MalisGarten Green Spa Hotel

Beautiful hotel, although, upon arrival, my stomach sank as the approach was a bit disappointing.....and Entrance Lobby a little underwhelming. Once inside, the welcome and feel of the place soon made up for that..... I stayed with my elderly Mother, for 7 nights in one of their suites, The Lavender Room. The hotel was extremely quiet, so when presented with the room, and limited views (a side angle view of the famous church), I asked if there may have been another room, same category that had a full view of their well advertised views.....and sure enough, we were swiftly moved, albeit the following day (It's worth asking but couldn't understand as they were so quiet, and we were staying a while, why was this not a consideration prior to our arrival. Some guests would most likely feel reluctant to ask....:( Beautiful room. I think our biggest disappointment was the food. Although one couldn't fault the quality, the aesthetics, the professionalism behind each dish, the menu (we decided on half board) was far too repetitive. Two choices - Classic or Vegetarian .So, if you weren't keen on meat, it's vegetarian. No fish option or otherwise. A Garden salad that was the same every night, lovely but the same, and soups that were delicious, but either super creamy or consomme. Not a fan of consomme so it was cream soups for 7 days!!!!! Very rich.......Deserts again, similar presentation, some mousse, some crumble and some ice cream, of varying flavours. Most alarmingly, nothing at all pertaining to Austrian/local cuisine!!! I appreciate the fact that all ingredients are sourced locally, but cuisine wise, not one insight into Austrian/Tyrolean flavours....and we travel regularly to Austria and Germany for their food!!!! Not even a whiff of a Goulascht soup or an Apfel Strudel, had to head to the local cafe for that!!!! :( I guess if we hadn't stayed for 7 nights, it would have been different, but it was just the lack of variety at dinner that let our experience down somewhat......one looks forward to surprises, particularly on the culinary front, but sadly, this was not the case..... Having said this, all in all, a lovely stay. SPA was just perfect. And the room/beds were top notch. Thankyou!
