Hotel-Garni Schernthaner

We have just enjoyed a 9 night stay at this wonderful family run establishment. We had such an excellent stay. Our room, number 14, could not have been better. It was on the third floor, with a view of the lake and the surrounding buildings , all with their beautiful window box displays of geraniums and petunias. The room was very comfortable. It was great to have a fridge, a kettle, and a balcony, (in no particular order!). Everything throughout the hotel was beautifully clean. Breakfast was great. Excellent coffee, delicious fresh fruit salad, lots of different cereals, breads, cheeses etc. You could request eggs in different ways…..we really enjoyed Markus’ omelettes. Beautifully cooked, which isn’t always the case. Everything was always kept topped up, which again, isn’t always the case. Very kind and friendly staff, and we were very well looked after. The location could not have been better. Right on the edge of the village, very close to the bus stop, which we used most days (free bus pass from the hotel), and various restaurants close by. We used 3 different restaurants whilst staying in St Gilgen. All great, and I will be reviewing those very soon. All in all, this was a great place to stay and I’m delighted we chose it…..could not have chosen better. I thoroughly recommend Hotel Schernthaner.

We were a larger group of cyclists. Everything was just right. From the bike cellar to breakfast. We experienced everyone as very friendly and accommodating. From our perspective, there is a clear recommendation.
