I stayed at Zhero hotel from 04th January until 10th January 2026. Unfortunately, overall I did not have a very pleasant experience.
1. The room.
Our room was very dusty and stuffy. I stayed in room 318. If staff are interested , they can go check this themselves. The room is poorly ventilated. Me and my friend`s throat kept getting dry every nights and we felt sick each night and only would feel better after we left for the mountain.
The room is poorly designed, very impractical. Sockets for charging phones are hidden behind nightstands, and you have to move them yourself in order to charge your phone. The bed has rough edges and they are colored in black, and my friend and I kept accidentally hurting ourselves against it during the night.
The bathroom glass curtain is too short. So every time we took a shower there would be a large puddle of water on the floor.
The lamps in the room are very cheap, and they warm up the room. So we ended up keeping the lights off in order to avoid heating up the room.
2. Strange SPA
The SPA area is very strange. Two main issues:
- there are no rules regarding age or keeping your swimsuits on in the sauna space. In most of Austria / Germany, it is required to take your swimsuit off. That`s what I did, also because it was more sanitary, but there was another guest who entered the sauna with her son and scolded me for being naked. When she called up the Staff to complain about me being naked in the SPA area where the children are, the staff informed her (and me) that the policy is flexible and I am allowed to be nude. This left both myself and the woman confused and both of us were uncomfortable with the situation.
Moreover, the SPA are is completely dark. The lights are always completely turned off there. There are no lights in the saunas. Which is strange and quite uncomfortable, because it can be difficult to see where you are going. And one time, in the Aroma sauna, I almost accidentally touched the heating system (which is in the back), because it`s so dark you cannot see it there and there are no signs warning against it.
3. Staff
Staff is generally quite polite and nice. You can tell that they are trying their best, however, there is some confusion because of language. Most of the staff is not german speaking, and some of them prefer to speak to guests in english. However, some of them prefer to communicate in german. As an english speaker who does speak some german, I was confused throughout my stay and this confusion around language caused some wrong orders here and there. They did not make us pay for this mistakes, but it was strange.
Positives :
- the breakfast is great
- the transfer to skiing resorts generally works quite well and is very convenient
Overall, I did not enjoy my stay unfortunately, as when I pay for a 5 star Hotel, I really expect a smooth experience.
However, I was made very uncomfortable in the SPA and I felt sick all the time from how dry and dusty is the air in the room that I stayed in. Unfortunately, I am not planning to come back. I did like how pleasant and polite the hotel staff is.
I see that they are trying their best and I wish them great success in improving their hotel going forward, because there is definitely a lot of space for improvement and these are not impossible fixes. Good luck!
