From the moment we arrived, the experience at this hotel felt disconnected. We checked in around 7:30 p.m. and were told to come back another night for the welcome drink because the restaurant was closing soon. A welcome drink takes two minutes — it’s supposed to set the tone and make guests feel at home. Instead, it felt rushed and impersonal.
The inconsistency continued. Some staff wore uniforms, while others were in casual street clothes. For example, I had booked a couples massage, which turned out to be two separate massages in different rooms. The gentleman checking my wife in for her massage was dressed casually, and then went on to give her the treatment. It felt unprofessional and out of place for a luxury resort.
Dinner service was equally disappointing. Our server knew we were American, yet the table next to us carried on loudly with negative political commentary about America. Instead of helping create a pleasant atmosphere, staff even participated in the disapproval of American politics, making us feel uncomfortable and unwelcome. This is my holiday — I don’t need to hear that while trying to enjoy dinner.
The food itself was not much better. Meals leaned heavily on the buffet, with the “main course” one night being a single sliver of flank steak. If you’re going to offer all-inclusive rates, the dining should feel complete, not like an afterthought. By the third night, we chose not to eat in-house at all.
Overall, everything at Zillergrund Rock felt disjointed and disappointing. For a property that positions itself as a luxury mountain resort, the service, professionalism, and dining experience simply did not match the expectation.
