Difficult to answer because we left early because of the heat - especially the tropical nights. This was not the fault of the hotel and the owners were very sympathetic and understanding. It is not reasonable to expect air con in older properties in areas of the lakes and mountains where normally the temperatures drop away at night. But we did miss Rollos or shutters on our south facing windows and a fly screen on say one opening window would be an excellent compromise. There were breakfast cultural differences - I am used to eggs cooked to order and I missed a soft boiled egg at breakfast (there were hard boiled and dry scrambled). But there is an extensive cold buffet including cakes which were enjoyed by my Austrian husband. The absence of fresh fruit juices was perhaps a more serious omission. Even those from concentrate would I think be preferable to a machine which temperamentally mixed a fruit syrup (?) with water. On the other hand the staff at breakfast were friendly and welcoming and I was greeted in enthusiastic Italian every morning! A smile and a greeting can go a long way to compensate for any minor deficiencies. Anything else we might add must be relative to the class and cost of the hotel. You do not go to a three star hotel and then say you did not like the absence of a gourmet restaurant or an olympic swimming pool. The rooms do seem to be rather small and cramped but this is a matter of relative price and class. Although we were a couple if we go back we would probably take a family room or apartment. So the Booking Com over-simplifies with these categories! There are grey areas - and likes and dislikes must be relative to cost and what you choose to book.

This family owned and run hotel is managed with love and enthusiasm. The owners are "hands on" and completely committed. Our room was clean and freshly decorated with a light modern feel. The location is perfect. There is a large airy air conditioned dining room with well spaced tables and some dividers which create a more cosy experience. There is an international staff some of whome still seem to be learning the trade but all of whom share the owners' approach to guests - to be warm and friendly but professional - a very good balance. Our cleaning staff introduced themselves, worked around us for a cleaning time and checked everything was in order. In short the hotel is clean, and managed pro-actively. There is plenty of parking and this is surely the nicest part of the lake, with sweeping meadows and plenty of open space down to the lake with full public access. So many vilages around the lake seem in fact to be camp sites with a village planted on the back. Thanks to its long history and the Stift Ossiach is a real place. We attended an impressive summer concert at the Music Academy in the Stift so well worth checking out their programme which is not widely advertised. Perhaps above all I liked the owners and the management of the hotel. They are working hard to achieve success. I wish them well.

Basic room, no appliances, I would love to have a mini fridge at least (or hot water for coffee).

Great location, nice breakfast, simling and helpful staff. Very dog friendly. Great terrace!!!

I dont like the location of the hotel, near to main road, and also it is quite expensive. And i did not understand the logic of ham / cheese catering equipment at the breakfast, which was very deep.

The room was comfortable, good-looking, big enough with a view of the lake from far. Breakfast was also good.

AirCon could only go down to 21C and seemed very mild in its effort - for the price of this room, expected better compared to others in the area. Parking for motorbikes was great, just parked right outside of the hotel.

This hotel is on the water front which is its main attraction. The rooms was modern although the aircon seemed 'limited'. Staff were very polite and helpful and could not be faulted. The reception area is extremely relaxing and the breakfast selection was excellent compared to others.

The ambient temp was extremely high, even though outside was <20C. I had my windows wide open the whole stay in order to sleep. thankfully there were no mosquitos!

Gasthof zur post was a good value, and in a good location. The people were very friendly and the restaurant was the most popular place in town, which is probably a good sign.

Great people running the place. A fun dinner place adjacent that we really enjoyed and also enjoyed being able to "stay in" for dinner after a long day backpacking.

No air con

Great location and lovely place only didn’t score 19 as no aircon in our room it was a tad warm

Stayed in July 2023

The room had a strange odor. Probably because the pipes haven’t been used for a while or need some cleaning.

Friendly staff, good breakfast.

It was too hot in one of the rooms we booked as hot water pipes most probably were next to our main wall

Location and environment, the local restaurant

Stayed in July 2023

The hotel located a few minutes walk from an Ossiach lake shore. Simple room with small bathroom. Very good breakfast. The restaurant within the building with very satisfactory menu. Nice and helpful stuff. We spent just one night on a trip to Italy and it was quite good shot. Not sure if i I would like to spend more days.

Since it is an old building, it can be disappointing for those who want it to be very stylish and modern. but the location and the old building did not have a negative effect on me.

The view you see when you wake up in the morning was fascinating.

The road through Ossiach is coming right under the window, it could be annoying if a large group of motorbikers is passing by. But in the night time the road is mostly quiet.

We had free room upgrade and got a spacious room with a fantastic lake view. The room was clean and bright, the bad was comfortable, we had a very nice sleep there. The breakfast buffet gave plenty of choice. Every member of the stuff we met was nice and very friendly. If you happen to be there on Wednesday get yourself prepared for a live music coming from the local market, which we personally didn't mind.

There weren't amenities.Two small soaps and nothing else.We asked for shampoo and bathing gel and they gave us.But in such a price (104euros) some little things made a difference.Also in the booking platform the rooms were supposed to be on the floor with balcony and lake view.I hot a room at the back and the view was houses and the forest.The other room was on the ground floor a really big one,very beautiful but no lake view.

This hotel was in a very nice place ,in Ossiah Austria,the rooms were very big and clean. Very nice breakfast buffet. Lots of flowers in the reception and lots of paintings.
