Gjaid Alm

What an awesome place! The owners and staff were kind. An incredible location. Important to note it is only accessible by gondola, I originally didn't realize that when I booked my stay here, but it was a fun surprise. The views are incredible, truly a unique place. The buffet dinner was very tasty. If I ever return to Austria, I would absolutely stay here again. My only complaint was that you had to pay for the shower (not a big deal), but they only gave you 4 minutes, and I don't know if I can take a shower that fast 😅

One of the best refuge I have been. Cooking is excellent and generous (partly Nepalese). There is electricity (and thus no generator) and wifi. Very peaceful atmosphere.

The hotel is located in a picturesque mountain setting. You can reach it by cable car, enjoying stunning views during the ascent. Vacation rating: natural beauty – amazing! Staff attitude – absolutely terrible! Upon check-in, they showed attention to a personal issue and assured understanding, but upon check-out, they confronted us with a fait accompli, retracting their promise to help resolve the situation. One staff member literally said, "That's not my problem." The mood was ruined. Additionally, no one warned us that hot water in the shower was paid, so we had to shower in cold water. Meals are mandatory, with exorbitantly high prices that don’t match the quality or variety. We will never return and do not recommend this hotel.

On a through hike from Hallstatt to Durnstein Mt gondola, we stopped here over night. There was a misunderstanding about the reservation. If you have a dog, call or email ahead to clarify what they can accomidate. Otherwise, they are extremely considerate of their guests. The building is old and need a little updating as not all doors lock. But it is a very trusting environment and I hope it stays this way.

We had a great staying! We planted our little tent outside, and we had a quiet night! Very good dinner and breakfast!

We just stopped by this Hütte for lunch. The ramen’s pretty spicy (it says so), but still really good! We weren’t big fans of the Kaiserschmarrn — we’ve had better. Still, it’s an awesome spot to grab a drink and a bite with an amazing view!

For those who saw this while searching for Hallstatt, this is not it. You have to go up by cable car and walk through the snow for about 10-15 minutes. It is a very beautiful place to stay. You have to pay extra for food. 40 euros for breakfast and dinner buffet if you sleep under the roof. The food is very good overall, tasty but not much variety. The accommodation is good, clean. There is a bathroom but if you want to shower you have to pay extra. The receptionist is friendly.

They dont even sell you a glass of water after 8 hours walk from Hoher Dachstain because „they have a party” they should be in the wedding halls category, not mountain huts.
