Hotel Garni Forelle

a pretty typical hotel in its exterior and interior decoration. very generous and varied breakfast. the service is smiling and very pleasant. The owner speaks French well and is very pleasant. relaxed family atmosphere. very good table d'hôte in the evening with typical dishes of the region. Our room was large, clean and quiet as it overlooked the river. lots of magnificent walks to do all around. the shuttle bus system financed by hotels is very effective in avoiding pollution and traffic jams. the buses are ultra punctual and allow you to go from spot to ski lift spot. We were there in summer and the sound of the river flowing, the cow bells ringing, the fresh air did us the greatest good. note that the hotel is the sole owner of the river and maintains it magnificently. Crystal clear river where fly fishermen will have a blast. very good spa center, sauna, hammam and infrared cabins to relax in the evening. a small downside? change the cushions in the rooms, which are too soft, shapeless and which do not help with a life-saving rest but it is a small drawback in view of everything else. run there to relax, get some fresh air and discover the beautiful green mountains of Tyrol.

We booked this hotel for a week’s ski holiday after the long pandemic lock-downs had prevented us from travelling the previous year. The hotel was very welcoming and friendly with excellent attentive service from Eva and Liradonna during our stay. Highlights included a good sized comfortable bedroom with a nice view down the valley with an excellent power shower. The Breakfast choice was one of the best if not the best I have ever had. The bar was cosy, the wellness centre including saunas were most welcome after a day on the slopes, the Restaurant was good as we ate there on our first night. There were a number of other good restaurants nearby which were full of character and very pleasant. The main Gondala lift is a 10 minute walk and there are 2 ski hire shops on the way to the lift. I used Insider Ski, who I can highly recommend without hesitation as I can recommend the Hotel Garni Forelle. There are bus stops directly outside the hotel for travel up to Hintertux or down into Mayrhofen. All in all, a comfortable, friendly & convenient place to stay .Also, the ski room was well equipped and secure .

Spent a week-long ski holiday here with family and friends. The rooms are large and comfortably appointed with great beds and nice bathroom/shower. Somewhat of a rarity in Europe, the lighting in the bathroom is superb. An extensive on-site sauna and steam room is included and the hotel has its own bus stop, greatly simplifying travel to and from ski resorts. WiFi, nice ski locker room with heated boot racks and a play room for children round out the amenities. Our week included not only a full breakfast each morning, but also an afternoon snack and a five-course, four-star dinner in the evening. Breakfast is served buffet style with traditional Austrian meats, cheeses, spreads, breads, radishes, sweet pepper slices, tiny tomatoes, sliced cucumber, as well as home made preserves, cereal with fresh yogurt, fresh fruit, specially seasoned scrambled eggs and bacon. Endless pots of coffee with hot cream are brought directly to the table. The trick is to organize one's plate and resist the temptation to put too much on the plate or to return for more goodies. In the morning each table is provided with a little newsletter with current ski conditions and a short history lesson of what happened on that particular day. A menu of the evening meal is prepared and each guest selects their option of two main courses, at least one of which is a traditional Austrian dish. The dinners are delicious and gorgeously plated. Appetizers are especially creative and the nightly soup is always very fresh and interesting. The Hungarian wait staff was diligent and pleasant, with the exception of an occasionally grumpy head waitress, Edit. Young Szoka's smile that lights up the world made up for Edit. Occasional and puzzling lapses in customer service knocked my rating down by a star, particularly in the onsite bar, in which smoking was unfortunately allowed and service lagged. On a few occasions we sat in the dining room waiting for our ticket after draining our aperitifs for an inordinately long time while the staff cleared tables and did prep work for breakfast.
