Miramonte

The hotel set some expectations, also thanks to the very good reviews. These could not really be met. Right upon arrival we thought to ourselves "oh no." The exterior facade is very run-down and old. Inside it then got a bit better. It mixes very old with new elements. Yes, that is their supposed style, but the "old" is too much of a good thing. On the terrace broken boards, worn-out armchairs. The rooms were better, but here too very old elements - too much of a good thing. Here it is more shabby than chic. The wellness area is small but okay. The restaurant is also quite nice. The breakfast was very delicious. The location is very beautiful and very quiet. The rooms were comfortable despite the heat. Overall it was okay, but I would not come again. I cannot for the life of me understand why the hotel is praised so highly. Not a 4-star hotel.

Miramonte , I love it !!! you always meet such nice people, it's a melting pot and many like me keep coming back . there are deep friendships and even if you travel alone you always find a person with whom you have something in common and then you sit for hours at the long communal table and talk deep into the night - the service is super nice and supportive , a wonderful place to switch off and yet be embedded .

This somewhat self-conciously cool retro hotel has lovely panoramic views from most rooms, a relaxed bar, stylish restaurant and a good (though a bit unimaginative) evening menu. Staff are cheerful and helpful. However, as part of the 'vibe' (apparently) there was no TV service anywhere, (despite what the hotel website claims), which - when as with so many resorts this winter - the snow closed in and it was not possible to ski, not being able to watch the winter Olympics was a real downer when there was nothing else to do. The ski shuttle bus is the only realistic way to get to the only remaining lift station (the Graukogel was closed permanently in November 2025, thanks for telling us before we forked out E1250 for three passes, resort managers) and was regularly booked up as soon as it was put up in reception. Spa facilities are good with a fine masseuse available. Our rooms were clean, spacious and very clean, BUT - perhaps a deal breaker for the Brits - had no tea / coffee making facilities! Apres- ski tea was soup and cake BUT I have never stayed in a hotel that does not offer free hot drinks to wash it down. E3.50 for a pot of hot water and a teabag? I mean, really? In summary: I would stay here again, but as a spa break with a bit of skiing attached rather than for a ski holiday. For several reasons, however, I would not recommend Bad Gastein as a full-on ski resort.
