St Gilgen, Hotel Hollweger

Just got back from St Gilgen, Hotel Hollweger. Very disappointed. Had previously stayed at Hotel Tirolerhof, Zellamsee and was told this was on a par. No way was it ! They did not cater for the english at all,only interested in germans. Rooms dated, hairdryer didnt work,no minibar and noisy conference attendees. When we complained because the conference guys were below our balcony for 2 hours we were told they needed to sit in the shade and were hot. Sorry, we were on holiday and had paid extra for lake view and balcony.

We missed the Hotel Tirolerhof so much we drove 3 hours just to have a cup of coffee there !! And it was as great as we remembered it.

Anyway sorry Hotel Hollweger and the surrounding area we wont be going back. The lake view was amazing but that did not compensate the money we had spent. Never written a review before but I lost my job last year and this holiday was the only treat we allowed ourselves so as you can imagine I was very disappointed and especially as our two friends decided three weeks before to join us because they also thought it looked so good.

Pay a little extra for a Lake view and enjoy this wonderful hotel. The quality of rooms and service is excellent and you are always made to feel welcome. We ahve stayed at the Hollweger several times over the last 4 years and the quality has been excellent every time. We are looking forward to our next visit.

Hotel Hollweger has bedrooms at front of hotel facing main road, extremely noisy from 5.00 am.

Dinners rather inconsistent in quality and main course did not appear to be checked before leaving kitchen, i.e. some missing potato, others sauce etc., which for a 4 star hotel was poor.

Breakfasts excellent.

We stayed in the annex of Hotel Hollweger which we found delightful. The staff were very friendly, the food (we had both breakfast and evening meal) was excellent and the scenery superb. In the evening we often sat in the lounge and found it a pleasant way to round off the night. St Gilgen itself is a lovely village and we enjoyed the short walk from the hotel to there in the morning.

Not really in the hotel's control but the weather sometimes very wet!

Overall, a very fine holiday. We would return and this time would be a little bit more prepared for the climate. Anyone coming here should definitely take a trip around the lake - and try the hot chocolate with the golden rum in it served on board. Delicious! And very warming...

My wife and I stayed at a "pension", at least that is what I think they where called, run by a very nice and warm family. When the day of our departure came, we where very sad to leave such a wonderful and friendly place. If it was possible I would love to return and stay for another holiday.

Excellent food. Staff very helpful and nice. Excellent entertainment. Nice hotel owner. Very cold room. But a great relaxing holiday, good location. From the Barnsley lasse"s.

St Gilgen is a lovely place with several cafes serving wonderful cakes and ice cream. The Hotel is only a few minutes walk a way from the centre of St. Gilgen and there is plenty to do there, as well as being handy to Salzberg. We had a wonderful holiday there and it was very relaxing. Would certainly go back to the same hotel.

St Gilgen, Hotel Hollweger - Lovely hotel, spacious and comfortable room with a superb view of the lake and garden from our balcony. It was worth paying extra. Very good indoor pool complex in the hotel grounds. Food was excellent, large and varied breakfast buffet, and good choice of well-presented evening meals. St. Gilgen is an attractive village, only a few minutes walk downhill from the hotel, with easy access by ferry to the other lakeside villages.

Hotel Hollweger is an excellent hotel, 4 star with friendly service in general. Large garden with lake view, very good leisure centre with beautiful swimming pool with ample supply of towels.

The only thing against it is the noise the mountain view rooms suffer from (a main road is about 30-40 meters away) when the windows are open.

Excellent salad buffet most nights.
