Gästehaus Truskaller

All good, good price and comfort. Stunning views.

Very warm reception, literally! :) After a long bike ride in the rain 2 days before my stuff had been wet. In the AirBnb I had had before this hotel the day before, they refused to turn the heating on in my room and let me dry my clothes (!).There was of course no chance of my soaking wet clothes drying overnight.. I spent the whole following day day in wet shoes... In this hotel however they even turned on a ski boot dryer and let me dry all my stuff within 15 minutes. I was impressed, glad and grateful :)

Positive: It is more like a small flat then just a hotel room. There is a kitchen and a sofa for rest and a sleeping room. There is a lockable room for snowboards and skies downstairs which we used to park our bikes..

Positive: If you need to stay somewhere in the center of Mallnitz then it is a variant for you. It is right opposite the information point, 2 min from the post office, 5 min to the BIOS center, 10 min to the railway station. The room was clean, with balcony. The nights were quiet. I could have breakfast already at 7:30 (buffet style, I would add eggs). Kärnten Card is included. In the hall I found usuful books and information about the region.. Negative: The balcony is right between two other balconies, so if your neighbours are noisy or smoking it can be very disturbing. As the Gästehaus is in the town itself the view from the balcony is mostly on other buildings. Because the Kärnten card is included, the price per night is higher then in places without Karnten card, so if you do not need this card it can be minus for you..

My experience wasn't so great. I was staying there (room 10) because of (rather dirty) work. The shower had almost no pressure, which for me was a very important part. But any shower should have good pressure.

Positive: very friendly hosts, tolerant to my broken German :) excellent location, easy access from the railway station a balcony a view at grazing sheep :) the apartment was quite large, cozy, everything made of wood :) everything perfectly clean very quiet very nice common premises my daughter appreciated a bowl of free sweets in the hallway, with daily refills ;) Mallnitz, in general, is a paradise on Earth Kärntencard is included - the money you save with it is basically like one night for free. Negative: a small TV with grainy screen and only Austrian channels (no problem for me) everything in the apartment was quite old and simple (no problem for me either) the kitchen had a perfect set of silverware, pots, and dishes, etc., but no tea, sugar, oil...just coffee filters and dishwasher tablets, but nothing edible, just a teaspoon of salt left in the salt shaker :) (just a minor annoyance, I bought all this stuff in a nearby Billa supermarket, but all the vacation apartments I've been to, had at least some salt, sugar, spices, cheap pasta etc. in there). there was no heating in the bathroom, and only poor ventilation (no window) - this is the only reason I give just 7 instead of 9 or 10 rating. The bathroom, otherwise very clean, already had a stale, "cellar" smell when we arrived. Then we hit a streak of 4 very cold and wet days in a row (nothing rare in the Alps even in summer I guess), with no easy way of drying our towels, not to mention clothes and shoes, in our apartment. Given how friendly the hosts were, I have no doubt they would have helped us somehow if I asked, but really, just a simple heated towel rack in the bathroom would do....

Positive: This was my second stay. The owner is very friendly and helpful. Rooms are modern, clean with a nice view. Excellent continental breakfast. Negative: Nothing to complain about.

Positive: There was no dissatisfaction for me. The furniture is sober and favourable. The room is so clean and the hosts are very kind. I was pleased with my staying in summer because of hiking or climbing the mountain, but I reckon staying in another season is also as precious as summer..
