Hotel Goldener Ochs

I also just wrote a review on their dining room - the schnitzels was so delicious (cooked by the owner in their cosy and stylish dining room, way better than other schnitzels I've had) I ate the same meal twice. I was there for five nights and absolutely loved it. 1) the location. It's tucked down a laneway so feels like a secret. The centre of town is a 2 minute walk across a cute little bridge - and that means getting to and fro you get a glorious river view that you'd miss if staying elsewhere. So you are out of any business but literally a moment away. Train station also a 7 minute walk only 2) the staff. They are lovely. It is family owned and they couldn't be nicer, so welcoming and professional. 3) little design touches like the fabric on the front of the reception and the aqua velvet chair in my room. 4) the speak easy bar. It feels like a slice of NY. very cool. 5) I didn't get at all the health area as I was there for work, but wish I had (saunas, a freezing pool for feet before warming them for some circ. benefit, a glorious pool, a 'breathing'; room with rosemary. It looked awesome. 6) colleagues attain different places all over town and I felt mine was the most authentically Austrian, with everything I need (and more), classy but a home way from home. Would go to Bad Ischl just to stay there again! 7) some little odd things like the room lay out (toilet opening to the front door) but this is an old building not purpose built so naturally has a few quirks.

Ich kann nur immer wieder betonen, dass ich ALLE Menschen im Haus sehr schätze. Familie Schweiger ist ein hervorragender Gastgeber. Die Rezeption ist immer so freundlich und gut gelaunt. Selbst in stressigen Situationen. Hier nochmal meine vollste Bewunderung. Auch die Mädels beim Frühstück und die Hauswirtschaft sind so toll. Immer ein liebes Wort und so ordentlich und sauber. Das Restaurant ist top und am liebsten würde ich mich in den Kaiserschmarrn reinlegen. :) Und wenn er noch mit lustigsten Worten serviert wird, ist das umso schöner. :) Bleibt einfach alle so, wie ihr seid. Solange ich Euer Gast sein darf, komme ich immer wieder gern. Von Herzen Danke für vier tolle Wochen. :)
