-fi wasn't great in the rooms but it worked in the downstairs areas.
Best view, good location, friendly and helpful host. Clean and warm room. Sauna, coffee, decent breakfast.
We stayed for one night, it is very nice hotel with clean and pretty new rooms, you get also a breakfast in the price.. And the lady at the reception was very friendly and kind to us. We can highly recommend this place :)
Just returned from a wonderful visit to Rauris where we stayed with Gaby in the Wieshof which ticked all the boxes. Room was very bright clean and comfortable. The breakfast each morning was typical European fare but the availability of a freshly boiled egg to your liking set you up for a mornings skiing. The property is very well situated close to lifts and a short walk to the centre of Rauris. Overall a good experience and I would have no hesitation on staying in the Wieshof on a return visit to Rauris.
We stayed at the hotel for a week in February. This guest house was well situated for the slops with the ski bus a 1 minute walk which takes you to the gondola or chairlift, or a 10 min walk to the chair lift (this was in ski boots so we were slow!). All the staff were very friendly and helpful, and although this is basic B & B the rooms were clean and all that you needed. I would recommend staying here.
Very friendly and helpful owner Gaby and staff. Clean convenient for chairlift 10minutes walk behind hotel or skibus pickup 2minutes walk infront of hotel. Rooms perfect temperature not too warm. Can actually sleep under the quilt without over heating.got best nights sleep. Highly recommend.
Gaby and her family were always very helpful and friendly, super hosts. We stayed here from 6th jan to 13th jan 2018 to ski. Room was an ample size for 2 people with good sized wardrobe and the temperature of both room and hotel especially at breakfast was perfect, most hotels are very warm for skiing so when you put ski gear on you're overheated but not here. Hotel was always warm enough and gear dried on radiators even after getting soaked skiing all day on tuesday with part snow and sleety rain coming down. We normally wake up during night in other hotels because of heat in room but not here, temperature was perfect. Roads outside were very quiet aswell so got best nights sleeping ever at ski resort. Rooms were always kept immaculately clean. Be aware there is no safe available but same is true in kristall hotel which serves dinner as well but which is a lot hotter though has fantastic long bar with plenty seating. This is situated 200 yards from wieshof and you are welcome to go in and order drinks as visitors. Be aware the breakfast doesn't have sausages, beans and bacon.No english fry breakfast but has usual cold meats, bread, cheese and corn flakes plus good coffee and tea maker. All very tasty. Hint - if you want a bacon sandwich go through town on way to slopes and stop in cake shop on right hand side of street, this has wonderfully light cakes, drinks, soup and hot breakfasts even pizzas. Don't be fooled into thinking only serves cakes as they're all can see from street. We found superb restaurant on way through town run by croatian family called stadl restaurant, food best ever eaten on holiday, massive variety and also does ice cream sundaes. Ski bus picks you up just 100 yards from door to take you to and from slopes every half hour or you can walk to chair lift on tree lined steeper side of mountain, looked like a 400 yard walk plus crossing road, we always took bus which first went to chair lift and then to nursery slopes where gondola took you up to blue side mountain and another white gondola took you to very top, situated about 1000 yrds skiing down few hills on right side mountain after getting out the top of blue gondola. Tremendous views from top mountain. Restaurants all served good variety of tasty food. You can ski across from blue side to chair lift side on path ways to a restaurant where there is a massive new 10 seater gondola to take you up to top of this side of the mountain which has a tremendously long ski down to bottom of chair lift on tree lined slopes, great for intermediates, experts and confident beginners or you can stop at two restaurants along way to rest. The top restaurant of which has a pathway back down and across to blue side of mountain connecting to first blue restaurant up mountain on blue gondola. Will definitely stay here again given opportunity. Thank you Gaby and family for wonderful holiday stay. Chris and Amanda.
We stayed for a week overy New Years and had a wonderful time. The family atmosphere and warm welcome were fantastic and it was a great base for out week of ski and snow boarding. The owners made us feal really welcome and we loved the honesty bar after returning home each day for our use.
La proprieteria gentilissima e molto cordiale, parla italiano. Pulizie ottime e letti nuovi e comodissimi
Sehr moderne saubere Zimmer und gutes Frühstück -Preis Leistung passt.Sehr gemütliche Frühstückspension mit Zugriff auf gekühlte Getränke im Aufenthaltsraum. 😊
I found the Wieshof to be more guesthouse than hotel due to it's size and lack of evening meal option. However what they do offer is a very nice comfortable B and B as we would call it in the U.K. The breakfast was typically continental which I love, a great variety of cooked meats and cheeses, crusty rolls, boiled eggs and of course strong coffee! The rooms were immaculately clean and comfortable although I did find the shower cubicle rather small, but maybe not all rooms are the same. The staff were very friendly, spoke good English and would seemingly do anything to ensure everything is just right for your stay.
