I have visited the Dorfhotel with family and friends six times in the last 12 years, each time I return there has been an addition to improve the guest experience. The rooms are a good size, clean and comfortable. They are warm and there is plenty of hot water, just what you need after a hard days skiing. The food is always excellent, lots of choice both at breakfast and dinner and always excellent quality. The wellness centre has to be the best in a hotel of its size, two saunas, steam room, infra red cabin etc. Perfect to revive those tired and aching muscles after a long day on the piste. The staff are excellent, speaking good English and are always friendly and helpful. The hotel is located in the centre of a lovely alpine village and despite this one can still ski in and with a short walk ski out. Alternatively the ski bus stops on the corner just a 2 minute walk. This is an ideal base to experience the Schladming-Dachstein ski area which is one of, if not, the best ski areas in Austria. We keep trying other resorts and keep coming back to the Dorfhotel and Schladming- Dachstein, it’s hard to beat. Needless to say we will be back.

“Bon rapport qualité/prix”

Nous y avons séjourné 4 nuits en 2013 janvier.

Nous y avons séjourné 4 nuits en 2013 janvier. Comme nous sommes arrivés tôt le matin, les chambres n'étaient pas prêtes, mais on nous a proposé une chambre de modifications pour les vêtements de ski. Notre chambre située dans la partie la plus ancienne de l'hôtel était assez sympa. Il y avait un petit balcon, une salle de bains spacieuse et le lit était correct ainsi. Le plus important, tout était très propre. Le buffet du petit déjeuner est vraiment très agréable de commencer votre journée, j'ai di ne rien manquer. Le dîner était correct ainsi - terre-à-terre cuisine autrichienne. Le spa est également très agréable, même s'il n'est pas très grande. Être au courant du fait qu'il faut monter une pente pour 200 m env. si vous voulez atteindre la station de téléphérique par vos skis. Sinon, il faut prendre le bus pour y aller.

“Good option but not ski in/out”

If the snow is good, you can ski back to the edge of the hotel's car park. But it isn't ski out: it's a 200m walk to the piste edge - not bad but this won't suit everyone. The hotel can arrange a taxi to the Hauser Kaibling lift station, around 600 m away. The taxi may be free - just check. The h… Plus

If the snow is good, you can ski back to the edge of the hotel's car park. But it isn't ski out: it's a 200m walk to the piste edge - not bad but this won't suit everyone. The hotel can arrange a taxi to the Hauser Kaibling lift station, around 600 m away. The taxi may be free - just check. The hotel itself is smart, clean and reasonably traditional. Food is good and on busy days like changeover Saturdays, it becomes a buffet. Staff are very hard working and friendly. The main problem with the hotel is that it is popular with local groups, who may smoke heavily, making life unpleasant for others. The bar and corridors stink of smoke so the hotel isn't recommended for those who might object. But it's not dissimilar to other Austrian hotels in this regard. On our final evening, a group of young locals drinking heavily kept us awake until 2AM. There's no pool but a smart spa area provides relaxation at the end of a day on the mountains. There's no lounge for guests, which is a shame. Bedrooms are in two locations, the older hotel or the new extension. Ours was spacious but needed more art on the walls to break up the monotony. So, overall a good option in Haus - not the smartest but certainly worth considering.
