Sehr freundliche Gastgeber. Pension hat alles, was es für einen kurzen Aufenthalt braucht. Zimmer in frisch renoviertem Zustand mit tollem Blick vom Balkon auf umliegende Bergwelt. WLAN vorhanden, Frühstück hatte alles was man braucht, tolles Außengelände mit Spielplatz und diversen Sitzgelegenheiten.

Unsere geplante Hochzeit und damit die Zimmerreservierungen im Corona-Jahr 2020 mussten leider um ein Jahr verschoben werden, die menschliche und vorausdenkende Art von Annet und Marco haben das unkompliziert möglich gemacht. Wir und unsere Gäste haben uns sehr wohl gefühlt, die Zimmer waren sehr ruhig und sauber. Auch das Frühstück hatte alles, was man braucht. Für Extrawünsche gab es immer ein offenes Ohr. Die Lage der Pension Kärnten ist sehr zentral im Ort, es ist ein guter Ausgangspunkt für Wanderungen und Radtouren. Ein herzliches Dankeschön, wir kommen gerne und sicher wieder :-)

Ich war mit meiner 5-Köpfigen Familie eine Nacht dort, weil wir am Weissensee Eislaufen waren und dort keine € 450,- ausgeben wollten. Daher haben wir uns zum Glück für die Pension Kärnten entschieden. Der Gastgeber war extrem freundlich. Eine kurzfristige Corona-Storno wäre ohne weiteres möglich gewesen. Das 5er Zimmer war super gemütlich und warm - das Frühstück einfach superlecker und reichlich - obwohl wir die einzigen Gäste waren. Ganz sicher kommen wir wieder...

Ok

one night stay but really good feeling. Surrounding of hotel is quiet

The penetrating smoke smell day and night is the killing factor for us (bar under hotel rooms), which was unfortunately only noticed shortly before the trip seeing other reviews. So avoid it by any means if you don't smoke. Otherwise it might be completely fine with you. The owners are Dutch, and guests look most from Netherland during our visit. The gentleman is friendly and helpful, the other lady and yet another elder lady by breakfasts are less so, they are polite but felt superficially friendly. The bathroom had shower bar missing and built-in soap (head/body) dispenser broken. The gentleman helped us with a liquid hand soap quickly, and we got shower gel day after in super market by ourselves. Otherwise the room is clean and warm. We probably expected too much from a 3-star hotel. On the first day we didn't know to take the serviette ourselves for breakfast, and had to take one from an empty neighbor table on emergency because of the tipped water on the cloth, but educated by the elder lady: "Do not touch that (serviette on the other table)!" We understood later she had prepared that table for the new hotel guests who would arrive that evening. So understandable, but not being approached in this blaming manner! The dinners included were quite good, the breakfasts ok. Only noticed later in the bill, in case the kids or you hadn't appetite during the breakfast and took a bread with you it could be billed extra. So the elder lady had an eagle eye on us. Again it seems we had expected too much again. The dinner beverage was billed extra, which however was not clarified up front (either necessity nor price) but not un-expected this time, and the price fair in the end. The afternoon tee/cake time is pretty ok too, which we only tried twice because of schedule and smoke. Wifi/WLAN works only well enough around bar, not in dinning room. No welcome drink given as booked, which is by itself not really a problem for us anyway, especially confronted by smokers around bar upon arriving, though all friendly but we just wanted to escape into our room (smell-wise only barely better unfortunately). We almost doubt if we had arrived in wrong place because the main entrance is the bar instead of reception. The other lady blamed us checking out at around 10:00 too late, and it should have been before 9:30. We had in booking document mentioned 10:00 in general, but we might as well really overlooked their special rule then. I rounded the end bill but the lady insisted to give back the change, at the time I didn't think too much about that but now look back, she probably hated us the guests.

Marco and Annette, the new owners, made away with the problems mentioned in earlier reviews. The cold smell of smoke is completely gone and their non-smoking policy in the whole guesthouse makes that it will stay this way. As an Alpe Adrie trail walker I was invited at the family table for dinner. They offered a mixed grill with fresh salad and a big ice cream as desert. Delicious and plenty. I appreciate the familial atmosphere as a lonely walker. Breakfast was plenty, nicely presented on an old wagon. Because check-in is only possible from 4pm, I advice walkers who arrive early from Gmund to visit the folter museum. You also can go down to the lake (30' walk) for a swim and take the next day the shortcut to Pilcherhütte, rejoining the Alpe trail.

Great hotel and very friendly host! The room was clean and enjoyed the beautiful views.
