Iris Porsche Hotel & Restaurant

Last week we stayed at Iris Porsche Hotel in Mondsee. The gentleman at the front desk was super friendly and helpfull. The room was amazing and the bathroom was perfect. It had a bath, Turkish steam shower and we had the view on the cute houses in city center. Breakfast was fresh and delicious! We stayed one night because it was fully booked. We totally understand why 😍 We recommend this!

Iris is a stylish boutique hotel with a seriously understaffed team. The rooms are spacious and beautifully furnished. Ours (and perhaps all of them?) came with both a bathtub and a steam shower – a very nice touch that left us impressed when we first arrived. But then came dinner. The restaurant, proudly displaying a Michelin recommendation, had us genuinely excited. That excitement quickly turned into disbelief. The waiter on duty – who we suspect was also the chef – was flat-out rude. He made it very clear that the terrace was fully booked and – regardless of the fact that we were guests at his hotel – they wouldn’t serve us inside either, even though the restaurant inside was completely empty. As hotel guests in a tiny town like Mondsee, we naïvely thought dinner would be part of the experience. Lesson learned. Breakfast the next morning was the real disaster. €25 per person for the most minimalist buffet we’ve ever seen: two kinds of cheese, two kinds of ham, a few oats, and some bread. No fruits, no selection of vegetables, no salmon, no sweet pastries – nothing. They did offer freshly scrambled eggs, but the portion was laughably small, more like an appetiser than a proper breakfast. With a Michelin-recommended restaurant on-site, we had high hopes. Sadly, Iris didn’t meet even the lowest of them. To be fair, once the rude waiter realised we were clearly disappointed, he only charged breakfast for two instead of four – so there was at least some attempt at damage control.

Very noble hotel, with elegant rooms and amazing steam showers. Our room was gigantic. The location is perfect, the staff deserves awards for their friendliness. Prices are fair. Also suitable for travel with small children (except the Michelin level restaurant)

The best choice I did to book this hotel. 5 star hotel, 5 star services and a very nice experience that I will for sure I will repeated. The room was super big and the high quality of the design and the very good taste. It is a must staying in this hotel and experience the Michelin star chef’s food. Keep up do this amazing services for tourists vacantions.

The rooms are excellent, and the staff is welcoming and friendly. The location is great, right in the center of town. Parking is available at Mondsee Parking, just a 3- to 5-minute walk from the hotel, and it is free.

Only thing i don't understand is why we need the big flatscreen TV? Where you can watch only austrian regular channels with teleshoping and such... And the apps or Netflix were blocked. Also, the sauna is not available in all rooms and it wasn't clear on Booking.

Super staff, very kind and professional! The kitchen is awesome, a must try! We had fish and could not have been happier. The have a really good wine card and the do serve some of the best wines per glass, so one does not necessarilly have to buy a bottle.

Exceptional. Stayed here for a wedding at an other hotel. Staff let us check into room early to get changed. All staff very friendly. Had drink in adjacent bar owned by hotel which was reasonably priced. Breakfast excellent. They also have a covered car park across the road. Would definitely return if in area, the room was beautiful

We came to this hotel from Saltzburg. Our original plan was for our daughter to have a few spa treatments and then to have lunch before driving to one of the better known Austrian or Swiss mountain towns. We were so amazed by the staff, restaurant, and the hotel itself that we decided to stay. The hotel is small but you would never know by the walking into the lobby. Every detail of the hotel itself is impeccable. It is very modern without feeling cold. It is also highly functional--unlike many Europen hotels, our room has space for a family of four Americans and all of our stuff. We have a large bathroom with a tub, decorative treatments including lighting and art work, a large flatscreen tv, in room wifi (included) and more. Our lunch amazed us all. My daughter and I each had fish (char and trout) from Moon Lake which is only a few hundred yards away. The fish tasted like fresh caught lake fish should. It was perfectly prepared with a tasty crust. The sides (spinach and rice for me, potatoes for her) were so flavorful. The special chicken over linguine was similarly perfect. My wife's gnocchi was flavorfull but not so rich that it could not be finished. The prices ranged from inexpensive for the gnocchi to very reasonable (17 euro?) for the three course chicken meal. Service was super attentive. The hotel is set in the center of a small town. It is surrounded on all sides by mountains and tall hills. The lake is large--it took us about 40 minutes to drive around it. There are boats if sailing or water skiing are your thing (or I think that's what a brochure or sign said.)The village is clean and picturesque. Churches, shops, cafes, bars and ice cream shops surround the hotel and seemed busy. I'd like to come back here someday. It will be on my list ahead of Saltzburg. And the hotel now ranks among my family's favorite, which is a compliment considering my wife works for a fantastic hotel chain and gets to stay for free at their high end properties across the U.S. And Europe. We had to pay for this hotel, but it is totally worth it.
