Hotel Tauernstern

Eigentlich ein ganz nettes kleineres Hotel in dem kleinen Dorf Winklern. Dort gibt es 2 Supermärkte, 2 Cafes, 2 Restaurants/Pizzeria und einen kleinen Marktplatz, sowie eine schöne Kirche. Ausserdem einen Kulturlandschaftsweg (schöne, leichte Wanderung, etwa 3 Stunden) direkt vom Hotel weg. Das Hotel ist teilrenoviert und sehr sauber. Der junge Mann am Empfang etwas flapsig, aber bemüht. Die Standardzimmer (normale Größe, ohne Balkon) sind mit einem kleinen Sofa und einem Tischchen ausgestattet, sowie mit Einbauschränken und einem Bad mit Duschkabine, ohne Fenster. Völlig ausreichend. Zimmer und Bad sind ebenfalls sehr sauber. Allerdings nur für #normal große Menschen geeignet. Das Bett hat nur Standardgrösse und ist für grosse Menschen arg kurz. Ebenfalls die Bettwäsche, nur Standard und recht kurz. Auch auf Nachfrage gibt es keine Extras hier. Das Restaurant ist recht gemütlich und das 5 Gänge Menü zur Halbpension ist hervorragend. In Qualität und Portion. Der Service ist freundlich und schnell. Das Frühstücksbuffet ist für die "ersten" völlig ausreichend. Die, die später kommen, müssen sich oftmals mit dem Rest begnügen, oder nachfragen. Mitte September wäre es schön, wenn wenigstens Morgens und Abends die Heizung etwas Wärme verbreiten würde, aber dies war trotz Nachfrage nicht möglich. Parkplätze gibt es ausreichend. Guter Ausgangspunkt für Touren/Wanderungen rund um den Grossglockner..

Viele Ausflugsmöglichkeiten zum Wandern oder Schi fahren in der Umgebung: Lienz, Heiligenblut, Mölltaler Gletscher. Entspannung im Hotel: Sauna, helle, geräumige Zimmer, freundliche Betreuung, ausgezeichnetes Essen (Frühstück mit regionalen Produkten, 5-gängiges Abendessen unbedingt zu empfehlen). Ein Ort, um eine Auszeit vom Alltag zu nehmen. Uns hat es sehr gut gefallen.

The nicest hotel for miles!

Great hotel. It was a pleassure to stay there! ??

Nice hotel with great breakfast. But on a main road and noisy. Restaurant was closed so they sent us across the street to a place they recommended but was disgusting.

Not a 4-star hotel. We stayed at this hotel for a week. Unfortunately there were many points which make you doubt if you want to stay here: - Upon arrival we had to make a discussion to get a Kärnten Card (allows entrance to attractions nearby). It was clearly written that it was included in the price from 6 days, we stayed 7 days. Not good to have such unwarm welcome. In the end we got it the next day, but you shouldn’t have a discussion to get what they promise. - Breakfast is only until 09:30, even when you come at 08:30, many things are empty already. - They try to take extra money by offering water that seems for free, but has a tiny price written. A bottle of water should be simply included in a ‘4-star’ hotel. - Card payments are not possible under 50 euro, it’s 2021! Very outdated. And absolutely not worthy for a 4-star hotel that you need to make a discussion about that as well. The rooms are clean though and large. The overall maintanence state is good. The staff just doesn’t make it a pleasant place to stay. It should be marked as a 3-star hotel and it will probably will get better reviews because the service in the hotel fits better to a lower standard. We won’t stay again!

We had a 6 day stay at the Tauernstern, overall very average in terms of facilities so I don’t feel like it should be presented to guests as a 4 star stay. The sauna is one of the reasons I booked and it turned out that it was open for only 2 hours (between 15:00 and 17:00) a day. The breakfast had a few nice aspects, they had good coffee and lots of cheese/fruits. However, it didn’t matter at what time we came cause the eggs were 8/10 times missing. Which was disappointing, just like the fact that there was a tiny price on the waterbottles in the room -I hadn’t even seen it.. Water usually is free in the name of hospitality -especially in a 4 star hotel. Well, this wasn’t the case and I had to pay €10,- for water that I had in my room.. I wanted to pay with card cause I didnt carry cash at that moment, which was a problem again because the lady behind the desk said that payments are only accepted by card when the cost is over €50,-. She started calling someone and then all of a sudden I was allowed to pay with card anyway. Overall definitely not a 4 star stay in my opinion. 3 stars at best.
