We have been from 18th to 22nd of December in the "Weisses Rössl" in Kitzbühel. Very good inner city location only some footsteps from the shopping mile. But all in all a very very disappointing experience. We have been for the birthday of my wife at the 20th. We booked a room "Seidlalm" with rooms sized "from" 30sqm on. We arrived late and tired at the 18th, the room we got was "different" we realized that it was much smaller and it was on the "first" floor, but this means it is in the basement on the other side of the house, where the room has been. You feel you are under the surface. We complained about a wrong room in terms of the size, not what we booked. At first we were told that the room (116) is within the class Seidlam and it might be different size according to their conditions, ..... we couldnt believe and felt like they are cheating on us. The 116 has barely 20sqm never 30+. Propably linked wrong in their system. Or intention? Dont know if incompetence or cheating, anyway not acceptable when i pay 750€ a night! There is no other room available we were told. After being something more strict as i told them we will leave immediately and go somewhere else, we got the room 119 not much bigger also on the "first" floor but at least two rooms, sleeping and living room. Both rooms were terrible loud, the noise from the Zuma Restaurant dont let you fall asleep if you want so before midnight. Not long ago the hotel experienced a refurbishment, but many parts where not working or damaged, the bath shaving mirror was loose, the fan made "taktaktak" noises, the safe was blocked.
The hotel dont has an own restaurant! Only the Zuma, we didnt know, but the problem was that this is normally fully booked. "No problem" as hotel guest, we were told, after waiting more then 30 minutes and hungry we got a "coffee table" for dinner. The dinner was first of all ..... expensive... i dont care if good, but the performance was abysmally bad. No dish in the right order, sides too late, after main dish was eaten. The salmon from my wife came cold, she was meanwhile so hungry that she won't complain. My.... 105€ crab dish....., came cold, 5 minutes later then her's, contains 4 crab legs, i tried one and complaint, after waiting 20mins. it came again, the same but just warmed up and only 3 crab legs, ..... are you kidding!!!! The service was friendly and engaged but couldnt compensate. We got a desert for free, at least, but come on 240€ for two, no wine, just water for such a performance ........ interestingly everybody there was greek, they hired the complete Zuma team from Mykonos. Not a complaint, but something weired if you are in Kitzbühel in Austria, you come to the desk and ask something and he/she ask's "do you speak english". I dont care to pay 700 or 900 or even 1.000 for a night, but i expect then being treated professional, the "Weisses Rössl" is far away from being this. At least that nobody "realize" that your guests birthday is, that's really bad management. Selling rooms in the first floor to anybody else then party people is something like criminal or at least outrageous!