Only an hour South of Salzburg this little gem of a hotel is run by Gaby and her family, in the heart of Rauris. First of all we arrived by Car and parking was plentiful. I would class this as boutique hotel, Small and quaint which is decorated and kept immaculately by the owners. Wieshof Garni has a real home from home feel and such a relaxed atmosphere. The room again was smart and clean and tastfully decorated, with a nice bathroom with shower along with a balcony with fantastic views to the mountains. There is a lounge area with tea and coffee making facilities and even a fridge where you can grab a beer, Wine or Scnapps. Just perfect. Breakfast is in the same area. Theres was all sorts of food availablke from fresh fruit, cheese and meats to Breads, cereals and fruit juice. More than enough choice for most I would say. After a hard days skiing, you can head down to the basement area where there is a relaxtion room, Sauna etc. Again tastefully decorated and Immaculate. The hotel is just across the road from one of the chairlifts upto the mountain, about a 1 minute drive to the main gondola station or 15 minute walk. There is a ski pass that passes close by as well and is close to all of the shops and restaurants. All in all this hotel was perfect for us. Not too big, not too small with super friendly hosts whi were ready to help with any requests. I cant rate them highly enough. We will be back for sure.
We booked two days before departure with Crystal and what a good move it proved to be! We absolutely loved the charming Garni Weishof. Our room was overlooking the Kreuzboden lift station and mountains, superb. This was our first stay , in winter, on a bed & breakfast arrangement and really enjoyed eating in several restaurants in the village. Breakfast was lovely and Gabi, very attentive. The only negative for us was the very small shower cubicle, but we managed. The whole place was spotless and the sauna very welcome after a days walking.
We were lucky enough to spend 1 week in Rauris to enjoy the plentiful snow and gleaming sunshine on the slopes. Hotel Garni Wieshof is a true Austrian gem. Breakfast is ample with a selection of cold meats, cheeses, yogurts, cereals and locally baked bread. Delicious filtered coffee every morning works a treat.
We stayed at the Wieshof mid January on a last minute Crystal Ski holiday. We originally booked up to stay in Bulgaria but after reading some reviews, we quickly cancelled last minute and found this little Gem in Austria. The Wieshof is everything you need for a fantastic ski holiday and more! Obviously, this place is labelled as a 3 star bed and breakfast but the service they provide makes it so much more than that. The politeness from everyone who worked there was amazing and they all just made you feel very welcome. The room itself was immaculate. Very spacious, lovely view (which overlooked the chair lift on the Kreuzboden side of the mountain), big tv, comfy bed, everything you'd want after a long day on the slopes. Also it was always very warm inside, which is a god send when temperatures were sometimes as low as -14 degrees. The breakfast is suited for everyone's liking. Yes, it's a traditional continental breakfast so like your hams, cheese and fruits, but there were also many different types of bread and loads of cereals. Also, Gabi (the owner) would always ask if you wanted anything else in particular e.g a boiled egg? The town of Rauris is absolutely amazing! We were a little skeptical about going with never hearing of the town before, but we did not look back. We're even looking at booking up again next year at the same place. The town is very small, you can walk from one side to the other within around 15 minutes. There are numerous places to go out for something to eat that suits everyone's needs. My other half being a vegetarian we were a bit iffy but we never grumbled once. Loads of pizzas, pastas, steaks and more. There are few different pubs where you can go out for a quiet one, or even join the apre skiers after a day of skiing for a not so quiet one. There is a super market in the centre of the town which has literally everything you could need, so don't worry if you forget any essentials. The slopes were some of the best I've ever skied on. Get the main gondola up the Hochalm side of the mountain, ski down a little and then get the new silver gondola right to the top of the mountain, you will not be disappointed. The view is breathtaking and the skiing itself is astonishing. We had such a laugh all week just taking our times down the mountain. I'm an intermediate skier and my other half is just past a beginner, and we had an amazing time. All in all this is the place to go, a little hidden gem. I couldn't complain about absolutely anything. If you get chance for a little break or a long stay, please consider visiting the town of Rauris, you will not be disappointed. This is a prime example of the best things come in small packages. Best holiday I've been on in a long time.
