Strandhotel Margaretha

The location is amazing however the hotel is not. I feel you are paying for the “view” but the caravan park up the road had the same view for 1/6 the price. We paid for the double room with balcony and lake view…however feel catfished. Balcony was not as pictured, narrow with no privacy and awkward. Very dark room also. Other guests have expressed the same. No wine glasses or bin bags in the bins which you would expect from a nice hotel. Mini fridge was not working, not stocked and staff made minimal attempt to rectify (we were looking forward to a bottle of bubbles and cheese we had picked up on our travels post engagement with our nice “view”. I had to ask for a wine bucket, no offer to deliver). Parking is horrible (as many have mentioned) however I am guessing this is common. Over $500 Australian per night….. I would expect better…. Have experienced much better. Look elsewhere. Plenty of smaller, lovely places around. Beach was nice but from

We stayed three nights at this hotel on our first visit to Salzkammergut. The hotel has a nice location, a short walking distance from the village, and very near the funicular train to go up the mountain and a stop of the boats that cross the lake. Our room was small but had a nice balcony and view to the lake. The breakfast is acceptable (choice and quality) for the price, but the buffet is too small for the number of people. You sometimes have to “queue” to get what you want from the buffet. This is compensated by the large and beautiful terrace with view on the lake where you eat your breakfast. We found the restaurant really good and were surprised diners were only hotel guests as the price quality is very competitive with other places in the village (and the terrace makes the experience nice). The “beach” on the other side of the street was never overcrowded and has some SUPs for the guests. A less positive point is the parking which is too small when the hotel is full. They reimburse if you have to park in the nearby public parking, but we found the parking experience stressing, with guests parking outside the lines or taking two places instead of one for their expensive car. There is a charging station which you can reserve and costs a forfeit of 20 euro for the day.
