Hotel Gurglhof Superior

This was our second stay in Obergurgl, as we normally go to Ischgl and stay at Hotel Trofana Royal, but we were late in booking and missed our train for Christmas celebrations, so we landed going here, and it was nice, indeed, let me tell you why: 1. The hotel is 4s, I have no idea what they missed in getting that 5 star, but they surely have it; 2. The food was excellent, we had a full board and it was good, really they did everything we asked for and did that litlle extra step to please the clients; 3. Sommelier Daniel served us every night was flawless, always picking great local Austrian choices and ordering for the next evening the bubbles and wines they didnt have on the spot. He did a good job walking us through the Austrian wines; 4. The spa area is nice, well not crazy spacious, but the pool is nice, sauna's too 5. The waiters who served us every night were also flawless, my apologies I forgot the correct names and dont want to write wrong ones, but two gents did a very good job, as we have two kids (4 and 1 year) and you know how it is with the kids, always hungry and always no waiting time, but they managed well; 6. We had two junior suite rooms, one on the first floor, that was good and spacious and one on the third floor, which was a little weird, but anyways I am not complaining about it, I understand its Christmas and everything is sold out; 7. Obergurgl itself is not a fancy place where to go shopping or dive into gourmet wine bars or apres ski places, it is rather quite place, I would say perfect for families and escpecially small kids when you need that extra space for them to learn skiing. Ischgl, Solden etc, are certainly more crowded with bigger restaurant, shopping etc. variaties, if you are looking for active social life you will not find it in Obergurgl, but I loved it the way it was. 8. Worth a visit!

Warm and welcoming. Such a beautiful area. All the staff helpful and friendly. Rooms good size. Some modern others more traditional. Spa area clean warm and modern - lovely and relaxing. Obergurgl skiing great for beginners and family, slopes wide and not crowded. Good for non skiers as you can get to the top of the mountain and back on the cable cars. Not a huge selection of food at the hotel but all fresh and tasty. Vegetarian option. Buffet for breakfast and dinner very good. Only one option on the children’s menu which is out with the buffet - great for hungry children to be fed straight away. The hotel does say if you can’t find anything on the menu you like they will try to help with this. Afternoon tea at around 3pm of soup and small buffet, lovely. Ski hire 2 minutes walk from the hotel, boot room and ski storage at the hotel great. Main cable car lifts no more than 5 minute walk in ski boots. Nursery slope just around the corner. The only slight negative is the hotel is very warm which at times is brilliant when you come off the slopes but slightly too warm at dinner. Fantastic stay thank you.

I was very impressed with this hotel, everything was easy. The room, location next to the slopes and the hire shop, food was very good, I especially liked the 3-5pm buffet but breakfast and dinner also very good meaning you didn’t need to have lunch on the slopes. The spa was excellent. All staff were very good and a special mention for Anita who was very helpful throughout.
