In general, the house is already a bit old. It is therefore not particularly nice for my taste, but this is on the one hand a matter of taste and on the other hand not particularly important to me personally. Our room was spacious and adequate for our needs (Another hotel guest complained, however, that the rooms are equipped with a bathtub. We didn't mind, as we showered anyway in the wellness area.). The bed was comfortable and the rest of the decor good. The spa area is fine. It is not particularly beautiful, as I think it is quite loveless (e.g. the infusion spoon was defective and in the Finnish sauna only one of four lights went, which is why it was very dark), but functional. The Finnish sauna and the herbal sauna are a passable size. However, the steam bath muffles, which is why we did not use this one. In the upper relaxation room, one of the light spots whirred, which was disturbing. The staff does their job but seems disinterested. For example, there was no question on our days of stay whether the food tasted good or whether everything was fine. On one evening, the food was served in one beat, without asking if we already want to continue with the next course or take a break. None of this would normally bother me much, as I am not particularly sensitive to it. But unfortunately on our two evenings the food was mostly inedible. Even the salad served on the first evening did not taste good, because among other things the carrots tasted old. We continued with a goulash soup, which was fine but probably from the can. The pork medallions were inedible because they tasted extremely like pork. For this purpose, frozen vegetables were served that were disgusting and napkin dumplings that were fine. The other main course, cheese dumplings with sauerkraut, was the better dish that night. The pressed cheese dumplings were fine, albeit dry (and without any sauce) and little roasted, but the sauerkraut did not taste good and was not homemade. For dessert we had apple strudel. This was fine, although not particularly good, but definitely a finished product. On the second evening there was a salad buffet (as actually indicated on the menu at least the previous evening) and also the liver dumpling soup was for self-service at the buffet. The salad buffet was fine, we did not taste the soup based on our experiences the night before. As a main course we once ate a Jackfruit Curry. This one was edible, but not good. The rice was not cooked sufficiently and the sauce was indefinable. As a second main course we deliberately chose the children's menu consisting of fries and fish sticks, as the other main courses offered, lamb chop with polenta and potato mushroom dumplings with sauerkraut (the can was probably not empty yet?), were too daring due to the experiences of the previous evening and we did not want to leave the dinner hungry. This was sometimes the best meal of those two evenings. Apart from that, the cheese served for dinner is recommended, this one was good. The assumption regarding the lamb chop was confirmed at the other tables. The supposedly sous-vide cooked lamb was tough and most guests did not eat it up. The choice of breakfast buffet is good. I didn't get Nutella, even on demand, which is not bad now, but I was a little surprised. There were also no cakes promised on the homepage. Only on the first day there was a braid, on the second day there were no sweets. The selection of sausages and cheeses is manageable. The bacon cut too thick, the cheese just standard (unfortunately not the good hard cheese that is available for dinner). The coffee is fine, but unfortunately there is only shelf-life milk, which I do not like. Apart from the apples, the fruit offered (pineapple, melon and kiwi) was quite unripe but edible. Special mention should be made of the breads and cakes offered. These are actually sourced from the local bakery and are very good. All in all, the food on offer does not look particularly high-quality. On our departure I pointed out to the lady at the reception that the food was a disaster as it was mostly inedible. They just asked what we had eaten. Otherwise, she showed no reaction to it and did not try to excuse or improve the situation in any way. She didn't seem to care very much. Based on this experience, I cannot advise anyone to stay at the Hotel Andreas Hofer. I'm sure we won't be able to get here again.

Very cozy rooms. Clean and tidy. Food was delicious. Friendly staff. The hotel is very close to the glacier. Great location. Free parking directly at the hotel. We would definitely come back.

We recently stayed with a group of 12 guests at the Hotel Hofer and were all delighted. The location is perfect for skiers: about 50m from the Rifflbahn or ski bus stop to the glacier (only 1 stop); the food was totally delicious (lush breakfast buffet and 3 choice dishes in the evening); the staff extremely friendly and helpful
