Berger's Sporthotel

Our second Summer at the Berger Sporthotel and it was just as good as last year. We were warmly welcomed on arrival by Laura and Mike who were very friendly and helpful at Reception. Frau Berger shared her love and passion for the hotel and its family history . We very much enjoyed the food and Wilkin's friendly service in the restaurant . The hotel still has its traditional charm which we appreciated. Being in the centre of town, buses and cable cars were most convenient. The Wednesday weekly entertainer showed off his musical talent...a good evening. We had a spacious bedroom with balcony overlooking the main street. The safe was useful. The included Tui packed lunch and afternoon coffee/cake one time weekly was a nice touch. We hope to return again. Smith family.

Our two week stay at the Bergers Sport Hotel in Salbaach is sadly coming to an end. It has been a genuinely memorable experience. The room we are staying in (701 in the annex) is spacious and clean, and has been diligently attended to daily by the friendliest of cleaners. Infact, the entire staff team have been welcoming, engaging and charming throughout our time here and are a credit to their profession. The proprietor, Mrs Berger is a lovely lady who has dedicated her life to continuing the legacy of this charming family run hotel. She has been passionate about sharing the history of the property, which inturn reflects her personal investment with impressive character. Her cute little dog 'Lucky' is not only a delightful presence, but also something of a mascot! The hotel couldn't be better situated in the centre of Salbaach, with easy access to the cable cars and public transport. The whole area resonates a breathtaking beauty which is difficult to match. The locals are polite and helpful, and continue to demonstrate a pride in their beautiful country which is well deserved. We always leave Austria with a sense that it is how things should be. We are hoping to return in the future.

The staff at Berger's hotel who were from Eastern Europe were great, except bar manager Musti who was from Kosovo. He first tried to steal money from us, in various sophisticated ways and then we were very badly treated when we pointed it out. After that we didn't get any service from him the rest of the days. Also the owner of the hotel did not fix the problem. The owner's son was dating a waitress who was a close friend of Musti. Very bad culture that gave bad atmosphere in the bus group of 38 people. Choose another hotel if Musti still works!
