Flora - Das Kleine Gartenhotel

This our 3rd visit to Ellmau and the 3rd time in the Claudia which is now called the Flora. This was our 1st week of a 2 week 2 centre holiday which we booked with Inghams. As before we had a wonderful week, all the staff provided an excellent service. We stayed in a large room with comfy bed. Lovely breakfasts in the Flora and dinner in the main hotel The Hochfilzer which is just a very short walk away. Even though we've been here before, we're glad we came back and even spent a short time with the Rep on the Sunday morning and learnt a few more things about the village and we can travel even further for free with the Wilder Kaiser guest card. Well done Ingrid for running everything. To Lukas and his team for our wonderful breakfasts. To Goran and the bar staff for our evening meals. The the kitchen staff for varied and interesting dinners. Not forgetting our 'room fairy' for keeping our room clean & tidy. Yes, one day we'll be back.

A massive thank you to Ingrid and Michael for making us feel at home on another lovely week in beautiful Ellmau. The Claudia offers beautiful views and the best Tyrolean hospitality you could wish for. Breakfast is always served with a smile ,plenty of choice, fresh ingredients ,Warm bread and rolls. Lukas and Micheal always help with any advice of places to go or visit with a smile. The whole breakfast team you can not fault in any way sladi and our wonderful Peter are so efficient giving 100 percent every day, thank you. The rooms are spotlessly clean and the cleaning staff could not do more. In the present climate it is important and we always feel safe and clean in the rooms. Our evening meals were taken at the hotel, The meals were Delicious with plenty of choice and excellent service. Thank you Andrea for your help in the dinning area. The bar staff are out of this world always great service. Thank you so much. Normally when leaving a holiday I’m ready to go home, I was sad to leave , this pension is the best you will find, clean, friendly , helpful ,kind. Can’t wait to return.

After missing the last 2 years on the slopes of Ellmau due to Covid, it was fantastic to finally get back to Pension Claudia and the amazing owners and staff. They genuinely make you feel as though you are the only guests in the accommodation and it was wonderful to see them again and experience their unique style of looking after you. Again, the same large party across 4 rooms, all accomodated together for breakfast at the Pension and again for dinner in the Hotel Hochfilzer 5 mins away. Ingrid and Michael deliver an amazing home made breakfast with organic, local produce which Ingrid will happily give you the recipe for.. as long as you can get your hands on local organic Alpine produce at home ;-) A great big thank you to all the team at Pension Claudia - Ingrid, Michael, Lukas, Peter, Sladi, Isuru and Ana.. we love coming here and have already booked to return in 2024. We are all looking forward to seeing the planned renovations when we come back to "Flora". Many thanks again x

From the minute I arrived I felt right at home in the friendly environment created by Ingrid, Michael and their excellent team. At the Alpenpension Claudia, the location is absolutely perfect for access to the slopes with a tranquil post day in the mountain sunset (even in high ski season) enjoyed in the beautiful front garden every day. The hotel & rooms are neat & clean with an excellent breakfast buffet prepared every morning. I will be back as soon as I can.

Another great stay in this wonderful place! Rooms are spotlessly clean and the cleaning staff are friendly and help with requests wherever they can. Staff are always warm and welcoming which brings the guests together. Breakfast service is the best, Ingrid's and her team provide plenty of choice and Ingrid’s granola is the best!! Micheal , Lukas, sladi and Peter are always efficient and service with a smile. Simply the best team you could dream of, we can’t thank you enough. Our dinner was taken at the hotel where we received first class service. A great choice of menu, delicious options and variety of main course and deserts and the starter salad buffet is amain The bar staff boys are out of this world and you would have to walk a long way to find better. As a group, we loved that the table water is provided free of charge and we could make a donation to a water charity in a box left on our dinning table. We look forward to returning to our lovely tyrol pension next year! What a wonderful team. Thank you all for a wonderful holiday.

I would like to thank all the staff at Pensione Claudia for making my holiday wonderful!!!! Every member of staff were so helpful, breakfast was delicious!!! A great variety of cheeses,ham,granola,yoghurts OHHHHH and a freshly made cake every morning. I have stayed it a lot of resorts in Austria but this by far is the best breakfast I have had. Ingrid and her Team are Fantastic!!!!! Thank you to Sladjana, all the staff treated you like family!,, Evening meal was taken at the Hotel Hochfilzer And yet again the food was outstanding, every evening we were spoiled with the choice. All the staff at both the Pensione and the Hotel are so helpful. They made the holiday fantastic. I understand why so many people keep returning again and again. Count me as a returning guest. See you all soon. Carol

It was my first time staying in Ellmau, although am familiar with the SkiWelt, having stayed in Soll many times. It was also my first time staying in a Pension, and I really struck gold with the Alpenpension Claudia. From the moment I arrived, I was made to feel so welcome by the wonderful Sladi. It was just a short walk (2 mins) to pick up my key from the Hochfilzer Hotel, and once back at the Claudia settled into my room. I had a single on the top floor, with fantastic views of the WilderKaiser range. The room was a single - small, but not tiny - and very comfortable, with a mid-sized bed (not a single, but not quite a double), good sized wardrobe, table and chairs and a small but perfectly formed bathroom, with powerful shower. It felt very homely! Breakfast was I think the best I've experienced anywhere in Austria (and I've stayed at some very nice hotels). A great variety of breads, cheeses, hams, cereals etc, plus every day perfectly cooked scrambled eggs and a different cake, pancakes or other baked item...absolutely delicious. Also the coffee, which was strong and plentiful. The breakfast rooms were beautiful too. I was booked on a half-board package with Inghams (UK Tour operator) and had dinner at the Hochfilzer each evening. Every meal was fantastic...a varied salad buffet, a sorbet (often drenched in alcohol) or soup, delicious main courses (including a vegetarian option) and lovely deserts. The best thing about the whole holiday though was the staff. Everyone I encountered was so friendly, yet professional, and made me feel really welcome. From the team at the Claudia (particularly Sladi and Isuru who felt like friends by the end of the week) to the team in the main hotel - the cheerful receptionists, those in the bar and restaurant who really looked after me, and the chefs with their kitchen team who created delicious meals. So, thank you to everyone at the Claudia (and Hochfilzer)...I can't wait to return in March!

The Claudia is part of Hotel Hochfiltzer. We were greeted by the Claudia staff, in a very warm friendly way. The rooms are spotless and like home from home. Micheal is so warm ,friendly ,welcoming and efficient to see to all the breakfast guests. You have everything you could wish for. After a long two covid years it was fantastic to laugh, and feel safe at this pension. Meals are at the main hotel and were delicious with excellent staff.

Another wonderful stay!!! The weather was great! So glad we had the opportunity to return. Super comfy rooms, amazing and varied breakfast with special sweet treats. Dinners at hotel hochfilzer were superb. We can't wait to return back in a few years. 😀
