Simply the best! Better than all the rest!
This is the most hospitable stay in our 20 day trip in Austria and Italy. Gitty (Brigitta) is incredibly helpful and engaging. From our greeting at arrival to our departure days later, Gitty was making sure we were taken care of. Also we got free chair passes and bus passes so we could continue hiking the Alps with ease. The food in Alpbach was incredible as was the breakfast bar here.

Hotel end of checking in time is 6pm. We were late on our way there because unexpected snow on mountains mid September. We called owner, she left our room key and instruction at reception, and we checked in without any issues. The breakfast has good choice. The stuff was very friendly and helpful.

Expedia indicated the property had washer and dryer in the room, which it did not. However, the staff allowed us to use the washer/dryer they use for laundry and saved the day.

A Special Hotel in Beautiful Alpbach
This is a wonderful hotel near the center of Alpbach. Our room was very clean and tastefully decorated. The breakfast was delicious with fresh and quality selections including eggs cooked to order. On-site parking. There is a well stocked honor bar on the lower level. The free city pass which allows you to take a free the bus to the local ski mountain for a ride to the top is a nice benefit. Lastly, if you stay here you will get a chance to meet one of the treasures of Alpbach, Gitte (Brigitte). She is the property owner with so much energy, enthusiasm and heartfelt friendship for all. She always seemed to be nearby. Just look for her golf cart. This hotel offers great value, please give it a try.

Sehr schön eingerichtetes Zimmer mit Balkon. Hier kann man auch länger bleiben. Die Betten fanden wir sehr bequem und die Fahrräder waren sicher untergestellt. Das Frühstück war ein Traum, frisch zubereitetes Rührei und eine große Auswahl an mundgerecht aufgeschmitten Obst.

There is a card to have some amenities without cost around the town, but we didn´t know it, so will be great that the host send email before arrival with the information.

Bilfri skitur⛷⛷
Haus Sonnwend er et hyggeligt pensionat med god stemning, hjælpsom service og omsorgsfuld interesse for gæsterne. Kommer gerne tilbage :)
Super morgenmad og æg efter ønske. Ekstra plus med et køkkenhjørne på værelset. Perfekt.
Alpbach er en hyggelig bjerglandsby. Eneste minus er at man skal med skibus til skiløbet.
Haus Sonnwend var fint til vores “klima”skitur uden bil og fly men med tog helt til dalen og ok busser helt frem til hushjørnet 🚂🚂
